It was time take a load off for a change. Shane decided it was time to take a break from his extensive training. His pokemon could definitely use some rest and relaxation, especially after the boy's third gym battle. This leisurely day out was well-deserved indeed as a means of treating and rewarding the friends that have helped him through this perilous journey.

And so it was time to hit the beach! Sporting a sleeveless shirt, swimming trunks and sandals, Shand rushed out onto the white sands along with Mickey, Falco, and a newly evolved Drake. As the electric mouse and high-flying bird went off to do their own thing in the sand, Drake on the other hand immediately slithered out into the crystal clear water.

The boy could remember the day as if it was yesterday - the day he had met that majestic dragon pokemon. Mickey had attacked him, thinking the blue dragon was attacking Shane. That was all water under the bridge now. And speaking of water, Drake was clearly enjoying it.

Perhaps he could use a swimming partner...

{lapras!?!? teddiursa with pickup, durant with hustle, and lileep with suction cups are likely buried in the sand somewhere...}

Drake had been gone underneath the surface for several minutes now. The young trainer could only look on with a rather worrisome expression on his mug. Mickey and Falco also peered out into the open waters silently, hoping for the safety of their draconian friend. Shane knew he loved the water, but he didn't think he enjoyed this much. "Drake!? Where are you buddy!?" the boy from Kanto called out.

At that moment, the limbless dragon pokemon emerged from beneath the water. But he wasn't alone. Another aquatic pokemon arose from the deep beside him. "Well I'll be a baby in a Kangaskhan's pouch...who's that pokemon!?" Let's find out, shall we? Cue the PokeDex! "Larpas, the Transport Pokémon. Lapras enjoys carrying people on its back, and it understands what people are saying."

"Amazing!" Indeed it was. The other pokefriends were also mesmerized by the appearance of this stunning aquatic creature. It seemed to have taken a liking to Drake and followed suit of him here at the shore. It even went as far as offering a ride to Shane. "Well, I guess I won't have to worry about getting soaked every time I head out to the island anymore."

Never again would he have to hang his clothes out to dry after a day out surfing...
