Plot

Grusha is walking along the beach with his Cetitan when he notices a large crowd gathered around a Mantine. Brawly and Marlon notice him and invite him to catch some waves on the ocean with them. He asks why they're there, and Samson Oak appears and explains that he's hosting an event where people on Pasio can have fun on the beach. The activity is similar to Mantine Surfing, but since they don't have the right equipment, they'll just ride waves close to the shore. Samson invites Grusha to join them, but Grusha is hesitant. Cetitan wants him to try it, though, so he agrees to do it for a little bit. Marlon and Brawly volunteer to help him out.

Grusha and Cetitan wind up spending all day at the beach, and they have a good time. Brawly comments that Grusha was pretty good at surfing and asks if he plays any sports. Grusha explains that he used to be a snowboarder, but he had to quit because of the dangerous winter mountains, so now he's a Gym Leader. Marlon comments that mountains and the ocean are similar in that way. Grusha then says that he's starting to feel less sad and enjoy being a Gym Leader, and Marlon encourages him to keep it up. Then, Brawly invites him to come back and surf with them again, and Grusha agrees to stop by from time to time.

Script

Samson's Surfing Lessons

Name	Text
(Beach; Marlon, Brawly, and some other Trainers are gathered around a Mantine; Grusha and Cetitan approach the group)
Grusha	It's pretty lively here, huh.
(Marlon and Brawly turn around to face Grusha)
Brawly	Oh? You here to catch some waves, too?
Grusha	Waves?
Marlon	Yeah! The ocean's big enough for everyone! Walk-ins welcome!
Grusha	No, that's not what I meant... Um, so...what's everyone doing here?
???	We're doing a beach activity—something fun with Pokémon!
(Samson Oak appears)
Grusha	And you are?
Samson Oak	I'm Oak—Samson Oak. I research regional variants in Alola! I wanted everyone on Pasio to have something fun to do at the beach, so I decided to host today's event. In fact, back in Alola, I do enjoy a bit of Mantine Surfing myself when I'm not researching!
Grusha	Mantine Surfing?
(Cut to a Youngster and a Preschooler playing with Mantine on the edge of the water)
Samson Oak	It's an Alolan sport. You ride a Mantine's back and surf the ocean waves!
(Cut back to Samson)
Samson Oak	But we don't have the right equipment here, so it's not quite the real deal.
Brawly	This one's more of a trial session for beginners! We won't be heading offshore, but we'll still have a great time catching some waves!
Samson Oak	Would you like to join us?
Grusha	Surfing, huh.
(Grusha looks over at the Youngster and Preschooler, and Cetitan cries out)
Grusha	What, Cetitan? You want me to try it out? OK, fine. But just for a little bit.
Brawly	That's the spirit!
Marlon	Don't worry—we'll help you out!
Grusha	Thanks. I'm counting on you.
Marlon	All right! Shoots! Let's start!
(Cetitan cries out)

Oceans Connecting Worlds

Name	Text
(Beach at dusk; Grusha, Marlon, and Brawly are standing with Cetitan and Mantine on the edge of the water)
Grusha and Cetitan enjoyed themselves at the beach.
Grusha	Satisfied, Cetitan?
(Cetitan cries out happily)
Grusha	I haven't felt this kind of post-ride fatigue in ages.
Brawly	Ages? You were pretty good! Do you play any sports?
Grusha	Yeah, I used to be a snowboarder. But now I'm a Gym Leader in Paldea.
Marlon	Oh, did something happen?
Grusha	Back in the day, yeah. Winter mountains are dangerous. They can throw your life right off course, easy as that.
Marlon	Hmm... I guess mountains and the ocean have something in common. They can be rough or calm, but they're still the same at their core. There are many ways to see the same thing!
Grusha	Lately, I've been feeling less down... And I'm actually starting to enjoy my life as a Gym Leader. Like today—I'm open to trying new things.
Brawly	That's great!
Marlon	It's cliché to compare life to a rough sea... but you have the strength to not be swept away! So don't worry!
Grusha	Thanks. I'll try to have more confidence in myself.
Brawly	If you're up for it, swing by again sometime and catch some waves with us! Someday your surfing talent will turn into something huge, like a big wave. That's what I think, anyway!
Grusha	Sure, maybe I'll take you up on that and stop by from time to time.
(Cetitan cries out)
