A Pokémon trainer has a story for every one of their Pokémon. It could be an intense battle, a lucky chance, or a life saving meetup, and each one is special in its own way. And how special would it be if you could do it for the entire Pokédex...

"Thanks you two for accompanying me," Cheryl bows.
The group was expertly led out of the forest within a couple of days. Ash and Dawn may have ran the final hundred metres to get into open land.
Turtwig was sad to leave what he called home for so long but eventually let himself be captured. As for Shellos, he was starting to get a little more restless...
Ash and Dawn separate from Cheryl and continue down Route 205 which picks up after the forest. The terrain is very similar to the earlier part as well.
A small lake comes into view with a boardwalk that stretches across. It must be fishing central though.
Fishermen and women are lined up along the edges. Casting and reeling endlessly, Ash and Dawn haven't seen one catch yet though.
"Ugh that stupid storm has all the Pokémon restless," One of the older fishermen growls and starts to pack up his gear. But he stops when seeing the blue Shellos in Ash's arm. "Where did you get that Shellos boy?"
"On the other end of Route 205," Ash answers. "He was hurt when we found him."
"Hmm, very interesting boy," The man scratches his beard. "See the Shellos on this side of Mt. Coronet are pink in colour."
"And the two species hate each other," Dawn adds to show that they've read up on the Shellos.
"Correct," The man nods and looks at the large wall of stone that has many small waterfalls pouring out into the lake. "This wall is almost like a dam."
Ash and Dawn watch the perfectly clear water pour harshly into the lake, sharp currents underneath.
"It controls the water flow but also controls the movement of Pokémon, a main reason not many can travel across Mt. Coronet from here."
"Between this cliff structure and Mt. Coroner you will not find a single Shellos," The fisherman states. "Blue ones know if they fall through this dam, they won't be getting back through the water."
"So between Eterna City and the mountain is neutral territory?" Dawn asks.
"Pretty much," He nods.
"Are you saying that this Shellos just happened to get swept away then?" Ash holds up the soft blue Pokémon.
The man examines Shellos closely but shakes his head after. "No I think it was looking for somethin' or maybe a someone."
"Run!" Someone shouts and everybody around the lake watches a section of the wooden dock blow up in a wave of water.
Pieces fly in every direction until settling on land or in the racing currents.
"Gastroooooo!" A mucky brown and pink Pokémon climbs onto a piece of dock that survived.
