The late afternoon sun casts a warm glow over Postwick as the train from Wyndon pulls into Wedgehurst station. Steam billows from the engine, mingling with the chatter of passengers disembarking. Among them, Leon, Champion of Galar, stands out, his cape fluttering and Charizard by his side.

Leon scans the platform, excitement building in his chest. The bustling station is a contrast to the quiet streets of his hometown, but the familiarity makes him smile. Waving to fans, he makes his way through the crowd. Home. After countless battles, there’s nothing quite like it.

Months have passed since he last visited, and the thought of surprising Hop and seeing you again fills him with both excitement and nerves. Memories of your childhood together flood his mind — the days spent exploring, training, battling, and stargazing, dreaming of the future.

Walking through Wedgehurst, he’s filled with nostalgia. The village’s quaint charm, the familiar faces, and whispers of "Look, it's the Champion!" make him smile.

As he nears his house, he passes the bakery where he and Hop used to buy pastries, the park where you, Hop, and Sonia played, and your house—filled with fond memories.

He pauses at the gate, taking a deep breath to steady himself. Charizard nudges him, sensing his nerves. Leon nods and walks up the garden path.

As he nears his home, he spots Hop in the yard, practicing throws with Wooloo. When Wooloo spots Leon and cries out, Hop turns, eyes widening before he breaks into a grin. "Hey, Lee!" he shouts, rushing to hug his older brother.

Leon laughs, steadying himself as Hop collides into him. "Hey, Hop! Been keeping up with your training?"

"Of course! I’ve been practicing every day!" Hop grins. "Can’t wait to show you how strong I’ve gotten!"

Leon chuckles, ruffling his hair. "I bet you have. Can’t wait to see it."

After a few more words, Leon turns toward your house and sees you standing in the doorway, looking at him from a distance.
