[Sylvia Lane]

Sylvia arrived at the much talked about pier wearing an excited smile. Since hearing about these missions, she had been keeping her eye out for anything that seemed interesting. She was more or less willing to take on pretty much anything (with some boundaries, of course), but when this particular mission popped up, she snatched it right up. A mission by a pier, beside the water, to be even more precise, was perfect for her. And apparently she wasn’t going solo on this mission. Along with her Pokemon, another student had volunteered themselves. The thought of meeting someone new was a lovely bonus for sure.

Garbed in a pair of jean shorts and a black tank top for easier movement, Sylvia was ready. She stepped onto the pier and hummed curiously when it creaked under her feet. For a moment, she could’ve sworn the pier itself had even buckled a little. Well, the notice had said that the pier was damaged – she supposed it was only natural for it to groan a little bit. A little sliver of fear did sink in, though. Hopefully it wouldn’t give way under their feet.

“Actually…” Sylvia let out a nervous laugh while tip-toeing off of the pier, instead opting to stand on the side. “It may be wise to not walk on the severely damaged, pier.” From where she stood, the supporting beams beneath the structure were easier to see as well. It was truly a win-win situation.

[Zoey May]

Missions? Like doing stuff around the island for the staff and other people? Strange, you would think if they actually wanted it done they would have someone with actual capabilities do it. But whatever if anyone was going to pay her money for simply getting some pokémon to move she would do it. Even if she didn't knew what was brewing bellow the pier.

Zoey heard she wasn't going to do this alone. Maybe she should have caught a water pokémon beforehand so she would have a means to fight them on their own terrain. That Luvdisc from earlier could really have helped her out here. If they were attacking from under the pier they probably would be water pokémon. No matter, she was certain that between her own pokémon and the other person's pokémon thew would be able to solve this matter. 

When Zoey arrived at the pier she could see a wave dorm student standing close to the pier, almost on it. Maybe she should go warn her that it was dangerous, but she was obvious the other person she was teaming up with.

"So you are the other student signed up for the pier job? Nice to meet you! I Zoey, Zoey May! Who are you?" She actively said to the other student Once she got near.

As the two of you stand to the side of the pier, you can see its impressive length stretching out into the water. Above the pier, you see the many attractions that the party pier houses, such as arcades, roller coasters, and even a ferris wheel. Of course, the underneath of the pier is not so cheery. Given its size, everything beneath the pier is shrouded in darkness. And your job? To go in there and clear out the wildlife, if only temporarily. with that in mind, you head down underneath.

The sand is littered with a few bits of garbage, seaweed, and broken shells. Off to the side, you can see the water's edge as waves pull in and out. As you look around, you manage to spot some potential targets. Even if the pier is big, there luckily isn't too much ground to cover.

[Sylvia Lane]

Sylvia had been in the midst of staring at the area beneath the pier, her green eyes squinted. It was pretty dark under there, but she could make out some movement occasionally - their targets, presumably. When she heard the sudden greeting, she turned to look at the source with a faintly startled expression. The look was swiftly wiped away when she realized that the culprit was another student and was replaced with a smile, "Oh hello. I'm Sylvia Lane. It's a pleasure to meet you as well."

Sylvia turned her eyes from Zoey and moved them back to the pier, "I'm guessing that we'll be working together then, Zoey. Shall we get started?" she flashed another, brighter smile at Zoey before carefully starting to trudge down the slope leading to the underside of the pier. A bit of slipping and sliding later, she was standing on the shore, right in front of the dark expanse that was their target location. She made careful steps into the darkness. Seashells cracked beneath her feet, and her toes kicked a bit of trash here and there as she walked along. The scent of damp trash and seaweed permeated the air thickly. In short, it was a pretty unpleasant place.

Regardless, Sylvia continued, glancing around for any Pokemon. It didn't take long for her to lay her eyes on one. Near one of the pier's supporting beams, a Pokemon was sitting, hunched over with what looked to be a magazine in its grasp. Its eyes were glued to the pages while it held it in front of its face, turning it around and emitting curious sounds. Sylvia recognized this little guy - a Croagunk, she believed. "I'll get this one," she called over her shoulder in a low whisper to Zoey before turning back to her target. She discreetly slipped her Pokedex from her bag and ran over is entry. A Poison-Fighting type. So obviously, she'll need...

Sylvia sighed, then laughed a little to herself. She wanted to get the jump on him, but she scrapped the idea as she released her first Pokemon. Finny emerged from the Pokeball and, as she predicted, let out a joyous 'Noi!' without a moment of hesitation. The Croagunk, startled, let the magazine slip from his hands and whirled around. Before he could get his guard up, Sylvia pointed and issued her first command, "Use Screech, Finny!" The Noibat promptly opened his mouth and let out a piercing cry that broke through the air and echoed off of the pier's beams. The Croagunk winced and put its hands over what Sylvia assumed to be his ears. A moment later, though, the frog Pokemon recovered just enough to open his own mouth to shoot a ball of disgusting looking sludge at the Noibat. Sylvia ordered Finny to dodge and Finny flapped out of harms way, his wing just barely missing the sludge bomb.

"Alright, let's try Air Cutter," Sylvia called out. The little guy's bearings should be shaken by that screech, so she figured this should do it. Finny brought his wings back as far as he could, and swiftly brought them together in front of him,  sending razar sharp wisps of air in the Croagunk's direction. They landed true, smack dab in the center of the Pokemon's retreating back, and the Croagunk toppled over. Sylvia waited a moment or two to see if he was going to get up, then relaxed with a sigh. "One down," she sighed, then reached up to pat Finny who had taken to perching on her head.
