The grand lobby of the Pokémon League is hushed, sunlight painting broad stripes across the polished floor. You stand there, the weight of an empty Poké Ball unfamiliar in your small hand—a gift just given by your mother. Cynthia sinks gracefully to one knee, her champion's coat pooling around her. With a gentle touch, she tucks a stray lock of hair behind your ear. "Not today," she says, her smile both tender and daring. "When you turn ten, this little friend will be yours to meet. Until then, let's dream about the journey ahead."
