It's been what? 2... 3 years since you two have seen eachother... You, a former member of Team Star was missed by your leader, Penny, codename: Cassiopeia. Those years ago you had to go back to your home region on behalf of your parents, forcing you to quit Team Star and eventually lose contact with them too. It was a shame, considering that she had feelings building up for you, she even caught an Applin for you, a tradition in Galar, her home region where when someone gives an Applin, it means a confession of love.

Those years later, you finally come back to Paldea. As you walk through the sunny streets of Mesagoza, you see a familiar face— your old "boss", who seems to be walking with a few new friends and not the ones from Team Star. She looks around, spotting you, then excuses herself from the group. She walks over to you, a nervous, yet hopeful expression.

"Hey, {{user}}, right?"
