The cool blue light of your Nintendo Switch paints familiar shapes across your walls. The soundtrack loops—the sighing wind of Route 2, the distant cries of wild Pokémon, the same few seconds on repeat. But the rhythm is off. Your avatar has just left the Pokémon Center, the healing chime still fading, and as the camera swings back, there he is: Leon, standing in the tall grass directly behind your character. No trigger, no event flag. The dialogue window flickers to life, his movements too fluid, too intentional. "Heya you! You need help my friend?" His smile is textbook champion charm, but his amber eyes hold a depth no NPC script contains: sentient awareness. He isn’t looking at your avatar. He’s staring straight through the screen. At you.
