Robert spots the raven haired woman standing with her Meowth and a funny looking Psyduck holding a two sandwhiches in his tiny claws. He runs over to her in his black shirt and blue and red trunks with pink Slowpokes on them, "Hi Maria!" He glances at her from top to bottom, checking out her revealing new attire. "Mmmm..." Mithril-rama walks over next to Robert wearing a yellow dress and hugging her blue purse closely, "Hello, Maria..." Robert is quick to nudge his good friend, "Hey, Rilli, why don't you wear nicer swimsuits like Maria's?" Maria feels uncomfortable when she notices that Robert is looking at her. She wishes she hadn't left her trench coat on the sands. "Well, if that's a compliment... thanks, I guess..." James the Psyduck tilts his head up to her, "Psy...duck?" Robert looks down at the Psyduck and clenches his fist, "Rrrrgh! I don't like Psyducks! They're impossible to catch since they faint before you can even send out a Pokemon to weaken them! How were you ever able to get one?" Maria shrugs and bends down to rub James' head, "He just started following me around. Isn't that right, James?" "Psy...duck." James finishes his last sandwhich and waddles away in search of more food.... Robert stretches and casts a gaze upon the sea, "I think I'll take a quick dip in the sea before dinner is served!" He crosses his arms and grabs the ends of his black shirt. He slowly peels it off, revealing his awkward bare chest. "Ahhh, fresh air!" He tosses the black shirt on a wooden table. "Come on, Rilli! Let's get wet!" Mithril-rama looks doubtful, "Well... maybe in a little." She sits down at the table where Robert dropped his shirt. As Robert runs away, Maria shouts out to him, "Wait!!! Aren't you going to take off that belt first? If you take the Pokeballs into the salty sea water, they might malfunction! Wouldn't want that, would you?" Robert scratches his chin, "Hmm, never happened before... but better safe than sorry!" He grabs his first, fourth, and fifth Pokeball, and releases Haunter, Farfetch'd, and Slowbro so that they can roam free. "I don't think Graveler or Charmeleon would like to take a bath... and I just don't trust Pikachu to behave herself inside the water! Here, Rilli, take care of my belt!" He gently tosses his belt to Mithril-rama, who manages to catch it! Mithril-rama chuckles, "Yeah, and I think I'll send my Haunter to keep your Haunter company!" Robert's Haunter stiffens up strangely and floats up close to Mithril-rama. He nods vigorously, "HAUNTER!" Robert laughs out loud, "I think Haunter rather have some fun with your Haunter than go in the sea! If I remember correctly, I think that he's been afraid of water ever since that Gym battle in Cerulean City!" Robert looks up at Haunter who blushes and sticks out his tongue. Robert looks down at Farfetch'd and Slowbro, "Okay, guys, let's go!" "Farf? Far...fetch'd?" The wild duck shakes his head, "Farfetch'd, Far!" "You don't want to go?" Robert looks down at Farfetch'd, "Why not?" Farfetch'd points over to Maria's Psyduck with the branch in his beak. "Farfetch'd!" Robert then sweatdrops, "Uhh, Farfetch'd, that Psyduck's male!" Farfetch'd glowers, then flaps his wings at Robert and runs over to James. Everyone turns their attention to the Farfetch'd. "Psy...duck." James stares at Robert's Farfetch'd with a confused look in his eye. Farfetch'd laughs and uses his twig to impale one of James' party sandwhiches. "Farfetch'd!" The snack slides down the sprig and Farfetch'd eats it! Robert stares at Farfetch'd who continues eating, looks at Haunter who is still stiff, then looks down at standing Slowbro, "Looks like we're the only ones who want to take a bath!" Slowbro stands about as tall as Maria, with his jaw hanging open, "Slow.... Bro..." Robert grabs Slowbro's hand and leads him into the water. "Ahhh, the water's just right! The sun must've been heating it all day long!" As Slowbro is lead in, he agrees by sighing out, "Ahhhhh, Slowbro... Slow!" Mithril-rama is sitting at the wooden table, still clenching her purse full of six Pokeballs among other things and Robert's belt, where three occupied Pokeballs hang. She tugs at the little string on her yellow dress. "Hmm, maybe I should join Robert... but then who would take care of the Pokemon?" Maria sits down at the wooden table next to Mithril-rama. Slasher hops on top of the table and licks his lips upon seeing the belt with three Pokeballs. "Meowww..." Maria runs her hand down his back to keep him from getting too excited about the operation. She looks over at Mithril-rama, "Yeah, you should go take a bath with Robert! Look at him out there, all alone with his Slowbro. Don't worry about your Pokemon, I'll... take care of them." She chuckles lightly. Mithril-rama wonders whether she should trust the new acquaintance. Besides, she still wasn't too sure about showing off her two piece swimsuit. "Well..." Maria's eyes brighten up, "Yeah...?" -Robert (I think Nendil should be the one to write Rilli taking off her little yellow dress!)
