Sunscreen on her freckled skin and wide brimmed hat covering her eyes, Damsel was more than ready for the beach. She wore a pink polka dot bikini with frills and had Naveen at her side, who was fluttering around her nervously. Damsel waved the pink pokemon off and spread out a blanket down on the ground, handing over a small umbrella that Naveen placed in the ground. With a chair that was low to the ground Damsel sat herself in the chair and leaned back.
Digging her toes in the sand Damsel took in a deep breath, gazing out into the ocean and watching as children ran around, and parents ate ice cream. It was a relaxing day in the sun and she wasn't planning on doing anything other than try to tan and build a bonfire later. She wasn't the most versed in how to exactly enjoy the beach but she knew that it was sand in your hair and green apple scented shampoo, mermaid dreams on lovely waves. All those things aesthetic tumblr bloggers used and loved.
Personally she just thought the stars in the sky over the water was nice.

When it came to the beach, Sylvester wasn't particularly interested. While he instead would have liked to be looking for pokemon, there were too many people. Well...he could try sending his Barboach, Whiskers, out into the water to find something...but what if he brought in a pokemon Sylvester wasn't yet prepared to handle in battle? He'd be in real trouble if he brought a school of Tentacool and Tentacruel so close to the shore, where people were trying to do something so simple as swim around.
So instead he walked around in a plain white shirt and red board shorts...he probably looked like some sort of lifeguard, but that wasn't the case. He was wandering the beach in search of people with pokemon. Initially he wanted to battle, but in a place like this? He wondered if it was a good idea at all to even try. That was when he saw her...
Some girl with a large hat and freckles was soaking up the sun with her pokemon flapping it's wings about her. The smell it gave off was pleasant, and Sylvester moved to stand over her, partly blocking the sun. "Hey, you a trainer? I was looking for someone to battle." His words were plain and revealed he had little interest to talk to her, even though she was pretty cute. What girl with freckles wasn't? Thinking on it, maybe he did want to talk to her...

Damsel was slightly startled by the sun suddenly being blocked from her right. She pushed her hat up her face to see better, squinting up at the figure lit by the sunlight above her. She took a moment to process what he'd said, pursing her lips, before blinking. A battle?
Oh dear...
Isn't that what she was meant to do though? Battle? But her pokemon....her first two weren't exactly battle pokemon they were support pokemon mostly designed to help keep her pain free. She shifted in her seat, wincing as the pain in her left knee flared up, and clapped her hands together with a nervous smile.
"Okay uhm...I'm sorry but this isn't a battling pokemon. This is a medical support pokemon! I'm really sorry...."
She nervously adjusted her top, awaiting a reply. She did feel bad, really, she was a trainer for a reason and should have been more prepared for something like this to happen, and she supposed she could always sacrifice Aladdin for the greater good of battling since Naveen was the one who knew heal pulse but.....well Aladdin floated in front of the guys face anyway, making threatening motions at him.

"Oh..." Sylvester felt kind of awkward for approaching the girl like this, and now he lingered, not quite sure what to say next. There wasn't another person with a pokemon from what his eyes could see, reluctant to move from where he was because of it. Especially since what she said peaked his curiosity. "Medical support pokemon?" His tone seemed to imply he was puzzled by it. "Do you work at the pokemon center, then?" It was the first option that came to mind, but she just winced in front of him, which begged the question if she was the one her pokemon were taking care of. It made sense then why her pokemon was in his face, and appeared to be angry with him. "Or..are they for you?"

Damsel managed to pull herself out of her chair, leg twitching from the strain she put on it as she grabbed Aladdin out of the air. She was feeling weak today, so it was good the little perfume pokemon used his wings to mostly float in the air to keep the pressure off her arms. Her legs trembled as she stood and she wondered briefly how she managed to walk all the way in the sand without face planting.
Naveen, knowing he'd have to use heal pulse soon, watched carefully and helped support the girl by placing both hands on her right hip to keep her up. She smiled shyly at the stranger and wiggled her fingers in a sort of belated greeting.
"They're uh....for me actually. I uhm, have lupus and I'm actually in a lot of pain right now. Do you uhm, think you could help me to the public showers so my Audino can use heal pulse on me?"
She felt her joints crack as she shifted, the throb almost impossible to ignore. She grimaced and huffed out a sigh, releasing Aladdin so he could flutter around her. Naveen, the audino, made a small noise of alarm as she moved in the sand, and she held out her hands with a pleading expression, hoping he'd grab onto her and help her across the sand.

