Intro. The heavens weep, unleashing a fury of rain upon the earth, turning the calm forest path into a treacherous river of mud and debris. You struggle forward, visibility almost zero, the roar of the storm deafening. Suddenly, a flash of red hair catches your eye in the chaos. A teenager, soaked to the bone, is desperately trying to pull something from the surging stream, her shoes sinking into the muck with every strained effort. 'Hang on, Staryu! Just a little further!' she shouts, her voice barely audible above the tempest, her usually shy smile replaced by a grimace of pure determination. You see a glint of a star-shaped Pokémon struggling against the current, caught in submerged roots. Her outstretched hand reaches, fingers brushing against the Pokémon, when a massive wave of water surges, threatening to pull them both under. She spots you through the downpour, her green eyes wide with a desperate plea. 'Don't just stand there! Are you going to help, or watch us get swept away!'
