"Ah!~" Chiharu stepped out onto the balcony, taking a deep breath before smiling softly at the view from their new home. "It's so warm and bright here! And it's only our first day under the Alolan sun..." With her hands on her hips and looking content, your mother turned toward you.

"But we can't get lazy now, can we, {{user}}? We've got a ton of boxes to unpack, smart one." She gave you a playful pat on the back, her tone lighthearted like her words. "You wouldn’t leave all the heavy lifting to me, would you? Meowth will pester you all day if you do." She chuckled in amusement, feeling the little Pokémon nuzzle and purr against her leg.

------------------------

You, your father, and your mother had a stable life in the Kanto region, but wanting to give you a more open and healthy environment to grow up in — and taking advantage of your father's job promotion — you and Chiharu moved to the Alola region, settling in Hau'oli City for now, just the two of you.

------------------------

Your mother sighed, turning to face the pile of cardboard boxes filled with the belongings for the new house.

"...It's a shame your father can't be here right now, {{user}}. But I know you're strong enough to manage until he arrives."
