    [This is the life,] Shelldon said as he swam just below the crashing ocean waves. Curving around the beams of sunlight that flickered through each crest and trough, he continued to build up speed as the looming Labyrinthian Island drew closer and closer. Another stressful day behind him, the gorebyss enjoyed these moments of isolation that took him near the northern coast of the mysterious island.

    Rounding a cliff, he entered his secret cove that bathed in the afternoon sunlight. He found this place on an earlier excursion and decided to make it his private training camp. Complete with a waterfall and several rocks that made perfect targets, the gorebyss honed his body and perfected his attacks in hopes to reach the same battle ready condition that his fellow companions have reached.

    His moments of reflection though were disrupted as something splashed nearby. Sinking below the surface momentarily, he spotted an odd chimera floating belly up. Cautiously, he approached it in hopes that it was still alive while inspecting the odd visitor. It appeared to be a crossbreed of the ocean fish lumineon and the carnivorous plant Pokémon carnivine with its flat head and the bio-luminescent marking on the fins.

    As soon as he began to question where the chimera came from, the pale white eyes opened up. The resulting splashing as he righted himself forced Shelldon to shy away. After reorienting himself, the carnivine/lumineon blurted out, [Tha’s it! Tha’s tha last time I nap south of hollow trunk.]

    [Err, hello?] the gorebyss introduced himself, slowly swimming in front of the massive maw.

    [Ehh? Who in tha great wood is ye?] he asked tilting his face so he could see who was talking to better.

    Not forgetting his formalities, the south sea Pokémon bowed his head, [My name is Shelldon, might I ask of your name?]

    The question seemed to tickle the chimera’s funny as he replied, [Ye never heard of tha Great Capt’n Crunch? Where have ye been? Sleepin’ under a wailord?]

    Before Shelldon could replied, the chimera said, [Bah! It don’t matter much. I need ta be gettin’ up this here’ fall.]

    [Do you required some assistance?] the gorebyss asked as he scoped the length of the falls.

    [Mahbe,] Capt’n replied eyeing the waterfall, [Most tha time I just muscle my way up it.]

    Shelldon stared at the chimera, [This happened before? And multiple times too?]

    [Eeyup,] came the simple replied. [‘Kay, I got an idear. I want ye shoot me up using ye water gun. Got it?]

    Snapping back to the moment, the gorebyss took in the information before smiling, [I’ve got a better idea.] Closing his eyes for a brief second, both of their bodies began to be encased in a faint blue glow.

    [Eh? What’s in tarnation is going on here?] the chimera asked as both his and Shelldon’s bodies began to float out of the water.

    [Psychic,] was the replied as the pink snake like Pokémon reopened his eyes to reveal them glowing the same faint hue.

    Crunch though did appreciate the levitation. [There’s air between me and tha water. I don’t like tha’! I DON’T LIKE THA’!] he panicked, flailing around in the air much like the fish out of water that he was. But it didn’t take him long to connect the dots that it was his new friend that was moving him through the air.

    [Put me back in tha water or I’ll bite yer head off!] he threatened, trying to swim through the air.

    Focused on the goal as it neared, Shelldon replied, [Just hold on tight. I’ll have you back in the water in a moment.]

    [I’m not goin’ ta wait ah moment, I want in now!] Capt’n replied.

    To his surprise though, he felt the water rushing around him seconds after his declaration. Looking behind him, he saw that he was truly at the top of the waterfall with Shelldon.

    Releasing the psychic hold on them, the gorebyss let out a sigh as he started swimming against the river’s current. [There we should be able to press on,] he stated looking at the chimera.

    [Well I’ll be, tha was knida cool,] he replied giving an approving nod. [How ‘bout I treat ye ta snacks at my place. It’s not far.]

    Rolling the offer over in his mind, Shelldon replied with approval to the plan. Letting himself get lead through the river, the Keymain Pokémon took the chance to scope out the land around him.

    It was clear that the area they were swimming through was just a minor part of the great marsh that engulfed the northern part of the island. What tributary that fed into the swamp though was unclear to him mainly due to the lack of explorers that made it this far. From the corner of his eyes he spotted a skorupi emerging from the brush to quench its thirst.

    [So ye’re from tha ocean right?] Capt’n Crunch asked as he lead Shelldon up the river, [What island do you normally sleep near? Tha tiny one? Tha hot island? Or do ye sleep somewhere near this island? Are ye from the mainland? Tha’s a long trip.]

    [No I’m not from the mainland,] he replied finally amused by the cheerful nature of his traveling companion, [I’m from the city on the smallest island.]

    Crunch stopped swimming upon hearing those words. [Ye live in that trainer city?]

    [Is there something wrong?] Shelldon asked as he passed by.

    [Yes, I don’t want non’ of ye trainer’s pets near ma home,] he shouted swimming ahead. [Now git out of here before I call fer my friend.]

    [You hate me so much?] the gorebyss asked.

    [Ye bet ye hide, both me and Gallant hate ye pets and yer masters for damaging our home,] the chimera’s jaw started to slowly open.

    Backing off, the Keymain Pokémon risked final question, [Would this Gallant happen to be-]

    [I ain’t tell ye nothin’, now git!] Capt’n Crunch shouted. Seeing no other choice, Shelldon turned around and followed his trail back to the ocean.
