It would be a little awkward as Ettie switched mounts - trying to avoid taking a dip in the water, or the egg getting wet - and got onto Prower's back. Once she was able to steady herself on the Floatzel's back though, she'd carefully place her hands on his shoulders - smiling a bit giddily, ready to see how it'd feel to ride such a fast pokemon! The tingling, to begin, was a bit of an odd feeling; one that Ettie didn't really care for, though she didn't mind it otherwise. "Hi there, Prower!" She'd chirp to the Floatzel, gently scratching him behind the ear. "Let's go at it! As fast as you want!"
Gently nudging with her heel, she'd ride onwards on Prower's back - and though she initially was startled at just how quicky he accelerated, she couldn't help an overjoyed whoop of excitement at it all! "Wheeeeeeeeheheheheeeeee!" She'd let Prower go as fast as he wanted - going in wide circles around the assembled group as they sailed along! Aurien and Cassie, both, would share little bwarks of surprise as Prower zipped by - and even Pierre couldn't help a startled yelp of his own, briefly diving his head underwater like an ostrich might stick its head in the sand!
The egg, meanwhile, would continue to rock; and Ettie would glance down to the sling, just in time to see a crack in the shell! As Azur called to ask if everything was alright, Ettie would wave widely to him - calling "The egg is hatching, Azur!" in a cheery voice, smiling brightly. Indeed, bit by bit, the egg would begin to crack and split - and before long, a little Rookidee would burst from it! Ettie would briefly have to direct Prower to slow down - allowing the Rookidee to settle himself down in the sling; preening his feathers, as little red eyes gazed at his surroundings. Ettie, smiling, would reach down to scritch the top of the Rookidee's head with a finger, cooing "Hi there, little fella. We're out on the ocean!"
The Rookidee seemed to accept the touch, but otherwise did not react to it; glancing about briefly. Before long, he'd chirrup a bit, and hop out of the sling; perching on Prower's head, just in front of where Ettie was seated! Did he want to see where they were going, too? Giggling, Ettie gently patted the little bird, and would direct Prower onwards once more; watching as a Huntail briefly breached out of the water - parallel to the Floatzel - before disappearing into the water once more...!
"We need to find a name for you, at some point," Ettie would muse to the Rookidee, meanwhile; humming thoughtfully. What name would work, for a little birdie like him, that would become a big ol' Corviknight..? Pierre the Furfrou - Level 8 - 5/5 Energy Aurien the Popplio - Level 11 - 5/5 Energy Cassie the Popplio - Level 11 - 5/5 Energy Adhara the Yamper - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy Sirius the Yamper - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy Unnamed the Rookidee - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy
Azur was learning quickly. "That's precisely why I got gear so lavish and soft for Serena," Shalin answered. "Bareback works really well for some Pokémon; not so well for others. Serena's really fast, so I needed to make sure I had her gear made out of a comfortable material. It wasn't cheap, but you get what you pay for." She smiled when she saw Azur catch a Lapras of his own. "Good think you're learning with Classie, huh?" Some of her words may have been a bit hard to understand, what with her swishing back and forth across the water. Levy didn't seem to mind at all, though - if anything, it made the Milotic happier he could really entertain the girl on such a long swim!
Speaking of Ettie, she seemed to be really enjoying herself, though she didn't seem to appreciate the mild vibration too much from Prower's tails whirling. Once he had lowered them into the water, though, both of them seemed to disappear, the breeder screaming like a young girl on her favorite roller coaster. Once Shalin and Levy had caught up with the others, she slowly inched forward on her serpentine Pokémon to resume riding him like any sane person would.
She pulled Levy over to where Ettie was the moment she shouted something about the egg hatching. Egg shells rapidly floated away from Prower's strong wake, even with his lowered speed. With one last push out of the egg, a Rookidee was born - what an adorable thing the newborn was! "Wow, this is the first time I've seen one of those hatch! It's so cute!" Shalin remarked in a much higher pitch than the others were probably used to. Vannifar nudged into Levy and into Shalin'e left leg while she was listening to the newborn chirp. "Don't worry, Vannifar - you'll get your turn shortly." The Tentacruel started swimming erratically around Levy's left side as the two broke away from the speedy Floatzel and gave Ettie room again. Not too long after, she could see a wounded Alomomola rise to the water's surface, filled with venomous marks on its pink skin. It must have gotten caught up in Vannifar's long tentacles!

