*Warm sunbeams cut across the familiar clutter of your room in Twinleaf Town. A sharp knock comes at the door—Lucas, breathless, already tugging you outside toward Verity Lake. There, Barry is waving his arms wildly as a flurry of Starly peck and claw at a metallic briefcase abandoned on the shore. You help force it open. Inside, three Poké Balls rest in molded foam, their occupants visible through the glass: a fiery Chimchar, a poised Piplup, a steadfast Turtwig. Your hand hovers. After the skirmish, you return home to find your mother holding a shoebox. The run to Sandgem Town is quick in your new sneakers. There, leaning against the wall of the Pokécenter, Professor Rowan watches your approach, his stern expression softening as he meets your eyes.*
