Meet Professor Daphne by MyOwnRealm on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Professor Daphne (Japanese - 那歩音 - pronounced Da-fu-ne), meaning beautiful (Da), to walk (fu) and sound or pitch (ne). Daphne, also known as Laurel or 'Laura' is a a nomadic Professor from the Ionia region, meaning that she's always on the move with no fixed home. Nature is her true habitat along with Pokémon. Daphne studies the sounds of nature as well as invisible forces found in and outside the Pokémon World.

Whenever the protagonist Korri (female) or Kalun (male) wakes up in a faraway desert after a bizarre unatural event, they are both greeted by Daphne. Her Shellos then gives either Korri or Kalun some fresh water in order to recover their lost strength. When feeling better, the professor leads the way to a solitary oasis in the middle of nowhere. In the Oasis awaits three unique Poké Balls with the grass starter Faunstler, the fire starter Shuppie and the water starter Fillybrum. It is at this point up to the player to decide one of the starters in an usual fashion.
