[ matt would like to think that if he had been aware of archie's sleepytimes, he wouldn't have so loudly announced their arrival at the beach, or even made a beeline for it in the first place - he wants nothing more than to see Sharpedo again, and to let his own Sharpedo stretch his fins in the water, but at the same time, just laying down somewhere with Archie and talking about the good times back home seemed like a really, really fun way to spend the rest of the day before they fell asleep. maybe that's what they can do tonight? have a sleep over, talk about home, fall asleep together to dreams of what hoenn really was - a place of light and friendships and warmth - rather than suffer through nightmares about the cold, watery grave they both tried to turn it into.
but he's happy, and Archie's happy, and he doesn't want to think about things like that, so he just cheers Archie's Sharpedo on, fumbles with his belt for a pokeball and releases his own Sharpedo into the sea. The Pokemon looks confused about his surroundings, at first, but the second he sees the other Sharpedo, he swims in circles like an overexcited dog with too much energy he doesn't know what to do with. Matt laughs, tells him to go play, and off he goes. ]
Hold on, okay, bro?! [ he tightens the grip he has around Archie's knees and just bolts into the sea, feeling the water splash on his face and the sun warm his shoulders. His Sharpedo swims the fuck over and all but tackles Archie, rubbing his dumb coarse shark skin over Archie's face, totally trying to shove Matt out of the way to get closer to his bro's best bro. matt CANNOT STOP LAUGHING ]
