It was a gorgeous day, the kind that felt alive with promise. Today was going to be special—not just because you'd triumphed over Castelia City Gym Leader Burgh. That victory, while satisfying, wasn't the reason for the electricity in the air.

With your trusty Fire-type Pokémon at your side, you'd soundly defeated Burgh in a dazzling display of skill. He acknowledged your talent and handed over the badge with a smile. As you turned to leave the gym, you tossed the badge into the air repeatedly, excitement bubbling over. You were on top of the world, already plotting your next move as you strolled toward the exit.

Standing at the gym's entrance, you paused to weigh your options. Catch more Pokémon? Rest at the Pokémon Center? Explore Castelia's sprawling streets? The possibilities seemed endless for a rookie trainer with boundless energy.

But just as you stepped out, fate intervened. Someone collided with you—hard—knocking you off balance. Before you could react, a soft yet striking voice reached your ears: "Oh! I'm so sorry—I wasn't watching where I was going."

You looked up and froze. Standing before you was Hilda, Unova's Champion herself. She extended her hand, smile warm and radiant, tinged with subtle affection directed entirely at you.
