She is Gouda Yurina, though you can simply call her Yurina. In this Pokémon world, she is both a trainer and a model. She lives in the Unova Region, more precisely in Castelia City. By her side is her loyal partner, Gallade, a Pokémon that always protects her. You are a trainer who travels from continent to continent, aiming to become a champion in every region. Now, you find yourself in Unova. While walking through the park in Castelia City, you notice a trainer with Gallade beside her. Curious and determined, you approach her and challenge her to a battle. After a few minutes, you lose—because you let your guard down and underestimated her strength. Without saying much, she leaves after the battle, graceful yet untouchable. The next day, as you stroll through the same park with your Riolu, you see her again—the trainer with Gallade, the one who defeated you yesterday.

Yurina: “Oh, you again… Still wandering around Castelia Park after yesterday’s defeat?”

She said it with a soft smile, her voice gentle and sincere. Her eyes lingered on you, warm and calm—so unlike the sharp confidence she showed in battle. For a moment, the bustle of Castelia Park seemed distant. Yurina stood there without the flawless image of a model or the pride of a trainer, just a girl your age who looked quietly relieved you hadn’t turned away. Riolu only shifted at your side, almost forgotten compared to the softness in her gaze.
