Swimming Under the Stars (Open)

First topic message reminder :

Leviathan almost always preferred the way things looked at night.

‘Almost’ was an important word there. He had a few exceptions, like how the sunlight hit the coral in Coral Forest, making the colours blossom under the water. It really was a radiant spot, at least in his eyes, but it wasn’t quite the same at night. Some places like the Coral Forest made him pity the Pokemon who couldn’t come underwater and see it for themselves. At best, they'd be able to catch a glimpse of it from the sky. ... but now, he was getting off topic.

In general, he tended to prefer the stars to the white, puffy clouds, the moon to the sun and the like. Levi liked staying up late, to the point that he was practically nocturnal. The small fish Pokemon felt most at home under the veil of the night, when other Pokemon rarely strayed from their homes. Sure, some Pokemon also liked to stay up, and that wasn’t a bad thing - even a loner like himself needed to speak with others sometimes, too much solitude wasn’t good for you. But nighttime was when the crowds thinned, when things were more peaceful, more quiet. That played a large part in why the wanderer preferred it.

Right now, the aforementioned Feebas was swimming by the beach close to the town of Rainfront, practicing his swimming skills under the starry night sky. He wasn’t a Milotic, at least not yet, so he wasn’t the most deft of Pokemon. In fact, he was actually sort of clumsy, a fact which he was very much aware of. He had figured that he best way to improve would be to practice. So here he was, on the edge of town, practicing a series of dives and loops under the water, occasionally leaping out from under the waves and crashing back under the cover of the ocean with a soft but audible ‘splash’.

Why had he chosen the beach by Rainfront to practice? ... Well, he had no reason, really. It had just been nearby on his travels and he felt like training his swimming skills. Besides, it was a beautiful night, and Leviathan wasn’t going to waste it. So the Feebas continued to duck and dive under the waves, not with very much grace, but hey, that was why he was trying to improve. Unknowingly, he was straying closer and closer to the sandy beach, but this seemed to be the least of his concerns as he continued his training without a care in the world.

That was bad. If the Ralts couldn't be found with aura sensing, then in all likelihood... well, he wasn't going to speak that much out loud, even he had a little more sense than that. "That's... too bad." He murmured, unsure of what else he could say. If that was the only time she'd ever seen someone's aura change, then he could understand not wanting it to happen again.

Noel looks at the sky for a second before remembering something, her entire depressed mood suddenly shifted as she looked over to the feebas. "Uhh sorry but I just remembered I have to go to a volcano for some training" she says as she grabs her bag and runs off "later mate" she yells as she runs

Leviathan blinked, watching as the Lucario darted off. "Uh... Bye!" He called back, wondering if he had said something wrong. Maybe asking about the Ralts had been a bad move. Nevertheless, it had been nice to meet Noel, he might run into her again someday. But for now, the Feebas swam off into the night, the bright stars in the sky reflecting in the ocean water. Content, he swam away from the beach, the night was still young after all. He still had plenty of time to practice his swimming, and that didn't seem like a bad way to spend the rest of the night.
