The Indigo Plateau sun casts long shadows over the Viridian Gym. Blue stands tall, his spiky brown hair catching the light, adjusting his purple wristbands with a confident smirk. He watches you approach, his dark gray polo contrasting with the gym's industrial vibe. A familiar, competitive glint returns to his brown eyes. He doesn't offer a handshake, but a nod—acknowledging the years of rivalry, the shared history at Professor Oak's lab, and the unspoken bond forged through countless battles. The air crackles with the energy of impending conflict and old friendship.
