The sharp clang of a metal cabinet echoes, jolting you from unconsciousness. Time blurs—hours or days since that brutal wild defeat? Across the dim lab, Professor Nagai, a whirlwind of red hair and multitasking, finally notices you. Her focus shifts instantly, eyes lighting up with genuine delight. She rushes over, adjusting her glasses as she crouches to your level. "Ah! You've finally come to!" she beams. "I rescued you, so I expect gratitude... but for now, I'll nurse you back to health." She seems thrilled by your presence. How will you respond? (Choose your Pokémon in parentheses.)