While shy and often self-conscious, this quiet girl absolutely loves to sing and perform. Unfortunately, she has a bad case of nerves and only does so when she believes nobody is around. She will need to gain confidence before she's able to sing, or even battle in front of anyone aside from her trainer and friends.
Tag: Must pass an obedience roll of 60 each time she's asked to battle until 1 training thread has been completed (0/1 training).
All is good apparently, at least for the meantime! Azur signalled to Classie to get closer to Ettie while Lacus brought the Wailmer's Pokeball to him. This one, he'll name her Marina, he guess... Another name was to call her 'Muu' from 'Bahamut', but that name is probably a bit too big for her... Hmmm, should he switch out some Pokemons too... When he asked Lacus what should he do, the Lapras shook her head as if saying that he should keep his party for the meantime...
"...Hmmm, alright then."
Just as he was about to leave the proximity, he heard a melodious voice. Lacus looked around to find the source of the sound... and found... is that a Brionne? That one is rare... "Classie, sorry, can get there first? It's seem that Lacus is really interested on it..."
True enough, Lacus already approached, without the Brionne quite knowing that the Lapras is already behind her... It wasn't until the Lapras followed the Brionne's melody that she snapped to attention, and was about to run! But Lacus, encouraging as she is, would block the way, singing melodiously at her, inviting her to sing too! C'mon, friend, sing! is what Lacus probably saying. Azur noted that the Brionne is very shy... so he decided to instead swim himself toward the reef where the Brionne is...
"Sorry about that! Lacus just really love to follow whatever someone is doing... She wanted to be part of your singing apparently... Great voice by the way..."
...No response? Did he scares her? But upon closer inspection, the Brionne is actually... blushing.... Aww, that's so cute! Azur, still bobbing on the water decided to approach her slowly.
"...Say, would you be interested to join our team?"
The Brionne looked confused. Why does this human would want her to join his team? She's nothing special, she got stage fright... and she most likely will not battle anyway! Lacus wanted to say something, but Azur gently pat the Lapras' head.
"One by one, Lacus, don't force her. Let's take it slow, alright?"
The Lapras wasn't all that amused to not be able to recruit this newbie herself. Well, it's not that she's any less newbie than this Brionne, but still.
It's at that time that Azur suddenly start humming, while floating on his back. He signed to Lacus to protect him while he's doing this. If the Brionne can be very honest, it wasn't the best performance. For human, that humming might be enough, but for a performing Pokemon like her, she admitted that it's subpar... But even so, why would this human keep singing?
"It was bad, isn't it?" Azur asked. The Brionne tried hard to deny it, but Azur merely laughed and waves his hand. "It's alright if it's bad, If you think it's bad, then you should say that it's bad. Well, maybe not to other people, but I'm aware that it's bad myself. But why did I keep singing, you ask? Well... Because it was fun."
It's fun? The Brionne doesn't really understand about what's so fun being looked at people, making silly of yourself! It's just odd! But even then, Azur smiled. "...You, you love performing and singing, right? Even if you're born talented, I haven't heard any Brionne or Popplio with such clear voice. Hell, you could trick me into believing that your song was on level of a natural Primarina. No, I didn't mean to just giving you empty compliments or lip service... You're truly that great. And no, I'm not going to get you just for your talent either... I... simply can't leave people, I guess."
Leave people? Her? Pokemon like her?
"Yeah, that's right, someone like you too. That's why when I saw someone not happy with what they're doing, I tend... to get meddlesome. In my case... well, I'm going to get you confident enough to do what you love even when there are people watching. Yeah, it's hard when there are people watching because then they will have opinions... and not everything would be praises... there will be bad stuffs mixed in too, but... even so..." Azur flipped himself over and now half of his body is above the small reef, just a little bit closer to the Brionne.
"...I want you to be proud of what you can do. Before you care about what everyone else have to say, before you care about whatever they want... you have to first love yourself. Ask yourself, to who are you performing for? If you're just performing for yourself, to have a blast, does it matter what people think? I know that talk is cheap, but that's why I'm going to recruit you, to show you how to have fun I guess!" Azur grinned. He offered the Brionne a Pamtre Berry... and on top of it, a Luxury Ball. "...Whether you want to come with me or not, it's up to you. But I'm looking forward to your answer favorably..."
