Author's Note:
Hey Guys, MegaSalamence64 Here, Welcome back to The First of the Mermay Fics I'm publishing for this May….
I know some of you may or may not be sick of how Juliana's been the Focus of these Transformation Fics but please understand it's something I been passionate about writing since aren't many Transformation Fics about Juliana right now so I figured I might as well make my own Takes on them…
Plus, I figured I help spread some Scarlet and Violet Love as well (Sure the Technical Issues of that Game can be questionable but it's better then both, Sticker Star, SwSh and Sonic 06 at least….)
Well enough talk, We came here for a Story and I'll deliver a it for you…
(XXX)
Continutiy Wise, This Story Takes Place after the Events of Area Zero and AI Sada/The Way Home and the Story: Hidden Fins but before the Events of both Like Mother, Like Daughter and Scarlet Scales, Crimson Love (Due to the Events I mentioned and an Event down below)
So for a quick Timeline Quide, The Current Mermaid Juliana Fics of this One Shot follow in this Chronological Order (Form Top to Bottom):
-Hidden Fins (Covers the Titan Tastugiri and how Juliana Caught Tastu the Shiny Tastugiri)
-Childhood of a Mermaid (AKA This Story)
-Like Mother, Like Daughter (Where Juliana got the Idea and how her Feelings for Avern are acknowledged via the Colouring of her Tail Fins)
-Scarlet Scales, Crimson Love (Revenge of the Titan Tastugiri, Nemona and Avern temporary become Merfolk and the Cameo of a Certain Top Champion)
(XXX)
Well enough talk,
Let's Get on to the Chapter and See you down below! ;)

Symposis: While looking through some of Juliana's Old Photo Albums together with her….
Avern notices that Juliana has some interesting Stories to tell about her Childhood before she moved to Paldea… But Sometimes, Even Weirdness can give out unique tales at least…. And when you're Friend's a Real Life Mermaid…
It's a Special Brand of Uniqueness to say the least…

Many Years ago, When Juliana's 4 Years Old, Hoenn Region, Rustbro City, Johnny and Alvin's Aparment:
'Ok Alvin… it's going to be a while… Johnny and Mizu are just going to be away for a while…. You just have to not to give your Fish-Niece a reason to hate you…Or Risk her and Mizu's Tribe wanting you and Johnny Dead especially with how we're sworn to keep their existence a secret to avoid getting us killed by them for knowing about Mizu's True nature as a Mer…'
Those are the Thoughts that Alvin Nami, A Young Man with Spiky Brown Hair and wearing a Red Shirt and Brown Pants was having right now as he looked at his 4 year old Niece Juliana… who wasn't a Human but a Mermaid like her Mother was…
Juliana has Brown hair with a Braid of Hair and a Small Cowlick hair on her head as well with a Seashell attached to her braid as well.
And Like All Mermaids, Juliana's Fins and Tail were where her Legs would normally be on Normal Humans with said Fins and Tail being a Scarlet Red Colour and her Hands having Webbing on them with patches of Scales covering her Breasts as well instead of Seashells like Fictional Mermaids in Media do, and Finally, she has fangs as well instead of teeth.
She also has Gills on her Neck and a Red Scaled Dorsal Fin on her Back that resembles a Palafin's Fin, Something shared with her Mother as well.
Juliana was currently swimming in an Inflatable Pool, which she's enjoying right now with a sense of waiting for her parents being present however… No doubt missing her Mother and Father as well as her Aunt Athena (Her Mother's Milotic Partner and Sister due to the Merfolk being similar to the Ancient Diamond and Pearl Clans of Hisui/Past Sinnoh...)
Next to Alvin was his Partner Pokemon Manectric whom was currently Napping right now without a care in the World, No doubt the Discharge Pokemon is currently not much help right now at this since Athena admitted Mermaids can only understand Water Type Pokemon only making the Electric Dog Pokemon unable to help his Partner about this…
The Spikey haired Men then noticed Juliana looking at him as the Young Mermaid looked back at him like a Cat would form her Little Inflatable Pool with a puzzled look on her face.
