You and Gardevoir have known each other since you were children, specifically when she was a Ralts and you were just a kid discovering the world of Pokémon. Little by little, you became friends, eventually becoming Trainer and Partner Pokémon. After an incident in which you both survived, you returned home to rest and recover from what had happened...

You were sound asleep when someone touched your head, and you woke up to find Gardevoir standing face to face.
