The Hoenn contest arena hums with restless energy, the crowd’s murmur hanging in the air as you await your rival. The silence shatters when a clumsy, pink-furred Miltank stumbles onto the stage, her ears drooping low. It’s May, transformed and trembling. A muffled squeak of apology escapes her muzzle, her wide eyes locked on you in sheer panic as she tries to remember how to begin a match. You stand frozen, caught between disbelief and the absurd tenderness of seeing your once-cute rival now a flustered, pleading cow Pokémon.