Lacus cried at Azur, as if saying she'll stay behind to see what the Brionne wanted to do. Azur nodded at her and returned to Classie. "Sorry, did that took too long?I just happened to find someone that I might add to my team eventually. But anyway, let's go back to the rest of the team, Classie. Sorry about that."
But the moment he saw five shadows behind Ettie, that's when he know he fucked up. Azur cursed loudly and immediately ordered for Ice Shard to be used. The tension was so high that Azur pretty much just let the Pokemon go as fast as they can. He wondered if he could reach her in time to send any of his Pokemons... Gusios? Out. Tristan? Probably... Lacus is over there.. Llamrei is a bad choice... Kuuhaku? The Pokemon on his arm began to shapeshift into fellow Carvanha... no, perhaps it's more correct to say that it tried to copy one of Shalin's Pokemon, Dondon. Now it's a Tropius. Whether it could help Ettie in time or not, he have no idea... Befriend attempt! Pamtre Berry + Luxury Ball, GO!
As Shalin commented on the Rookidee being cute, Ettie couldn't help a nod of agreement; giggling. "Eheheh; he'll evolve into a big Corviknight, once he gets old enough!" She'd chirp with a wide smile, as she glanced in the rider's direction; adding "I really like how smart pokemon like them - and Honchkrow and Murkrow - are, too! They're able to solve puzzles and learn how to make and use tools faster than most non-psychic pokemon!" It seemed that she knew a decent bit about those clever corvid pokemon; did she love them almost as much as she loves canine pokemon?
In any case, it seemed that Ettie's other pokemon would soon come and swim by Prower, to greet the newborn bird! First Aurien and Cassie both would swim on either side of Prower, bwarking their greetings to the Rookidee. And Pierre, his fur sopping wet from his brief dive, would bark a greeting of his own to the hatchling as they passed by him! The Rookidee would make a few chirps in response to these greetings, but would - for the most part - be quiet; seemingly more focused on observing his surroundings than on socializing! It was rather interesting behavior; one that Ettie couldn't help but compare to Scathach, with how quiet and observant the little Toxel usually is.
Still though, the question of what to name him hung in the air - and she didn't quite have any ideas of a name for the little bird. At least, not quite yet. She was sure that she'd figure out something soon enough, though...!
That would have to wait until after the latest encounter, however. As Prower zipped along, it seemed that they might have accidentally disturbed another pokemon's territory; namely, the territory of a bunch of Carvanha! As the dark shadows appeared under the surface of the water and tailed after Ettie and Prower, the Rookidee - being the observant little bird that he was - would be among the first to notice it; letting out a sharp and shrill tweet of alarm, and pointing with his wing! The sound would make Ettie jump a bit, and she'd glance back over her shoulder at the shadows - just in time for one of the Carvanha to try and leap forward with a nasty looking Bite! Ettie, yelping in surprise, would hunker down - "Yeep...!" - attempting to brace herself, and duck under the arc of the fish's leap!
However, Aurien seemed to immediately be ready to protect his trainer; intercepting the piranha pokemon with a swift Aqua Jet! As seal and fish collided, both parties would be knocked back and away from each other, as they both submerged into the water once more; the school of Carvanha now beginning to turn their attentions to Aurien, who was briefly wincing from the scrapes he received from their Rough Skin. Cassie, nervous but not wanting to leave Aurien's side, would be quick to act as well - letting out a Disarming Voice, and causing the swarm of dark-types to flinch back from the fairy-type attack, startled!
As the Carvanha gained their wits though, they would begin to circle about the two Popplio instead; a couple of them fixating the two with a sharp Leer, while others began to use Focus Energy and pump themselves up! This didn't look good... Both Popplio would use Disarming Voice at once in response; the fish once more flinching away and one of them - a rather tiny one - even seeming to lose interest in fighting the two Popplio to swim away, and a large Serious-looking one wincing though attempting to stand his ground! However, the remaining fish were quick to retaliate with a flurry of Aqua Jets and Bites; the two Popplio trying their hardest to dodge, though still being struck by a couple of the attacks! Though the flurry of strikes briefly dazed them, the two seals would be quick to shake it off; ready to continue the fight they best they could.