'Might as well try to talk with Juliana at least…Better to try to make it easier for her to approach me without Johnny or Mizu being around' Alvin thought to himself as he decided to just bite the bullet and get things over with
"..Hey Juliana… How are you?" The Spikey haired Man said to his Niece as the Younger Mermaid looked back to him whom simply gave him some Palafin like Clicks back as a Response, No doubt still unable to commute like a Human just yet despite being the age when Normal Human Children can talk…
"Ok Then…." Alvin admitted while trying to understand his Niece's Words while the Scarlet Scaled Mer simply looked back at him in confusion.
"Do you wanna draw something? Or Get that Rubber Ducky form the Bathtub to play with? Or heck, Just anything in general?" He questioned to her as Juliana remained slient for a while as she then looked at the Fridge,
"You're hungry then?" Alvin questioned as Juliana nodded in agreement before letting out another Palafin Click which no doubt means a Yes…
"Alright, I'll get some food for you…Sides I'm pretty hungry myself…" Alvin admitted as he took out some Sandwich Ingredents and made a Smoked Veluza Fillet Sandwich for himself and some Ham wrapped in Seaweed for Juliana.
The Mermaid quickly took her Ham and Seaweed roll and much it rapidly without a care in the World as Alvin took a bite of his Sandwich…
'Well, Guess Johnny's Right Mermaids like Ham like that Ponyo Movie…' Alvin thought to himself just as Juliana devoured her food, She gazed upon the Fillet in her Uncle's Sandwich with awe like a Sableye to a Gemstone or even a Carbink…
She then pointed to the Sandwich while letting out a few Clicks to her Uncle… No doubt wanting the Smoke Fillet for herself as well.
"You want the Fillet do you?" Questioned Alvin as Juliana nodded in agreement,
"Look Juliana, It's my sandwich, you can't have it…It's mine…." Said Alvin in a firm tone, Which Juliana then felt a sense of upsetness upon hearing about it.
As Soon as Juliana's eyes started to tear form the request, Alvin felt a sense of guilt as the Mermaid began to squeak out more Palafin like cries, No doubt crying about it.
"Alright fine… Here's some of the fillet just this once ok? Just don't cry even more ok?" Alvin said in an exasperated tone as he tore off some of the Fillet form his Sandwich as he gave his Niece some of the Fish…
Which she soon devoured like a Pokemon would, no doubt already showing she liked the Fish as Alvin looked back with a shock look before it turned into a smile.
'Well guess that makes Juliana and Mizu different form those Animated Mermaids at least…' He thought to himself as Juliana then let out a yawn, No doubt full form her meal as she then fall asleep in the process….

Present Time, World of Pokemon, Paldea Region, Naranja Academy, Student Dorms, Juliana's Dorm, Sunset, After the Events of Area Zero:
"So… I guess that explains why you loved Ham and Smoked Fillet…" Avern admitted in shock towards Juliana as she smiled back to the Son of the Late Professor Sada.
"It's like that Anime Movie right… The one called Ponyo right? I suppose Penny would understand it better…"
"Yup!" Said Juliana with a Smile on her face as Tastu snuggled up to his Trainer/Sister on her Shoulder while Quaval and Koraidon smiled back to the Mermaid (Whom's currently in her Human form) with Mabosstiff by Avern's side. "It is that movie, it's one of my Mother's Favorite Flims as well…"
"And Yeah, Even if Veluzas freaked me out, Smoked Fillet are actually something me and My Mother love to eat whenever possible…."
"Huh, I thought mermaids would be like in those Animated Movies… The Ham I can get behind but the Smoke Fillet's an odd one….I thought Mermaids don't eat other Sea Pokemon as well and I still find it hard to take you liked Pokemon Food Kibble as well…" …" Avern questioned still showing some surprise at this when he recall how Juliana's Favourite Foods, No doubt it's surprising she managed to hid it well form others about her Mer-Diet as well….
