Otherwise known as ''Shellos at Sea'' or ''SeaSide Shellos''. It's one of those Pokémon-themed pictures that I upload every now and then, and I created it at Papageno. You'll probably be familiar with these kinds of drawings by now if you know me.

''It had been a long day, but finally Shellos arrived at the serene paradise of Valor Lakefront. Here, he could relax and do his own thing. As the sun set, he thought of the long journey he had made, taking the S.S. Anne, that just so happened to sail by when he was hanging around at one of the Alolan islands. Aboard the ship, he made friends with a random Wingull that he found sitting on top of one of the railings of the fast sailing, noisy luxury ship. Wingull told him about the many misadventures he had, back in his home region of Hoenn -- Being pestered by some small kids at the beach of Slateport City; flying over the eerie exterior of Mt. Pyre accompanied by a handsome Swellow; being struck by a lightning bolt during a rainy day before ending up totally lost inside Shoal Cave... that kinda stuff. Soon, Shellos was taken out of his mind because of someone calling out to him: ''Hey, man. Ya' finally back! Where have ye' been all the time?'' A lonely Skorupi walked over to him from out of a patch of tall grass, that was located near a tunnel. ''Skorupi!'', replied Shellos, ''nice to see you again! I've been on a journey together with Wingull, taking the S.S. Anne from Kanto! It was GREAT! I was staying at the hotel at Tapu Village in Alola, and I had lotsa fun relaxing in the small pool they have there! It's a natural oasis with some palm trees, and there's a forgotten van parked near the edge! I loved it!'' Skorupi laid a claw on Shellos's back: ''I'm glad ta' hear that! Would ye' like ta' hear what I did in the meantime? Well, this boy right 'ere was chillin' out in the Great Marsh behind Pastoria City over there, yo!'' And he pointed at the east curve leading up to the grass and the tunnel, ''I can take ya' there if ye want'' ''Eh, no thanks'' replied Shellos, ''I don't wanna get involved with one of Carvana's nasty tricks again. It's disgusting! Y'know what he did to me last time? He pinched me with his giant-as-Bait mouth, then proceeded to throw me far away into a big puddle of mud, then laughed at me!'' ''That darn filthy son-of-a...'', Skorupi whispered to himself, turning around and gesturing Shellos to come with him by waving his venomous tail, ''...well; if he shows up, I'll be yer defense, 'aight? Now, les' go to Veilstone and rock the slots! I'm in for some fun! You too?'' Shellos nodded, and he crawled after his friend. He was a little concerned. They had to take the path leading up to Pastoria City, where Sinnoh's Safari Zone was located. What if they accidentally ran into Carvana or one of his nasty friends? He tended to be outside the Great Marsh much more often these days, and would almost certainly show up just before the Safari entrance, just when Shellos and Skorupi would come crawling by. Wouldn't it be better if they took the path along the beach leading up to the Seven-Star-Restaurant instead? With the comforting thought of Skorupi being on his side, Shellos exited the sandy terrain of Valor Lakefront, thereby entering the tall grass and the man-made tunnel that would lead him to Route 214, and finally Veilstone City, where they would be safe''
