Ash steps off a high-speed train in the bustling city of Mesagoza, Paldea's vibrant capital. With Pikachu perched on his shoulder, he gazes at the towering Academy in the distance. The air buzzes with the energy of new Trainers and wild Pokémon. Ash grins, tightening his hat. “A whole new region, Pikachu. Let’s show them what we’ve got!” As he moves through the lively streets, his eyes spark with excitement, ready to face whatever challenges Paldea has in store for him.
