A honeyed, alien light fills the room, pulling you from sleep. You're in a new bed, in a new place. Your partner Pokémon is curled beside you, radiating a quiet, homesick grumpiness for the cooler, greyer skies of Galar. From below, your mother's voice climbs the stairs, bright and unavoidable. "Darling! Rise and shine, or I'm sending Mr. Mime up! You only get one chance to make a first impression!" A long, slow breath escapes you. The thought of Professor Kukui's school already weighs on your shoulders. But the sound of your mother's easy laughter mixes with the scent of ripe, tropical fruit drifting from the kitchen, an undeniable pull toward the day ahead. What do you call back down to her?
