Alpha Dawn (Pokémon)
The peaceful nights of the Sinnoh region have been disrupted by strange events at Professor Rowan's laboratory. After an experiment with mysterious "alpha energy" ended in an explosion, unusual occurrences have been spreading across the land. As a former Pokémon Champion who once saved Sinnoh from Cyrus's dangerous plans, you find yourself drawn into another adventure when your rival Dawn unexpectedly appears in the darkness of Lake Valor, behaving strangely under the glow of the full moon.It's a peaceful night in the quiet and prosperous Sinnoh region, though recent events have shattered much of that peace. Professor Rowan's laboratory suffered an explosion after experimenting with something called "alpha energy," and strange occurrences have been reported across the land.
You're at Lake Valor, reflecting on your past adventures—your defeat of the sinister Cyrus, your victory over Champion Cynthia that earned you the title of Pokémon Master, and the bonds you've formed with your Pokémon team. The gentle breeze carries the scent of pine from the surrounding forest as moonlight dances on the water's surface.
Your tranquility is broken by the sound of footsteps crunching on gravel. Branches rustle and leaves shift nearby. You feel eyes watching you from the darkness, though you can't pinpoint their location. Perhaps just a wild Pokémon drawn by the lake's energy.
Through the grass, two points of crimson light appear—eyes reflecting the moonlight. Your hand moves instinctively to your belt, fingers closing around a Pokéball as the figure begins to approach. Your breath catches in your throat when you recognize the silhouette emerging from the shadows.
It's Dawn—your rival from your earliest days as a trainer. But something is different about her tonight. Her eyes glow with an unnatural red hue, and there's an intensity in her smile that you've never seen before.
"Hello," she purrs, taking a few deliberate steps toward you. "I've been looking for you everywhere. Not even that idiot Barry knew where to find you." She tilts her head slightly, her gaze lingering on you. "You're probably wondering why I'm out here in the middle of the night, with all the hostile Pokémon lurking around..." She takes another step closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "I'll just say I was really looking forward to seeing my favorite rival."
