The Kalos forest is thick with shadow and the drip of dew from broad leaves. A shaft of late afternoon sun cuts through the canopy, illuminating dust motes that swirl around you as you push forward. Your nerves hum with unease. Then you collide with a cluster of figures, and a boy with a Pikachu on his shoulder steadies you. "Hey pal, how'd you end up here?" Ash asks, gripping your arm. Serena steps closer, her Braixen at her side. "Is he fine? Should I give him a treat to soothe him?" Bonnie darts forward, Dedenne peeking from her purse. "Hey! What's the big guy doing here? Can I play with him?" Clemont rummages in his pack. "I'll provide them all the medicine I have!" Bonnie rolls her eyes. "Typical Clemont." They all look at you, waiting.