"Uh..." Sylvester wasn't sure what to say. His mind raced at why she needed to be in the public showers for her pokemon to use heal pulse, though. Whatever the case may be, Sylvester didn't want to say no. It turned out the girl had a pretty urgent affliction, and could use his help. While they were strangers, he felt obliged to aid the girl in making it to where her pokemon could do what they needed to keep her feeling better. "Yeah I can help you with that." But Sylvester wasn't exactly how to do that when he thought about it.
"You just want me to hold you under your shoulder, or did you want to be carried?" It might have been a weird question, but since she was in pain, Sylvester wasn't sure which way would be most comfortable for the girl. The last thing he wanted to do was bring her more pain, so he'd play it safe, rather than sorry.

If she was honest, being in public while using her moves on her own was embarrassing. So the public showers would at least provide her a bit of cover while Naveen did his thing to keep her happy and ....well.....not healthy, but better. Naveen chirped and cooed from her side, where she let her hand fall to his head and soothed him gently. She pondered Sylvester's question and shifted on her feet, legs practically creaking in protest.
"If you could just hold my arm and let me lean against you that'd be perfect. I just....don't like bringing attention to myself is all..."
She snapped her fingers, something that caused her a bit of pain, and smiled sheepishly.
"Oh dear I forgot to introduce myself! I'm Damsel von Endystress."
She reached forward and held onto Sylvester's arm, pressing her weight against his side carefully as she balanced herself.

"Oh, I see..." She was embarrassed to have to do this. She must not have felt very normal out here. It was a wonder the girl had the confidence to come out and enjoy the beach like this. He was glad she did, though...surely someone who suffered like her could feel joy over something so simple. Something Sylvester had taken for granted.
She detailed how to go about helping her, and Sylvester kept Damsel upright while walking with her. She almost sounded like some sort of royalty. Kinda looked it too...he just couldn't get over those freckles for some reason. "I'm Sylvester. Sylvester Blackburne." He responded politely in the exchange of names, his feet moving quickly in hopes of getting her "healed" sooner. Every second of agony was an upset, he just knew it. It had to bother her to rely on a stranger like so.

"Sylvester? What a lovely name"
She breathed out conversationally, her voice slightly strained. They finally made it over to the public showers, a tastefully wooden structure of rooms with doors, mostly open to the air. She made her way behind the structure away from prying eyes and Naveen tottered after her, helping stabilize her against the wall and standing a about a foot away.
He focused really hard, and a heart shaped pulse emitted from his chest, directly into Damsel. She sighed happily, melting against the wall as all her pain faded away. She seemed brighter, her eyes alight and her freckles more prominent against her skin.
"That feels much better, thank you Naveen."
The pokemon chirped happily and Damsel stood, dusting sand off of her legs and smiling shyly at Sylvester.
"thank you for helping me, I never would have been able to make it across the sand on my own. I should really repay you!"

'Lovely...?' Sylvester didn't think very highly of his name. Not that he didn't like it...he just never gave it much thought. It wasn't something he decided on, he was just born with it. Kind of like Damsel and her lupus...he really needed to stop dwelling on that, but it was hard.
After a moment inside, Damsel came back out with a much more lively look. It caught Sylvester off guard the way her skin seemed to glow unlike moments prior. He looked to the Audino and then back to Damsel. "You look a lot better now..." That came out wrong, maybe even weird? Sylvester began to become overly critical of the way he sounded. He didn't want to have it come off in a bad way, no matter which it was. He really sucked at giving compliments. "Oh, that's not necessary. You don't have to repay me. Consider it an act of charity, or some sort of community service." He tried to come off as a nice guy, even though Sylvester knew he really wasn't. He was better than some...maybe. "Do you live around here?" He tried to keep the conversation alive.

