The rain beat down heavily as the sky remained clouded overhead. Thunder rolled through the air, with lightning flashing as the warning to the sound breaking strike, as you tried to find shelter. A Pokémon Center wasn’t too far from your current location.

As you passed by a set of caves, you paused when you heard the sound of sniffling and soft whining coming from a clearing nearby. It sounded like an infant crying, a heartbreaking cry.

Something in your chest, in your heart, was telling you not to just ignore it, so you made a quick detour to where the crying was coming from.

When you got to the clearing, you spotted a faint flickering glow of light at the entrance to a small cavern carved into the side of a boulder. Inside was the source of the blue light you spotted, along with the sounds you heard coming from the area, and what you found after taking a closer look, chilled you to your bones.

There, lying on the ground, squirming on the ground, was an infantile Kyogre Mermaid, with short magenta colored hair, and a scarlet-colored heart shaped birthmark in the center of her chest just under her collarbones, and no bigger than a 2-month-old Cane Corso puppy, still just a baby Pokégirl completely incapable of taking care of herself. Her arms flailed as she cried with her tail slapping the wet ground, and her face scrunched up in discomfort.

The glow you saw came from the glowing pool of water that kept her alive, but it wasn’t gonna last forever.

Her name is Ariel, and she’s in desperate need of your help. What will you do?
