  Speaker 1: The royal carriage rolled smoothly along the dirt path, heading
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: back to the safe, brightly lit castle. Inside sat Princess Amara.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Unlike most royalty, Amara didn't carry a heavy golden scepter.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: She carried Pokeballs, and her most trusted confidant was the
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: pink and cream-colored Adino, sitting happily by her side. They
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: were passing the edge of the infamous Ilex Forest. Known
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: throughout the Johto region, The Ilex Forest was a place
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: where the ancient tree canopy was so incredibly thick that
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: daylight never reached the ground. It was a place of
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: perpetual twilight, famous for spooky ghost stories and shifting shadows. Suddenly,
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: Audino's large, sensitive ears twitched. It pressed its face against
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the carriage window, letting out a highly concerned, urgent cry.'
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Stop the carriage!' Amara ordered instantly. She opened the door
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: before the wheels had even fully stopped turning. Oddno, what
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: is it? What do you hear? Audino pointed a small
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: hand directly into the pitch-black tree line of the forest.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: To human ears, there was nothing but the rustling of leaves.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: But with its incredible hearing, Audino had picked up a faint,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: trembling sound. Someone was crying in the dark. For a princess,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the royal protocol was to return to the castle and
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: send the guards. But for a Pokémon trainer, the only
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: protocol was to help those in need. Amara pulled her
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: heavy emerald cape over her shoulders and grabbed a small,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: glowing luminescent crystal from her travel bag. We have to help,
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: Amara declared, her eyes filled with determination. Lead the way, Audino! Together,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the princess and the healer Pokemon rushed past the tree
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: line and stepped into the pitch black woods. The air
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: immediately grew freezing cold. The shadows stretched and twisted around them,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: taking on the shapes of towering giants and lurking monsters.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Every snap of a twig beneath Amara's boots echoed loudly
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: in the heavy silence. It felt exactly like walking into
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a spooky episode of a television show, but Amara focused
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: on Audino, who was carefully tracking the sad, frightened echoes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: They navigated through twisted roots and dense bushes for what
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: felt like hours. Finally, they reached a small, rocky clearing.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: The crying was much louder now, mixed with the distinct
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: sound of rattling metal. Amara held up her glowing crystal,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: cutting through the thick darkness. The soft blue light revealed
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a heartbreaking scene. Sitting in the dirt, trapped inside a heavy,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: rusted iron cage, was a tiny Cyndaquil. This wasn't an
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: ordinary trap. Amara recognized the cruel, blocky design and the
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: faded red R painted on the rusted metal. It was
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: an old, forgotten trap, left behind years ago by the
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: villainous Team Rocket. The trap had been sitting open and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: broken for years, but the door had somehow swung shut
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: and jammed tight. Cyndaquil was terrified. It was curled into
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a tight little ball, trembling uncontrollably. For a fire-type Pokemon,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Cyndaquil's back should have been roaring with warm, bright flames.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: But the little creature was so consumed by fear that
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: its fire had completely gone out. leaving it freezing in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: the cold night air. Amara immediately knelt beside the rusted cage. Oh,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: you poor little one, she cooed gently. How did you
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: end up in this awful thing? Audino stepped forward, its
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: ears drooping in deep sympathy. It communicated softly with the
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: trembling Pokemon. Through Audino's translation, Amara quickly understood the story.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Cyndaquil hadn't wandered into the team rocket trap by accident.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: A trio of mischievous ghastly had been playing a very
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: cruel prank. They had chased the little fire mouse through
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the dark forest, making terrifying faces and spooky noises, driving
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the panicked Cyndaquil right into the old metal cage before
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: slamming the heavy door shut and floating away, laughing into
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: the night. Now, trapped in the pitch black, every shadow
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: looked like a returning ghost to the frightened Cyndaquil. Those
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: ghastly were very mean to do that to you, Amara said,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: her voice dripping with compassion. But you don't have to
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: be afraid anymore. We are right here, and we are
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: going to get you out. Amara examined the cage. The
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: locking mechanism was completely rusted through. It didn't need a key.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: It just needed a little bit of leverage. She wedged
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a sturdy fallen branch into the door's hinge. With a
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: determined push from the princess and a helpful tug from Audino,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: the old rusted metal groaned loudly and snapped. The heavy
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: door swung open. Cyndaquil was free! But the little Pokemon
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: didn't move. It looked out into the vast, dark forest,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: its eyes wide with absolute terror. The trees still looked
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: like monsters. The whispering wind still sounded like ghosts. Even
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: though the cage was open, Cyndaquil was still trapped by
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: its own fear of the dark. Amara didn't try to
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: pull the Pokemon out. As a trainer, she knew that
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: forcing a Pokemon to be brave never worked. They had
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: to find their own courage. Instead, she gathered her emerald
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: velvet cape and sat down right in the dirt, perfectly
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: eye-level with the frightened creature. She turned off her glowing crystal,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: plunging them back into the near darkness. Will Princess Amara
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: be able to help the terrified Cyndaquil overcome its fear
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: of the dark? Find out in the full relaxing bedtime episode.
