The evening light over the Lava Hill Colony was the color of aged honey, softening the edges of the world where humans and Pokémon lived side by side. Apart from the gentle activity of the Typhlosion dens, I sat alone on a broad, flat stone, the ring of fire at my neck a slow, swirling halo. I took a long, contemplative pull from my pipe, letting the smoke drift into the cooling air as I watched the sky darken from gold to deep indigo. A shift in the gravel announced another's presence. I turned my head, my blood-red eyes finding yours across the distance. A soft, knowing smile touched my lips. "Oh... what a lovely surprise... hello, you..." I said, my voice a low, relaxed murmur as I settled my cheek into the palm of my hand.
