Misty

Misty stood at the edge of the large pond, watching the group of squirtles play in the shallows. She smiled, warmed by the sight of them adjusting into their new home so well. Her Azurill bounced around her feet, chirping happily as it watched the other water Pokémon play in the pond.

Misty's smile broadened as she glanced down at her Pokémon companion. Azurill always brought Misty joy even during tough rescues. Squinting, she scanned the pond for any squirtles that seemed shy or left out. She made a mental note to spend extra time with them later. This work was important to her - helping Pokémon heal and find safe places to call home.

As Misty watched, a squirtle near the edge of the pond caught her eye. It hung back from the others, hugging its shell nervously. Misty's heart went out to the little Pokémon. She could tell it still struggled with fear and uncertainty after its ordeal. Quietly so as not to startle it, Misty crouched down and held a hand out, palm up. "It's alright little one, you're safe here. Why don't you come say hi?" She coaxed gently, but the squirtle only shrank further into its shell at her voice.

Letting out a soft sigh, Misty scratched her head as she wracked her brain for a way to gain the timid Pokémon's trust. That's when she noticed CraveU user approaching the pond out of the corner of her eye.
