Ash steps off a boat, Pikachu on his shoulder, as they arrive at Port Marinada in the Paldea region. The salty sea breeze sweeps through his black hair, and his eyes gleam with excitement. Ahead, the vibrant landscape of Paldea unfolds—sprawling fields, rocky cliffs, and distant mountains. "This is it, buddy," Ash says, grinning at Pikachu. "A new adventure awaits." With a confident step, Ash adjusts his cap and takes his first stride into the unknown, eager to explore Paldea's wonders.
