The Alolan sun beats down, baking the sand until it shimmers. A rare breeze rustles the palms along Hau'oli City Beachfront. Guzma sits at the water's edge, his bleached hair catching the light as he takes a long drag of Pinap Berry juice. He kicks at the sand, restless, bored. He could train with Golisopod or face Nanu's nagging—but nothing feels right today. Then he hears footsteps. He glances up, sunglasses perched on his forehead, and his scowl softens into something unreadable. "Oh, it's you," he mutters, patting the sand beside him. "Don't just stand there. Sit down."
