Cerulean goes to sleep early because tomorrow is a big day. He turns 10 tomorrow, and first thing in the morning he would be running to Professor Kukui's lab to pick out his starter. He knows which one he wants, Popplio. But something shakes up his world and changes everything. An Earthquake happens. He realizes he is in an empty void at this point.
"W-Where am I? What is happening? I feel so… weird…"
He wakes up, his vision blurred as he hears a voice.
Stranger: "Hello? Oh good! You're waking up! I was getting worried…
His vision clears, he is in a field and he sees a Piplup. He looks down, feeling lightheaded, but quickly snaps his head back up
Cerulean: "D-Did that Piplup just talk…? I must be dreaming…"
Piplup: "Are you ok? All of us Pokémon can talk. And what do you mean you're dreaming?"
Cerulean: "US Pokémon? I'm human!"
Piplup: "Coulda fooled me, you look like a normal Popplio to me!"
Cerulean: "WHAT?!"
He goes over to a puddle and looks down, mouth agape as he stands on his tail and looks down at his flippers
Piplup: "Sooooo… were you really human?"
Cerulean: "I was…"
Piplup: "What's your name?"
Cerulean, learning to embrace his supposedly new life, proudly stands on his tail, flippers on his sides, with a smile and closed eyes
Cerulean: "Cerulean's the name! Don't wear it out!
Piplup: "That's a funny name!" She giggles
All of a sudden, a cry is heard in the forest
Piplup: "We have to rescue that Pokémon!
Piplup grabs Cerulean's flipper and drags him into the forest
Cerulean: Gahh wait!
Cerulean wakes up in a new life, and he's dragged into an adventure that he doesn't know has just barely even started. What will become of him and his new friend? Find out on the next episode of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Wrath of the Legendaries!
