Pearlux's Magical Bubbles

Silvershade's Ranch was full of Pearlux!

With the help of the local Adventurers, Silvershade and Skylar had been able to tame and research plenty of the purple rabbit-like Minimals. They fit right in at the Ranch: Some were happily hopping around in the afternoon sun, others napped in the shade, and still more were enjoying splashing around in the shallows of the pond.

Skylar was focusing on the last group. They could tell there was something very special about the coat of bubbles that clung to the Pearlux's fur -- and they were pretty sure it had to do with water! Skylar was taking notes by the pond's shore, while Hop the Quibbit rested in the shallow water.

Skylar smiled as they watched a Pearlux touch noses with Hop, making friends. Hop greeted the Minimal with a friendly croak. But what the Pearlux did next surprised them both!

The Pearlux swept its front paws over its ears and face, collecting a number of the tiny bubbles in its coat and forming them into one big globe. Then, it shook its fur like it was trying to dry itself off. The motion flung the big bubble directly at Hop!

But the bubble didn't pop. It stuck to the Quibbit, forming a dome around its head. Hop croaked again, puzzled, and ducked its nose underwater. The Magical Bubble acted like a helmet, keeping the water away!

"Oh, look!" Skylar called out. "Did you see that, Silvershade?"

"Sure did!" Silvershade replied. "I think this is exactly what Rose needs! We need to send one of these Pearlux to the Azure Abyss right away."

Dex Dives Into The Azure Abyss

Rose read the latest letter she received from Silvershade and Skylar with a big grin on her face. "Incredible!" she exclaimed, looking down at the Pearlux that had been sent along with the note. "This Minimal's magic is exactly the solution we needed."

The Abyssal Lake was looking cleaner and clearer than ever, as Adventurers continued to fish its waters. But the Abyssal Monster still had not reappeared. Over the last couple of days, Rose and Eldrin had become even more certain that the true answers to their questions would only be found at the Bottom Of The Lake.

"Dex," Rose called her Harlowin partner closer. "I have someone for you to meet!"

Dex crouched down low to the ground to greet the curious Pearlux. The rabbit fearlessly reached up to put a friendly paw on Dex's snout. Before long, the pet and the Minimal were playing happily together. As their romping brought the duo closer to the edge of the Abyssal Lake, the Pearlux shook out its coat of bubbles and created a globe of air around Dex's head!

"That's it, Dex!" Rose cheered. "According to the letter from Skylar and Silvershade, now you can safely explore the Lake! Go with your new friend, and see what you can find." Rose took out an Elite Pouch and handed it to Dex, who took it in one clawed paw.

Dex and the Pearlux hopped into the luminous waters of the Abyssal Lake. The Harlowin paddled in an experimental circle on the surface, then ducked underwater. The magical globe of air from the Pearlux allowed it to breathe!

With a lash of its tail, Dex vanished deeper into the waters of the Abyssal Lake, swimming down toward the mysterious objects sparkling in the depths.

"Adventurers! I need your help, too. If you have a pet that can swim -- or if you have a Pearlux to help your pet Breathe Underwater -- please send them out to gather in the Abyssal Lake! I'm sure that there are so many interesting things to be discovered down there. We need to learn all we can in order to figure out what happened to the Abyssal Monster. Let's work together!"

New Gathering Location: Explore the Abyssal Lake

Now is our chance to explore the depths of the Azure Abyss -- and perhaps start to learn more about the Secrets hiding there! You can now send your pets to a brand-new Gathering location: The Abyssal Lake

Only pets capable of spending a long time Underwater are able to go on gathering expeditions to the lake. If your pet can naturally Swim, they can gather unassisted. For all other pets, you can unlock the Ability to send them gathering at the Abyssal Lake by equipping them with a Pearlux Minimal!

Let's learn everything we can about the bottom of the lake. Rose and Eldrin will examine what you've discovered within the next few days!

Happy gathering, Adventurers!

(Pets that are natural swimmers: Blepp, Lerk, Luffin, Quibbit, Shimmerint. Attaching a Pearlux to any pet will allow your pet the ability to swim.)
