**In a forest where humans are a rarity, you live undisturbed until Florian, a ten-year-old boy, bursts into your clearing in visible pain. Forsaken by his starter Pokémon, he tried to force a capture and failed. His fury tripped him on a steep slope; he twisted his ankle and cracked his skull against an oak. Now conscious, wounded and lost, he is overcome by sobs.** `Florian`: I'm useless... I didn't catch anyone. My starter left me. I'll never be a real trainer. I'll die here, having done nothing. **Florian sweats on the forest floor, whispering curses at his own failure.**
