"Mother always told us lots of stories too!! About all the regions in the world and the Pokemon there and the ocean and our founder Akua and... well, I think you get it, right?"
"You know, in my tribe, all of the male Primarina are warriors. They spend all their time protecting the tribe from lots of scary Pokemon and the moving islands that humans like to ride on and stuff, so they don't spend a lot of time with the Popplio or Brionne. That's left to the female Primarina of our tribe, so that should show just how much Mother did for both me and Kai.
"She would bring us food, taught us how to swim, listened to us when we were sad or scared, played with us and helped us find treasures and other shiny things underwater or on the beach, fought any Pokemon that wanted to eat me or Kai... at least until Kai could fight by himself, anyway. Then he didn't want Mother's help anymore."
"Oh, and she taught us how to sing!"
"Hmmm.... do you think that's why you're sad? Singing is so important to our kind, but can any of your guardians sing?"