"Well not really Avern, We're more Tribe like compared to Mermaids in Animated Material, It's not so different form the Diamond and Pearl Clans in Hisui either when we have to search for food in the Sea…" Juliana answered back to her Friend.
"And Besides, Mermaids are technically Half Human and Half Pokemon in a way….So eating other Pokemon is considered natural to us but not to our Pokemon siblings however…."
"Fair Enough about that…." Avern admitted as he then noticed a Photo of a Younger Juliana and her Mother surrounded by other Mermaids and a Few Mermans and several Mer-Children in it at a Secret Cove.
"Is this?" He questioned to his Friend whom nodded in agreement.
"Some of my Fellow Mers in my Tribe? Yeah it is…." Said Juliana as she began to recall her time with her Tribe.

When Juliana's 7 Years Old, Hoenn Route 124, Underwater:
"Mama! Mama!" Said a Young Juliana as she swam with her Mother and Aunt as they're currently just back form gathering Food for their Tribe. "How much longer are we getting back home?"
"Don't worry dear… We'll be home soon…." Said Mizu as she held some Wakame Seaweed in her hands while Athena Swam beside her Sister and Niece. "Just a little while longer…."
"But I'm hungry!" Juliana admitted to her Mother and Aunt as Athena looked back
A Mermaid with light black hair and Yellow Scales and Tail with a Lanturn Fin for her Dorsal Fin soon swam up to her, It was Kelly, One of Mizu's Friends in her Tribe.
"Hey Mizu! How are you?" She questioned as the Brown haired mer looked back to her friend.
"Doing well…How about you?" Mizu answered back as Juliana answered back as well:
"Hi Miss Kelly!" Said Juliana as she let out some more Palafin clicks as well to the Older Mermaid as well.
"Aw…You're Baby Girl's pretty Cute… So how's your Husband on the Surface doing?" She questioned as Juliana blushed at this compliment.
Thanks Kelly…And Johnny's fine… He's doing" Said Mizu to her Friend as the Brown haired Mer said back to the light Black haired mer as another Mermaid with Yellow Hair with a Pink Tail and Scales with a Gorebyss Dorsal Fin on her back as well as being accompanied by a Golduck as well.
"Hey Kelly! We better hurry up!" Said the Yellow haired Mer to her friend as she looked back to her
"Ok Sally! I'll be there!" Said Kelly to her Friend as Sally and her Golduck Brother then swam off, Which the Former turned to Mizu
"Well I better head back to the Tribe… We better get some of those Kelp for the Feast later!" Said Kelly as she swam away for Mizu and Juliana to help her friend.
"Well take care Mizu! Make sure you stay safe form the Sharpedos as well!" Said Mizu as Juliana added on with her own Take Care and Bye for the older mermaid as well
"Don't worry I will!" Said Kelly as she swam further away, which leaves Juliana and her Mother to swim back to their Tribe's Settlement (Which was a Area with a lot of Caves for the Merfolk to sleep in.
Soon after a good while however, A Green haired merman with Red Scales and Tail with a Grayados Fin on his Back and his Mate a Blond haired Mer with Purple Scales and Tail with a Dragalge Fin as her Dorsal Fin (And a Pregant Belly), as well as their Huntail and Tentacruel Siblings soon approached Mizu.
"Hey Alice, Hey Joe, How are you?" Said Mizu as the two mermaids approached the Mother and her Daughter.
"All good…." Said Joe as he notices Juliana whom smiled back to him. "I take Little Juliana doing well?"
"Hi!" Said Juliana which more or less answered the Merman's Question as he looked towards his wife as the Pregant Mer looked back to Mizu
"Hey Alice… Is the Pregancy going well?" Questioned Mizu to her Friend as Alice smiles back to her.