Damsel giggled out and twirled for a moment, feeling much better and more on balance. She made a cute pose, sticking out her tongue at Sylvester.
"I feel so much better now that Naveen helped me out!"
An act of charity? Damsel flushed thinking that she was a charity case, but it was kind of true. She relied a lot on the kindness of others to get her through the day, and she clasped her hands behind her back in embarrassment. Oh well, she'd have to get over it eventually right?
"O-oh uhm! No I don't actually! I'm from Vaniville, where all the oranges come from? Those groves, I grew up there."
She smiled thinking about it, but she couldn't dwell for too long or she'd get home sick. She started to walk back to her little set up, situating herself on the towel and patting the spot next to her for Sylvester to sit.

It was something to be amazed if Damsel's pokemon really had this much on an impact on how well she was feeling. Sylvester followed her back to the spot on the beach thinking about it, and seating himself where she patted on the ground next to her. She came from a place called Vaniville, which he was vaguely familiar with. "I'm from Veilstone City myself. It's alright there...but I think I like traveling the region as a trainer. I actually wanted to be a ranger when I was younger, but my parents kind of forced me into being a trainer like them back in the day." He smiled, rubbing the back of his neck nervously. Sylvester didn't normally start talking about his family to people, much less those he met within the hour.
"Like I said, though, I enjoy it. Not to mention being free to travel without being under their supervision has it's benefits. Although they wanted me to have my own separate experience anyways." He nervously looked away. "I think it's how they met..." Sylvester really felt nervous now, since he was saying this all to a girl he just met; a trainer just like him. He tried to change the subject before she could say anything. "Have you and your pokemon ever battled before? I'm curious."

"Veilstone? I haven't managed to get there yet, but it's on my list. I'd love to get to that department store."
She hummed, not exactly liking the thought of being forced to do something she didn't want to. She nearly was at one point, stuck in those orange groves and unable to do much about it. She'd pushed and pushed though and now her parents thought she was at some prestigious breeding school.
Not that she wouldn't have loved that to be honest.
She provided a sweet smile, stretching out her toes in the sand and glancing up, eyes sparkling in the light.
"It sounds like you're doing well. Though maybe if you want to really try it, you should become a ranger anyways? You should follow your own path in life I think."
She mused on this, pursing her lips at the next question.
"To be honest....no. I've never battled before. They're new to me, having my own pokemon. It's lovely though isn't it? Having a companion so loyal."

"Eh, I kind of got over wanting to be a ranger. Being a trainer comes with a lot more freedom. I wake up when I want to, and I stay out late as long as I want to. I choose when I eat, and..." Sylvester felt he was starting to digress, so he bit his tongue and instead looked to answer her inquiry about how great it was to have pokemon. "Yeah, it's nice to have some friends with you, no matter where you are. Although I intend to use them for battle, so it's a little different for me." He looked to Damsel's pokemon and wondered if they would protect her, if it ever came down to it. He hoped so.
"I need strong pokemon who don't think twice when I send them into battle. Sometimes I wonder just how far their loyalties with me lie. I've had it easy so far, but I have yet to challenge any of the gym leaders. Neither have I run into a member of Galactic." Their name seemed to make Sylvester tense up for a moment. He didn't like them. Not many people did. But for him, stealing pokemon for their own use? That was the closest thing to human trafficking he could think of. It was a crime he weighed very heavily, and would like to those who commit the atrocity see punished with the utmost severity. Sylvester was of the opinion that the death penalty should be on the table. Although sometimes he just liked to wish he could be the one to end their reign, if not for the good it would do, then the fame; the reputation and status he would acquire for it.

Damsel could see where he was coming from. She could never be a ranger, could never hope to be that well to do some real good in the world. But being a trainer? That she could do, even if it was in her own way. She barely roughed it, always rushing from town to town to stay with someone or get a hotel, it was her constant worry. But there was freedom in it, in "roughing" it in her own way.
"I might pick some up for battle, it's been strange seeing so many types of wild pokemon! It's been so fascinating really, I love it!"
She got an excited glint in her eyes, clenching her fists loosely and smiling brightly. It faded at the mention of Galactic however, and her brow furrowed. She'd heard rumors on the wind about them, but not much else honestly.
