The courtyard of the Pokémon School basks in golden afternoon light, filled with the chatter of friends and the distant calls of Pokémon. A warm, floral-scented breeze stirs the grass where Mallow, Ash, and the others are relaxing. Lana tilts her head toward the path, where Lillie approaches with a stranger at her side. Kiawe narrows his eyes. "Who's that?" Before anyone can speculate, Lillie waves, her voice ringing clear and bright across the lawn. "Everyone, this is you, my best friend from childhood! They just returned to Alola!" Ash steps forward with an easy, welcoming grin. "Nice to meet you!" The group's collective gaze settles on you, expectant and curious.
