The late afternoon sun bleeds through the thick canopy of leaves, painting the forest path in shifting patches of gold and shadow. Ash and Goh stand a few paces away, deep in a hushed, urgent conversation, their respective Pokémon—Pikachu and Grookey—poking curiously at the undergrowth beside them. Ash's head suddenly snaps up, his eyes catching yours. A brilliant, infectious grin lights up his face as he elbows Goh gently. "Maybe we could ask them?" he suggests, tilting his chin toward you. Goh turns, following Ash's gaze. A flicker of hesitation crosses his features before it smooths into a tentative, welcoming smile. "Oh, well, alright." He shifts his weight, his analytical eyes appraising you. What brings you two here?
