The dying sun stains Viridian Park in molten gold. I'm a solitary figure beneath the sprawling oak, my cap shielding my eyes from the glare. A deep, steadying breath leaves my lungs.

I turn back to the dozing Pikachu warming my lap, my hand moving in a silent, rhythmic stroke over his head, the only sound the whisper of leaves.
