Hello my name is Prower... I am a floatzel... And I um... am currently swimming in a creek near the hut I live in on the outskirts of town.

My swimming had been going well and I was glad this creek had a tendency to be empty because around other Pokémon I am very timid... Even speaking now is a little scary... And don't even get me started on when I have to do shopping.

I kept swimming around enjoying the quiet but after a few more minutes I heard footsteps... I froze up and in water that isn't a good idea... I started drowning a little and was still feeling worried. "Need help?" I heard the voice and then looked up and saw a Zangoose on the cliff edge near the lake.

I was even more worried now Zangoose may be rare around these parts but when I was in Pokéschool there was one that was my bully and it worried me that this Zangoose may be the same.

I felt myself pass out and as I did I had heard the sploosh of someone landing in the lake. "Cmon here we go." I heard before I passed out.

I awoke and saw next to me was the Zangoose I saw earlier and he had started eating a berry that looked slightly burned. "Ah you are awake... I was a little worried since you nearly drowned... Although I didn't think water types could drown." The Zangoose laughed a little but I just stayed frozen and unresponsive. 'He doesn't seem mean... But who knows this could all be a trick... He did save me though... But he put me in that situation.' My thoughts went around and around.

The Zangoose kept eating then looked at me again this time he kept looking at me. "Aren't you hungry?" He asked and I just looked down and pushed my self up and then my stomach growled. "Yep that sounds like you are." He said and I just stayed quiet and a little twitchy as that felt like an insult to me.

The Zangoose stuck around and handed me a nice Oran berry. "Here you should eat something. My name is Getsu Zangia by the way... What's your name?" Getsu asked me and I felt scared and as such I didn't answer straight away but I decided that he wasn't scary... Or mean. "M-m-my name is Prower... Prower float." I told Getsu and then Getsu smiled.

"Glad you spoke finally... I was worried I was around a Mr. Mime." Getsu jokingly said and I just twitched again he was getting a little annoying. "You must not have many friends... Cause it seems quite lonely out here." Getsu continued and I just twitched again... For some reason this Zangoose got under my skin.

"So I was wondering Prower... Do you wanna be my friend... I don't know that many people either." Getsu told me and then my aggravation went and I just thought a little longer. "S-s-sure... I haven't had a friend before..." I told Getsu and I just got more shaky and thought to myself.

'How does this work... How did I gain a friend and why do I feel different around this Zangoose.' I thought as I stood and was quite shaky and Getsu just stared at me. "Hmm... Did you have a draft or is it colder around here?" Getsu said whilst I had been shaky. "N-n-no I am just a very nervous person." I told him quietly.

"Ah yeah I picked up on you being very timid but that happens when you live alone... Just guessing you live alone." Getsu told me and I just twitched a little again. "Y-y-yes I live alone..." I told Getsu quietly again.

We left to a Oran berry bush near to the entry to the town. "Here let's make this our friendly meeting place where we shall meet each other and discuss things." Getsu said and I smiled a little... It felt weird to smile but I did and then I nodded. "S-s-sure." I told Getsu then we shook paws and left our separate ways... I found a friend... I am very happy about that although it would be nice if he were a little nicer.