"Well it is…." Said Alice as the Blond Mer rubbed her belly with her offspring in it as her Tentacruel Sibling nodded back for it's possible Niece and Nephew as well. "My little Bundle of Joy is ready to come out soon….I can't wait…"
"Well I know how it felt with Juliana when I was pregnant with her… I couldn't wait for her to be born and she's the Child I always wanted as well…"
"Aw thanks Mama!" Said Juliana as she hugged her Mother as Athena gave a smirk back to her sister while Mizu smiled back to her Pokemon Sister as well.
"Oh yeah, About that Mizu? Is your Husband and his Brother keeping their word of keeping our Existance a Secret?" Joe questioned back to Mizu whom nodded back in agreement as his Huntail gave an agreeing nod as well.
"Don't worry he does…." Said Mizu as she smiled back to her as Juliana looked back to the Mer Couple as well. "Alvin's still reluctant at times but neither he nor Johnny are betraying their Vow to keep our existence a Secret…." Mizu answered back to them.
"But we better get going now… We got to get the Wakame Seaweed to the Elders soon at least… See Ya!" Mizu continued before smiling back to the Mer-Couple as well.
"See you soon Mr. Joe and Mrs. Alice!" Said Juliana as she and her Mother swam away as Joe and Alice watched the Two Scarlet Mermaids swam away.

"So apparently, Mermaid and Human Marriages aren't as uncommon in your Tribe then…" Avern added on as Juliana blushed at that…
"Well, Mermaids are often pretty flirty as I mentioned before… but we have to be careful to avoid falling in love with Hunters however… But Mers with a Human Father aren't treated any differently form Mers who's parents are both Mermaids as well…." Juliana admitted with a smile on her face as Contrary to her Uncle's Worries of her being branded a Freak by her Tribe, She wasn't treated differently because her Father was a Human since Some Mermaids ventured to the Surface to find love as well.
"I See…." Said Avern before he notices a Small picture of Juliana with her Mother, Father, Uncle and their pokemon at a Department Store, No doubt another Photo.
"Oh Avern, That one was one of the rare times my Dad was free form work and was able to hang out with my Mother and Uncle as well…." Said Juliana with a smile on her face as she recalled a time she was able to spend time with her parents….
(XXXX)
When Juliana's 9 Years Old, Hoenn Region, Lilycove City, Department Store:
"They Should be here soon…." Said Mizu to her Daughter as the two Mermaids and Athena the Milotic left the Sea and just changed back into Humans when they exited the sea with the Former waiting for her husband and her Daughter being excited for her Husband as well
"Well I can't wait for Papa to be here!" Said Juliana as she smiled back to her mother and Aunt as Athena smiled back to her.
"(Don't worry Juliana, They'll be here…)" Said Athena just as a Peliper/Skarmory Taxi arrived with Two Brown Haired humans exiting form the Carriage of it.
"Papa! Uncle Alvin!" Said Juliana as she hugged her Father whom smiled back to her as Mizu approached her Mate/Husband with a smile.
"Shall we get going Johnny?" Said Mizu as her Husband smiled back to her.
"Indeed… Let's go…." Said Johnny as he held Juliana in his Hands as they, Mizu, Alvin arrived at Lilycove Deparment Store….
Which soon the Group ventured into it with Mizu and Juliana taking rather interesting approaches to various things in the Mall
"You Sure they won't get exposed like this?" Questioned Alvin as he and his brother dranks some Sodas while the Two Mermaids of their Family are currently looking at Water Pokemon and anything related to them as Athena followed her Sister and Niece around as well….
"Come On Bro! I won't take long at least…." Said Johnny to his more reluctant older brother as the two of them looked back to the Former's Wife and Daughter. "Besides, It should be fine at least.
Normally, Human girls would rather play with Dolls and Dress Up (With Tomboys often preferring to be considered one of the Boys and check out stuff they like), Juliana was more curious about the Water Pokemon Plushes, Almost questioning if they're as real as the Pokemon in the Sea She's friends with…
And for a Young Mermaid like Juliana, She was having fun even if the Plushes aren't talking like she hopped for….
"You were saying Johnny?" Alvin questioned as he looked at the Mermaid diving into a Pool of Plushes in the Mall.
