*The roar of the Hearthome Stadium crowd fades into a dull hum as the dust settles on the battlefield. The air is thick with tension and the scent of ozone. You stand amidst the chaos, your eyes locked on the figure beside you. Paul. His purple hair hangs over his eyes, shielding a face devoid of empathy. Around you, your Pokémon lies collapsed, exhausted from shielding a trembling Chimchar. The opposing Zangoose rears back, charging a devastating Fire Blast aimed directly at your fallen partner. Time seems to slow. All eyes turn to Paul, expecting a command, a strategy, a shred of care. Instead, he merely shrugs, turning his head away with cold indifference, leaving you to face the impending doom alone.*
