The gang were making their way to their next destination, Daniel and Alvis were both ready to fight the island Kahuna. They were walking along the path beside the mountain.
Lauren: Okay, this is so unfair, Dan's caught a Litten and Pikipek since he's been here, Joss has got Pichu and now has been given an egg, Alvis caught Cutiefly, what have I got? No captures. This is completely unfair.
Daniel: Well, you have to go out and find a pokemon, earn it!
Evan: I'm sure you'll get a pokemon soon.
Jocey: Look at my egg Lau, its so pretty, I wonder what new pokemon I'll get.
Lauren: Shut it you!
In the distance, on the beach, the group could see a small blue pokemon, battling it out a Hairyama.
Daniel: Look over there! A pokemon battle! A wild one too!
The little blue pokemon tried its best, but Hairyama punched it, knocking it backwards, the pokemon laid on the floor hurt, it tried to get up, but it collapsed again.
Hairyama looked at it disapprovingly.
Lauren: That poor thing got thrashed.
Jocey: We should help it.
The group ran to the beach to the small blue pokemon.
As they arrived, they saw a small group of the same blue pokemon.
Jocey: Who is that pokemon?
Pokedex: Popplio, the Sea Lion Pokemon. A water type, Popplio can control water balloons and works hard so it can make bigger balloons, they aren't known for fighting and are a pokemon that are likely seen to be performing shows.
The group of Popplio shook their heads at the little Popplio.
Evan: Its family doesn't look happy with it.
Daniel: They probably don't like it fighting judging by what the pokedex just said.
Jocey: Yeah they don't look pleased at all.
The group of Popplio then began to head into the sea, away from the little Popplio.
Lauren: Hey! Where are you going?!?
Lauren ran up to Popplio.
Daniel: Lauren wait, don't touch it....
Lauren: But its hurt.
Daniel: I know, I know, but if you touch it, its family may never return for it.
Minun: Mai Mai
Turtwig: Twig
Jocey: That's so sad.
Evan: Pokemon can be so heartless sometimes.
Lauren: But if we leave it, and they don't return.....it could die here. *picks up Popplio*
The group of Popplio turned, seeing Lauren holding the little Popplio.
Lauren: How can you just leave your family like that? This poor Popplio is one of your own and you're going to leave it, because its doing something you don't like. You're cruel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_U6gN6tdywThe Popplio did not seem to care for what Lauren was saying. They continued crawling back to the sea.
Lauren: You'll be sorry for leaving this Popplio.....I promise you will. You have my word, because Popplio here is going to grow, its going to become one powerful pokemon, and it'll teach you for leaving it. You don't get to choose its destiny. Popplio decides that, if Popplio wants to be a battler.....then it can. And it will.
The Popplio arrived in the water, not evening looking back.
The little Popplio cried out for its family, tears appeared in Lauren's eye. But the family disapeared into the waters.
Lauren was shaking, with anger.
Daniel: Lauren....Popplio needs treatment.
Lauren: Right.
The group ran to the Pokecenter, handing Popplio over to Nurse Joy, who took it straight into the emergency room.
Evan: I hope it'll be okay.
Jocey: Not only did it sustain physical injuries, but also the emotional damage of it's family leaving it...heartbreaking.
Daniel: Popplio will be fine...
Jocey: How do you know?
Daniel glanced at Lauren, who looked on through the glass window, watching Popplio.
Minun: Mai
