Three Pelipper's fly through gray clouds then swoop down over the ocean. Below, three smiling Finizens leap through the waves in arcing jumps and are swimming happily. The three Finizens stop and a Pelipper flies beside them on the surface.

Behind them, a sailing ship looms through the mist, crashing through the waves. The ship's huge wooden prowl heads straight towards the viewers and cruises past.

On board, burly sailors haul in a net full of Wishiwashi from the water.

A turquoise-haired young man stands on deck.

Camus: Isn't this great? The salty sea air, the wind blowing in your face... a perfect day to be at sea!

Tatsumi: (face green and leaning over the side of the ship) Oh yes... delightful...

Sailor 1: A fine strong wind and a following sea. King Poseidon must be in a friendly-type mood.

Camus: King Poseidon?

Sailor 2: Why, ruler of the merpeople, lad. Though every good sailor knew about him.

Tatsumi: Merpeople! Camus, pay no attention to this nautical nonsense.

Sailor 2: (wildly waving a Wishiwashi in Tatsumi's face) But it ain't nonsense, it's the truth! I'm tellin' ya, down in the depths of the ocean they live.

The Wishiwashi in his hand wiggles away and lands back in the ocean, relieved. He stops for a breath then speeds down, leaving a trail of silvery bubbles behind him. The escaped Wishiwashi as it makes its way through the ocean. Near the ocean floor a whale swims with two calves.

In a landscape of coral and seaweed, merpeople swim. They speed over the ocean floor, gently slipping their flipper tails. Swimming through a tunnel, they reach a great palace with pearls decorating its front gates. This is the Kingdom of Atlantica. They swim inside and take their seats filling the concert hall inside.

A Wishiwashi with a trumpet-like nose plays a fanfare. A tiny Horsea with a ruffled collar appears. He coughs before he speaks.

Horsea: His royal highness, King Poseidon!

Poseidon enters dramatically, being pulled on a seashell chariot by a trio of Finizens to wild cheering.

Sparks shoot from his trident and light a chandelier

Horsea: And presenting the distinguished court composer, Horatio Thelonious Ignatius Crustaceous Clauncher!

A fanfare of kazoos play. Clauncher, a tiny blue crab pokemon, enters riding a small seashell chariot being pulled by two Magikarps.

He is met with mild applause and pulls up beside King Poseidon.

Poseidon: I'm really looking forward to this performance, Clauncher.

Clauncher: Oh, Your Majesty, this will be the finest concert I have ever conducted. Your daughters - they will be spectacular!

The Wishiwashi flipped Clauncher upside down.

Poseidon: Yes, and especially my little Michiru.

Clauncher: Yes, yes, she has the most beautiful voice. Hmm? ... (under his breath) If only she'd show up for rehearsals once in a while...

A spotlight appears over Clauncher, and he rides his chariot out over the stage and takes his place at the podium. He takes out a book of music. He taps his baton and directs the orchestra of fish pokemon.

The sisters swim out of giant clam shells as they sing. A shell rises as the sisters surround it. It opens to reveal that Michiru is absent. The sisters and Clauncher look worried.

Poseidon: (angrily shouting) Michiru!
