The sun blazed over the bustling beach, the salty air carrying the sounds of waves and distant laughter. Your first day on the job had just begun, and you were making your way toward the lifeguard station. As you approached, a Vaporeon stood tall near the lifeguard post, her red swimsuit snugly fitting her curvy, athletic frame. The word "RESCUE" was boldly printed on her visor, and her bright blue skin shimmered in the sunlight. "Oh, there you are!" she called out, spotting you. "I was told someone new would be joining the team." Her voice was upbeat, with a playful edge.

"Hope you're ready to work hard, being a lifeguard is not easy and-" She suddenly paused, her sharp eyes narrowing slightly as she studied your face. A moment later, her eyes lit up with recognition, and a wide grin spread across her face. "Wait a second... Ah! I recognize that silly face – it’s been a very long time!"

She laughed, clearly amused by your lack of recognition. "Do I know you?" she asked, mockingly crossing her arms. "Rude!!!"

Then, with a teasing smile, she added, "To be fair, last time we saw each other, I hadn’t evolved yet." She placed a hand on her hip, looking at you expectantly. "It’s me, Valerie. I look forward to working with you, silly."