It was seeming like this was going to be a tough fight for the two seals - and Ettie, keen on trying to even the odds for them, would act quick; making the decision to pull out a Net Ball to catch the largest of the Carvanha - believing it to be the leader of the swarm! Net Ball on the Huge Carvanha, go!

Thankfully, Alomomola were water Pokémon with good self-healing capabilities. As much as it pained Shalin to see a wild hurt by one of her Pokémon not directly battling it, it would be okay...eventually. As she watched the water-type float away, the blonde heard Azur curse loudly, Classie floating on the water's frozen surface via his Ice Shard attack. They were going really fast, too. Azur didn't seem like a thrill seeker at all. She looked up and saw why: Prower and Ettie were surrounded by Carvanha! A panicked-looking Mantyke was inside their large perimeter as well, able to get just enough speed to jump out of the water and glide over them to safety.
Shalin didn't want to switch over to Vannifar quite yet, but that was the fastest way to get to her. Not even Levy's Aqua Tail, as fast as it could propel him, could get him faster than the Tentacruel. Climbing over to the Tentacruel, she straddled the red orbs atop the water-type's head. Waving her many tentacles back and forth in sync with one another allowed for some of the smoothest acceleration Shalin's team had to offer. While the Tentacruel wasn't nearly as much of a thrill ride as the rest of her water-types, she was fast - nearly as fast as Prower.
Relying entirely on its air sac to keep afloat, Prower raised his tails above the surface and twirled them with such speed and power that his entire body started shaking - even harder than when the two had accelerated. She wondered how Ettie would hold up - though it wasn't nearly as intense as Flit's vibration, it would feel like it to someone not used to it. The buzzing tails created a Razor Wind across the water behind the two, intended to scatter the Carvanha away. "You alright?!" Shalin shouted, unsure if Ettie could hear her over the roaring wind.

Azur found soon that apparently the catch was successful. Lacus bringing him the Pokeball containing his new Pokemon. "Your name will be Aria. I would gave you better name if I could, but at the moment we're trying hard to rescue my little sister so hang in there." He paced the Lapras faster. For the meantime he really want to rescue Ettie. Should he ask if he could ask help from the Brionne?
"Aria, I'm sorry to work you this fast immediately, but I need you to help Ettie... Could you please sing?" yes, that was sudden, that was really sudden. But she's the only one that he know that could sing. Aria stayed silent within her ball, but seem to be contemplating on it. "Shake once if yes, shake twice if no." Azur told the Pokemon.

Eventually the ball shook vehemently. Looks like that's a no. "That's alright, don't worry... Lacus! Get this to Shalin, and sing to the bunch of Carvanha, you can do it!"
Lacus immediately took off, freezing the surface of the water, directly to Shalin. Her smaller size means she could be faster and without any passenger on top of her, she would reach Shalin quickly. she passed on Azur's Revive before swimming under Ettie and began singing. She made sure to not be near Prower, but close enough to other Carvanha. Now, she have to see how her sing goes.
p_
It didn't work! Drats! The Lapras came out to the surface to rejoin Azur, shaking her head. Gh... Azur quickly grabbed what looked like a leftover floating on the sea. It's a strange item that seem to be perpetually refreshing itself. How does that works, not even Azur knows, but even so... Gh, really, what should he even do at times like this?
"Kuuhaku, do you have any status effect inducing attack?" At first, Kuuhaku shook their head, but it's then that it noticed that going as Tropius probably a bad idea. They transformed into Lapras this time around and following Lacus' strategy, also began to sing! Come on, come on... Azur prayed hard to Arceus. He know that Ettie got some seals with her, but even then, Carvanha are not the kind of Pokemon that would retreat just because they're at disadvantage.

But even Kuuhaku shook their head... dammit.

With the Carvanha being caught, the remaining fish would now number at three - though it seemed that the Carvanha that Ettie had aimed for was not the leader of this school! Nonetheless, removing one of the largest of the group helped even the odds a little - and so did the weakest (yet second largest, interestingly enough) of the bunch fainting from Cassie's and Aurien's liberal use of Disarming Voice! And yet... Ettie couldn't help but make a concerned look, as she glanced over at the duo. The two Popplio were looking worn out and tired, from how long this fight was going for; how much longer could they fight for, like this...?
