As Mufasa promised, me, him, Miracle, and Lillie are heading down to the beach.

It truly is a beautiful day, even I can appreciate that.

Miracle got dressed for the occasion...of having a beach day, not a training day.

She's wearing one of those yellow summer dresses, it would look nicer if she wasn't so short and had to borrow a dress Lillie bought.

Miracle grabs little Topaz, "Because Topaz is just a newborn, she gets a pass. I'll let Isa watch her."

She tosses the dino to me and she lands face first in the sand.

Lillie frowns, "So, does that mean I'll have to battle with Snowball?"

"Yup. She'll be up against Tiko."
Tiko flies in and dips his fedora, "I hope you are ready señorita."

Snowball rolls her eyes, "Alright."

Mufasa pushes me, "We're not here to spectate!"

"I have a life, Mufasa!" My voice echo's and everyone turns to me.

Tiko laughs, "Who in the world are you talking to?"

I hold my flippers out to Mufasa, "This Pyroar!"

"There's no one there," Snowball states, "Are you okay? Do you need a doctor?"

I turn to Mufasa, "What! Only I can see you?" I whisper.
He nods, "Yup."

I groan, "Great. Now everyone thinks I'm insane."

Topaz starts nibbling on my tail,

"Y'know what? I'm not going to listen to a dead lion claiming he's here to help me. I'm gonna go and eat some food. Goodbye, Mufasa!"

Mufasa waves before disappearing into thin air, hopefully forever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I decided to take little Topaz with me, the precious child.

Me, being the elegant Primarina that I am, goes to the most elegant place in Hau'oli city.

The pier.

It's second best to the beach but, I had to compromise.

There, I meet quite the familiar face.
"Tesla? Is that you?"

The large Luxray turns to me and nods, "Who else would it be."

"What're you doing here?"

He continues to stare out at the sea, "I wandered over here I guess. Maybe I just wanted to see you again. Maybe not."

I can't hold back my smile, "Desperate much?"

He shrugs, "I meant it in a platonic way."

He pads over to me and Topaz, "So, who's the Tyrunt?"

"Her name is Topaz. She's Lillie's Pokémon."

"Lillie's a trainer now? Wait. You evolved."

I laugh, "How could you have missed that?"

He rubs his eyes, "My eyesight is failing. Ever since that whole Flash incident."

"Oh, yeah. I forgot about that. Well on the bright side at least you're not Rudy."

He tilts his head.

"Miracle's Mudsdale. He's completely blind."

"Miracle...."

"Right! You have no idea who I'm talking about!"

He nods, "You could always introduce me."

"Yeah. I like that idea."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first place I take him to is the malasada shop where Hau and Gladion are.

"Who's the edgelord?" He asks as we sit down to eat.

Gladion truly is getting his edge on.

He's sitting in a dark corner with the most uninterested look on his face, while everybody else is smiling because Hau is there, the ball of sunshine.

"C'mon Gladion! These malasadas won't eat themselves!" Hau says with a smile.

Well, that wasn't hard.
Hau even got Gladion to smile, I'm calling witch-craft!

After finishing our food we head to the beach.

"Alright, Lillie, it's simple as pie." Miracle says as Peanut finishes sewing up his costume.

"All you have to do is shout the attack with passion!"

Miracle picks up a beach ball and hurls it at Lillie.

"Uhh...Freeze-Dry!"

Pop!
No more beach ball.
Miracle smiles, "I knew you could do it."

Lillie thinks otherwise, "Can we take a break?"

"No. Pain is gain."

Lillie gives her a concerned look, "Are you in pain?"

"Yes." Miracle just stares at her for about a minute, "But pain is gain. Think fast!"

Miracle has beach ball regeneration powers!

Lillie was just as surprised as I was.

"Ow! Why'd you throw that at me?" She asks rubbing her head.

"Pain Is Gain."

Tesla chuckles, "So, that little black girl is your trainer?"

"Wow, Tesla. She has a name."

He pushes me with a paw, "I was only joking. Who's the Mimikyu?"

"That's Peanut, he's a shy one. The Vulpix is Snowball. She's uhh...got some anger problems."

"Don't talk about yourself like that." He says with a smile.

I roll my eyes, "Haha. Very funny. Now c'mon we've still got more people to meet."

Leafeon and Nightshade are having a fun little time on the beach.

By that I mean they really need to stop throwing sand at each other.

"What're you two doing?" I ask waddling up to them, "Learning how to use Sand Attack?"

Nightshade squints up at me, "Is that a Luxray?"

"Yeah. His name is Tesla."

Tesla waves at them.

Leafeon waves back but Nightshade just kinda stares...it's really creepy.

"Is it a male," she asks.

"Yeah," I reply slowly.

She smiles, again, it's creepy.

"Ooooo! Isabelle's got a boyfriend!"

