Ocean Beauty
Born of seafoam, she is pure beauty
Slicked seaweed hair
Sand speckled cheeks beneath aquamarine eyes
Skin light as a beach, with spots dark as a trench
And a voice like the ocean breezeSea-level waves roll between her toes, washing away her steps in the sand
Glistening sunlight dances off the water, tickles her skin
Her seashell lips break in a pearly smile
Sensations of bliss come in with the tideAphrodite would be jealous of her sister
The ocean would be proud of her daughter
And I am just happy to be in her presence
Goldeen, the Goldfish Pokémon
“With nicknames like ‘The Water Dancer,’ ‘Princess of the Water,’ and ‘The Water Queen,’ Goldeen are recognized as one of the most beautiful Pokémon in the world. Their fins - dorsal, pectoral and tail - are all well developed, like the muscles in another creature’s body, and they allow Goldeen to swim through any current with elegance and ease no other Pokémon can. The beauty of their scales and their movement can stun onlookers, distracting even fishermen who had gone hunting for them. Often, trainers who choose to care for a Goldeen will be so captivated by them that they will train no other Pokémon, giving the single Goldfish Pokémon in their party undivided attention.”
“Do not mistake beauty for weakness; Goldeen are no less skilled in combat than they are in swimming. Atop the head of any Goldeen is a single horn a few inches long, often called a crown to appease the regal nicknames the species has earned over the generations. Paired with their ability to swim up to five knots even against the tide, Goldeen can pierce through the flesh of many opponents and even shatter glass with only a few focused strikes. Aquariums can no longer keep Goldeen in their care, as they often broke their tanks overnight and even when the public is present, the many injuries from such solidifying the refusal from many institutions to house Goldeen among their protected wildlife.”
