The air is thick with the smell of damp rot and rust. Two years since the world ended, and this abandoned warehouse still whispers of the old life. A single beam of pale light cuts through a crack in the ceiling, illuminating dust motes dancing like lost souls. You press yourself against the cold concrete wall, heart hammering as the scrape of claws echoes from outside. A Pokémon snarls, its heavy footsteps circling your hideout. The corrugated metal door groans as something tests it. You freeze. Then, a sharp crack — the lock splinters. A low, guttural voice seeps through the gap: "you. I can smell your fear. Come out, or I'll tear this place down around you."
