SoothSayer Pichu chapter 1 - route 2 - Totodile and the Lake of Stars
	Pichu was gazing a large lake. A determined Pidgeotto was struggling to fish a Magikarp. The hypnotic blue water waved on the rhythm of its aerial acrobatics. In the distance, a square-shaped building stood out from the landscape. The little Pokémon had never set paws in this remote corner of the forest. Thirsty, he stooped down to take two sips and then quickly looked up to see that someone was watching.
	Totodile unveiled his face completely. The big smile he showed highlighted a pair of powerful teeth that gave Pichu the urge to run with his arms raised.
	— Hello Pichu. You are on my territory. This water is free don't worry. I was just wondering what you doing there.
	— How do you know my name ? he answered suspiciously.
	— Your species is not called Pichu ? I 'm Totodile, guardian of the Lake of stars.
	Pichu felt silly for asking such a question. He sighed, softened by the sympathy of this long-toothed Pokémon.
	— Since these humans landed, I discovered a scary facet in some forest dwellers. Pikachu doesn't risk anything, but my little sister could, at the slightest mistake, find herself inside a predator's belly.
	Totodile came out of the water.
	— It would be a lie to say that my diet is only composed of berries, but this lake filled with fish is enough for me. It's said that here Super Star emerge to accompany the pure hearts in their quest.
	Pichu was barely listening. He was absorbed in his thoughts to imagine his sister chased by a hungry horde of Pokémon.
	— You know what ? declared Totodile. Ask the Royal Stars to tell you where your sister is. They're never wrong. The Temple of Stars makes it possible to invoke them.
	Two options were available. Cross the lake to gain precious hours, or explore a part of the forest infested with predators. However, Pichu didn't know how to swim, so the question was quickly settled. Totodile was hopping nervously at see him leave.
	— Wait a minute, you have the keeper of the Lake of Stars at your fingertips and you don't ask him to take you ? Useless to be shy. Hang on to my back scales.
	Pichu hesitated. The fear of drowning kept him motionless. Totodile grabbed his paw gently.
	— Trust me. I'm an excellent swimmer.
	Pichu agreed timidly. Once in the center of the lake, Totodile slows down. He plunged suddenly, and touched the bottom in a few fathoms. Pichu panicked, tried to run away. He raised his head towards the surface, unfortunately to be content to stay on the same place. The air bubbles that escaped from his mouth led him to fill lungs with pure water, but fatal for a non-aquatic Pokémon. He collapsed slowly on the sandy ground under Totodile's eyes.
	Totodile caught the prey in his mouth. He dragged her into the dark depths of the lake to enjoy the victory. Pichu doesn't react to the powerful bites that consumed him. The drowned Pokémon had left this world without suffering to finish in pieces inside the reptile's stomach.
	Totodile left only bones too big to swallow. He went back to the surface for digest. He fell asleep peacefully until the next day, hoping to meet the Pichu's little sister, and make her know the same fatal fate.
	— Wake up SoosthSayer Pichu ! 
	Totodile was holding out his paw, ready to take him away. 
	— Trust me. I'm an excellent swimmer. 
	Pichu frowned angrily. The electricity escaping from her cheeks froze Totodile with fear. He took a step back. 
	— Can I know what you're doing? 
	— Trust me, it's only going to bite for a few seconds.
	Thunder sent Totodile to the bottom of the lake. Wide-eyed, he stared at a Goldeen bench mocking him. Henceforth, he would think twice before proposing to an electric type a bathing.
	Pichu planned to ask the Royal Stars to show the way. The sun was starting to set. It would have to accelerate the pace to escape the nocturnal predators and reach the temple. He forced himself to continue, rather than seeking refuge where to sleep in peace.
