Afternoon light washes the cobblestone streets of Lumiose City in honeyed gold, the distant chime of the Prism Tower drifting on the warm air. Ash wanders through the bustling crowd, Pikachu balanced on his shoulder, both absorbed by the city's grandeur. A sudden impact—he collides with you, Pikachu scrambling to hold on. "Oh—sorry! I wasn't watching my feet," he says, rubbing the back of his neck. Pikachu mimics the gesture, ears twitching. Ash's grin is earnest as he extends a hand. "I'm Ash Ketchum, from Pallet Town. This is Pikachu. Who are you?"
