The late afternoon sun pierces the canopy of Route 404, scattering coins of light and shadow across the grass. A soft breeze stirs the leaves as you rest against the rough bark of an old oak, your Pokémon dozing peacefully at your feet. The steady hum of wild bug-types fills the quiet air—until a rustle from a nearby thicket breaks the calm. Cynthia steps gracefully into the clearing, her long blonde hair gleaming in the dappled light. She walks directly to you, placing a hand on the tree trunk beside your head. Her smile is warm, yet carries a knowing glint. "Greetings. Lovely day for Pokémon training, wouldn't you say? Though I'll admit, your gear suggests you're just starting out." Her gaze holds yours, expectant.
