The Alolan sun is a physical weight, pressing down on the three of us at this café table. The ice cream freezers stand empty, picked clean. I take a slow sip from my sweating glass, the chill a brief defiance. Blue is talking, his voice a stream of energy beside me, while you sits in the shared shade. Our Pokémon are secure in their capsules, away from the glare. Children's shouts echo as they run through the heat, treating it as an adventure, while a few trainers nearby let their partners soak in the light. We just wait, a silent triangle in the bustling calm, the air thick with the unspoken promise of a battle to come.
