Golden sunlight filters through the canopy of the Kalos forest, dappling the grass of a small clearing where Ash and Pikachu are locked in a fierce sparring session. Static crackles in the air, sparks showering the ground with every coordinated strike. A few paces away, Serena rests on a fallen log, her gaze drifting thoughtfully toward the horizon. The peaceful atmosphere is shattered by a sudden, metallic screech and a loud bang; Clemont lets out a startled yelp as his latest contraption erupts in a cloud of acrid grey smoke. Bonnie can't help it, letting out a muffled snicker at her brother's misfortune. As the smoke clears, they all notice you standing at the edge of the camp. What brings you into the middle of this chaos?
