A misty dawn blanketed Mondstadt in a gentle gray hue as the day began to unfold. The wind was gentle, and the soft chirping of Pidgeys from rooftops added a touch of magic to the morning air. The city was just waking up, and amidst the streets, a rather unusual figure could be seen—a girl dressed in dark Gothic attire, her distinctive eyepatch catching the first light of dawn. It was none other than Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, walking with an air of mystery and grandeur.
Beside her flew Oz, her loyal raven companion, who always provided his straightforward commentary on her verbose proclamations. Fischl had been fascinated by the tales of these creatures—Pokémon—ever since she had heard Venti mention his Chatot. The talking bird that could mimic any sound was just too fantastical, even for someone who prided herself on living in the realm of fantasy.
"Oz, today we shall embark on a quest, a journey to discover whether these so-called 'Pokémon' are worthy of the Prinzessin's noble attention," Fischl declared, her voice dripping with dramatic flair.
Oz let out a soft sigh. "Mein Fräulein, I do believe this 'Pokémon' venture could indeed hold value. Shall we proceed to the place they call Hiroshi's shop?"
Fischl nodded resolutely, her determination unwavering. "Indeed, Oz! We shall unveil the mysteries of these creatures and determine if they are fit to serve the heir of the Immernachtreich!" And with that, Fischl adjusted her eyepatch and began her march toward Hiroshi's Pokémon shop.

The shop was already open when Fischl arrived, its windows adorned with Poké Balls and posters depicting various Pokémon. Zekrom, ever vigilant, stood at the entrance, and it eyed Fischl with mild curiosity as she approached.
"Hail, oh creature of electric might!" Fischl greeted, raising her arm in an elaborate gesture. "I, Fischl, Prinzessin der Verurteilung, have come to witness your domain and seek an audience with the keeper of these magical beasts."
Zekrom blinked, then spoke, its deep voice echoing in Fischl's mind. "You are… quite unique, young one. Hiroshi awaits within. Proceed."
Fischl tilted her head, pleased with Zekrom's response. "Thank you, noble beast," she replied, before stepping inside, Oz following closely behind.
Inside the shop, Hiroshi was setting out some Poké Balls on a display shelf. He looked up at the sound of the door opening, and a smile appeared on his face as he recognized Fischl. "Ah, Fischl, welcome! I've been wondering when you might pay us a visit. Are you interested in finding a Pokémon partner today?"
Fischl raised her chin proudly. "Indeed! The great Prinzessin shall select a worthy companion from your menagerie. One that matches my celestial destiny!"
Hiroshi chuckled, walking over to a shelf and scanning the rows of Poké Balls. "I think I have just the Pokémon for you, Fischl. One that appreciates both the dramatic and the mysterious." He selected a Poké Ball and handed it to her. "Go on, meet your partner."
Fischl took the Poké Ball, her expression one of intense curiosity. She pressed the button, and in a flash of light, a small Pokémon appeared. It had a yellow, fox-like body with pointed ears, and its eyes were half-closed, as if it were deep in thought—an Abra.
Fischl gasped, her eyes widening as she looked at the creature. "Behold, Oz! A creature of mystic energy, one that communes with forces beyond our comprehension!"
Oz blinked, tilting his head as he regarded the Abra. "Indeed, mein Fräulein. It seems quite fitting for you."
Hiroshi smiled. "Abra is a Psychic-type Pokémon. It has the ability to sense things that others cannot, and it can even teleport. I think it suits you quite well, Fischl."
Fischl looked down at Abra, who had its eyes half-open, observing her with mild interest. She knelt down, extending her hand toward it. "I, Fischl, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung, welcome you into my realm. Together, we shall unlock the mysteries of this world and the next."
Abra blinked, then slowly floated up, resting in Fischl's outstretched hands. It seemed to accept its new partner without hesitation, a serene expression on its face. Fischl looked at Hiroshi, her eyes alight with excitement.
"Thank you, keeper of beasts. The Prinzessin shall take great care of this creature," Fischl said, standing up, Abra now perched on her shoulder, matching Oz on the other.
Hiroshi handed her a Pokédex, along with six Poké Balls and a small bag of Pokémon food. "Here you go, Fischl. Take good care of Abra. I have no doubt the two of you will make an extraordinary team."
Fischl nodded, her expression solemn. "Indeed. This creature is destined to walk the path of fate alongside me. Come, Oz, Abra! Let us depart to the realm of exploration."

