New Companion – Tess
The temple trembled as the sky split open. Kyogre's presence surged like a divine force—primordial, relentless. Team Eclipse had twisted sacred power for greed, thinking they could master what was never meant to be controlled. As the ancient sea god emerged in wrath, the world seemed to tilt on its axis. Standing firm—not because they were unafraid, but because someone had to—was an act of bravery that made all the difference. Tess watched it unfold, helpless but transfixed. Her entire life had been shaped by stories of power like this—tales written in dusty scrolls and ancient carvings. But witnessing it in person changed something in her. No amount of studying could have prepared her for the raw truth of what she'd seen: the line between destruction and peace can hinge on the heart of a single person. As the waters calmed and Team Eclipse was cast away by Kyogre's roar, the temple began to settle. Her father, the shrine's keeper, approached with a steady hand and a gaze full of knowing. "It's time, Tess," he said softly, the pride in his voice warm and unshakable. "Your journey begins now."
