Amalia and her friends, Tye and Greta, were at their usual spot at the edge of Cyllage City discussing on what they were going to do. Tye thought of exploring the forest and searching for bug Pokemon, his favorite hobby, while Greta wanted to look out towards the sea as the sun rose. Amalia wanted to go along with whatever they decided if they could decide.

"Let's watch the sun!" Greta said, "It's so pretty in the morning and we're up early."

"Well there are some bug type Pokemon that come out this early." Tye argued, "This may be my only chance at seeing them! You know… before I move."

Amalia thought as the two bickered over what to do. She came up with an idea that will satisfy them both. She looked over at the arc that watches over the seas and imagined the view up there. She also took account for the surrounding forest nearby.

"I have an idea!" Amalia said, "Let's go to the top of the arc up there. It's close to the forest so Tye can catch bugs and Greta can watch the sunrise!" She pointed over to the arc. Tye and Greta agreed.

"I'll beat you there!" Tye said getting a small head start before Amalia joined in.

"Hey! Wait for me!" Greta said jogging at a steady pace.

Greta and Tye were at the arc panting but not more so than Greta who plopped on the ground exhausted.

"Honestly, how do you two have so much stamina?" Greta said facing the sky as it turned red. "Oh! The sun's rising!" She walked over to the arc while Tye went to look for bug type Pokemon.

Amalia stood on the edge of the cliff letting the sea breeze pass her by. Greta sat inland paranoid that she might fall.

The sun rose as a half circle surrounded by magenta and orange with a hint of blue showing. Clouds turned a beautiful grey with white streaks. The ocean smelled less salty than it normally was. Instead, it smelt like cleaner, fresher, air had just rolled in.

The sun eventually rose completely turning the a greyish blue. Clouds rolled in as soon as the sunset left. Greta looked back in search of Tye who showed up with a notebook of data and drawings of Pokemon. Greta and Amalia looked at them with great interest while Tye explained the ones he liked the most.

The friends sat on the arc laughing, joking, and tried daring each other to jump into the sea below. They both knew no one would. They weren't old enough to. Soon, thunder rolled.

"Sounds like a storm." Tye said, "We should leave soon."

"We still have some time." Amalia said, "What about this one?" She pointed to a beetle like Pokemon.

"That's a Kricketune! It's awesome isn't it!" Tye explained. He spent a little more time explaining each Pokemon when the rain and wind came, soaking the pages.

"Ok, it's really time to go!" Greta said running off the arc.

"Yea, we really pushed it." Tye agreed getting off as soon as he could.

Amalia got up, but the wind blew hard on her. She took a step back to balance herself only to feel her foot sink lower and lower.

She had stepped over the edge.

Amilia fell backwards and seconds later, catching her was out of the question.

"Amalia!" Greta yelled. The rumbling thunder almost muting her voice. "Tye! Get your brother or someone!"

Tye ran as fast as he could, looking back at Amalia falling into the ocean. Amalia screamed as she fell closer to the water.

The wave caught her before she hit the water then dragged her out to sea. She flailed as she tried to keep herself afloat. Waves rolled over her head as she gasped for air. Water came in, bit by bit, as she opened her mouth. Every time her head came up, the arc got farther and farther away.

"Help!" Amalia yelled, she knew no one could hear her. She was too far from land. So far, she couldn't see it in detail.

She was panicking herself unsure what to do. She never swam in the sea before. The idea of her being in the seawater hadn't even crossed her mind and this is how she's introduced to the salty depths for the first and final time.

Amalia cried and screamed until fatigue washed over her plunging her into the depths of the great ocean.
