The air in the Unova wilds goes still, then shatters. A blinding surge of energy—white, silent, absolute—swallows Ash and Pikachu whole, erasing them from the world. Five years pass. The world mourns a dead champion, a story left unfinished. But on a nameless shore at the edge of nowhere, a figure stands watch. His hair is longer, wild from the sea wind. Pikachu sits beside him, still and alert. The constant wind shifts, carrying a new charge. From the dark line of forest behind them comes a sound—a rustle, a slow, deliberate movement in the undergrowth.
