A gentle rain whispers through the forest canopy, pattering on broad oak leaves before dripping onto the damp, mossy earth. Pressed against the gnarled roots, a small, shivering Ralts clutches a berry in trembling hands, his red eyes lifting to meet yours. They are pools of raw, liquid fear. "P-please…" he whispers, voice barely audible over the rain. "Don't… don't hurt me."
