The bolt of lightning cackled in the air before it struck down the large body of water, evaporating some and definitely making an impact on the surface, forcing ripples from the point of contact. A big splash was made, spraying Kyle with mist, which at least wasn't enough to make him consider himself as wet. Though to be fair, he couldn't think of any possibility that the day (or night) on the beach would end without him getting wet in one way or another, especially with his Electrike.

Along with the splash came a Marill, it's aggravated expression telling Kyle that it had narrowly escaped getting a direct his from his Pokemon's stray attack by being underwater. It moved through the surface at great speed towards them, forcing Kyle to run away from the shore and deeper into the land. Still, it wasn't like he was too concerned with facing it directly, especially since he does have a type advantage with the Pokemon he had out.

"Electrike, Discharge!"

Panic had not been in his voice, but rather urgency. He wanted to deal with the wild Marill as soon as possible and get back his feet back on the water. They felt nice and cool after all, and he won't let some wild Pokemon drive him away when he has the upper hand. Perhaps it was why he liked beaches, since he does have an Electric-type around him most of the time to deal with the wild Water-types.

Electricity cackled from his fur as excess charge was released in an area around him. Kyle was quick to escape its radius while the Marill did not have enough time to change its course as Electrike fired off his own attack. It was bright and blinding when everything else was dark, but eventually, the light faded into the faint glow that Kyle had ordered his Electrike to maintain earlier.

The next thing he saw was the fainted Marill's body getting swept by the waves back into the sea.

There was a moment of idleness where both Kyle and his Electrike simply froze in their positions, solemnly watching the round blue mass get silently swept by the ocean's waves. He supposed it would eventually manage to get back to its home at the bottom of the sea, if Marill do live there, and not get eaten by some of the sea's predators such as a Gyarados.

Speaking of Gyarados, a brightly colored fish had taken the Marill's place on the shore, seemingly swept by the waves as well. He wouldn't expect much from a Magikarp anyways, and he wouldn't be surprised if events such as them getting washed ashore was common on the sea as well. Lake of Rage was somewhat near his hometown, which practically classifies him as an expert on Magikarps, but then again, he paid them no mind ever since he was a child since they do not interest him. Gyarados seemed pretty cool though.

"I feel bad for it, honestly." The first thought that usually comes to mind upon seeing Pokemon that his Electrike could easily beat up was to fry it and gain levels from its misery, though Magikarp were defenseless from the get-go anyways and wouldn't even put up a fight. It was like beating up kids in his local park, granted it usually wasn't him that does the beating. "Punt it back to the sea," he ordered.

From the moment that his Electrike had backed up for a running start, Kyle already knew that his Pokemon would once again defy his expectations. He broke into a sprint, using Quick Attack to move from point A to point B and using the momentum to charge straight on towards the floundering Magikarp. The force did punt it back to the sea though, regardless of how much damage his Electrike gave to the Water-type.

"And that's a home run." He opted not to scold. Kyle was mildly entertained with the flying Magikarp, and he did, in fact, ask his Electrike to entertain him.

"Well, that was fun," he'd murmur as he watched the Magikarp land back to the water with a splash. Soon after, he went back to his previous business as if ignoring any other happening that occurred earlier.

"Hey, how about that one?"

Kyle pointed at a blue shell by the beach, which his Electrike immediately managed to follow as soon as his eyes saw it. He was back to walking on the shallow parts of the beach, running across the sand along with his Pokemon to go for the Shellder by the sands. He wasn't sure if it had been washed to shore too like the Magikarp or if it somehow managed to waddle it's way all the way to land. Regardless, the Shellder already had its fate decided by the trainer.

"Can you throw it over the sea? Like a skipping stone. You know, like, nyoom." His hand tried to recreate the visuals of the stone's movements as he tried to explain it to his Electrike. He wouldn't be surprised if the Electrike had not understood though, since an immediate bark of approval from him meant that his Pokemon had not thought much about it.

As his Electrike approached the Shelder, the Water-type had preemptively shot a jet of water straight to the canine, blasting him a few steps away. He shook the water away, with Kyle keeping his distance away from the moisture. "Guess we have to use Discharge before we get to have our fun." On cue with Kyle's words, his Electrike released electricity from itself, frying the Shellder and knocking it out with a super effective move.

"Now, grab it from its, uh, hinge. I think we can call that its hinge."

The canine did so obediently, mostly since he, too, was excited to throw it back to the ocean. At least the Shellder was unconscious and was basically dead weight at this point, allowing the duo to do so as they pleased. "Throw it like this. Make it skip." He demonstrated with his hand a motion akin to throwing a frisbee, which his Pokemon was too familiar with. The motion was executed cleanly, though the result wasn't too satisfactory.

"Huh. Guess it's not usable."

The Shellder, instead of skipping over the water as they have planned, simply had sunk deep into the sea as its trajectory went against a wave that went from the opposite direction. He guessed that was why it was only done by the lake or any other inland body of water.