"Well give them some time… We shouldn't get banned like this at least…." Laughed Johnny off as he smiled to his Child as he rushed to Mizu to help her out with his Wife as Juliana continued to try to swim with the Plushes (With the Relief that there's no Body of Water or the Sprinkles not going off and Exposing the Two Mermaids's true identities as well).
(XXX)
The Moment he heard about Juliana's Childhood Memory about the times she was able to spend time with her Busy with work Father, Avern felt a sense of sadness… and minor jealously of what could have been with his own Parents…
Even without her Obession of the Paradox Pokemon, Sada was way too into her work to even pay attention to him, Not even when he caught Mabosstiff for the first time as a Maschiff…
And as for his Father? He Just vanished without a word (The Moment he was born no less according to his Mother), Even the Few times he interacted with his Mother that she never mentioned her husband, simply being dismissive of him without a word and somehow, this lead to her deeper down her obsession before Avern could even reason with her and eventually forced to take care of himself and Mabosstiff before the attack via the Strange Paradox Pokemon that almost fatally wounded the latter.
Sure, He now has Closure on his Mother and Mabostiff's alive now… but he still feels a sense of jealously whenever he hears about how other People had it easy with their Families like Nemona whom despite also having parents who aren't there for her
"Avern! Are you ok?" Juliana questioned with Concern towards the upperclass student before he realized he made the Mermaid worried for him as Koraidon looked back in conern.
"…I'm fine…" Avern answered back to Juliana as he quickly tries to put his mind off of thinking of his Late Mother for his Friend's Sake. "Don't worry about it…"
"…Ok then…" Juliana said back in conern, No doubt it's best to not dwell on it as she looked to a Fourth Photo with her and Two Brown Haired Mers in Pink and Blue Tails with Alomomola Dorsal Fins with her in a photo…
"And this photo I got some good Memories about as well…."

When Juliana's 11 Years Old, Unova Region, Undella Bay:
The Abyssal Ruins were considered a place of mystery to both Humans and Merfolk, as no one knows how it came to be… only being around when the Original Dragon was around before it was separated into Reshriam, Zekrom and Kyurem which Sinnoh Champion (And Resident Goddess by her Fans) Cynthia was often Curious about their Origin and Possible Connection to Arceus when People found Various Plates connected to the God of the Pokemon World in the Ruins for those brave enough to venture down there for the treasures below.
But those aren't the Concerns for Two young Mermaids as they're currently exploring sunken Ruins of various Shipwrecks of old playing explorers to search in the wrecks like a Certain Red Haired Movie form one of the Most Famous Mermaid Movies in existence….
"Come on Juliana! There has to be something in there!" Said Rosa as the Pink Scaled Mer looked to her Scarlet scaled Friend as the two of them are currently searching in the Wreck for Treasures….
"Well Rosa, I think this place may not have them… but we should be able to find some stuff at least in the next room…Maybe we could find some Ancient Water Pokemon Stuff at least…" Said Juliana as she looked back to her Friend.
"Well that'll work, Let's go!" Said Rosa as she and Juliana swam deeper into the Sunken Ship in the Hopes of Finding a relic of their own…
Despite looking around the Ship however, Neither Juliana nor Rosa has encountered a Relic that they could add to their Collection (Rosa was hopping to find an Ancient Fork to see if it's like a Dingerhopper while Juliana was more interested in whatever.
"Still no luck…." Signed Rosa as frustrated Palafin clicks escaped her mouth while Juliana comforted her friend about it….
"Hey Don't worry Rosa! We'll find something, I Promised…." Said Juliana as Alomola Fin Mermaid smiled back to her Palafin fin Friend.
But before anything else could be said between them, a Sudden scrowl suddenly filled the Room much to both Mer-Girls concern as both of them looked in fear.
"Is that?" Said Rosa in fear as Juliana nodded back knowing what it was…
"Yup… it is…" Wimpered Juliana in agreement, as she huddled to her Friend as well.
To Juliana and Rosa's Surprise, There was a Sharpedo as the Brutal Shark Pokemon lunged towards the two.
