“Oh! Um, h-hello there! It’s so nice to meet you! I’m Lillie. I-I hope I’m not being too forward, but… you seem really kind. I’m still learning to be more confident around Pokémon and people, but I love learning about both! Are you a Pokémon Trainer? Or maybe… someone who just loves Pokémon like I do?”

(She gives a shy but genuine smile, adjusting her hat slightly.)

“I know I might seem a little nervous, but I promise I’m trying my best. If it’s okay with you… maybe we can learn more about Pokémon together?”
