The Tides Are Coming [Amy]

[Leo Lockward]

LEO XANDER LOCKWARD With the recent events that had unfolded, Leo decided that it would be a good idea to return home to his family; to try and navigate where he was mentally. Upon approaching his family home, the dark haired teen froze in his tracks. He couldn't face his parents just now. How could he? He had made a monumental mistake, caused pain to someone who was truly wonderful. He didn't deserve the sympathy of his family. Sighing slightly, he turned around and made his way towards the beach. Perhaps the sea would be able to provide some clarity to his thoughts, and give him some peace, even if only temporarily. Ember walked alongside her trainer, sensing his sadness she didn't want to leave his side. Although not entirely sure what had caused such upset in the human as she had been at the daycare in the zoo with Akira's trio of Vulpix on that fateful day. Arriving at the beach, Leo found a place far away from the groups of families enjoying their time together, building sandcastles and bathing in the sun that was beating down upon them. He perched himself down on the soft sand, bringing his knees to his chest and simply staring out to the sea, listening to the waves rushing in to shore and back out once again. Ember softly nudged the teen with her head trying to get her trainers attention. Leo shifted his sad gaze to the Vulpix and softly ruffled the fur on her head. "Thanks sweetie. Don't worry about me, I just need some time to think" he spoke softly offering an attempt at a smile. Pulling out two pokeballs, Leo summoned forth the new arrivals to his team, Chespy the excitable Chespin and Freya, the mature Ponyta who had helped Leo keep tabs on the other two since she joined the group. "Freya, why don't you take these two and have a little fun?" he spoke, in an almost commanding tone. The equine pokemon looked to her trainer for a moment also sensing something bothering him, however soon gave a nod of acknowledgement before nudging Ember and Chespy away from the teen to allow time for him to sit with his thoughts. Guilt, would play a large role in his thoughts currently. He had made life extremely difficult for Akira. The man who had very quickly, no, TOO quickly become very special to him. Yes, he knew the fault didn't lie entirely with him, but the teen couldn't help but feel like he pushed the matter too far. "Well Lockward. You've really screwed up this time." he muttered to himself, placing his head to his knees to look at the ground. WORDS 447 || TAGS Amaryllis Devereux APP || PC || PLOTTER

She hadn’t been to the beach in the longest time, but the summer weather was a bit unbearable like the last time summer had gotten around to Shula. Spring, fall, and the winter seasons were a lot more bearable to be in than being in the summer heat. There were several couples and some families on the beach sands enjoying the ocean water in their swimsuits. Pokemon were running across the sand and while Amy isn’t a lifeguard, she’s there to make sure there’s no crime happening. Beside the officer, Rannoch the Absol and Miles the Rowlet accompany the white-haired woman in helping her with patrolling. Among the people here, the officer and her two Pokemon find a young man with his own Pokemon playing near the shoreline. This young man probably appeared to be lost in thought, but she would greet him too with a wave. “Good day, are you doing alright?” Heat from the sun would make her wipe some sweat off her forehead. “I’m still not used much to summer weather for a while.”

Leo sighed as he observed Ember and Chespy jumping around in the sand and chasing each other, Freya was stood to the side keeping a watchful gaze over the two smaller pokemon to ensure they didn't get themselves into any trouble. The teen began to lose himself in the guilt he was feeling once more before he was snapped back to reality by the sound of a woman's greeting. His blue eyes looked around to see who the voice Was addressing before realising he was the only person within the vicinity. "Oh.. Erm...Hi." he stuttered looking to the woman before him. "I'm okay. Just.... Clearing my head I guess" he muttered gloomily before attempting to offer a half hearted smile. He observed the woman wiping the sweat from her forehead. "It sure is hot..." he nodded in agreement before taking a deep breath. "What brings you down here? A day out with your friends there?" the teen quizzed, pointy meekly to the Absol and Rowlett beside her. "They're sweet!". Leo took a moment to wipe a bead of sweat running down his own forehead before looking toward his own pokemon. "I was hoping being back home would help put things into perspective..." he being to mumble to the woman before stopping himself. "Sorry, you didn't come here to hear my life story!" the teen sighed. "My name's Leo. Nice to meet you...?" he introduced himself, with an element of enquiry as to who she was.

A greeting came from the other trainer and he’d agree that the summer month was real hot. Her fire type Pokemon appeared to like hot summers since they resisted the heat and were okay to go around with her in patrols around the city. “I do like the winter months, they’re much cooler for me.” Amy nods when Leo compliments her Pokemon being sweet. “And thank you, my Pokemon are happy to be out here with me when they’re working or when I’m on my day off.” The young man introduces himself as Leo and he talks about his reason for being at the beach. “It’s very nice to meet you, Leo. My name is Amy since most of my friends call me by that and my actual name is a little long.” She gives her name out to the young man and introduces her Pokemon, the Absol and Rowlet, next. “These are my two Pokemon, Rannoch and Miles.”

The teen couldn't help but flash a half hearted smile towards the stranger as she told him of her preference to the winter months. He paused for a moment before chuckling slightly "I guess, I am more fussy than that. Winter is too cold... Summer is too hot. It needs to be just right for me!" he came to explain his own preference. His eyes shifted to the woman's pokemon as she told him the pokemon were happy just being out and about. The teen nodded softly, that much was clear just by looking at them. " They certainly do seem to be enjoying themselves!" he spoke softly, before briefly shifting his gaze to his own pokemon who were still playing around in the sand. Well, Ember and Chespy anyway, Freya was keeping her distance from the water. Leo's attention was brought back to the female who had introduced herself as Amy and her two pokemon Rannoch and Miles. Offering a faint smile, the teen held his hand out for the other to shake. "It's a pleasure to meet you Amy." he responded, desperately trying to sound slightly less sad so as not to scare the woman off. He turned his head towards his own pokemon. "My little family of Pokemon are over there." he pointed across towards Ember and Chespy. "That's Ember, and the little Chespin is Chespy. Original I know!" he introduced the two before laughing at his own sarcasm. "And the Ponyta hiding over there is Freya. She's like my second pair of eyes over those two!" he explained.

She understood that some people wanted the weather to be just right for them than to pick any other season. “I think it does make sense that you would think it has to be right for you.” Both the seasons of summer and winter had its pros and cons though maybe spring and fall were the better ones to be in. The officer’s Rowlet offers a little game of tag to the male Absol as he’ll chase the small owl Pokemon around in the beach sand. Leo gives his family of Pokemon’s names and she’ll look over to see them. All of them looked so cute, the officer remembers that one of them, a Vulpix, looked a bit similar to her own too. “Your family of Pokemon are so adorable together.” A nicer comment came from the officer. “I have a Vulpix that’s just like Ember, she’s a bit like her mother.”

Leo chuckled as the woman agreed with his sentiments regarding it needing to be just right. "Some may say I'm fussy... But what can ya do?" taking a sigh he shifted his gaze to observe the Absol and Rowlet begin a game of tag. "Ah to be able to play so care free." It was comforting to know that others felt his pokemon were adorable. He smiled half heartedly for a moment "Well I guess I'm biased but it's nice to know I'm not the only one!". Feeling the sea breeze against his face, Leo took a deep breath in. He must have seemed like a sulky little brat in that moment, especially to this stranger. He tried to shake off the negative emotions for a moment. " So, what brings you to these sandy shores Amy?"
