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!

"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."

"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..."

[blue_ice]

Kaiba helped her untangle it from the line, squinting at it. Did he recognize such a thing?

"You're telling me."

[melodiouspun]

"It looks..." Zuzu frowned, turning it over and squinting at it. Wiping silt from it, she said, "I'm sure I've seen this before. Can I look at the things you've pulled up Mr. Kaiba?"

[blue_ice]

"Sure. The barge is sturdy enough, it'll be fine if we don't jostle it too much."

He crawls back toward the barge to help her with the task, lifting pieces that might look similar.

Zuzu started to go through the items, moving tires and boots here and there and focusing on the bits and pieces Kaiba pulled up. "This is a toaster... this is... I don't know what this is... Here. This is a computer circuit board. This is... yes, I've seen this before."

She fished out a broken piece which looked like a hand. "I've definitely seen this before. I put this into the Recycle Pile this morning!"

"Where do you want this, James?" asked Zuzu over her shoulder in the morning trash dumping.

"Ah, put that in the recycle pile." said James, as he was cleaning up old bits of broken Rocket Robot.

She nodded and placed the robot into the recycle bin.

"What does it matter," grumbled Jessie, passing by. "We'll just dump it all later."

[Flashend]

"What's it doing here? James said it was going to be recycled...?"

[blue_ice]

"Someone's clearly dumping the recyclables," Kaiba grumbles. Not that he's an environmental activist, far from it. But the islands' economy relies on harmonious relationships with Pokémon, and short term gains can so easily create long term losses. Anyone who's not a fool knows that.

He sighs and looks back over at Zuzu.

"Want to go ask him?"

[melodiouspun]

"I should..." Said Zuzu. "James wouldn't do this, he's actually pretty conscious about this. I worry that someone's making him do this. Probably Jessie, she doesn't really care about the environment, considering she just leaves her trash everywhere..."

"I'll give him a call." Said Zuzu. "Maybe he'll pick up?"

[blue_ice]

"Mm. And maybe we should follow the trail?"

They have to all be floating down from somewhere. He casts his rod and snags it on another part---ah, they must be coming from the west.

[melodiouspun]

"I think so, I'm not getting a response, his phone is going straight to voice mail." said Zuzu. "I wonder if he's busy."

"I'll keep trying, go on ahead."
