[Naveta Lejori]

The sun set a few hours ago, and the area was quite dark.  The only light was a bit of light pollution from Mavro city, and a bit of light from the moon.  It was dark enough that all the beach goers had long since left the beach, but light enough that someone as used to walking around in the dark wouldn't have that much trouble seeing.  This was the perfect time to take a look around Harmonia Island.  It felt odd that she was a professional researcher with a side job at this point as opposed to the other way around.  Since she could focus on this instead of all this bullshit about who to watch, who to work for, who to avoid and whatever these idiots wanted to know, maybe she could actually make some progress.  Harmonia Island was a good place to be as well.  It was basically Frankenstein's island, in the sense that it looked more like stitched together masses of land as opposed to a more cohesive island.  She had no idea how this was even possible, so it would be interesting to piece all that together.

First, she needed to take a look around the place to get familiar with what was there.  From there, she could decide which areas needed further examination.  The beach was the closest to the city, so it seemed reasonable to start there.  A beach could tell you a lot about the surrounding climate at least.  People claimed this was a volcanic island, though given there were three separate mountains here, she wasn't so sure.  The beach suggested that if it was volcanic, nothing had happened in quite some time.  The sand was white, so there were no signs of any volcanic minerals in the sand.  It was likely that all of it came from the sea, from shells coral and maybe even a bit of quartz.  She wouldn't expect quartz in a climate like this though, so she suspected it was mostly dead marine animals and coral.  Everything else suggested relatively calm weather and waves.

After just a few minutes of walking, she removed her shoes and rolled up her pants.  It was annoying to try to walk through sand in combat boots like this, and the water and sand felt good on her feet.  She collected a few small bottles of sand in a few places to take back with her, but that was the extent of the study she intended to do tonight.  This was meant to just be a first look, not a full blown research run after all.

[Naveta Lejori]

A raindrop hit Naveta's nose as she walked.  At first she didn't think of it because it could have easily been some mist from the ocean, but then she felt another drop on her face, then another and soon there was an outright downpour.  She was certain it was clear when she left, and she didn't see any signs of rain as she made her way here.  Either this island was even freakier than she thought or someone, or something, was causing some shenanigans.

Her eyes darted towards the ocean, and sure enough, there was a grumpy looking pokemon dancing in the water.  Her expression flattened.  Some asshole pokemon making here soaked was not really something she needed right now.  At least she had access to a dryer now.  With a sigh, she brought her Misdraevus out.  Having more pokemon was never a bad thing, so if Origin was going to be nice and provide her with some free pokeballs, she might as well use them.  At best, it might have some useful abilities, and at worst she could always sell it or trade it for something.  A quick scan of the thing with her Pokedex revealed that this would be pretty easy, which was nice because she wasn't much of a fan of fighting pokemon to begin with.

"Arkose, Shadow Ball."

Naveta sounded almost bored.  Her pokemon created a dark ball around him and shot it at the offending pokemon.  It clearly hurt it a lot, and made it look even grumpier than it did before.  It retaliated with a pulse of water, which made Arkose look mildly hurt due to the rain.  As the pokemon did this, Naveta flicked a pokeball in its direction, and due to its weakness after taking that attack, it was unable to break free.  The pokeball clicked, the rain stopped and she picked up her new catch.  With that, she starting wringing out her shirt so it would at least be a little less uncomfortable as she made her way back to the city.
