Birds of a Feather...(Open)

[Aether]

/{Time: 2 months after the return from Midgar; November; slightly sunny, not warm, but not cold.}\
<*Location: The beach*>
=[Characters present: Aiden and his pokemon; Vince and his pokemon; (Whoever decides they want to be there in the beginning. XD)]=

"Ah, life on the open sea! Live on what you catch; the soothing sounds of the waves on a moonlit night...and FYSH!!!"
"But we're not even out at sea...we're sitting here on a beach while you fish."
"It doesn't sound so special when you put it that way...Gotta keep things lively, or we'll all go insane!"
"Like you?"
"Yes! Exactly like-Hey!"
"Hahaha!
Nonetheless...It's a nice day to be at the beach, being November and all. But do you really think you can catch some fish by dinner? I don't want to have to fix soemthing up at the last second..."
"Of course I can! Do you doubt my fishing abilities! This is like a lazy man's sport...for me, this is perfect! Well be covered in fish guts by no time flat!"
"..."
"..."

Django couldn't help but snicker when he was walking along the beach. (Yep, I said Django. Nexo got in a bit of mishap in Midgar and kinda' had to do a few things to stay out of trouble. Shhh.....it's a secret.) When he saw Vince, he wave. It'd be the second time they would meet. Aiden, on the other hand, hadn't really spoken to him, even on the Shira. Bruli saw the other pokemon and decided not to speak yet. Ginger on the other hand dashed over to the other pokemon. They approached at a steady pace and stood next to the two other boys. "Hey, Vince and uh......Adrian? No, Aiden! How's it going?" he said, hesitating to sit. No need to be hasty. Ater was in the water, Ginger was chasing a Butterfree, Skeith was practicing his stealth skills, Bruli was behind him. Yep, same old stuff.

"...See, the sun feels nice for it being November. I know you really don't like water, but it doesn't seem to violent today..."

"It's ok, I have to get over it no matter the circumstance...and are those your friends over there? They look kind of weird...

...If they're fishing, why haven't they started on a fire pit? The bait looks like it could be the wrong kind too..."

"Yep, it looks like its them...wonder what made them come here? Maybe they're just going to catch and release? People fish for fun too you know...

So then, shall we greet them?"

Naomi and the remainder of her team proceeded down the beach like the others, surprised that so many would arrive here. It was the perfect weather for a jog, surprisingly warm, but probably not the best idea to swim. Fishing would probably turn out well though. Rhea, partnered with the two Combusken, Ryusekian and Fire, strolled alongside Naomi, while Farrah's team trailed her footsteps. Rashid seemed to have a quiet air about him as the Charmander Eires rode the Absol's back, seemingly curious about everything around her.

"Hey Aiden, Vince, Nexo. Fenrir...you guys have any luck yet?"

Naomi seemed to smile brightly waving from afar, as Farrah made a slight wave herself, though obviously shy about the situation. This could turn out rather interesting. They hadn't expected to meet up with anyone on the trip, but a brief hello wouldn't be too far out of the way. In fact, it could even turn out beneficial, seeing as they had some time to kill.

It was going to be a nice opportunity to catch up after the trials in Midgar. In all honesty, the pair weren't sure when they were going to get a chance to speak together like this again.

[Acerbus]

Django laughed at the mention of his old name. "Hey, Farrah, Naomi! And I prefer Django for safety reasons. It was my middle name anyways." he said, with a slight shrug. Considering everyone was there, he felt like he belonged. "Feels kinda' awkward since we're all in the same spot not trying to save the world." Django said. Then, he started twirling a small ball of energy on his finger only to blow it out. This process continued for a long period of time.

[Aether]

Vince remained completely focused on the pole, making sure that no movements were detected, yet he could still hear the voices around him, and he didn;t have to think much as to who addressed him.

"Luck? A man does not need luck in the sport of fishing. He needs patience and strategy. A man must think like a fish, yet out-think the fish. With the proper timing, the bounty of the sea shall be ours..."

Fenrir turned his head, glancing back at Rhea, Naomi and the others. He gave the a quick and faint smile along with a nod of acknowledgment before looking back out at the sea.

"In other words: Not a single bite..."
"Patience my pungent friend, patience! You'll get what's coming to you..."
"...What?"
"Uhh, it was a joke...from Aladdin? ...Disney? ... When Jafar is-*sigh*-Never mind..."

Aiden also turned around, only he stood up to greet everyone. He smiled to see Naomi, but was glad to see the others as well.

"Hey Naomi and Farrah. Hey uhh...Django." (He had yet to get use to that name change.)
"Well, Fisherman Joe, or the "royal vizier" here said he'd treat us to dinner tonight, you know: his little way of payment for living with us and all. However, he has yet to catch anything, and I'm starting to get a little worried..."
"Paaaaatience. You all worry too much. Sit back and relax! For crying out loud, you're all at the beach! Throw a ball or something!"

