• 0:00
  SPEAKER_00: In Valora, where steel and spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_00: With friends by his side and courage in his heart, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
• 0:14
  SPEAKER_00: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_00: The wide river that had carried Forgemont's barges spilled out into a vast inland sea, so big that the far shore was hidden by mist.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: Fishing boats rocked on the water, their sails snapping in the wind, and the air smelled of salt and smoke.
• 0:58
  SPEAKER_00: Lakevale City clung to the shoreline like it had been built to face storms.
• 1:03
  SPEAKER_00: Its houses were strong and low, its streets wet with spray from the waves that crashed against the stone piers.
• 1:10
  SPEAKER_00: Children in rubber boots ran between stalls, selling nets, seashell charms, and fresh fish.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_00: Caden, Libby, and Crush stood on the dock, staring out at the choppy waters.
• 1:22
  SPEAKER_00: Evie pressed against Caden's leg, fur ruffling in the sharp breeze, while Squirtles splashed happily in the puddles.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: It's huge Caden breathed.
• 1:35
  SPEAKER_02: Bigger than any lake I've ever seen.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_00: Libby smirked.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: That's because it's not a lake.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_02: It's a sea pretending to be one.
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_00: Crush crossed his arms, studying the waves.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: And the sea has a gym leader waiting for us.
• 1:48
  SPEAKER_00: The trio followed a boardwalk lined with boats until they reached the Lakeville Gym.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: It wasn't a towering building like Forgemont's Mill.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: It was a weathered boathouse with its doors thrown wide, the floor half open to the water.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: Nets and ropes hung from hooks, and you could hear the waves slapping underneath.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_00: At the far end, standing like a captain at the helm, was Marina, the gym leader.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: Her long coat was trimmed with white fur, and her skin was bronzed from years under the sun.
• 2:17
  SPEAKER_00: She leaned on a harpoon-shaped staff, her eyes sharp as the sea itself.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: You three must be the trainers travelling through Valora, she said, her voice like a rolling surf.
• 2:27
  SPEAKER_02: I've heard of you already.
• 2:28
  SPEAKER_02: But if you want a badge, you'll need to prove you can stand against wind, water, and ice alike.
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_00: Caden swallowed.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: Evie glanced up at him, ready.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: We'll be back tomorrow.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: Crush said, calm and sure.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: Today we train.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: Marina nodded, a small smile tugging at her lips.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: Smart choice.
• 2:46
  SPEAKER_02: The lake will test you before I can even lift a hand.
• 2:50
  SPEAKER_00: That afternoon, the trio explored the edge of town searching for a place to train.
• 2:55
  SPEAKER_00: Storm clouds gathered over the water, sending a cold mist rolling through the grassy hills nearby.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_00: That was when Caden noticed the wool.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_00: A small flock of Mareep grazed at the edge of the hills, their coats glowing faintly with static in the stormy air.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_00: Each crackle of lightning above made their wool shine brighter, like lanterns in the mist.
• 3:16
  SPEAKER_00: Caden stopped in his tracks.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_01: Whoa! They're they're beautiful and fluffy.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: Libby said with a smile.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_00: Evie barked, ears up.
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_00: She could feel the electricity dancing in the air.
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: One Marib stood apart from the others, its wool puffed even bigger than the rest, sparks popping wildly.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_00: When it spotted the trainers, it stamped its hooves, not with fear, but with challenge.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Libby grinned.
• 3:44
  SPEAKER_02: Looks like that one wants to test you.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's heart raced.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_02: Alright, Evie, let's go.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_00: The battle was quick but fierce.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_00: Marie fired bolts of electricity into the ground, leaving blackened marks on the grass.
• 3:58
  SPEAKER_00: Evie darted around with quick attack, circling fast, her fur bristling from the static.
• 4:04
  SPEAKER_00: But when Caden shouted Jackle! Something unexpected happened.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_00: Evie leapt high, her tail glowing suddenly, brightly, shining silver like polished steel.
• 4:15
  SPEAKER_00: She spun, slamming Mareep with the shining tail in a move Caden had never seen before.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: The shock sent Mareep tumbling back into the wet grass.
• 4:24
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's eyes went wide.
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_01: What was that?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: Evie, did you just Libby's jaw dropped.
• 4:32
  SPEAKER_02: That was Iron Tail, but Evie can't usually do that, can it?
• 4:38
  SPEAKER_00: Crush folded his arms, thoughtful.
• 4:40
  SPEAKER_02: Not normally.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: She's stronger than she looks.
• 4:43
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe even different from most Evie.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: Caden blinked at Evie, who landed gracefully, tail still faintly glowing before the light faded.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_00: She barked proudly, eyes shining.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_00: Caden smiled, heart pounding.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: You just keep surprising me.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Let's finish this.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_00: He tossed a pokeyball, and Mareep was caught in a flash.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_00: The ball shook once, twice, then clicked shut.
