[ROUTE] 218 - Fishing

MARISOL

Marisol saw Sage coming and welcomed him by patting the floor beside her. "Mornin' Sage." She replied to his greeting. She giggled as he tried to fish, but she wasn't one to tell others how to do it, and let them find their own way. But she was there to help if he needed her to. "So, Mr. Sage, tell me about Sinnoh, why did they lock it down."

"Oh..." Marisol said in contemplative thought. Was his eye patch related to this story? He spoke highly of the school so it sounded like a place he had been to or at least heard enough about. She tried to think of how to turn the conversation around when a purple mass caught her eye. On the corner of the water-let was some sewage being dumped into he nearby waters. Marisol's face when red with rage. She stood up and at this point she could see a large group of Muk and Grimer taunting a trapped Horsea in the polluted water.

"I will NOT be having this..." Marisol marched over with a fierce determination in her eyes. She clutched her pokeball, Goldeen already out followed behind her hopping on the grass. "LEAVE IT ALONE!" Marisol pointed out at the Muk and Grimer who simply turned and started to slowly roll towards her. She looked back in a panic. "UH... SAGE... HELP!!"

Marisol flinched as specks of mud flicked across her body ad Mud Bomb impacted the Muk and Grimer. She backed up and her foot slid across the dirt, she narrowly got her footing right but was on edge after almost falling. "Thanks Sage, but they're still coming and Horsea is all gunked up!" Marisol flicked her arm out towards her Goldeen. "Confuse them, Supersonic!" Goldeen splashed out the water, flipping itself into the air. It started to sing a high pitched note to rang out in a high pitched deafening tune. The Supersonic rang out towards the Muk and Grimer, confusing all that it hit.

Horsea desperately splashed in the murky water it had became trapped in by the Muk and Grimer.

Marisol moved in a position so that she had Horsea in her sights, so she knew it was safe. She called out to Goldeen. "Lets use Water pulse!" The goldeen jumped into the water and dived down, springing out the water moments later, echoing a tune. The tune formed into a ring of water that was thrown at the Muk and Grimer, slamming into them and forcing them back against the shoreline.

Marisol looked over to the Horsea who was still distressed, She dove in the water, even though she was wildly ill-equip to. She swam over to it and grabbed onto it. "I've got you, you're safe!" The poor Pokemon had muck and slime covering it's body.

Marisol watched in awe as the small Shellos erupted with a bright light into the grown up Gastrodon. She swam to the shore with the scared Horsea. Clapping for Sage. "Wicked! Your pokemon evolved!" After she had congradulated Sage, she sat on the shore and picked up small cupped hands of water to bathe the Horsea with, as it was covered in muck still.

Seeing the culprits on the floor, Marisol sternly turned to them. "And don't you do it again!!" She continued to wash the Horsea until it was clean and smiling at her, rubbing up affectionately agaist her legs that were dangling in the water.

Marisol looked down to the Horsea. "Is that what you want, do you want me to catch you." The small pokemon stopped in thought for a second then nodded in return. Marisol smiled, she could add to her team... then her face fell. " I have no Idea how to catch pokemon, can you teach me?" She looked to sage with curiosity on her face.
