Shima…that is the next destination for Oshawott on his grand journey across Mie Prefecture. However, this is no normal area in Mie. As it was here that the most important cultivation came about that brought prosperity to this land.

Oshawott looked around in awe as he saw in a lot of stands, pearls being sold off either as jewelry or just by themselves.

"Oh yeah...I think Swan mentioned somewhere in Japan where oysters were cultivated and oysters carry pearls." Oshawott said before an idea came to him. "Swan works hard to make sure everyone on the team is well taken care of. So…as thanks…I'll get her enough pearls for a necklace!" he declared.

Oshawott didn't waste any time as he ran to the closest bay he could find and jumped right on into it, searching for an oyster he could pry open.

"Let's see…oyster…oyster…ah!" Oshawott said spotting a blue oyster. "Come to papa!" he said swimming right towards it as he started to pry it open. "Okay…and out comes the…huh?" Oshawott said as he saw that the pearl had a face.

"Do you mind?" they asked as Oshawott quickly backed off.

"Talking pearl!" Oshawott exclaimed.

"Fraid not. I'm just a Clamperl who was sleeping here." they said.

"Oh…sorry about that." Oshawott said.

"Its fine. Just so hard to find a quiet place to sleep with all this cultivation going on around." Clamperl said.

"If you want, I know a place where you could get some peach and quiet." Oshawott said. "Its called Paradise."

"Paradise huh?" Clamperl pondered for a bit. "Sounds interesting. I think I'll take you up on that."

"Great. So…know where I can find some…actual pearls?" Oshawott asked.

"Oh…right down there." Clamperl said looking to a small chasm that was filled with them. "Yeah. One diver accidentally dropped a whole bunch of them down here awhile back. And I'm been watching over them."

Oshawott was in total awe at all the pearls as he dove in to collect them. He had found a number of presents for not just Swan but for a lot of the girls he knew.
