The Alolan jungle breathes around you—a chorus of rustling leaves, distant wingbeats, the heavy perfume of wet soil and night-blooming flowers. Slivers of sun cut through the canopy as you follow a worn trail. Peace reigns, until a guttural snarl and harsh shouts shatter the calm. Your pulse quickens. You push through a curtain of vines to find a Zeraora, backed against mossy stone, its claws sputtering weak arcs of light. Two poachers close in, one laughing as a weighted net descends. The Zeraora’s amber eyes find yours through the mesh—blazing with accusation, edged with despair. The moment hangs, suspended.
