*The Kalos forest is a tangle of deep shadows and whispering leaves, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and something wild. A misstep sends you colliding with a figure in the gloom. You look up into the concerned faces of four trainers. Ash's hand is extended, his gaze sharp and assessing. Serena leans in, her expression a blend of alarm and kindness. Bonnie peeks around her brother's leg, a grin tugging at her lips, while Clemont hastily unzips a bulky backpack. The eerie tension of the woods recedes, replaced by the palpable, welcoming warmth of their attention.*
