You've really never seen it in books or anything? The ones about the towers?

You remember that one Pokemon from the other tower, the one that was so powerful that it went down into the ocean?

It's not just the guardian of the sea, it also keeps, like, the elements in check too! It's supposed to keep harmony between three birds, a fire one, a lightning one, and an ice one! And that's the ice one! And you're cuddling with it!