Right as Vince finished his speech, the sand underneath Rashid's front paws began to rise upwards until the head of a peculiar Garchomp appeared and looked up at the arrivals.
"Well hello! I thought I heard someone coming. How are all of you doing? Oh...sorry about your foothold there...thought I would be off a foot or two..."

[wildkuma]

"Oh ok...the Royal Visier is sharing his wealth? Guess we've got quite a while to wait then...though I'm sure he'll have a breakthrough sooner or later. Sorry about that Django, I was just a little used to calling you Nexo. It does feel kind of odd to be here without a objective...

A few games in the meantime sounds like a good idea though. What do you think Farrah? Head back to town, grab a few extra materials, and hang out for the afternoon?"

"...Why are you making me decide everything?"

*Sighs*

At the message seemed to have reached its target; the roar of the surf had failed to interrupt her words despite her recent injury. Naomi's voice was functioning quite well; the revelation made her turn to Farrah with a smile, which immediately facepalmed in disbelief. How she could be so happy after all they had been through? It was only too suddenly that a dark blue head popped out of the sand beside the young girl, in in the place of Rashid, which caused disbelief to turn to a case of momentary shock.

"Rashid, Night Slash, now!

"Hey, take it easy! It's just Kronos, leave him alone!"

Naomi could only sigh as the golden Absol jumped back, sending Eires tumbling onto Krono's head, though without much upset. As long as she had a perch, she seemed quite content. "Hello there. I think you chose a odd place to pop up!" She exclaimed quite casually, unsure as to whether she'd be instructed to move or not. Naomi could only shake her head as she looked to the dragon type apologetically, though there was a bit of wistfulness in her expression too.

"Sorry about that Kronos, this one is a few apples short...but she's kind on the inside, so go easy on her...Rashid knows a lot better that that though..."

(Speak for yourself...that thing scared the crap out of me...)

(Hehehe....this is going to turn out fun, isn't it?)

[Aether]

Kronos already had his head back in the hole as he heard the command, preferring to keep what was his right where it was at. Luckily, the Absol only jumped back in reaction, which sent the blue-flamed Charmander onto his head; not that he really cared anyways.
"Well hello there! Sorry about that; I'm usually more precise when it comes to emerging. Hope my upset didn't cause too much trouble...

And there's no need to worry; I've dealt with people with far less apples. *slight chuckle*"
"Ha ha ha...laugh it up-"

Normally Vince would have continued on with some kind of joke in retaliation, if it was not for the tug he got on his pole. And so the epic battle commenced...

Well, the battle was not that epic. Vince simply jumped to his feet and began pulling and reeling.
"Ok! If it's Magikarp, Magikarp ala King. If it's Feebas, Feebas ala King. If it's anything else...Magikarp ala King!"
His answer was quickly found when a flash of red flew out of the water toward Fenrir's direction. At first, it appeared Fenrir wasn't focused entirely on the flying fish, which could have turned out to be a rather humorous event, if the Lucario hadn't shielded himself with his wing at the last moment. The large Magikarp flopped to the ground and continued said-flopping.
"FFFFFYYYYYSH!"
(It was a big fish)

Aiden glanced back for a moment, letting out a small laugh out of humor and somewhat relief, seeing as they wouldn't go hungry tonight.
"Games sound like a good idea; We haven't done much since we got back, so things have been somewhat...boring around here"
"Mah boi! This peace is what all true warriors strive for!"
"...What-"
"Nothing!
Anyways, I can only do so much for entertainment when I'm the only one contributing. You have to give the artist time to create...or your own contributions would be great as well.
Anyways, a break sounds fantabulous! I've been staring at this ocean for hours and I'm getting sea sick from it."

Any kind of activity sounded great at the moment to the group.
****

("Oh! Where did he go? How did he not fall where I fell? He didn't fall into the ocean, did he? That would be bad...that would be very very bad!")

[Acerbus]

Kronos startled Skeith to the point where he released a Hyper Beam out of his claws. "Whoops...I is sorry. Still jumpy from Midgar. Big battle make me very nervous." Django chuckled as the Scizor moved towards everyone again. "Nice, Skeith. Maybe Master Kenta didn't teach you so well. At the mention of games, a idea popped up in Django's head. "Well....we're all pretty good on our feet soooo.....Manhunt?" Manhunt was a urban game mainly played in the city. But considering the coverage of the island would make this a interesting game. "Basically, there are two teams. The point is to capture another player and take them to your base. But, you can't fight to get free. Someone has to free you from the clutch. Whoever gets most points wins. You gain points every minute. If you have for people free, you got four points a minute. You can free someone by touching the other team's base and saying 'Manhunt'. The time limit could be maybe a hour or thirty minutes. Anyone want to make it interesting or just knock at it?" Ginger meowed like a giddy girl. "OH YAY! Now, I get to eat some Magikarp and hunt for a man! I'mma bag me a cute one!" Bruli then tried to convince her that they weren't looking for male pokemon while Django waited for a response.
