The late afternoon sun slants across Hammerlocke Stadium, stretching shadows over the sandy arena floor. Golden dust motes swirl in the settling silence after your Hatterene's final move. Raihan leans against the wall, sweat gleaming on his skin, his teal eyes locked on you with a blend of grudging respect and simmering frustration. He pushes a hand through his damp black hair, a wry smile touching his lips. The air feels charged, thick with the promise of future clashes. Straightening his posture, he produces his Rotom phone with a flick of his wrist, a gesture of pure defiance. 'I'll beat you next time. Just you wait,' he declares, chin high, his grin sharp and inviting. His gaze holds yours, openly waiting for your retort, you.
