1 00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,319 Speaker 1: Deep within the ancient forests of the Hoen region, there 2 00:00:03,399 --> 00:00:06,120 was a peaceful sanctuary known as the Grove of Light. 3 00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,560 For generations, this clearing was home to an elegant family 4 00:00:10,599 --> 00:00:14,839 of psychic type pokemon. They spent their days floating gracefully 5 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,160 and moving objects with their powerful minds. But among them 6 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:23,440 lived a unique small raults who wanted something entirely different. 7 00:00:23,879 --> 00:00:26,120 He did not want to cast spells or move rocks 8 00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:29,920 with magic. He wanted to become a legendary physical swordsman. 9 00:00:30,719 --> 00:00:33,920 Every day, while the others meditated, he practiced with heavy 10 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:39,399 wooden branches, training his small body to be strong and fast. Eventually, 11 00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:42,920 his relentless physical training allowed him to evolve into a curlia. 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,039 His new body looked like an elegant dancer, which made 13 00:00:46,119 --> 00:00:49,600 swinging a wooden sword feel incredibly awkward at first, but 14 00:00:49,679 --> 00:00:53,520 the clever Curlia adapted. He used his dancer's footwork to 15 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,920 leap and slide gracefully, combining his speed with sharp, precise 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,439 sword strikes. He carried a glowing cyan crystal, a rare 17 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:05,040 dawn stone tied to his waist as a symbol of 18 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,879 his promise to become a true knight. One cold, moonless night, 19 00:01:10,439 --> 00:01:14,480 a terrifying thread arrived. A thick fog rolled into the grove, 20 00:01:14,799 --> 00:01:18,519 followed by a ruthless pack of aggressive mighty ena. These 21 00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:22,319 dark wolves wanted to conquer the sanctuary. The elder Gardvoar 22 00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:25,239 tried to use their psychic magic to push the invaders away, 23 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,719 but the dark wolves were completely immune to the magical attacks. 24 00:01:29,439 --> 00:01:32,920 The peaceful family retreated in terror. The massive Alpha Midna 25 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:37,799 stepped forward, ready to claim the grove. Suddenly, the young 26 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,040 Careleia leaped into action. He drew his wooden branch and 27 00:01:41,079 --> 00:01:44,799 stood bravely between his family and the massive wolf. The 28 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,439 alpha lunged with glowing dark jaws, but the Curia used 29 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,159 his flawless dancer's footwork to dodge the attack. He struck 30 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:54,879 the wolf rapidly, moving like a phantom in the fog, 31 00:01:56,359 --> 00:01:59,799 but the physical difference was too great. With one heavy 32 00:01:59,799 --> 00:02:03,439 stewipe of its paw, the alpha Mightyena shattered the Curla's 33 00:02:03,439 --> 00:02:07,599 wooden sword into splinters. The young fighter fell to the ground, 34 00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:12,080 completely unarmed. Refusing to give up, the brave Curlia placed 35 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:15,080 his hand on the dawnstone at his waist. His fierce 36 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:19,039 desire to protect his family awakened the ancient crystal. A 37 00:02:19,039 --> 00:02:23,479 blinding column of brilliant cyan light erupted, completely illuminating the 38 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:28,240 dark forest. When the light shattered, a magnificent, towering figure 39 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,039 stood in the clearing. He had evolved into the legendary gallad. 40 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:36,199 His arms possessed massive razor sharp emerald blades, and he 41 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:41,080 radiated an aura of absolute nobility. The alpha wolf roared 42 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:46,280 and attacked one last time. Glade stood perfectly calm. Moving 43 00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,120 faster than the eye could see, he executed a powerful 44 00:02:49,159 --> 00:02:53,319 psycho cut. A crescent shaped blade of psychic energy struck 45 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,360 the massive wolf, launching it far into the forest. Terrified 46 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,840 by this incredible swordsman, the rest of the pack fled 47 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,800 in to the night. The sun began to rise over 48 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,800 the grove of light. The elegant family bowed deeply to 49 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,680 the young warrior. Through sheer determination and bravery, he had 50 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:13,960 achieved his dream, becoming the ultimate, honorable protector of the forest. 51 00:03:15,719 --> 00:03:18,680 Did you enjoy this epic adventure?
