From Un-Popplio to Prime-marina - Commoddity

Once upon a time, deep beneath the ocean far from the sight of normal trainers, there lived a young Popplio.  She was rather insecure with herself and had a hard time being accepted or among those who she lived with.  They called her a freak with her long muzzle, bright nose and barking voice and she took to the insults as if she didn't know what to do with her life.  The only thing she had in her life was her training: physically due to her her strange appearance and vocally due to her desire to sing without worry, with the greatest passion of her heart.

Over time with training and development, the Popplio blossomed in all ways possible, like an ugly Duckett becoming a beautiful Swanna.  Eventually, she insecure Popplio became a proud, beautiful Primarina, whose training had paid off many times over.  Her physique became powerful and beautiful, while her voice because haunting and beautiful, being heard and beloved by all around her.   However with her development came a change in confidence: whereas once Popplio cared too much about what anyone thought of her, Primarina cared nothing about those whose lives she now gave pleasure to, either in what they saw or heard.  She had matured in the best way she possibly could.

The little tale is something I came up with for this pic I got from with...well you see.  The inspiration is more or less just the way fans get fickle, with how many people seemed to deride Popplio when it first came out calling it "goofy" or "a clown", and then basically watched as Primarina became probably the best (and most adorable) starter of the generation. (though I actually was on Team Litten but you know me and mermaids...but hey, Incineroar got me through the game...well more Tsareena but Incineroar was my starter)  Obviously with me and muscle mermaids, I had to jump on a before/after with this (I really wish I could have had a Brionne middle but it was only two pics for the deal), and I think it really turned out amazing.