"RUN!" Yelled Juliana as she and Rosa swam around the Ship in fear, no doubt not wanting to become Dinner for the Shark whom vicously chased the Girls around…
Which went on for a while until a Familiar voice yelled out a Command.
"Athena! Use Moonblast!"
A Sudden Blast of Moon Energy soon blasted the Sharpedo far away much to Juliana and Rosa's Relief.
Their Savior was Athena in her Mega Evolution Form which was a More Draconic Like Milotic with her Scales being a More Virbant colour, her Fins showing the Colours of the Rainbow and even a shiny Pearl in her Forehead as well with her Feelers being a Scarlet Red hue as well.
"Thanks Athena!" Said Juliana as she and Rosa noticed more Mermaids swimming towards her and her Friend.
"Are you Two ok?" Said Mizu as she swam with her Sister, Rosa's Mom and Nate whom looked back to her Daughter as Athena returned to normal form her Mega Evolution.
"Sorry Mom… We explored the Sunken Ship… And we shouldn't have swam away form you, Rosa's Mom or Nate…." Juliana answered back to her Mom as Rosa did the Same with her's and her older twin brother.
"Don't worry dears… You're all safe and that what's matters the most….Plus you and Rosa didn't went to the Abysal Ruins at least…" Said Mizu as she hugged her Daughter while Rosa's Mother and Brother did the Same as well…
"Thanks Mom…." Said Juliana with a Smile on her face, Happy she's not grounded at least with Rosa's happy for the same as well….
(XXX)
"Well you got quite the Life in Hoenn…" Said Avern as Juliana smiled to him.
"Yeah, I was initially upset to move to Paldea but after this? I think I'm gotten some good memories here as well…"
"And Don't worry Avern, I still do Treasure you, Nemona and Penny at least like with Nate and Rosa…." Juliana answered back to Avern whom smiled back to her as he felt a sense of blushing on his checks with Juliana doing the same as well….
It's clear to Avern that while Juliana has her own Treasures/Memories of her life in Hoenn and Unova, It's clear that he, Nemona and Penny are just as important to her as well….
"…Thanks Juliana…To be honest, I may need some time for myself after what happened in Area Zero…" He continued as he held a bunch of Journals… The Same ones found in the Research Stations of Area Zero that Juliana took for Avern and gave to him shortly after the Time Machine's Destruction and AI Sada's Sacrifice.
"I'll be a while but I figured some soul searching would be good at least…"
There was even a feeling a sense of sadness and Empathy being felt by Juliana when she laid her eyes on the fourth Journal, No doubt the words in it still hurts Avern when he laid eyes on it the First time about his Parents…and a Rather Daunting Sentace written in it:
'That man walked out not long after the boy was born'
"…Thanks…" Avern said afterwards as he and Mabostiff left the Room as Juliana remained slient with Koraidon, Quaval and Tastu…
It's only been a while but Juliana still felt strong feelings for Avern and while it's not Comsuming her Life… Her Crush for him is still stronger then one ma
'Well maybe some time with Mom in our Mermaid Forms would be good right now…' Juliana thought to herself to as she dialed her Mother on her Rotom Phone to call her up to see if she's free for a Swim together….
"Hey Mom… Hello? Are you free?" She Questioned as her Mother appeared on Screen with Athena by her side.

Meanwhile at Alfornada, Coastline:
"Well, The Coast is clear Tulip…." Said Dendre as she looked around the shore before a Familiar Face emerged form the Sea.
It was Tulip but instead of a Fancy Dress and Clothes… The Psychic Gym Leader was a Mermaid with Pink Scales and Tail with a Black Hue to her Fins with a Dorsal Fin of a Gorebyss's Fin behind her back.
"Still, I'm surprise you managed to handle all of your Work Appointments and stuff… and have time to swim in your True Self Tulip…." Said Dendre to her childhood Friend whom smiled back in agreement.
