19th roar [ video + action for Olivine ]
[ The feed opens on Olivine beach. Judging from the bobbing, it's being held by a pokémon, one that doesn't have arms to stabilize it. A metal grating sound—Skarmory, then.
The camera flicks up suddenly, sliding across a long stretch of sand to...Leon. Leon surrounded on all sides by his team. Lucky behind him, her head in his back. Strike and Scizor in front, pulling him by the arms. In the water, Flood waits, making soft mournful noises, tentacles reaching for his trainer. Leon, for his part, has both feet planted firmly in the sand and is not moving.
Not.
Moving.
An inch.
They push, they pull, he doesn't budge. His expression is one of rock-solid concentration. He tries to shake them off, but they're stronger than he is, and he goes back to putting his energy into doing his statue imitation.
It looks for all the world like they're trying to feed him to his own Tentacruel.
Skarmory chirrs in amusement, then quickly drops the 'gear to go join the fun. ]

[She unhooks Pokeballs from her belt.]
Daisy, Return! Come on out, Mickey, Cleo!
[Daisy the Magmar gives you a 'good luck, buddy' look before returning to her Pokeball. Out come an Azumarril and a Remoraid, the latter of which instantly goes in the water.]
action
I'm--really not dressed for it. [ ...well, he'd be right on that, at least. A t-shirt and sweats isn't the best swimming gear. ]
action
[which she does right now.]
And then your pants, and then you're all set.
[... this is going to get worse before it gets better.]

No.

Don't you know only Light can take off his pants--I mean.]action

No!

[a defeated sigh, some wibbling...]
... Let's go buy you a swimsuit!
action
Actually that should be okay! Right? ]
...all right?
action
[she then addresses his Pokemon.]
I promise, once we get the right swimsuit, we'll start swimming lessons. Soon he'll be a natural, and play with you every day!
action
We'll see about that.
