Meer chuckled, a crooked grin reappearing on his face. <"All right little lady...try me."> The Lapras raised an eyeridge. <"Let's see what you can do. Send that at me...but don't let it get any smaller.">

Maria heard Meer, feeling the wind move on her heart-shaped tail and slowly moved her wave to the right./Wait for it..../ She thought, the wave slowly rising higher with inch as it got closer to the lapprs. The wind shifted again, this time in the right place and her tail soon straintend out with a spark./Now!/ She raised her arms up high, the wave nearly on top of Meer now and quickly fling down her arms, making the wave come down on command.
Wave jumped onto the grassy ground, his beck wide open and his eyes looked like it was ready to fall out of his head./She....can do that!!!/ The piplup thought, folding his wing like arms in a half shocked, half calm look in his eyes.

A small smirk crossed on Charon's face as he watched his companion just control an enormous wave of water with her mind. The raichu was mildly curious about how it felt. But he wasn't a water type, nor did he inherit the ability from family lines. That was Maria's destiny, not his... He could just be there for her when she finally succeeded... And speaking of success...
Good, she got the attack part down... But to fully control it, she needed to be able to ride the wave... And that would be much harder. When the female pikachu turned his way, he gave her a wave of his brown paw, as well as a thumb's up, smile on his face.

The Lapras looked completely calm as the wave came toward him, even as it prepared to descend upon him. Just as it was about to crash onto him, however, there was a flash of light, and the entire wave transformed into ice, shimmering and shining in the sunlight -- the result of a quickly-fired and powerful Ice Beam. From beneath the wall of ice came a loud laughter, and a Water Pulse punched through the frozen wave, shattering it into a million pieces and causing it to splash into the water. In a shower of ice crystals, Meer emerged, looking extremely amused and still chuckling. <"Bravo! That was excellent. Wonderful performance, Maria!"> The Lapras winked. <"Maybe we could do a show together! You send a wave, I freeze it, and BOOM! Instant glitter!">
Abyss sighed and shook his head. For Mew's sake, did that Lapras ever focus? <"Meer's right, Maria,"> the Kingdra said. <"That was very good. Now we just have to work on getting you on the wave."> The Water Pokemon paused, a thoughtful look on his face. Then, suddenly, the Kingdra jerked his head up, causing a medium-sized wave to rise out of the lake. <"Get on,"> Abyss instructed. <"Now we'll work on your balance.">

Maria smiled as Charon waved to her and waved back to him with one paw, then turned her head back to Meer and Abyss. At first, she wanted to say something smart to Meer for what he said to her but blicked her dark black eyes when she heard what the Kingdra had said.
<"Really! Thanks."> She smiled, scraching the back of her head with her right paw and tilted her head to one side, her cheeks sparking alittle. Suddenly, a wave shot up infront of the Kingdra and Maria's heart-shaped tail twiched with shock./He didn't tell me he knew Surf?/ The female pikachu thought, but shook her head and leaped into the water. Once again, she swam toward the wave that Abyss had made and once again, the yellow and brown board appeared as she started to ride the wave.
Maria's arms was raised, keeping her footing and tried her best to keep the board in control. Slowly but surely, she was starting to get the hang of it and slowly let a smile appear on her face.

The raichu smiled as Maria waved back, and the raichu leaned forward a little bit from his spot in the grass with attentive amber eyes. He couldn't hear what they were saying very much from here, but when a wave was summoned, and Maria swam to it, he could have sworn he was holding his breathe.
When the female pikachu started riding it, the raichu whispered to himself, "{Come on... Come on... You are doing it...}"

Abyss nodded as he watched Maria, his red eyes following her every movement. <"Good, good..."> he murmured. However, after a while, when Maria seemed to have found her balance, the Kingdra suddenly said, <"But now you have to learn to balance on a moving wave."> Unexpectedly, the Water Pokemon jerked his head, and the wave moved to the right, albeit slightly. If Maria had found her balance and could learn to move with the wave, she would be able to stay on; however, if she wasn't completely focused and in harmony with the water, then there was no doubt the Pikachu would be thrown off.

Maria was getting used to the wave sitting still, her arms still out on etherside of her and her tail moving slowly side to side. She was getting the hang of it, smiling a bit before it vaished from her face after a few words from the kingdra and a sudden shift of the wave. Fear stuck her like a rock and once again, she started to panic with her eyes tightly closed. But something told her to focus and keep calm.
/How can I keep calm? Think about the wave?/ The female pikachu thought, almost falling off the board but manged to stay on shifting her tail to the right. Then, she thought of the answer and nodded. /I just have to go with the flow./
She turned her board alittle to the right, the same way her heart-shaped tail was and once again was able to keep on the board. She smiled again, this time even wider and twiched her ears. <"Look at me Charon!! I'm surfing!!"> She yelled out to the raichu, even though she wasn't looking straight at him.

Abyss nodded, watching the Pikachu with a satisfied expression, while Meer gave the Mouse Pokemon a cheer. <"Good, very good,"> the Kingdra muttered. A moment later, however, the Water Pokemon jerked his head once again, this time making the wave more faster and father -- in other words, it was more of a challenge than last time.

Charon's brown paws were tight and amber eyes uneasy. He looked like he was ready to bolt out there himself and beat the two water pokemon into a pulp and take Maria away from the water... But he had to stay calm, even though his yellow cheeks occasionally sparked.
What was wrong with him? He knew there was no harm. He trusted Meer and Abyss. They were helping her, they were training her... But he was feeling overprotective... And the thought confused him. He had always wanted Maria to be safe, but he was feeling way too sensitive... The female pikachu could take care of herself... Why did he feel like he needed to be in the water with her?

Maria's tail twiched, as the sudden jerk of the wave almost sent her flying off the board but instead, fell onto the board on all fours with her heart-shaped tail straight up in the air./Charon.../Her first thought was, hanging on to the board with fear in her dark black eyes. She wanted to quit, toss in the towel and give up. But when she thought of Charon again, she couldn't bring herself to do that and slowly found her footing again.
/Charon would never quit, he always did his best. So now it's my turn!/ Maria's thoughts gave her new hope and she never noiced the sparks that came out of her cheeks. She slowly got back into her stance, her tail shifting with the wave's movements and somehow, she had changed for just a second. Her eyes more focused then ever and she also looked more at ease, moving with the wave as if it was her own.

Charon's mouth lifted in a smile as he watched the female pikachu ride the wave, and with a sigh, he sat back down next to the piplup. Maria was doing fine, she could take care of this herself.
And the male raichu was proud of her.

Meer and Abyss nodded in satisfaction, and slowly the Kingdra lowered the wave back to the water, allowing Maria to get off easily. Meer, meanwhile, smiled at the Pikachu and spoke. <"That was tight, Maria! Great job."> The Lapras winked. <"Now it's time for you to try it on your own. Go on. Use Surf.">

Maria jumped of the board and into the water, popping up at the surface with a wide smile. <"Thanks Meer, but do you two mind if a take a short break? I need to rest alittle before I try it?"> The female pikachu asked, her voice strong but quiet. She really did need a break, after all, she did use half of it just being on the board.
Wave smiled but stayed where he was, glancing at the raichu that was getting up and sitting down over and over again. <"Restless? What's wrong?"> The piplup asked, laughing alittle with one wing like arm on his beak.

Charon was silent for a long time before he answered simply, "<Nothing really important.>" The raichu merely watched Maria talk from the water with a sigh, bringing a brown paw to his forehead.
