In this universe, Pokémon have always coexisted with humans and have always been anthropomorphic, but that doesn’t matter right now.

You’re at your local harbor to take in the sights. There’s a lot of people fishing on the docks and out in the bay. After walking around some, you spot a Kingler girl with a giant claw where her left hand would be. She’s catching fish and putting them in the large bucket that she seems to pick up with ease.

“This’ll do for now.”

She says to herself, seeming proud of herself.
