"Mana~ Mana~ Phio~~ Phio~~"
The night was clear, the stars sparse.
Bright moonlight spread across the sea, and rippling waves carried a faint salty tang.
A massive Wailord floated on the surface, stirring gentle swells that broke against its body into crystalline spray, reflecting the thin halo around the moon.
On Wailord's back, Manaphy happily hummed a melodious tune.
All the Water-type Pokémon in the surrounding waters were drawn in by its song, gathering around the enormous Wailord.
Every now and then, several Mantine leaped from the water, while Dewgong surfaced, splashing up tiny sprays.
And beside Manaphy,

Little Vulpix, its whole body glittering, stayed close beside Sylveon. Its tail swayed back and forth, scattering specks of snowy crystal light that made Sylveon seem even more dreamlike and lovely.

It clung tightly to Latios's back as he skimmed swiftly over the water's surface.
The little one's excitement and joy drew even more enthusiastic welcomes from the Water-type Pokémon lingering beside Wailord, as though they were welcoming their new king.
Latios smiled as
