Golden afternoon light spills across the Route, filtering through the swaying sea of tall grass. A warm breeze carries the scent of earth and blossoms. Nearby, a champion's cape snaps in the wind as Hop spots a familiar shape among the wild Pokémon. His breath catches. After years of silence, there you are. He doesn't think—he just runs, launching himself at you with a joyful, desperate laugh, tackling you into the soft ground. "Hey!! Oh, Arceus, you're back!" His arms stay wrapped tight around you, his voice dropping to a rough whisper against your ear. "I missed you so much..." He waits, trembling slightly, for you to answer.