• 5:07
  SPEAKER_00: Caden picked it up, still staring at Evie in wonder.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome to the team, Mareep, and Evie.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: Whatever that was, I think you're just getting started.
• 5:16
  SPEAKER_00: Back at camp that evening, Caden let Mareep out by the fire.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_00: The little sheep Pokemon shook its wool, sending harmless sparks flying.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_00: Evie and Gibble circled curiously, sniffing and growling.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_00: Let's see what you can do, Caden encouraged.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_00: Mareep's wool glowed brighter.
• 5:34
  SPEAKER_00: With a sharp bleat, it released a ripple of electricity that rolled across the ground in a wave of light.
• 5:40
  SPEAKER_00: A nearby log crackled and stiffened with static, freezing in place.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_00: Libby's eyes widened.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: That was Thunder Wave.
• 5:48
  SPEAKER_00: Crush nodded.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: A perfect move against fast opponents.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_02: That will definitely be useful in Marina's gym.
• 5:54
  SPEAKER_00: Caden knelt by Mareep, who looked proud of itself.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: That's amazing.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna help our team so much.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_00: Evie nuzzled Mareep, sparks jumping between them until both squeaked and backed away, shaking off the shock.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: The trio left, the fire warm against the cool sea wind.
• 6:12
  SPEAKER_00: That night, the trio camped along the rocky edge of Lake Bale's shore.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_00: The air carried the scent of brine and the crash of distant waves.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_00: Their fire crackled low as they prepared for tomorrow's battle, polishing pokeyballs and reviewing notes from the day.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: Evie's ears twitched, and she yipped suddenly, pawing at Caden's leg.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: She barked again, tugging at his pants with urgency.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: What is it, girl?
• 6:36
  SPEAKER_00: Caden asked, startled.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_00: Following her gaze, they spotted a small figure at the water's edge, a young girl crouched, collecting shells and shiny rocks from the shoreline.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: At first it seemed innocent enough, until her foot slipped on the wet stones.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_00: With a startled cry, she toppled into the crashing waves.
• 6:56
  SPEAKER_00: Libby shot to her feet.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_02: Caden, she's in the water!
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: Without hesitation, Caden and Libby dove in.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: Evie barking from the shore.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: Squirtle splashed after them, cutting through the waves with practiced strokes.
• 7:09
  SPEAKER_00: Machop, rope! Crush barked, sprinting to a nearby dock.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: He and Machop hauled free a thick coil of mooring rope.
• 7:17
  SPEAKER_00: With a heavy swing, Crush hurled the line out across the water.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: Grab on, he shouted.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: Caden's arms strained as he kept the girl afloat.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Libby swam alongside Squirtle, helping to guide them.
• 7:31
  SPEAKER_00: Together they latched onto the rope.
• 7:33
  SPEAKER_00: Crush and Machop dug in, muscles bulging as they hauled their friends back to safety.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_00: The Ford tumbled back onto the rocky bank, dripping and breathless.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: The little girl coughed up a mouthful of lake water, then blinked wide eyes at her rescuers.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: Papa, she cried, just as a weathered fisherman came running down the dock.
• 7:54
  SPEAKER_00: Relief flooded his face as he scooped his daughter into his arms.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_00: My girl, thank goodness you're safe, he whispered, before turning to the trio.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know how to thank you.
• 8:04
  SPEAKER_00: You saved her.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_00: Caden shook his head, brushing water from his hair.
• 8:08
  SPEAKER_01: We just did what anyone would do.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_00: The fisherman's eyes softened.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_00: Come, share dinner with us tonight.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: It's the least we can do.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: Later, as the firelight flickered around a warm meal, the fisherman placed a sturdy rod into Caden's hands.
• 8:22
  SPEAKER_00: For you and that Evie of yours, he said, a proper fishing rod, may it bring you fortune on your journey.
• 8:29
  SPEAKER_00: Caden stared at the gift, humbled.
• 8:32
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_01: I'll put it to good use.
• 8:35
  SPEAKER_00: Evie barked proudly, her tail sweeping the ground as if she already knew what was to come.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_00: As the storm rolled in from the sea, the three friends stared out at the waves crashing against the pier.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: The wind howled, and far out in the water, a lapros shaped silhouette rose and vanished in the mist.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: Marina's partner, Crush murmured.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: Lapras, Caden said quietly.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_01: If that's what we're up against, we have to use everything we've got.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: Evie, Gibble, Mareep, and Squirtle gathered close, their eyes catching the firelight.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: For a moment all six Pokemon seemed to share the same thought.
• 9:12
  SPEAKER_00: Tomorrow would be a trial like no other.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: And so, with thunder rumbling and the scent of salt thick in the air, Caden and his friends prepared for their next great test.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_00: From steel to storm, a new trial begins, and the waves of Lake Vale are waiting for the city.
