That's Not It...

After I asked Cainen my question, he seemed to smile as he recounted his "Magikarp Tale" (lol I didn't even mean to make it into a pun XD)

"Well, I did. I lived on the beach of Slateport city until I was 17. I was practically old enough to get away from my parents though and traveled to Lilycove with a few... unfortunate events throughout that time. After getting to Lilycove though I set a goal on traveling the worlds waters!" he told me. Sounds like a really big goal, especially since the farthest I've ever gotten to a body of water was going to the lake close to here

"but um..." he continued, "that goal has practically diminished to a dream. I don't even know exactly where I am. There's no way I can back track EVERY water I been to. and there's no way of knowing where EVERY water is. With everything still being discovered and found and all that. plus I don't have a map. I'm stuck in a rut. Like I ever had a real chance. I'm basically just winging it now."

After telling me, his attention-span shifted to something else... namely... a huge crap-load of water bottles that seemed to appear out of nowhere... I mean seriously, how many bottles can one gijinka carry without dropping any? He started to fill the bottles up and I was about to get a poffin out of the cabinet... but I saw something red moving down the side of his face... Yep... blood

After he filled up his bottle, he noticed me still staring at me and turned back around to face me. "What? I like water," he replied, drinking the entire bottle as if he was trying to get his point across and then turning back to the sink to fill the bottle back up.

"Um... as much as it's surprising to see how many water bottles you carry, that's not what I was staring at..." I told him.

He paused for a second, then looked himself over, then looked around him as if he was trying to find the right angle of intrest I was looking at, then gave up. "You're..." I started out.

"What?" he asked and then frowned, "Oh, you're a Magikarp hater aren't you?"

"No! No! That's not it!" I shook my head and waved my hands.

That made him feel a little better from what it looked, "Then what?"

I pointed at his head where he was bleeding. "Oh..." he said and then shrugged, "Nothing important, I can take care of it after I fill up my water bottles."

After that, he turned around and started filling them again... I really have never seen anyone or known anyone until now that didn't fix a head wound so they could fill up their water bottles... "At least let me stop it from bleeding," I told him, "I made you hit your head in the first place."

"Hey, it's fine, I can fix it later after I fill my bottles up," he replied.

... Boy was this guy stubborn, then again you gotta give him credit. After I thought for a few seconds, I suddenly realized that I could make it so his bottles would be filled and that wound would be fixed. "Hey Cainen," I called him again.

He didn't turn around this time. "What?"

"I know a way to fix that bleeding and fill up your water bottles faster."

After I said "water bottles" that got his attention. "You can do that?" he asked.

"As long as you let me stop that bleeding to your head," I told him, giving the condition.

"Deal!"

I sat the water bottles close to each other so I could fill all in one shot. I closed my eyes and breathed as Cainen watched. I clapped my gloved hands together and water started to build up and form together between them. "Water Pulse..."

I fired the water at the ceiling, because I knew the water wouldn't go through, causing it to bounce off and all of the water fill up all the bottles to the top equally.

I smiled because that was actually the first time I ever used that move and I was impressed with it. I turned to Cainen, still staring at the bottles. "Now, about that bleeding..."

-Faye
