It was early morning, and Conner decided to take a trip to the beach. Out on the waves, keeping his balance on the board, as the large waves took him up into the sky. Conner had a look of pure delight on his face. "Yahooooo!" The young man shouted as he rode the wave. Surfing was his passion. He loved the thrill and the adrenaline rush that came from riding the big waves until they crashed onto the shore. It helped him get his mind off the stresses of life. Nothing better than an early morning surf session to start your day.

His Pokémon also enjoyed playing in the water with their trainer. Riptide the Azumarill swam in the water happily splashing in the water. While Storm the Pikachu also rode the waves on a tiny surfboard made just for her.

He spent a few hours riding the waves, but now seemed like a good idea to call it a day. He did have other plans for the day. So, he dried himself off with a towel, put his tank top on and sandals on, then packed up his surfboard and other things, and headed off. He checked his cell phone, and saw he had some messages from his friend Miles. He was going to meet him in the park later but he had gotten there early. [color=00aeef]”He’s going to make me look bad getting there so soon.”[/color] He chuckled to himself.

After going back home to change out of his beachwear, and drop off his surf gear at home, he made his way to the park on a skateboard. His Pokémon followed in tow. Conner preferred having them out whenever possible. What was the point of being a Pokémon Trainer if you didn’t flaunt your Pokémon around town? Storm sat on his shoulder, and Riptide rode on the skateboard with him.

Conner found the swing tree that Miles was talking about, and looked around, but there was no sign of him.

It didn’t take long for him to hear a commotion nearby, and the sound of Miles’ voice among them. He heard the words Pokémon Battle, and his face lit up. If there’s one thing he liked as much as Surfing, it’s Pokémon Battles. Conner jogged over to where he was, and the two boys he was challenging. Conner wasn’t aware of the context of this situation, but it didn’t matter. Battles were battles, and Conner had to be involved. [color=00aeef]”There you are Miles! You just get here, and you start a Pokémon Battle without me! I want in.”[/color] He knew Miles wasn’t the best at this battling thing. He needed all the help he could get if he was being honest. He looked to his Pokémon. [color=00aeef]”K guys, which one of you wants to get in there?”[/color]

Riptide was normally Conner’s go to battle Pokémon, but this time Storm wanted some action. She lept off her trainers shoulder, and shouted “Pikaaa!” and threw a small arm into the air.
