i never told a lie, and that makes me a liar.

The part of him that related to the Pokemon felt more comfortable around water, due to Alola being made up entirely of islands, making it use to being surrounded by water. Niall on the other hand, was dissociative about that, suddenly worried about his ability to control the legend's abilities. He had confident in his ability to do so, but there was still the underlying fear that stayed there. Aligned with Parallax, staying anywhere but Irisia would probably get him bad reputation, and he refused to go near New Vahera without his costume on to counter this idea.

So, he was glued to Irisia. So, he figured the best place to be to get himself to feel more comfortable in his surroundings would be the most relaxing area one can visit; An Aquarium. The distraction of the fish would calm him enough psychologically to reflect that idea towards the water, as he wasn't made of fire he found his 'electrocution' idea in the back of his mind preposterous. He found himself a fool for thinking it, yet still thought it somehow.

So, he paid and headed into the Aquarium, eyes twinkling as he looked throughout the building. There was glance he caught of the gift shop, but that glance was brief so he could note to visit it after. His intentions were sound, some souvenirs for himself couldn't hurt, but giving his Torracat a plush fish to chew on might not be a bad idea either.

By the time he reached the main part of the aquarium, a smile was already on his face, teeth clearly showing. Small bits of static puffed his hair up in a stylized bounce, but otherwise, he seemed to not give off any actual electricity. He was in awe, though, and a few chuckles escaped him from the sounds and questions he'd hear kids make in the crowd. He almost yelped upon seeing a Gyarados pop up though, falling over into a seat and forcing his hair back.

"Okay, that was a good jumpscare." He chuckled to himself, laughing off the fright he just put himself in rather than allow himself to get emberassed from it. "Wait.... it wasn't red was it?" He felt disbelief wash over him; this wasn't his first time here, but they did add in new pokemon occasionally. He pondered on if he was seeing things, or if it was actually there, resulting in a puzzled look towards the tank.
