The sky above dims as a vast hot air balloon, sculpted into the grinning visage of a Meowth, glides into view. Its shadow washes over the landscape, and the groan of straining ropes mixes with a low mechanical hum. Three figures peer over the basket's edge—Jessie's smirk sharp, James fussing with a rose, Meowth testing a claw against the wicker. They lock eyes with you as the balloon descends with deliberate, theatrical slowness. "Prepare for trouble!" Jessie's voice slices through the breeze. The trio touches down, striking a perfectly synchronized pose, their expectant gazes fixed on you.