Thankfully, it wouldn't be for much longer - Azur's pokemon would come around, trying to Sing to the Carvanha to put them asleep! Sadly, it didn't seem to work - the remaining two Carvanha easily shaking the drowsiness off. However, it still seemed to distract them, as they turned to face Azur's pokemon - enough of a distraction for Cassie and Aurien to disengage and dive deeper into the water, so as to avoid the Razor Wind that Prower would soon kick up..!
Indeed, the vibrations were a bit uncomfortable for Ettie - but she'd hang on tight, glancing behind her as the waters churned from Prower's Razor Wind; sending the Carvanha below scattering every which way, dazed and battered by the currents that were throwing them every which way...! Using this to their advantage, Aurien led Cassie in once more striking at the two Carvanha with a couple of Disarming Voice's; finishing off the last two Carvanha, and sending the school packing!
Battered and bitten, it was clear that the two Popplio were tuckered out and exhausted; looking as though they had been saved in the nick of time by everyone's intervention. Yet when the waters began to calm, they'd still swim up to Ettie, gently bwarking, and fussily checking up on her! The young girl made a soft and sympathetic whine, as she scooped up both Popplios; snuggling them close and protectively. "You both did so good..." She'd murmur to them in praise; arranging both seals on her lap as she looked them over, to make sure they weren't too badly hurt. She would also glance down to Prower, reaching out a pat on the head. "You too; thank you, Prower..!"
A Blue Apricorn, meanwhile, would bob and drift by; and though none of the trio would notice this, Pierre would soon come back out of his pokeball. He'd pick up the Apricorn in his mouth, and swim alongside Prower as Ettie directed the Floatzel over by Classie and Azur - the young girl glancing up to him, and softly asking "Can you patch them up, please Azur...?" While they didn't have any serious injuries, it was clear they were a bit beaten up by the fight; Cassie softly whining in discomfort, even as Aurien - the more hurt of the two, it appeared - was trying to put on a tough act. Pierre the Furfrou - Level 8 - 5/5 Energy Aurien the Popplio - Level 11 > Level 14 - 5/5 Energy > 2/5 Energy Cassie the Popplio - Level 11 > Level 13 - 5/5 Energy > 3/5 Energy Adhara the Yamper - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy Sirius the Yamper - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy Unnamed the Rookidee - Level 1 - 5/5 Energy

With the combined effors from all of Azur's singing Pokémon, the two Popplio, and Prower's Razor Wind, they were able to save Ettie from the Carvanha attacking her. Vannifar floated between the two, easing up on her great speed to maintain pace with them. When offered a Revive, Shalin gratefully accepted it. "Thank you so much, Azur! I'll keep my eyes out for a place we can stop and use it."
Vannifar then floated over to where Ettie sat atop Prower, Levy floating behind at a distance. "You okay?" Shalin asked Ettie. "I tried to warn you ahead of time, but you probably couldn't hear me." She, likewise, slowly floated Prower to pat him gently on the head. A surprisingly strong tingling sensation ran up her arm as the Floatzel turned to smile at Vannifar and Shalin. "Whoa, it's still going..." The girl's facial expression turned sour. She knew it took a while for a Floatzel's tails to calm down after a Razor Wind, but not this long. She could only have imagined how it must have been while the attack was going, a wild Luvdisc still struggling against the waves her partner had created. "I didn't realize it was going to be that powerful...I'm sorry. That had to have been terrifying for you. I love that feeling 'cause I'm used to Flit, but for someone who had never..." She trailed off, unable to come up with the words she was looking for.
She pointed to a small, sand-covered islet to the east-southeast. "How about we rest for a little while over there? That way I can get Dondon back in the air and check on my Egg." She glanced toward Classie and Azur - the young man seemed to have kept her Egg very safe during the carnage.

Azur was glad that everything is over... but his performance just now wasn't as good frankly. Oh well... Classie managed to catch up with Ettie and Prower soon enough, and the blue haired youth checked up the girl that has been in his care for a while now. "You alright? I know the Pokemons are a bit wounded, but let me check on you first."
Nothing significant it seems. Azur wondered why on earth does Ettie have her arms covered with bandages too... with her neck he can guess that it's probably because trying to ward off cold or something , but on the arms...? Could there be scars there too? No matter though. Once he saw that the girl doesn't have any fresh wounds, he gently pat her.
"Sorry, Ettie... I think we need to get somewhere dry first. My medicines going to be washed up if I do it underwater like this... Lacus, I think you have Life Dew, could you heal those two for the meantime? Even emergency is alright."