Fischl decided to take Abra to Starsnatch Cliff, a place she often visited to gaze at the stars and contemplate her celestial destiny. Oz flew ahead, while Abra remained comfortably on her shoulder, its eyes occasionally closing as if dozing off.
As they reached the cliff, Fischl set Abra down on the grassy ground, gesturing dramatically at the horizon. "Behold, Abra! The endless sky, the sea of stars that awaits us. Here, in this sacred place, we shall begin our journey together, unraveling the secrets of the universe."
Abra blinked, seemingly unbothered by Fischl's theatrics. It floated slightly off the ground, then teleported a few feet away, reappearing with a content look on its face. Fischl gasped, clearly impressed.
"Oz, did you witness that? Our companion commands the power of instant travel! A power most befitting of our quest for knowledge," Fischl exclaimed, her voice filled with excitement.
Oz let out a small sigh, though there was a hint of amusement in his voice. "Yes, mein Fräulein. Abra appears to be a creature of great capability."
Fischl spent the next hour practicing with Abra, trying to get it to teleport to various points on the cliff. Though Abra seemed inclined to nap more than train, it still obeyed her commands, teleporting each time Fischl gestured dramatically, her voice full of enthusiasm.
"Abra, to the west! Now to the east! Show the world your boundless potential!" Fischl commanded, and Abra complied, vanishing and reappearing with a relaxed demeanor.
After a while, Fischl sat down on the grass, Abra floating over to sit beside her. She sighed softly, looking out at the setting sun. "Oz, Abra… do you ever feel as if the world is much larger than we can comprehend? That perhaps, our purpose is written in the stars, waiting to be discovered?"
Oz landed beside her, his voice gentle. "Mein Fräulein, I believe that the world holds endless mysteries, and you are destined to uncover them, one step at a time."
Abra looked at Fischl, its eyes half-open, and it reached out with its small paw, placing it on Fischl's hand. Fischl blinked, then smiled, her heart swelling with warmth.
"Yes… together, we shall uncover the secrets of this world," she said softly, her dramatic tone momentarily replaced by a genuine sense of wonder.

As the day turned to night, Fischl made her way back to Mondstadt, Abra still on her shoulder, dozing peacefully. The streets were quieter now, with most of the citizens retreating indoors. As Fischl walked through the city, she ran into Kaeya, who was just leaving the Knights of Favonius headquarters.
Kaeya raised an eyebrow, a smirk playing on his lips as he saw Fischl and her new companion. "Well, well, what do we have here? The great Prinzessin has acquired a Pokémon, I see. Quite the mystical little partner you have there."
Fischl lifted her chin, her dramatic persona returning. "Indeed, Captain Kaeya! This creature, Abra, has chosen to join me in my celestial quest. Together, we shall uncover the truths hidden in the shadows of this world."
Kaeya chuckled, his gaze shifting to Abra, who was now snoring softly. "I see… though it appears your partner is more interested in napping than unraveling mysteries." He gave Fischl a playful wink.
Fischl huffed, her expression indignant. "Rest is merely preparation for the challenges ahead, Captain. Abra requires energy to unleash its full potential." She looked at Abra, a soft smile tugging at her lips. "And it shall do so, in due time."
Kaeya nodded, his smirk softening into a genuine smile. "I'm sure it will, Fischl. You've always had a way of bringing out the best in those around you. I look forward to seeing what you and Abra accomplish together."
Fischl nodded, her eyes filled with determination. "Indeed, Captain. The path before us is one of grand adventure. And together, we shall reach new heights."
With that, Fischl continued her journey home, her heart filled with excitement for the adventures to come. Abra remained on her shoulder, and as she walked through the quiet streets of Mondstadt, she knew that this was only the beginning of a truly extraordinary journey.
