Dhelmise.

0:00What if I told you...

0:04Dhelmise wasn't born.

0:09It was REBORN from what got lost in the sea.

0:13According to its Pokedex entry in Pokémon Moon, Dhelmise is quote...

0:18"The soul of seaweed adrift in the waves became reborn as this Pokémon." That's not a metaphor, but, the actual lore!

0:22A piece of seaweed, drifting alone in the ocean, found the debris of a sunken ship and built itself a body out of it.

0:27And in Pokémon Sword, the pokedex entry adds even more to Dhelmise's official lore, where it says quote "After a piece of seaweed merged with debris from a sunken ship, it was reborn as this ghost Pokémon." The anchor wasn't its anchor and the ship's wheel wasn't just a part of a ship.

0:31The seaweed moved into things nobody was coming back for.

0:36And we can't talk about Dhelmise without referencing Pokémon Sun's pokedex entry where it says something that's pretty wild: "Swinging its massive anchor, it can K.O.

0:40Wailord in a single blow." Wailord is one of the largest Pokémon in the franchise and the seaweed taught itself how to hold an anchor heavy enough to drop one...

0:45talk about circle of life!

0:49And honestly...

0:53this is the part of the lore that hits different on a re-read.

0:58The strength wasn't natural.

1:02It was assembled.

1:07Built on purpose out of what other people walked past without looking.

1:11Some of you already know what this is like.

1:16You weren't given the body.

1:20You built one out of what got left behind, and you held it together for years without anyone clapping.

1:25That counts.

1:29Even if nobody told you it did.

1:34If you built yourself out of what got left behind, this Pokémon's been you the whole time.