Lacus let out a cry and swimmed closer to the two Popplios and gently touched her head with theirs. Tears formed on the corner of her eyes, and slowly dropped toward the two Popplio's wounds. It should heal them some for the meantime.
"Thank you, Lacus. We're heading to that pit stop over there! Gather all your wounded Pokemons, I'll heal them on the pit stop, got it?"
As for him, his Pokemons are all in full health. But he guess he can use this time for bonding time instead. Azur's party:

As Shalin rode up to Ettie, asking if she was okay, the young girl would nod in response. "I'm okay! Aurien and Cassie are hurt, though..." She'd murmur; glancing down to the two Popplios in her arms. They'd fought so hard, and she was proud of them for it - though right now, she was more concerned about them, than she was about herself..! It seemed the Rookidee, too, was concerned; peering down to them from his perch on Prower's head.
As Shalin apologized for just how intense the vibrations of the Floatzel were, though... Ettie shook her head, being quick to wave it off. "It's okay! It feels kinda weird, but I don't mind it." Ettie mentioned - although she, admittedly, was downplaying it a little. The vibrations felt really weird to her; it was something she was unused to, and she wasn't sure if it was something she'd get used to. But, that being said, she was still okay with it - she could tolerate and put up with the weird sensations for the time being.
Next though, would be Azur coming up to check up on her. As he asked if she was alright, and mentioned about checking up on her, she'd shake her head - though still allowed Azur to look her over. "I'm okay! I'm more worried about Aurien and Cassie, though..." She'd respond with a frown, her concern visibly apparent. If she was being honest, she'd rather Azur look them over first, not her; she wasn't the one who's been fighting, after all...! Not to mention the attention that briefly lingered on her bandages - which made her fidget a little uncomfortably, the urge to pull away welling up. When Azur soon finished looking her over, Ettie would be quick to put her jacket back on - seeing as she didn't need a makeshift sling anymore - and conceal the bandages once more.
Thankfully though, Cassie and Aurien wouldn't be without attention for much longer; Lacus coming over to the both of them, and healing them with Life Dew! While it wouldn't heal them completely, it seemed as though it was enough to perk them right up - both Popplio clapping their flippers in glee, and bwarking their thanks to Lacus! Ettie, too, would smile brightly up to the Lapras, reaching up to stroke her head. "Thank you, Lacus!" She'd chirp, visibly happy to see Aurien and Cassie both dive back into the waters, to swim alongside the group.
In fact... Soon Pierre, Aurien, and Cassie would all approach Ettie once more; the Furfrou having that Blue Apricorn from before, and Aurien and Cassie both having a couple oran berries! Ettie, giggling, would accept the objects - patting each of them on the head as she did - and pocket them, as they all made to move for dry land.

The three trainers and their many water-type Pokémon reached the small, sandy island, a lone Berry tree growing from its center. Shalin dismounted Vannifar and jogged up to the tree, sea water dripping from all over her. A trio of Clamperl opening their shells up and splashing her didn't help in that matter, either. "Darn, looks like we're too late," she sighed - the tree had already been picked clean by other travelers and their Pokémon. Once they were all ashore, she checked on her Egg - seemed to be intact, at the very least. She could have sworn it moved a little on Classie's back.
The only Pokémon of Shalin's that was hurt was Dondon the Tropius - a simple dose of Revive in combination with Azur's herbal medicine would spruce him right up, and he'd be ready for takeoff again! "Thanks again," the blonde said to Azur, grateful for the treatment. The big grass-type stretched his wings and let out an affectionate cry, gently nuzzling Azur. "Aww, he's grateful too!"
The smiling girl turned to Ettie, who seemed a bit shaken up by Prower's rumbling body during the escape from the swarming Carvanha. "Give Azur a moment and I'm sure he'll take good care of them," Shalin reassured her. "If you want, I can take him the rest of the way," she offered upon hearing how strange the rumbling sensation felt to her. "Though I am curious..." With Dondon in good hands, she made her way back to the island's edge, climbing back aboard the Floatzel who seemed proud of the thrill he gave Ettie. "Mind showing me your Razor Wind, too?"
