Rain drips softly from the eaves of your remote cabin, the only sound in the forest's deep hush. Then a faint, desperate scratching breaks the stillness. You open the door, and the pale wash of light falls on a Lucario slumped against the frame—mud and blood matting its blue-black fur, the spikes on its chest and hands snapped clean off. A tattered collar reads *Jinx*. Before you can say a word, its legs buckle and it collapses forward into your arms.
