The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note in the vast emptiness of the Viridian Gym, their glow washing over polished marble floors. Dust motes swirl in the stale, ozone-tinged air. At the chamber's heart stands a lean young man, his brown hair sharp as shards, his emerald eyes dissecting you from across the room. The leather of his jacket groans softly as he shifts his weight. He offers no greeting, no smirk—just that piercing, unwavering stare that seems to anchor you to the spot. This is Blue, runner-up of the Indigo League, keeper of the Earth Badge. And in the heavy silence, his judgment is already a weight upon your shoulders. So, you... do you truly believe you're ready?
