WAILMER WATCHING (Open)

[Victor Von Doomstein]

He could hear his name being called twice over, and yet it wasn't easy to respond. He clutched onto the sands around him and dragged his body forward. His vision was blurred - he could only see, perhaps only vision, the towel and umbrella he set up, among an ocean of tan sands with black, blurred figures floating along its surface. Grunting, he got up to his feet slowly and lumbered to his destination. Perhaps he was over-dramatizing his wounds, but to be fair he did just get flung across the water by a Surf Attack, slightly burned by a Solar Beam, and nearly drowning wasn't so great either. Dragging himself along, he looked to his side at Lexus, who had her head down in regret. "Garci, just keep moving. I'll hold Oceanus off if he comes by." "Great, that's great.." He gasped in some air and started to pick up in momentum, running toward his little set-up, wet and caked sand clumping off of his body.

"Mer..." Oceanus's hunger wasn't even the slightest bit close to subsiding, and neither was his desire to stop his trainer from sending him back to that infernal Pokeball. It was like the wall. All he does in the ball is stare at the red and white walls he was so inexplicably contained in. Besides, he could probably help himself to just another bite or two. The people he fed off of all those moments ago didn't really seem to mind, I mean, they were probably just in a hurry when they swam off into the shore so quickly.

The thought of returning to that dreaded ball quickly faded as three forces were directly applied to the whale. First, an incredibly warm, incredibly painful beam impacted his gut (or area under his mouth, if you can consider that an abdomen). He was able to shake it off, but he still felt the severe, horrible stinging effects. It knocked him back significantly, and unfortunately for Garci, it pushed the whale ever closer. He managed to make it onto the shore, where a worried Larvesta was awaiting to confront him. Speaking of frightened, Persephone the Diglett seems to have dug a few tunnels through the ground, as she suddenly found herself popping up right next to Lexus yet again.

Back to Oceanus, though. He grinned at Lexus, and shut his eyes deeply, preparing the water he absorbed for a devastating Hydro Pump, when he received the second and third previously mentioned forces. One Shock Wave hailing from the sky was a shock enough for the whale, as he started to feel buzzes and crackles within him. The type advantage dealt some major pain to the whale, and the oncoming Thunder exacerbated it. The Wailmer flinched backward, and fell into the shallow shore.

Meanwhile, across the sands, Garci made it to his goal. He stumbles onto his towel, and reaches for the opened ball containing Oceanus. Clicking it closed, he pressed the button on it and tossed it behind him gingerly. The ball soon emitted a bright light which enveloped the unconscious Wailmer's body, sucking it within, and finally closed again. It fell a short distance behind Garci. The boy continued to breathe heavily, feeling whatever energy he had that carried him across the beach quickly melt away. Eyes almost immediately falling shut, he himself went out cold, face buried in the sand. Lexus approached him quickly, and looked down at him.

"Goodness, Garci.." With Persephone's help, she managed to flip the boy over and get him on his back. He looked to be in dire shape - battered by sands and water alike, and that visible mark on his left arm from the Solar Beam revealed itself in full form. However, he did at least look a little peaceful. A little bit, at least. And alive, too, as icing on the cake.

Dread filled her as she watched the Wailmer make his way to Garci, that is until the Shock Wave and the Thunder hit the Wailmer but it wasn't until she saw Garci return Oceanus did Carly finally breathe. By this time Minny had made it towards shore and was now near Garci, looking at the boy with worried, anxious eyes. Carly slid off her Milotic and kneeled by Garci's side, water dripping off of her wet hair, something that would normally annoy Carly to no end if not for her concern for Garci's well being. Seeing that Garci was out cold, Carly looked at Lexus instead,"I have an idea ... do you have a bucket or something? We need to put something on that burn before it gets any worse and Minny can do make ice if we have something to contain it in." Minny nodded at Carly's words and started to look around for any sort of container that could be used. Rina twirled happily when her attacks had hit Oceanus and had floated down to rest on top of Carly's head, satisfied that the bad Wailmer had been sufficiently punished now that he had been 'spanked' and put in 'time out' ... or at least that was how the Castform saw it.[/scrolly]

The young man remained limp on the beach floor. To passersby, they would see a faraway body left, possibly as a victim of the strange 'shark' that attacked them. They slowly began to gather in a semicircle around him, if you consider the semicircle to have a diameter of 50 to 100 feet. One of them realized that someone ought to contribute, seeing as the lifeguards were allegedly doing absolutely nothing to help the particular child. This someone rang up 911, and, addressed to the supposedly young girl near him, "Hey! I called an ambulance! Just keep him safe!"

Of course, Lexus and Persephone were already meandering about for a container. Persephone in particular was making an effort, as she bored into the ground and dug back up at certain intervals, almost scouring the entire beach. Lexus found herself at a loss - obviously the Diglett outclassed her in that aspect, so she decided to stay behind and look over her trainer. "I shouldn't have tried to intervene.." The Larvesta shamefully shook her head, blaming herself for Garci's current state.

The Diglett continued to move from hole to hole, making that beloved old chant, "Diglett dig, Diglett dig!", as she eventually found herself shrouded in a red darkness. Oh. She just popped her head into a bucket. Persephone chanted meekly, to try and make her presence known. "D-Diglett! Dig!" Lexus took notice to this, and quickly pointed to the red toy sand bucket that popped out of the ground. "Oh! Will that work?" She pointed her body in Persephone's direction. The poor thing wouldn't be able to get to Garci with that over her head.

Hearing Lexi speak, Carly sighed and shook her head,"No ... it's all right, you had no idea that Rina would interfere, honestly I don't know what that Castform's thinking sometimes myself. You were trying to help Garci and that's all that matters,"Carly replied in a kind voice before looking up to see the Diglett covered by the red bucket as pointed out by Lexi. Knowing that Minny would keep Garci safe for the time being, Carly stood up and ran over to where Persephone had found the bucket before picking it up,"Thank you~,"Carly said quietly before running back over to Garci just as quickly. Setting the bucket down, Carly asked Rina to do a gentle Water Gun before asking Minny to use Ice Beam on the now filled bucket. Once the water was frozen, the bucket shaped ice cube was dumped on the ground before Minny was asked to do an Iron Tail. Minny of course obliged immediately and thus the bucket ice cube was shattered into more manageable chunks. Grabbing the nearest towel, Carly wrapped the ice up in it and pressed it up against Garci's arm, hoping to ease the burn at least somewhat. "Lexi, why don't you hold that there, I've gotta make sure he's breathing." This said, Carly let go of the ice, trusting Lexi to do as she asked and put her ear on Garci's chest; to her relief she felt the rising and falling of his chest and heard the beating of his heart. With this done, Carly once again took hold of the ice and waited for the ambulance to come.[/scrolly]
