I rolled my eyes as Kamina wasn't mentioned by Spruce at all. Despite this, I continued onwards with Spruce and Celes, not saying anything as we passed Pokemon that were seemingly unaware of us. Eventually, we made it to the beach, which made me wonder why we didn't have such a feature instead. Regardless, I got to see an HM in action, wincing at the sudden bubbles forming around us. I remember my last experience with water: not only was I lucky enough to avoid oxidation, but also the possible death of everyone around me. Something feels odd about my previous sentence.

Anyway, floating around with a bubble around me was pretty confusing, as if having some Pokes floating around me in a ring wasn't dizzying enough. [s]I followed the others into the water so I wouldn't catch someone's attention. However, this whole place got my attention - this was admittedly one of the most beautiful things I had seen. Ever. "I don't know about you, but I really don't think Spruce should lead the way most of the time..." I was supposed to comment about the beauty of this place, how you could pretty much everything even from a distance. But, instead I was replying to Celes' comment about how Spruce shouldn't lead.[/s]

Let's save that for later.

"Hm?" There was an unfamiliar voice around. My Pokes jiggled slightly as I turned in a rather odd fashion, still having a bubble around me as I saw a... Keckleon, bathed in saltwater. We presumably clipped our eyes towards the badges on our chests. "Yes?" I was aware of a rivalry between Allure and Treasure Town's respective guilds. I didn't feel inclined to follow, since that was none of my business and I (or rather we) had more important business to attend to. "There were some others, yes." I gave a proper response to the Keckleon as I took my eye off him and stared down into the ocean. "What do you want? They're underwater, and they're probably waiting for me."
