Kai let out his team in the morning, his brain not really registering the new arrival on his team for a few moments until Keahi and Coronet brought attention to the cat. Keahi seemed pretty happy to see a familiar species to back home, and Coronet, while shying away, seemed a bit more comfortable as well.
"Well... I got a whole team of Alolans, that's pretty cool!" He gave a pat to his new little pal, kinda happy that his team was full of familiar faces of home. He certainly didn't expect to be able to fill his team like this over here, but he was really happy he could. "Welcome to the team, Waiwai! Hope you'll have fun with us."
Assuming everything goes over well, he puts the trio through training and eats breakfast, hopefully getting to know Waiwai better.

The Purrloin seems to have some measure of disdain for Cole, and especially Hab. But it eventually mewls in something that sounds like it could be acceptance, and seems to occupy itself with adjusting its tiara on its head. At closer look, it's clearly just some cheap prop, but it does catch the light well. There's very much a lot of sulking involved in all of its motions, and it is very clearly avoiding looking at any of the humans involved.
This ignoring everyone seems to extend to its compatriots, too. The Pancham wanders over after the conversation, seemingly to try and cheer it up (and glare at Habenaro, puffing its chest up to try and look threatening), eventually leaves in sorrow after not getting any response. Sundance seems to plop itself down on the ground, sadly. Theo can tell the look on its face is one of blaming itself.
The Meowth, at least, doesn't seem to be in such a sullen mood. It peers up at Kai in a questioning mood, meowing. It's not quite possible to tell whether or not it's actually enthusiastic about things, or is just acting like that because it thinks it will get better treatment. It does seem to be mostly ignoring the other two newly-captured Pokémon, besides occasional quick wary glances over at the Purrloin.

Cole bangs a spatula against a pot and points it at all of the newcomers "I'm gonna say this once, and it goes for all of you. You tried to steal from us, you lost. Think of this as probation. Show that you've changed and turned over a new leaf and maybe. MAYBE. You'll get out on parole early. Make sense?"
With that he dished out plates to everyone, nodding at Pepper again "Look, those two still look up to you. Put on a good show at being an obedient Pokemon and maybe I'll find you something else shiny in the city. Sound good?"

Kai shot Cole a look, he didn't really have any say over Waiwai, but he shook his head and ignored it. No reason to bring up an issue over something pedantic like that. Though... what exactly was parole in this case?
"I-is parole suppose to be releasing them? Cause you can count me and Wai out of that arrangement, I wanna keep my new catty partner, thank you." Kai gives Wai a scratch behind the ears, yes, shortening the nickname seemed pointless since a nickname was supposed to be short, but Kai rather liked having the full names, makes knowing when he's serious easier.

"...Don't gotta rub it in Cole, they ain't got a bad deal with us even if they don't know it yet." Theodore watched the Pancham for a moment, scratching at his stubble. It just wants the cat thing to notice it. He could probably swing that once they were back in town.
"Hey, Sundance? Ever been digging on the beach for treasure?" He beamed, scooping the Pancham up to sit on his shoulder. "Let's go fellers, we got ladies to entertain!"

The Purrloin gives a non-committal mrow at Cole. Hers ears did seem to perk up a little at the mention of shininess, but the rest of her face appears to be frozen into a veneer of inexpressiveness.
Meanwhile, the Meowth seems to be a little smug in the other cat's direction at all the positive attention that he's getting, giving a satisfied purring noise that almost sounds as though it could be a chuckle. Almost.
There's a moment of panic from the Pancham as Theo picks her up, and she squirms around, but soon finds somewhat-stable seating on his shoulder. Although she does repeatedly almost fall off until she uses his hat to stabilize herself, something that seems to repeat every few minutes. There's a bit of an inquisitive noise from her at the talk of treasure.

Cole just sort of grumbles as he cleans up. The other two already seem to have forgiven their Pokemon for trying to steal from them the night before, just like they forgave Holly for trying to kill them at the drop of a hat. He wasn't sure what to make of it, or them, but it just seemed.....weird.
Once he had everything gathered, and his Pokemon recalled, he nodded towards Theodore "Oh yeah. We were meeting them at the Briney House right?"

"People lose bottlecaps, coins, bits of jewelry and stuff on the beach, or at sea and it washes ashore. Sometimes people bury treasure in the sand because it is really easy to dig. Shiny things, you know?" He taps the stone on his hat as an example. "Yeah Cole, Briney House and then off fer some beach fun. Maybe we'll find some crawdads or something."

Kai's ear perks up a bit, that was where they were going. Beaches were always nice, he'd never been to a cold beach before, so he doubted this one would change that. Theo poked at his keystone and that made him reflexively fidget with his own on his glove.
"I'd rather avoid Crawdaunt though, those things can be pretty vicious. I wonder what Pokemon they have at the shore here in Hoenn... Aw man, I shoulda bought a fishing rod!" Kai groans out loud at the missed opportunity, seeming to forget his complete and utter lack of Pokeballs to catch things with.

