Prologue

Where am I?

Am I dreaming this?

I feel a pleasant breeze.

...I hear a voice from somewhere...

I wonder who it is?

...

......

............

...Excuse me.

...Please, wake up. C'mon, wake up.

You're finally awake! Great!

(W-Where is this...?)

I found you passed out here. I'm glad you came to!

I'm Waldorf. Happy to meet you!

...And you are? I don't think I've seen you around before.

Huh? Did you say human?

But you look like a normal Squirtle from every angle?

(I-It's true...)

(I have turned into a Squirtle!)

(...But why? I don't remember anything...)

Um... You're kind of weird...

Your name? What's your name?

(My name...? That's right, my name is...)

OK. You're named Statler. Well...

Isn't it a funny name!

Somebody! Please! Help me!

Huh? I hear shouts from over there...

What's wrong?

It's horrible! My Spheal fell into a cavern! My poor baby!

What?!

A huge fissure opened in the ground, and my Spheal fell in!

He's too young to crawl out by himself!

When I went to get my baby, Pokémon suddenly attacked me!

Huh? You were attacked? By other Pokémon?

They must be enraged by the fissure... and out of control! That's what I think.

I'm not strong enough to fend off those wild Pokémon... What will become of my baby?

Oh! What am I to do?! Oh dear, oh dear...

This sounds bad! We have to go help!
