A head popped out of the waters as the intensity of light grew, which both the Electrike and his trainer stared at for a moment. Kyle had expected it to attract something, somehow, with his Electrike's uncanny ability to somehow get energized over any little thing, flex his electric muscles and put the spotlight on him for all the wild Pokemon in the area to notice. They still weren't sure if the wild Pokemon was hostile or not, and so Kyle was wary about approaching it.

Well, it wasn't like Kyle minded getting a brawl or two on the beach anyways.

He did not inhibit his Electrike when it got curious and drew closer to the Marill. Still brimming with sparks as he approached and ultimately touched the water around the Water-type, his Electrike had inevitably teased the idea of aggression onto the wild Pokemon. As soon as the Marill got tickled by the small amount of current, the round little thing went on the defensive almost immediately, backing up from the water as it prepared its next move.

"Don't let it get further away. Discharge."

Bubbles formed at its mouth, frothing just enough before forcing them out in a torrent. As a bunch, the bubbles do not look like harmless bubbles that they supposed to be. Nevertheless, as his Electrike gathered up enough electricity as it tried wading through the water, he discharged them just in time to go against the attack, popping most of them and making the Bubblebeam effectively harmless.

The Discharge not only served its purpose defensively though, as electricity surged through the waters, jolting the Marill into unconsciousness in the least conspicuous manner possible. As it lost control of its body, the water swept its body away back to the sea. Somehow, the scene seemed too familiar for Kyle.

"Get the fuck out of the water!"

Kyle wasn't going to risk forcibly dragging his Electrike out of the beach and back to shore. He was on dry land and was safe, for now, and if he wanted to go back to the waters, it would mean taking out all potential hazards that made doing so dangerous. His Electrike was the primary problem that should be fixed immediately.

Seeing his trainer get frustrated only served to motivate the Electrike even more. It started trotting across the shallow parts of the water, prancing about as he released even more sparks from his wet fur. Instead of flying all over the place and essentially being a light source, all of the electricity conducted straight into the water instead of the air. Kyle definitely did not want to go back into the water now.

"Hey, look! Another Marill!"

His finger pointed to another round and blue figure from afar, the dimness of the night making it difficult for Kyle to recognize the Pokemon effectively. His Electrike, who seemed to get hyped up just with Kyle raising his voice, immediately took in the bait without any second thought and rushed straight to its target. The Pokemon he even pointed at wasn't even hostile at the slightest and probably doesn't even deserve to have an Electric-type running after it.

He shook away the water that clung on his fur, using the heat from the electricity he accumulated through running to evaporate any remaining moisture. By the time he managed to reach the Poliwag, he was all charged up once again, pouncing on the defenseless creature and giving it an electrified hug. It was enough to completely fry the Poliwag, knocking it out almost immediately. Electrike eventually released him and trotted back to Kyle as soon as he was done.

"Calmed down yet?"

The inquiry was immediately met with a bark, followed with a nod from the Electrike. His steps seemed to have mellowed out by now, going for a more consistent speed rather than large and aggressive strides. It had been close to his bed time after all, and all Kyle was doing was depleting the remains of his battery until he falls asleep. The later he awakens during the day, the better Kyle's overall morning gets after all.

"Well, heads up. We have another contender."

His eyes stared at a Mudkip just where the Poliwag that his Electrike fried laid. Its eyes were clearly on his Electrike, a challenging stare directed at the Electric-type and blood lust emanating from its small body. Kyle knew the wild Pokemon's intents just from looking at it, though his Electrike did not seem to be able to read it as effectively as him. At least there's only one thing that his Electrike does whenever Kyle points him to a target.

"Straight outta nowhere, and here to revenge his fallen friend that you murdered, is that, uh, thing." His finger pointed to the Mudkip, trying to shift his Electrike's attention away from him and to the wild Pokemon. "Yeah, you better deal with it before it deals with you."

Although his Electrike had just managed to reach Kyle, he took no hesitation to go for a u-turn and return to where the violence was. The Mudkip steeled herself as she planted her feet on the sand before gushing out a torrent of water from her mouth. Electrike, however, simply charged through the stream, electricity still coursing through his body, before discharging a large amount of electricity within the vicinity.

Kyle watched the battle from afar, somehow feeling bad for the Mudkip as he won through brute force. Perhaps his Electrike was growing too quickly for his liking, though he wouldn't allow him to evolve just yet. Manectric do get much larger and having an uncontrollable beast with a height of about five feet was going to be too much for him.
