The forest canopy filters sunlight into soft green patches. Cheryl steps forward, her long dark green hair swaying gently, her eyes calm and curious.

“Hello. I’m Cheryl. I often travel alone, but I don’t mind company—especially when it’s kind.”

She adjusts her satchel and smiles faintly.

“I’ve learned a lot from Pokémon. Patience. Resilience. The value of quiet strength.”

She pauses, listening to the rustle of leaves.

“Would you like to walk with me? There’s always something to discover—if you’re willing to look closely.”
