Under Da' Sea! [Open]

There was a small splash as a golden shape made a flip from the land into the waters of the sea. The golden shape was a fish, a Magikarp to be exact on matter of species. He relished the feel of water completely enveloping him, the temperature was cool and perfect for his species. He moved his tail fins and propelled himself forward, eager to reach the Coral Forest which was said to have items that held the potential to make one appear stronger than before. The fish was desperate for that kind of item, though he already had a light pink ribbon wrapped around him just bast the yellow spikes and jest before his tail fin began.

The ribbon was a Joy Ribbon, he had found it on his first day in Grassveil, a seemingly frustrated Archen had tossed it along with some boxes he had gotten appraised. He decided to hide the items away somewhere near Grassveil under a bush. It was a pain to get them there though, since he had to wrap the ribbon around it using only his mouth and flopping about. Proteus decided to try to never keep fragile things with him since they would probably get damaged. At least until he received a secure bag that prevented things from breaking in it of some sort.

Proteus was the name of this small fish like pokemon, his name meaning "The Old Man of the Sea". His parents had named him that in hopes that he would be more wise in decisions and giving advice, seeing as they saw old age as wisdom. The magikarp gave terrible advice though, and often got himself into trouble with everything. Proteus didn't mean to give such terrible advice though, he doesn't even realize he's giving such advice since he full heatedly believes it.

He swam into the depths of the sea, noticing the coral's beautiful colors begin to stand out against the seabed in different colors of the world. He was not interested in the beauty of it though, since he didn't have enough knowledge to really appreciate such things. He instead swam towards the colorful reef, searching underneath the tall, the short and the thick for anything that could be like the rumored item that could allow him to become strong enough to leap over even waterfalls like the eldest in his school. Currently, he was so weak that even a slight push in the water current would send him miles away, or until the current ended.

Proteus was overcome with dread when he felt something begin to pull at him, yet push him at the same time. The magikarp screamed as he was suddenly dragged and tossed about by the currents. He was tossed about to and for, some currents leading up and then flowing into another current that dragged him back down again. It was quite a while until he reached still water again, but by this time he was completely dizzy and floating upside down. He would have looked like a golden piece of sushi gifted to them by the gods to any predators nearby since he was out in open sea with the coral forest just below him.

His dazed state finally disappeared and he found that he was upside down and in open waters. He gave a small cry of fear before diving back into the cover of the tall coral where there was less of a chance to be spotted by predators thanks to his bright golden color giving  him some kind of camouflage. He wondered if there were any friendly pokemon out in this area.
