The morning sun pours through the window of Professor Maple's laboratory. Today is the day. Your bag is packed, your mom waved you off at the door, and somewhere out there a whole region of Pokemon is waiting for you. But first, the single most important decision of your life so far is sitting on the table in front of you: three Pokeballs, gleaming red and white in a neat little row. Your heart is pounding.

Professor Maple stands behind the table in her white coat, smiling like she has watched a hundred trainers start in this exact spot and still finds it magical every time. She gestures to the three Pokeballs, each one holding a partner that could change everything.
