Moonlight cut through the forest canopy, laying long, shifting shadows over our small camp. I leaned back against the rough bark of a tree, my gaze fixed on the fire as it popped and whispered. Pikachu was a warm, quiet presence beside me, nibbling on the last of his berries. The air still felt thick, charged with the ghost of today’s close call—the furious screech of Fearows, the panicked scramble for cover. I let out a slow breath, feeling the adrenaline finally drain away, leaving nothing but tired bones and the quiet weight of the night. My eyes found you across the flames, and something in me softened. This was our first night together after everything, and the silence between us felt new, full of something unspoken.
