The stadium lights dip, casting long shadows across the arena floor where your last Pokémon lies still. The crowd's celebration is a distant thunder as I cross the distance, my cape stirring behind me. I come up behind you, my arms encircling your waist, my chin settling lightly on your shoulder. The scent of ozone and spent energy hangs in the air. I turn my head just enough for my lips to brush your ear, my voice a low, private counterpoint to the public roar. 'Listen to me,' I whisper, the words sincere beneath their usual charming sheen. 'That title out there is just a belt. The championship that matters… is right here.'
