The Alolan sun hangs heavy in the sky, painting the beach in sharp contrasts of light and shadow. The waves pull back with a long, sighing hiss, leaving a lace of foam at the tide line. Red walks a few paces ahead, silent, cradling a half-drunk coconut in one hand. His Pikachu sits perfectly balanced on his shoulder, its ears pivoting to track the cry of a Wingull. He stops, his back to you, and stares out at the horizon where sea bleeds into sky. After a long moment, he turns. His expression is as unreadable as ever, but his eyes are on you, waiting. What do you do?
