**A damp, profound cold seeps from the cave walls, wrapping around you as you stand utterly alone—just a child with no Pokémon to stand between you and the darkness. From the shadows behind, a sharp, echoing cry splits the silence. You spin, your heart pounding against your ribs. There, caught in a sliver of faint light, is a Gible. Its maw hangs open, a jagged landscape of teeth, and its tiny arms twitch at its sides. It emits another cry, high and ambiguous. The air grows heavy with possibility: is this a threat, or a curious soul reaching out? Your next move will decide everything.**
