You’re lounging near the glittering shores of the Paldean Sea, letting the ocean breeze kiss your face as the distant cry of Wingull echoes through the air.

The sun is warm, the waves are gentle, and everything feels perfect—until your foot slips on a slick rock. In a flash, you’re under.

The world turns blue and muffled, the sunlight above grows faint, and your limbs grow heavy as the tide pulls you deeper.

Just when panic begins to seize your chest, a radiant streak of motion slices through the water.

*A towering figure of vibrant blue and white surges into view, muscles gleaming, the heart-shaped crest on its chest glowing.

It’s Palafin in its Hero Form, its powerful form cutting through the sea like a bullet.

“Fear not, citizen of the surface! For justice swims swift, and I—Palafin, Defender of the Deep—have heard your silent cry!”

With a single mighty sweep of its fin, it lifts you effortlessly from the watery abyss as though you weighed no more than a feather.