Prower floated as close to the sandy surface as he felt comfortable doing, held tightly to a large rock over half-buried in the sand, lifted his tails out of the water, and let them fly. A vicious-sounding blade of air cut over the water behind the shaking Pokémon, creating a tremendous wake behind him. The tails sounding like a roaring watercraft, Shalin's hair stood on end from how powerful the vibration was - it was somewhere between Queen Zing's and Flit's strength at its peak. "Whoa!" she shouted, waiting to dismount after the Razor Wind had completely stopped. She approached Ettie wobbily. "You were right - that's crazy! Now I need a minute to sit down..." She let herself collapse into a sitting position, looking north toward Bass City as Prower laughed. Whether it was with or at his trainer, she would never know...

Now that the Pokemons are on the island, time to... well, time to work on whatever problems they have... But first, he called out the Pokemons from their Pokeballs. Whew! Tristan, Gusios, Aria, Lacus, Kuuhaku and Azura... that's everyone. Azur nodded approvingly and called Lacus and Azura to come closer. "I need your help a bit. Azura, please wash the wound with Water Gun gently. Aurien, please hold on alright? Lacus did closed a bit of the wound, but we need to get any sort of germ out, and that's why the washing..."
Once the bite wound already washed, Azur dried it up with sterilized towel. He got quite number of it apparently. He ordered Gusios and Tristan to look for firewood, and asked Kuuhaku to copy Zeit's form to use fire move, and start fire. Afterward, with a pot full of water, he boiled the content, then tossed the bloodied towel inside (of course after asking Azura to wash it too).
"For bite wound like this... I guess it will leave some scar... but they're not that deep thankfully. It will heal, but for the meantime I suggest please don't let them enter the water... for... thirty minutes."
Azur first put in some herbs, the usual one he used for wounds. "This one promotes faster healing, while this one something like anti-inflammation in case some swelling happened. Aurien got recoils from Water Jet too, so i think I'll give him some massage... but first, we have to patch this wound... I got this water-resistant bandages here. it prevents water from entering, I'm going to apply the paste alright, Aurien? Hold on because this might hurt a bit."
Azur gently slathered the medicine, then quickly applied the bandage to the wound. After securing it with a special made securing hooks, he gently rubbed the Popplio's back. "...Alright, the first phase is done... now to massage you like before... If I recalled it, you like the sensation huh? Wasn't too fond of the slap at the end, eh? Sorry about that. It's just a massage style..." Once the Popplio's massage session done, Azur smiled again and boop him on the nose with washed hand. "All done! You should be better soon!"
As for Cassie, he started by first cleaning her wounds from any blood (with Azura's help), and then like before, tossed the towel to the boiling water and applying the healing salve. "Cassie's less wounded, which is great... so she doesn't really need to be bandaged the same way as Aurien... Lacus, Life Dew," Azur ordered the Lapras, who was happy to oblige after she was given the OK to mix her Life Dew with the salve. Azur smiled at the Popplio. "You were brave, thank you very much, Cassie."
But the treatment isn't over obviously. He first scanned for any leftover wounds on the Popplio. For all he know, Cassie could just missed something. Some wounds can be painless and before you knew it it will cause various sort of problems. Once hes sure that nothing is wrong, Azur would gently massage her like the way he massaged the Popplio. Impact probably would be bad, so he made circular motions with his salve slathered hands at the point of impact. It might be a bit warm, a strange sensation that felt like warm ray of sunlight hitting on your skin, but even then it wasn't all that bad.
"Right, I wonder what sort of massage style do you like? Everyone have their own taste of what they would like massage wise... So if you got any likes on what sort of massage you want me to apply, don't be shy to ask, alright?"
Once that's done, Azur returned Cassie to Ettie, smiling. "There you go, your pupper all patched up."
But not before gently whispering "you can tell me about those anytime. I won't press you for answer. I'm just worried. Sorry if it unnerves you." b1ikP380 for Medic Boost

Now, his job isn't over yet. There's Dondon to heal. After the revive takes effect, Azur nodded. "Alright, looks like the problem with this one is more to cuts from the Mantine, eh?"
Wing Attack from the look of it. When it comes to the Grass Type, different kind of healing method must be used. In this case, he applied some gel first. It's similar to aloe vera, only with built in antiseptic inside. After that... Azur took out some powders from his bag. They're stored inside clear plastic tubes with label on them. He also took out what looked like a spray bottle. "This going to be weird, and I'm sorry if these are weird, but it's the way to heal, and it's already tested. It's more effective this way...."
