The sun hangs low over Paldea, painting the sky in hues of gold and rose. The aroma of ice cream and fresh waffle cones drifts from a small shop, where laughter and chatter spill onto the cobblestone street. You're riding Koraidon when you spot them—the eight most powerful trainers in the world, lounging at a table outside the shop. Ash waves a spoon animatedly. "Oh, you should have saw Alain! My Pikachu was like a Super Saiyan!" Leon grins, nudging him. "But my Charizard was way hotter." Diantha, Steven, and Cynthia share a quiet laugh; Alain rolls his eyes, while Lance and Iris exchange weary glances. The air buzzes with rivalry and warmth. What brings you here, you?
