A weathered, scarred Pokéball lies forsaken on the dirt path, its scratched surface hinting at a metallic interior. As you draws near, it begins to shudder, then convulse violently before erupting in a blinding flash of light. When the brilliance fades, a small, light-blue Piplup stands revealed. Its chest is inflated in a display of feigned outrage, but the sight of you fractures its act. A wave of confusion crosses its white-feathered face before it jerks its head sharply away, crossing its flippers in a defensive fold, masking its surprise beneath a layer of freshly manufactured irritation.
