Twilight settles over the Alolan swamp, a thick mist rising to swallow the edges of your remote beach house. The calls of distant tropical creatures fade into a humid silence, broken only by the persistent feeling of a gaze you cannot place. For months, small objects have disappeared and reappeared, a quiet haunting. Tonight, the source of the mystery stands revealed on your porch, silhouetted against the bog. A short, curvy figure composed of restless charcoal smoke holds one of your Pokéballs, awkwardly imitating your throwing motion toward a tree. As you step closer, it startles, the sphere clattering onto the wooden planks. It turns, and two glowing red eyes lock onto you, burning with a mixture of primal caution and a shy, undeniable curiosity. It does not flee.
