An Explorer (old)

Drowning Day

an annoying sound was heard, it is like beeping like... i opened my eyes to see where it came from, then i remembered that i set up an alarm, my Compal is beeping with a time showing '5.00 P.M' I've been asleep for a while. i got up from my bed and scrub my watery eyes.

Alex is still sleeping. 

then the next thing i do is turned on the lights. the entire room is now lit. then i heard Alex groaned a little

"gallade" he mumbled clearly
"it's already late," i tell him

"huh?" he said to me with telepathy now, he got up from the bed and stretches his arms. 

"Why aren't they back yet?" Alex added
"well... I'm not sure"

"should we find them?" Alex said
"yeah, le-"

"TOCK-TOCK!"

a knock was heard from the door, it was a sound as if a wet cloth just hits the door...

oh! it's Curtana!

i turned to the door and opened it

"Curtana, why are yo-" i cut off when i see that Curtana is wet with a smell of salt
"C-Curtana, why are you wet? did you get in the sea? you will get rusty!" i added, then Alex came to the door as well and see him wet as well

"well... i could explain" Curtana said to us, then he moved back from the door and show Lucario wet as well! but Marie isn't

"Hi!" Lucario said
"Lucario... why are you wet as well?!" i added

"are you okay?" Alex said to Lucario
"yeah! I'm fine!"

"Something happened while we're at the beach!" Marie said to us

"well before you tell us... let's get you cleaned up first, especially you Curtana" i added, then Curtana looks down as if he failed something. 

i took my bag and bring out a cloth and a bunch of oils 

"Alex, can you clean Lucario in the bathroom. there is shampoo in there for a pokemon" i said to him, Alex nodded back
"wait! can i help you too!" Marie added to Alex
"Okay, but i show you how first" Alex replied
"Yay!"

then i went to a table with Curtana as they are coming inside the bathroom,

"you remember the drill?" i said to Curtana, then he nodded. 

then i grab him by the handle and start wiping some salt out with the cloth that i had.

the rest is just me cleaning a sword.

while Alex and Marie wash Lucario.

that took a while, i already polished Curtana and clean his 'hand' cloth. i am now using the hairdryer from the bathroom to dry Curtana's arm,

then i heard the water shower stopped, and see Lucario came out from the bathroom with a towel covering his entire body with his spike seems to be poking out. Alex and Marie then came out as well. the bathroom let out a soap-like smell with warm temperature coming out from it, Lucario now smell's nice!

"hey! I'm clean now!" Lucario cheered
"yes, we know," Alex said happily

then i finished drying Curtana's hand

"there" i finished cleaning Curtana
"thank you" then he floats up, he is now shining

"wow! that's bright!" Marie said, 

"thanks" Curtana thanks

"Okay..." i said to myself, then i got up from the chair
