Surf Training Quest
"Ok girl, let's see what you can do. You were made for this!" Marley said with a smile, as he looked at the Lapras before him, sitting on the edge of the large pool of water in the training grounds. With a water pokemon like this, Marley had something he could ride to take him across the water. Sure, he could try swimming, but riding on the back of a relaxing lapras was certainly better, right? And the large lapras before him would certainly make a good mount.
"Ok, now sit right there, while I climb up, ok?" Marley said. The Lapras nodded, shifting her body so she parallel with the shore line. "Ok, now try to keep steady, ok?" Marley said softly, moving to try and climb onto the Lapras' shell. Melony shifted, trying to keep herself balanced. She wasn't used to someone riding on her back yet, so the shifting weight took some getting used to. Thankfully there were plenty of protrusions for Marley to hang onto, as he shifted his body to try and set himself firmly on her back. "There we go." He was sure for now she can keep her balance. "How's that girl?" Melony let out a small and a small call of happiness.

Marley chuckled. "Atta girl, just like I thought. Ok, now, let's try doing a couple of laps around the water, ok? Try to keep yerself steady, and stay above the water, ok?" After all, it wouldn't work if she dived under the surface right away. Melony tried to look back over at him, nodding in understanding. She slowly started to make her way around the pool, trying to keep her balance with each movement of her fins. Marley didn't realize how tightly he was gripping the lapras' shell, each shift in her body causing him to grip tighter. He had faith in his pokemon, sure, but at the same time, this was her first time travelling with someone on her back. He just needed to keep telling himself that she would get used to it.
The lapras continued to make some slow, gentle laps around the pool, trying to keep herself steady, and get herself used to the weight of someone on her back, particularly the man who had saved her. It was a couple of minutes later that Marley found himself beginning to relax. "Good girl. Just like that."

She certainly was picking up on this quickly. Melony let out a bright smile as she moved back to the shoreline, allowing Marley to climb off of her. She had an easier time keeping her balance as well. Marley gave her a warm smile. "Atta girl Melony. I think ya got this." Melony let out a happy smile, nuzzling her face against Marley's hand. It seemed she was a quick study, which was perfect for someone like Marley.