"Well if Diantha can handle a similar schedule plus being Kalos's Champion… I can do the same…" Said the ESP user whom smiled back to her.
"Yeah.. And Truth be told Tulip...I been dying to take a Swim with you as a Couple..." Dendre added on to her Childhood Friend. "We know each other for so long, I think your Tribe won't mind if I date you since we're practically friends since we first met here!"
"Dendre… You and I may not be the Same Species but are you that interested in become a Couple Soon?" Said Tulip in concern as the Teacher smiled back to her Model mermaid Friend as her response. "It's a little sudden if you ask me..."
"Who Cares about that Tulip? Just because you're a Mermaid and I'm a Human doesn't mean we can date!" Dendra exclaims as she smiled back to her Childhood Friend with a Smile before diving in…
"Besides, I know Hassel and Brassius have a thing for each other as well…. So we're not alone about this..." She continued as she then kissed her friend on the Lips, Much to the two's amusment as the Black Hue on Tulip's Tail Fins sparkle even more as well.
"Well Let's go…." Said Tulip as she and Dendre swam into the Ocean for a While….Another Love between a Mermaid and a Human emerging as well...
(XXXX)
Author's Note:
Well let's get the Cat out of the Bag First, Tulip being a Mermaid like Juliana, her Mother and Rika (Geeta's a Cecaelia and Nemona and Avern's Mer-Forms are Temporary) in my Mermaid!Juliana Fics (Same with Diantha as well via Tulip and Dendre's Conversation about the Former's Schedule)
It's a Random Idea I had and One of Honey Cake's Original Ideas where Dendre and Tulip would be involved and eating on of Katy's Honey Cakes would temporary turn them into a Mienshao and Gardevior respectively…
But they're cut due to me wanting to finish Story 8 faster at least (Insert Dexit Joke here) with Story 9 (Bubbles and Croaks) being made to make up for it at least.
And Yes, Dendre and Tulip are Lesbians here (But fear not, Their Sexuality and Gender aren't their only defining personality Trait at least)
And Before you ask, Tulip's mention about Diantha being a Mermaid means Yes, Kalos Does have Mermaids as well, Same with Alola even if there's no Merfolk form it shown here…
(Also First Time I mentioned Turo in my Stories since my Mermaid!Juliana Stories follow Scarlet's Story, It's easy to headcanon the other Professor being MIA (Remember, The Area Zero Journels imply the Other Professor became a Deadbeat the Moment Avern was born) or even someone that wasn't as famous so while Avern knows about Turo, He doesn't know where he went before he vanished off the face of the earth and lead to Sada's Obession getting herself killed by the Aggressive Koraidon)
Hope I didn't make Avern OOC here! I'm mostly playing off how he's still getting used to Juliana being a Mermaid and how they're different form say Disney's Take on them and how they're more inline with the Diamond and Pearl Clans of Hisui instead of a Kingdom like Atlantica….
(Ok, I'm not sure if the Diamond and Pearl Clans actually hunted Pokemon for meat or not but since they're in a more hostile environment, I can see them doing so… Plus, I suppose since Mermaids are essentially Pokemon/Human Hybrids, Eating Pokemon does make sense since they're considered Prey themselves to carnivorous Pokemon like Veluza and Sharpedos…Hope this make sense to you at least)
(XXX)
For the Childhood Scenes, I wanted to focus on an Aspect of Juliana's Childhood in a way:
-Her Relationship with her Uncle Alvin (whom's trying to hid his frustrations of his Brother (Johnny) marrying a Mermaid and still reluctant to accept her as his Niece) when she was 4 Years old
-Her Relationships with her Mer Tribe before she moved away to Paldea with her Mother due to the Primal Groudon/Primal Kyogre Incident
-She spending time with her Parents and Uncle when her Dad's not at work in Lilycove (A Day out at least)
-A Childhood Adventure She had with Nate and Rosa (With Juliana Being Close to them as well) in the Undella Bay ala Ariel's Search for Human Stuff in the First Act of the Little Mermaid.