The Pancham makes an eager-looking face, and a pointing motion with its paw (though... in the opposite direction to where the beach actually is). It seems to like this 'treasure' idea.
It takes a good chunk of walking to reach the Briney House, a plaque outside reading "In memory of the brave Captain Briney, whose house this rest stop lies around, in accordance with his wishes." It seems fairly quiet, with mostly the smell of the sea, the sound of the waves, and the feel of the ocean breeze overpowering all else. The place seems to mostly just be a place to rest for weary travelers, although there's a kitchen inside serving freshly caught seafood, amongst other things. The people taking care of the place seem fairly laid back.
The girls don't seem to be here yet, but it's also only mid-afternoon. Judging by how long it took to walk here, they probably won't be here until early evening at best, depending on when they left. The beach is just a short walk away, so the group could spend some time there, or the three could wait for the girls up at the House, maybe getting settled in one of the bunk rooms.

"What do you think? You want to do your treasure hunting now, or after they get here?" Cole says to the other two. He smiled and prodded Theo with an elbow "Who knows, maybe you'll find something pretty to give to Ayah when she gets here"
He shrugged "Or I could go for a lunch that I don't have to cook" He says with a laugh "Pretty much whichever" It seems he's in a lot better mood then he was this morning, though he was doing his best to not think about what had happened over the last few days

Theodore went scarlet and tugged his hat low over his face. "Maybe I will!" His voice cracked, a nervous smile on his face as he made for the beach with Pancham still on his shoulder. It was treasure hunting for him and his new partner, to find the nice sorts of things people like!

Kai looked over at the two with a bit of confusion. Treasure Hunting? That's why they wanted to go on the beach? The more he thought about it the more confusion swirled in his head. Maybe it was something about not living near a beach? What made them think beaches were just crawling with treasure?
Kai gave out a sigh, no reason to ruin their fun. "You guys go start your hunting, I'm gonna go change into my trunks. I'll take the Beach Fun option, though I know Kea is gonna want to sun bathe... wonder what Wai and Coro wanna do"
Kai walks off to go change, coming back out in red trunks with black flame patterns around the legs. With him were all his team, at least the one's on him.

Most of what Theo and his new partner found was mostly garbage, discarded bottles and the like, but in addition to some neat-looking pearlescent shells the Pancham seemed to take a liking to, there were a couple blue glassy gem shards found, and a sandy, but still functioning, Pokéball. The gems don't seem to be precious at all, but might be worth something to the right person. Or might be useful as gifts. Found a Basic Ball, 2 Blue Shards, and a handful of junk. Kai's new Meowth seems content to just perch on a log, watching over all the activity on the beach, while Coronet doesn't exactly seem to know how to react to the sand. The Vulpix eventually finds some entertainment in inching as close to the ocean as it can, before running away from the waves. The sun's starting to set over the ocean and the sky turning orange by the time that the girls show up to the rest stop.

Theodore had settled in with Sundance to show her how to make the shells into a neat little accessory, making holes with a sharpened stick and running some string through. He sat cross-legged with the pancham in his lap, barefoot and a bit sandy from their day at the beach. "Howdy ladies! It's getting on towards sunset, we was starting to think you stood us up!" Theodore waved them on towards the sand and water. "Hadn't been out looking fer pokemon or nothing yet."

Kai can be seen swimming out a little bit from the shore, having been enjoying the water for the first time in quite a while. When he saw the girls coming on up he swam back to shore, giving a wave from beside Coronet.
"Glad you could make it! I've been trying to convince Coro to swim for hours now!"
Keahi glanced over from the rock she had procured for sunbathing. She gave a sound of acknowledgement, before hopping off her rock and flowing fire onto it. She had been doing this routinely, making the rock nice and warm.

Cole is sprawled out on the sand, taking a nap. The sound of the waves had lulled him to sleep. He gives the girls a sleepy wave, not bothering to even get up.

"Now, hey," Evelyn says, a little miffed, "when I say I'm going to do something, I do it. We just had to walk from Petalburg in one day, after all!"
"Tsk," Ruby says, in much more of a mock-irritated voice. "Started enjoying the beach without us? That's no way to treat a lady, is it?" She holds a disappointed face for a moment before winking. "Nah, all good. Wouldn't want you to have to sit around doing nothing while waiting for us. Besides, I know I'm exhausted. I just want to sit down, grab some food. I know they've got some good stuff here."
"I see you've got another new Pokémon," Ayah comments, gesturing towards Sundance. "One you caught on the way, or from before, that you just didn't show before? Either way, they're cute." She walks up towards the two, before kneeling down to get on the Pancham's level, who looks up, shell necklace jingling.
"Don't know if you guys have already eaten," Ruby says, "but, if not, you want to join us for dinner here? There're some tables on the pier out back where you can watch the sunset. It's nice. I used to come out here on vacation occasionally, get out of the bustling of the city and all that."

"We almost got robbed by her and some of her friends last night." Theodore chuckled softly. "I think she prefers treasure hunting to theft though, looks a lot happier with those shells. Oh, fore I forget." Theodore fished the two glittering pieces of stone from his pocket. "Found these and they reminded me of you, they're yours if you want'em."
"I could go for a meal Ruby, should probably wake Cole for it, he was all excited to have something he didn't have to cook first." The boy laughed. "We can talk about the evening plans over dinner."

Kai finally got close, the conversation being what drew him in. He gave a grin to Ruby at her teasing, hoping that someone else had the idea of swimming at the beach. "I am the only one who wanted to swim, everyone seems to think that the beach is for everything but that, for some reason"
Kai walked over and grabbed a towel to start drying off, if they were going to eat he couldn't really be soaking wet, after all. "I'm down to chow, and I'm the opposite. I lived near the beach back home in Alola... that said I was also near the Volcano... Everywhere in Alola is kinda near the beach, since they're islands and all"