I groan, "I really want to know where you got that from."

"Do you need some relationship advice?" Leafeon asks her body shaking slightly to get some sand off, "Larry says he's the best but we all know that he sucks!"

Tesla moves his paw to her and she jumps back.

Tesla chuckles. "She's afraid of my paw. What makes her think she can give me relationship advice?"

Nightshade gives him a...seductive look, "I give the best relationship advice."

OH MY ARCEUS!
What happened to her?
Larry is clearly a bad influence.

Leafeon's face instantly turns red, even though Nightshade wasn't even talking to her.

Tesla shakes his head, "Aren't you lesbian? You shouldn't be flirting with me when your girlfriend is right there."

Nightshade groans and places her hands on her hips, "You were supposed to play along! Leafeon-"

Leafeon is redder than a sunburnt Alolan Ditto and she is trembling so bad that I think she might fall.

Nightshade laughs, "Aw, geez, Leafeon! Why are you blushing so bad?"

"Because....y'know" she puffs out her chest and turns her head away from us, "R-reasons...adult reasons."

I shake my head, "Control yourself, please. C'mon Tesla. Let's leave these two alone."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
While we got away from them we still had to deal with a couple that I know is a thing but Tiko just won't admit it.

"Tiko! Get your boyfriend over here!" I yell at the Toucannon.

Next to him is Tula and Incineroar.

Tiko dashes over to me, "He is not my boyfriend! Tula is."

Tula chokes on her water, "I'm not a boy!"

Tiko shrugs, "Are now."

"So, you are gay?" I say mischievously.

He realizes the mistake he made, "W-what no! I like girls! Tula! You're a girl! Tell idiot Isa that!"

Tula giggles, "Isa! You got him good!"

Incineroar pads over to us, "Why is Tesla here?"

"You are my boyfriend right?" I hear Tula say in a small voice.

Tiko glances at her and shakes his feathers, "Nah."

Tula shocks him and he laughs, "Chill! Can't you take a joke."

"Just wanted to say hi to you, kitty," Tesla says with a smile.

Incineroar chuckles but his smile quickly fades, "Never call me that again."

Tesla takes a step back, "R-right. Uhh, Isa, can we go?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Ugh!" A certain lion whines, "I told you to find out what the prophecy means not get a boyfriend." Mufasa says while casually floating in the air.

I roll my eyes, "You said you would help me. So, this is actually your fault. I hope Opal strikes you down."

He gasps, "Hey! You can't say that!"

He lowers his head and moves his paw next to his muzzle, "She can hear you." He whispers.
 
"Not my problem," I say before walking off with Tesla to the pier.
 
The alolan sun is setting and with it comes a calm breeze.

Tesla is splayed out the ground enjoying the breeze while I watch Topaz run after her tail.

Tesla takes a deep breath, "Nothing like an Alola sunset. Out of all the places I've been I've never felt anything so nice."

"Yeah." I look out at the kids playing in the ocean, "I just wish they would stop making so much noise."

I now realize why Miracle was wearing that dress, gotta hide that bikini somehow.

Hau decided to introduce his friends to surfing.

I must say, Larry is out showing all of them.

Even Siren; she's one of the best swimmers I've ever seen.
Excluding me, of course.

Tesla twitches his tail, "It's not that bad. Let the kids have fun."

Topaz jumps on his tail and begins attacking it.

Tesla chuckles and moves his tail back and forth as she chases it.

"She's so cute. How did a grump like you meet a bundle of energy like this?"

"Hey. I'm not that bad, I just have preferences."

He chuckles, "Horrible preferences."

I glare at him but can't help but laugh as Topaz wipes that smirk off his face with a Thunder Fang.

He pulls his tail close, "I think that's enough for today."

Topaz frowns and waddles over to me.

It's not long before she drifts off to sleep.

"So, how's Ducidueye?" Tesla asks.

"Still a goof."

"Incineroar's still a weirdo?"

"Yup."

Tesla chuckles then frowns as he looks out at the horizon, "Uhh, you remember Robin Hood right?"
 
"The Fennekin that steals money and gives it to poor people? What relevance does he have?"

"Not that one. The Ducidueye. The one that always bothers your father; he always wants fish or something."

I think about that shiny Ducidueye that would always bug my father, much to my amusement.

"Oh, him! He's great! But why are you bringing him up?"
 
He sits up and points out at the sea.

Rudely flying and swimming in is Maui, Robin, and the whole Primarina Village.

What fun.

Maui leaps out of the sea and onto the pier.

He rudely pushes past Tesla, "Uilani!" He yells, waking up Topaz.

"Isabelle! It's Isabelle!" I yell back at him.

Robin lands on his head, "Listen to your daughter's words, amigo. Wouldn't want her to run away again."

I'll run away from Melemele if it means I get away from these two.