It's not the most complex stuff but I do hope I did it Justice at least…
Similarly, The Stuff about Juliana loving to eat Ham is inspired by Ponyo (One of Miyazaki's Flims form Studio Ghibli) and She and Her Mother eating Pokemon is a nod to Blue Glass Spear's United Destiny: The Hero and the Hybrid Story where Serena's a Pokemon Hybrid and loves to eat Pokemon Food…
And Since my Mermaids are considered Pokemon/Human Hybrids, They're also viable for Pokemon Food at least…
Also Juliana's Child/Baby Design (Feel Free to correct me on this but Juliana's around 13/15 in the Present time of my Mermaid!Fics of her) is based on this Pixiv Fanart of her with Giacomo.
Here are the Links to them:

Yup, Proper Debut of my Mega Milotic I sort of Foreshadowed in my Scarlet Scales, Crimson Love as well!
Here's it's Stats if you're Curious:
Mega Milotic
Water/Dragon
Regal Presence-The foe's Special Attack and Attack is lowered by 1 stage when the user is sent out/Mega Evolves, Likewise, the user will be immune to the Foes' Priority Moves as well.
Stats (Non Mega): 95/60/79/100/125/81
Stats (Mega): 95/60/79/155/130/121
Dex Entry: Despite being a Draconic Monster, Mega Milotic is one of the Most Graceful Pokemon in Existance, It's presence can be mistaken for a Fairy Type's due to it's Aura and less Violent nature compared to other Mega Evolutions... It's also one of the New Things that can halt the Rampage of a Mega Grayados as well...
(Milotic learns Earth Power, Energy Ball, Thunderbolt, Flash Cannon, Dazzling Gleam and Calm Mind for it's New Mega Evolution)
And Before you ask, Yeah Mermaids are considered prey to Carnivorous Sea Pokemon like Sharpedo and Veluza… but Said Carnivores won't attack a Mer who's dorsal fin is considered one of their own (So Sharpedos and Veluza won't attack a Mer with a Sharpedo Fin unless Ordered by another Pokemon (Like the Titan Tastugiri in Scarlet Scales, Crimson Love) if you're curious)
Similarly, The presence of the Skamory/Peliper Taxi is meant for non Competitive Trainers at least to travel to other Regions for those whom don't get Fly TMs or Hidden Moves… It's more World Building Stuff for those that aren't competitive Trainers like Alvin and Johnny at least.
For the Other Merfolks in Juliana's Tribe, They're based on Other Trainers like Ace Trainers, Beauties and Parasol Girls, Same with the ones with Nate and Rosa's Tribe…
And For those Curious, Here's what Each of the Other Mers are based on:
-Kelly (ORAS Parasol Lady)
-Sally (ORAS Lady)
-Joe (ORAS Ace Trainer)
-Alice (XY Ace Trainer)
It's a Minor thing and Yes, Male Mers are Rare so it's not uncommon for Female Mermaids to Mate with Humans like Juliana's Parents do… (But however, Female Mers can mate with One Another to produce Children (Or even Human Females like Dendre for Tulip) but it's typically perfered for them to mate with Other Mermans and Humans Males however…)
(XXXX)
I do want to explore some of the Mermaid Culture as well…So here's a Brief Little Rundown on the Four Mermaid Regional Tribes (The Ones I made so far):
-Alolan Mers are very Traditionalistic and very Stalwart of the Old Ways of Life
-Unovan Mers (Nate and Rosa) are the Explorer Types and are basically like Ariel in a way
-Hoennian Mers (Juliana and her Mother) are the Closest to the Sea due to Kyogre and are the best Swimmers of the Merfolk

However, Paldean Merfolk can also fall into Explorer Types as well with their Explorer Nature being for Knowledge instead of Adventure at least and Hoennian Mers like Juliana are closer to Water Types compared to their Other Regional Counterparts due to Kyogre's Influence and the stronger amounts of Infinity Energy present in Hoenn as well as the Natural Energy Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre Fight over...
It's not much but I got ideas to explore with this in the Future soon…
