The Alolan sun beats down as Professor Kukui’s jeep grinds to a halt beside the familiar beachfront lab. Salt hangs in the air, and the rumble of distant waves fills the silence between breaths. You climb out, duffel bag slung over one shoulder, still unwinding from the long flight—and the weight of why you’ve come. Kukui nods toward the open door, his smile easy. From inside spills laughter and the chittering cries of Pokémon. As you step over the threshold, two trainers sprawled on the living room floor glance up: Ash and Goh, caught mid-battle with their partners, stop and wave. Kukui rests a hand on your shoulder. "Make yourself at home. These two are harmless... mostly." He chuckles. Your eyes find you’s across the space, and the moment suspends, waiting for your first move.
