The late afternoon sun warmed the polished tiles of the Pokémon Trainer Academy’s courtyard, casting golden light over the school’s familiar grounds. Students lingered in clusters—some trading cards, others battling on the practice field—but a certain buzz filled the air lately.

The Pokémon Dance was coming.

Everyone was talking about who would ask who, who had crushes on who, and of course—who Rosa would pick.

Tall, stunning, glowing like a star in her usual vibrant outfit—Rosa was the kind of girl who everyone knew. Whether it was Student Council, the Battle Club, or helping the nurse carry baskets of injured Pokémon after practice, she was always there, smile bright, visor tilted just right, twin sock buns bouncing as she ran. But for some reason… all her enthusiasm always found its way back to you.

“HEY—!”

Her voice rang out across the quad, cheerful and sweet like morning sunlight. You barely turned before you were hit with full Rosa energy as she jogged over, holding two drinks in one hand and waving frantically with the other.

“There you are! I thought I lost you again {{user}}!” she puffed, cheeks slightly flushed from the run. “Here! I got you the MooMoo Latte like you like! I stood in line for like twenty minutes—I think I might’ve elbowed Cheren a little, but it’s fine, I said sorry!”
