00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:06,120
Speaker 1: Along the bright, sunlit coastline of the Ilola region, the

2
00:00:06,320 --> 00:00:11,199
rocky shores were filled with countless small tide pools. These

3
00:00:11,359 --> 00:00:16,000
calm pools were a beautiful sanctuary for many aquatic creatures,

4
00:00:16,039 --> 00:00:19,000
providing a safe place to rest away from the strong

5
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,640
ocean currents. But life on the rocky shore was also

6
00:00:23,839 --> 00:00:28,039
highly competitive. Among the colorful coursela and the tough krabby,

7
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,799
lived a very small, extremely timid creature. It was a

8
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:38,280
fragile vmpod. This little scavenger possessed a flat gray body

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:42,000
and tiny legs that were built for only one purpose,

10
00:00:42,719 --> 00:00:47,000
running away. The little vimpod lived in a constant state

11
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:51,840
of overwhelming fear. Its natural instincts forced it to flee

12
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,880
at the absolute slightest sign of danger. If a shadow

13
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,359
passed overhead, it ran. If a wave at the rocks

14
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,640
too hard, it ran. The other confident creatures of the

15
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:08,840
tide pools often ignored the frightened little bug, viewing it

16
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,120
as nothing more than a cowardly scavenger that would never

17
00:01:12,239 --> 00:01:16,560
stand its ground. Deep down in its small heart, the

18
00:01:16,719 --> 00:01:20,640
vimpid hated its own fear. It possessed a passionate desire

19
00:01:20,719 --> 00:01:23,879
to be brave, to stand tall and protect the beautiful

20
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,319
pools it called home, but its trembling legs simply refused

21
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:34,280
to obey its courageous thoughts. One unusually hot afternoon, the

22
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,640
peaceful harmony of the coastline was violently disrupted. A massive,

23
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:44,640
highly aggressive TOXICPEX emerged from the deep ocean waters. This

24
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:49,799
cruel territorial predator was covered in toxic spikes and possessed

25
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:54,280
a notoriously bad temper. It marched directly into the largest,

26
00:01:54,359 --> 00:01:59,680
most populated tide pool, aggressively spreading a dark, poisonous aura

27
00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:03,959
into clear water. The gentle corsal and the small fish

28
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:09,719
were immediately trapped, completely paralyzed by fear and the toxic environment.

29
00:02:10,439 --> 00:02:15,240
True to its absolute nature, the little vimpid reacted instantly.

30
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,919
Its tiny legs moved furiously, carrying it far away to

31
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,960
the highest safest rock on the cliff side. It had

32
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:28,599
securely beneath a heavy stone, completely out of sight. But

33
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,840
as a timid creature looked down from its safe hiding spot,

34
00:02:32,599 --> 00:02:36,120
it witnessed the terrible suffering of a trapped coursla below.

35
00:02:36,759 --> 00:02:41,319
The cruel tox effex was ruthlessly destroying the delicate coral beds,

36
00:02:42,199 --> 00:02:46,639
claiming the territory entirely for itself. The little bug felt

37
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:51,120
a profound, painful twist in its chest. For its entire life,

38
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,039
it had a lowed fear to dictate every single action.

39
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:59,800
It had always survived by abandoning others, But watching its

40
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:06,400
home being destroyed ignited anew, unfamiliar spark inside its fragile body.

41
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,479
It was a tiny, burning ember of true passion and

42
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,520
defying courage. The vimpod made the most terrifying decision of

43
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:21,240
its entire life. It abandoned its safe sanctuary. Scuttling rapidly

44
00:03:21,319 --> 00:03:25,159
down the steep, jagged cliffs, the little bug through its

45
00:03:25,199 --> 00:03:28,919
tiny body directly between the towering tox epects and the

46
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,960
trapped corsela. The massive predator looked down at the trembling

47
00:03:33,039 --> 00:03:38,560
creature with absolute disgust. The tox epecs unleashed a powerful,

48
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:43,280
devastating wave of toxic energy directly at the fragile bug.

49
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:48,000
The whimpod's instincts screamed at it to flee, but firmly

50
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:51,479
planted its tiny feet into the wet sand. It took

51
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:55,159
the heavy impact had on, refusing to move a single

52
00:03:55,199 --> 00:03:59,840
inch as the dark energy struck its small body, something

53
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:04,599
in incredible happened. The sheer will power protect others. The

54
00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:09,960
ultimate triumph over its own paralyzing fear triggered a spectacular

55
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:15,000
genetic response. A brilliant blinding light eruptive from the tiny

56
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:21,800
battered creature, illuminating the entire shoreline. The flat, fragile body

57
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:27,480
expanded rapidly. The thin shell thickened into incredibly dense heavy

58
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:32,519
armor plates. Massive powerful claws formed from the bright light.

59
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,560
When an intense glow finally faded, the fearful little bug

60
00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:42,319
was entirely gone. In its place stood a majestic, towering

61
00:04:42,399 --> 00:04:48,000
glyicopod Pokemon. It was a spectacular, heavily armored samurai of

62
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:52,240
the sea, radiating an aura of absolute confidence and immense

63
00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:56,959
physical strength. The glycopod Pokemon did not hesitate for a

64
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:01,839
single second. Utilizing its signature technique, it launched a first

65
00:05:01,879 --> 00:05:07,199
impression attack, moving with blinding impossible speed for a creature

66
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,279
of its massive size, It crossed the tide pool in

67
00:05:10,319 --> 00:05:14,040
a fraction of a second. Its heavy armored claws struck

68
00:05:14,079 --> 00:05:19,480
the arrogant tox effects with overwhelming devastating force. The sheer

69
00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:24,720
power the armored strike completely overwhelmed the cruel predator, lifting

70
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,839
out of the water and sending it tumbling backward onto

71
00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:31,319
the dry sand. Terrified by the sudden appearance of this

72
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:37,199
unstoppable armored giant, the tox Epects quickly scrambled back into

73
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:42,839
the deep ocean, retreating an absolute defeat. The calm clear

74
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:47,720
waters slowly returned to the tide pool. The towering armored

75
00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:51,879
warrior turned around, its fierce eyes softening as it looked

76
00:05:51,879 --> 00:05:55,759
at the rescued Corsla. The small creatures gathered around their

77
00:05:55,839 --> 00:06:01,079
massive new protector were profound gratitude and awe. The brave

78
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,279
warriors stood tall against the ocean breeze. It had proven

79
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:08,600
that true courage is not the absence of fear, but

80
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,120
the passionate decision to fight for what is right, even

81
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,920
when you are completely terrified.
