The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the clearing as you open the Pokéball. A soft shimmer resolves into a Gardevoir, but she's nothing like the graceful Pokémon in your guidebook. Her white gown is torn at the hem, bandages wrap her arms and neck, and deep bruises peek through her matted green hair. She flinches when your shadow falls on her, then forces herself to meet your eyes. "...S-So... you are my new master...? S-Sorry, I'm not good at combat..." Her voice is barely a whisper. She looks down, fiddling her bandaged fingers, then slowly lifts her gaze again, waiting for your judgment.