Oh right, he also took out what looked like a digital scale. It's water resistant thankfully. First, he scooped in some powder, colored blue, then another colored green. Afterward he poured it inside the bottle, pour a bit of a honey and a bit of those gel... Mix it up with some distilled water and... he shake the content. Once he's done, Azur patted the gel clean from Dondon, and sprayed the content, generously.
"Grass Types are easy to recover, but at the same time these are basically nutrients that hasten their recovery... Please do not give them fertilizer or spray them to their wound. Fertilizer burns their tissue. That's why these safe nutrients that can be absorbed by their tissues are made."
And one more. Azur took out a ball of what looked like food pill. "Open up, Dondon. Just eat this and you'll be fine."
What is that food ball? It's just another set of nutrients that promotes quicker healing. Just healing them on the surface is not enough after all. And as a plus, if Dondon's wings are torn or anything similar, Azur would also patch that with tissue glue.
"Yeah, looks like it's all done over here! Thank you very much for stomaching all of that, Dondon! Admittedly this was like one of very few case of me healing grass type Pokemons, but I'm glad that I still have some healing items for Grass Pokemons... They're different than most and need a little bit of healing by a lot of different solutions. Fish Pokemons are similar, because you need to make sure they stayed wet while you treat them... But compared to fishes, Grass types are much easier..."
Dondon looks very appreciative. Azur was happy. "Yes, yes, I heard you. You're welcome!"
...Little that they know... someone is approaching... very fast.
When Azur was ready to raise up, Lacus let out a cry of distress--and that's when he saw a really huge Lapras followed by two smaller Laprases! He blinked, absolutely flabbergasted at the sight of this family... Oh dear... what should he do? They looked angry too, and he doesn't think that he can pacify them at all. It's at this time that Tristan cried out at him, gesturing something...
"...Huh? You're saying they're Lacus' family? Something like mother and two sisters? But... Lacus is with us at the moment and she came with us willingly..."
But looks like even in Pokemon world, there are also overbearing parents... The moment the Pokemon's eyes landed on Azur, the challenge was already issued. Eeeeh drats. Lacus immediately scrambled back to her feet, trying to protect her trainer from the brunt of slander that only Pokemons could understand (he expected it to be slander because Tristan was flaring, and Gusios' eyes squinting. Tristan doesn't like his trainer being slandered after the bonding that they get when they were in the training ground...
"Tristan, it's alright, hold your horses. Gusios too."
The Laprases looked strong. Lacus does not seem to want to budge...
"...Aria, these Lapras most likely cannot be reasoned with... Can you... can you help us in pacifying them?"
The Brionne, despite Azur's soft call, flinched when her name was called out. Would she help?

Unfortunately not even at this time... Azur nodded at the Brionne. "It's alright, I'll definitely think way to get out out of this one..."
That one Lapras looked weak, but it probably have some sort of power... In that case...
"Kuuhaku, take Dondon's form and fight the one on the left. Tristan, Gusios... Gusios especially, you're weak to ice, but take the right one. you can do it. Lacus... I'm sorry."
Lacus shook her head, as if saying 'they needed to be convinced physically anyway'..
The fight began. Kuuhaku in form of Dondon the Tropius immediately took the sky. They immediately started with a strong Leaf Tornado. The moves have chance to lower down Accuracy... and as it stands at the moment...
p_
It does indeed lower down the accuracy of the Lapras, who tried to use Water Pulse at Kuuhaku, but missed. The one on the side of Gusios and Tristan was much more stronger. She used Ice Shards at the Bagon. Seeing this, Tristan pulled his clutchmate's hand to help him dodge, and countered with Confusion. It only have ten percent chance of making the opponent confused, which is very thin, but even then it was enough for Tristan. Gusios meanwhile attacked with Ember.
p_
Almost! But no dice! Meanwhile, just now Kuuhaku was shot down from the sky with Water Pulse, sending them crashing downward. But not before their Leaf Storm hits and knocked out the first Lapras. Gusios and Tristan meanwhile kept their teamwork, with Tristan pulling Gusios, and letting him use Ember while Tristan used Confusion. Before long, with some glancing blows here and there (That hurts as much as full attack due to their difference in level), Tristan and Gusios managed to take down the second Lapras.
