"They do! A lot of them come from here, and the ones I caught or hatched on the mainland...they've adjusted really well. A lot of them help me with my work, actually! Not just Ra."

Korra does more than just lifeguard duty, she's something like a park ranger and wilderness guide in one.

"And my Gyarados loves it, because I live right on the beach."

"Do they battle often? It seems common here."

"Yeah, I get challenged pretty often. Usually by tourists, they challenge a lot of local trainers. I try and use my water and local Pokemon when they do, that's the whole point."

It's just one of those things people do in the islands, battle island Pokemon and trainers. The same as visiting the beaches or seeing the mountain or going on a boat tour, it's a popular tourist activity.

And it means Korra and her team don't get rusty!

"Oh...hey, look..."

There's a faint rustling in the underbrush nearby, and Korra leans forward and points, directing Rei's attention.

"I think we might have a local visitor!"

Rei looks where she is directed, leaning forward on the rock.

The grass rustles from side to side, and she can see the shape of a shadow beyond the greenery. Her Solosis, for its part, continues to soak up the sun in the spring, blissfully unaware of any potentially approaching pokemon.
