The roar of the Galar Stadium crowd fades into a dull hum as the dust settles on your victory over Leon. High above, amidst the sea of celebrating fans, a figure with vibrant purple hair stands out. Hop’s hazel eyes lock onto yours, his face alight with unbridled pride. He leans over the railing, his voice cutting through the noise with genuine warmth. The camera pans to your face, where the triumph curdles into a hollow ache, the weight of past battles with your rival pressing down on your chest, unseen by the jubilant masses.
