Like every other Sunday afternoon, Zaurack took his Pokemon and headed to the sea; it was their surfing day. As usual, he navigated to his extremely secret less-populated shore; and to his surprise, this shore held another surprise for him this Sunday. That… looks like a tiny island, he thought to himself, as he squinted his eyes towards what looked like a small mound a little further into the sea. “I’ve never seen that before… Let’s go check it out, Kira,” he says. Immediately after, he jumps into the sea while on top of the surf board and Kira follows, pushing the board while swimming.

It didn’t take too long to reach the island. The very small island had something that looked like an entrance to a cave. Despite the inside of the cave being extremely dark, Zaurack decided to walk in bravely; a foolish move that he regretted immediately as he found himself falling into a seemingly endless pit. A few seconds down the hole, and suddenly his surroundings lit up and he found himself in a mildly lit marsh that had pillars of water pouring down from the ceiling from similar holes. Woah!

While he did enjoy the view and was amazed that such a thing existed underwater, he was in no position to continue doing so. He was rapidly approaching the ground and he had no flying Pokemon to save him. Seeing no other option, he closed his eyes shut and braced for impact. But the impact never came; instead he felt something smooth and soft under him that decelerated his fall. When he opened his eyes, he found a trio of Mantyke under him saving him from the fall and dropping him gently on the floor. Extremely grateful to the baby kite Pokemon, Zaurack let out a heavy sigh of relief and thanked the Pokemon.

While two of the Mantyke left him immediately after the incident, one came close to him and dropped what looked like a fragment of a broken shiny stone on his lap. Immediately after, it went onto start poking at his swimming trunks’ pockets repetitively. Assuming the Mantyke wanted some food, Zaurack pulled out the Pokemon treat he had in his pocket, but the Mantyke shook her head and continued poking his pockets. Confused as to what the Pokemon wanted, Zaurack decided to turn both his pockets out and show there was nothing else inside. Seeing that the pockets were empty, the Mantyke made a terribly sad face, picked up the fragment from his lap and began flying away slowly. “Hey… Wait! You want more fragments like that?” Zaurack asked, taking a wild guess at this point. The Mantyke immediately turned around and nodded vigorously. “Let me help you find it… It's the least I can do to return the favor!” he suggested. The Mantyke was delighted by the proposition and made a happy dance around him. Petting the Mantyke, Zaurack fed the Pokemon treat to it, which it ate happily this time.

“Umm… Do you have any idea where we can begin searching?” Zaurack asked, scratching his head. The Mantyke nodded confidently and pointed in a direction with both of its antennae. “Alright then, lead the way!”
