[fallers_npcs]

Today in Pokemon School, there has been an assignment for the classes! Everyone gets to go out on the Ride Pokemon onto the ocean. It's a simple little all day assignment where we get to socialize with people young and old across the classes.

Dressed in clothing suited for actual swimming as well as being on the water, Misty and Professor Kukui are heading up this lesson with Misty's best friend and semi-TA for this lesson Lana!

"All right class, everyone ready? We're going to head out on the Ride Pokemon, so let's get set! Everyone got your fishing poles? We're going to head out to Lana's fishing spot, which is out on the open ocean! It's going to be a beautiful day today, and then we'll head to the site of the Totem Pokemon, Wishiwashi. It'll be a fun day, so please everyone get ready to learn about Water Pokemon!

Fishing - Open Ocean

Fishing Toplevels Here And Interaction

[hearts_beat]

Ellen let out a relaxing sigh as she fishes off the side of her Ride Pokémon, enjoying the quietness of it all. With the slight hecticness of the past few weeks, it was actually quite calming.

And who knew - she might catch a Pokémon or two!

[fallers_npcs]

Lillie was there with the class, and she was casting her line nearby when she scooted over. "Water Pokemon biting?" she asked curiously.

"Koo!" Exclaimed Snowball cheerfully at Ellen.

[hearts_beat]

“Not yet...” Ellen admitted, reaching over to pet Snowball in return. “Hopefully one will.”

[fallers_npcs]

"I'm sure it'll happen soon! Keep at it, and a Pokemon will come." said Lillie. "Lana always said fishing takes patience, and everything will fall into place. It's just as much of a battle as a actual Pokemon Battle."

[serperiority]

"At least somebody's enjoying this."

Fishing is so, so, so boring.

He'd rather battle something!!

[hearts_beat]

“Oh, it’s not that bad! Who knows, you might catch a Pokémon!” Ellen said

[serperiority]

“That’s true, but finding Pokemon on foot is more interesting to look at, once you’re out in the water, it all starts to look the same, and you can’t move as much either.”

Kaiba is amenable to a new lesson. He's content to drift along the ocean, occasionally tossing a line. Oh, there's a bite! He eagerly reels it in, pulling the rod up to reveal...

Another tire. Sigh. He adds it to the little trash barge he's towing along. He hasn't caught any Pokémon yet, but he's sure keeping the waters clean.

[melodiouspun]

Zuzu is having better luck, having reeled in a Luvdisc which shone in the morning light. Her rotom took a picture of it before she released it to the wild before she pulled her Lapras towards Kaiba.

"Having any luck?" she asked curiously, noting the trash bin behind him.

[blue_ice]

"What does it look like?" Kaiba reaches for his wet cloth and wipes his brow, readying the line for another toss. He looks a little frustrated, but tries to smile at her anyway.

"But if I clear the pollution it might draw the Pokémon back here."

[melodiouspun]

"Here, let me help." Said Zuzu, casting her line close by.

She waited for a bit, turning a thought over in her head. "I wonder who would be dumping in a area like this? Someone would be pretty mean to be dumping in this area..."

As if on cue, she drew up a piece of broken machinery and she frowned. "Wait... what is this? This looks familiar..."

[serperiority]

Whoa, another one.

"... I hope nobody crashed their car into the ocean."

That's way too many tires in one day.

[blue_ice]

"It could be polluters from the junkyard. We've had a few."

Kaiba pokes at the discarded tires with a frown. "Any on your line?"

[serperiority]

“Not a bite. I thought I caught a Pyukumuku once, but it was a deflated squeaky toy.”

He rolled the distorted-looking toy out of the seaweed and pressed his palm into it, it slowly let out a sad, squelchy squeak.

Peter's not sure how much he likes this. On land there's lots of things he can do to escape a bad situation with his webs if he needed to. Out at sea? His options have become extremely limited. It's not like he can't swim and sharks aren't even anything he has to worry about-not like great whites and whatnot, anyway.

It's just fishing and he's using his powers to make sure he stays stuck to the lapras he's sitting on so he's not going anywhere. His senses have decided to somewhat work today as they're very, very aware of anything gets near him. Such as any pokemon that swims under Lapras and it's making him a bit jumpy.

He manages to calm down a little up until something bigger decides to swim closer and his senses scream at him to move and he's getting ready to do just that when something orange shoots up out of the water and knocks right into him, knocking him clean into the water with a splash.

"Shit! It's cold!" are the first words out of his mouth upon resurfacing and wow does salt water states disgusting.

[fallers_npcs]

"It's not too bad right now," said Misty, their teacher as she held out a hand. "Back in Kanto, it would be too cold to swim in the ocean and rivers right now since it's Fall. Some regions of Kanto is actually snow all year around since it's the mountains."

"Duck!" Exclaimed Psyduck, the waterfowl sitting on the Lapras's head.

[hashtagparkerluck]

He's never going to get the taste of salt water out of his mouth. He can feel his cheeks burning a bit because now he's soaked and looks like a drowned rat. Or Ratata as is the case here.

"Thanks." He takes her hand to get out of the water. "Yeah, there's places where I'm from that have snow all year round-you have to get pretty high up in the mountains though." He climbs back up on the lapras.

"Swallowing that much sea water was super rough though."

[fallers_npcs]

"Yeah it's pretty temperate around Cerulean City," replied Misty. "And we keep the Cerulean Gym pretty warm since the overhaul. We completely rebuilt it from the ground up."

[serperiority]

Trip looked immensely grumpy and felt like a fashion-blind, tacky tourist, but his usual ensemble was too hot for the weather and he wasn't going to get any nice clothes drenched in sea-water, so it's swimming shorts and a tacky tourist trap-looking shirt he wouldn't mind ruining, but his pride still took a hit.

It was orange in a much more eye-searing way than his usual jacket—the darker swimming shorts did absolutely nothing to offset the day-glo sunset and Toucannon print.

Care to approach?

[fallers_npcs]

"How's everything here?" asked Misty, coming up on her Lapras as she and her Psyduck were teaching the class. "Catch anything neat?"

[serperiority]

He grumpily held up seaweed, (one) diver’s flipper, and what appeared to be a very squashed and wrinkly Pyukumu—oh, no, squeezing it just gave most miserably garbled and wet-sounding squeak.

Despite being dressed for the water, Bridge couldn't help eyeing the Pokemon's harness uncertainly.

"Does fishing have to be out in the water? Can't we go fishing for Pokemon on a dock or something?"

[fallers_npcs]

"For this exercise, we do have to be out on Ride Pokemon," replied Misty. "It's perfectly safe and you have a selection of Ride Pokemon to choose from."

It was true, there were several Ride Pokemon with huge seats with plenty of room to sit on.

[takeittothebridge]

Bridge glanced at the Ride Pokemon in question, and in all honesty, he couldn't help being a bit curious.

"They won't, uh...submerge underwater while we're riding on them, will they?"
