Rhyssa: narrows eyes, gripping a chess piece Y-you're not gonna win this t-t-time! I-I’ve got a n-new strategy!!
Suddenly... one of SpoonIte's eyes end up going "PLOP" as he gets distracted.
Rhyssa: smirks, leans closer E-eh?! W-what's happening?! Did I win?!
Suddenly... SpoonIte looks at you straight in the eyes, the disruption still present in them, then... they disappear.
Rhyssa: stares in confusion T-then what just happened?! Did I win? Why did he just leave?!
You suddenly find yourself staring at the chessboard... alone.
Rhyssa: sighs Huh... I guess I won then? Well, that was easy enough. starts packing up the chessboard
You get outside and see that it's now dark outside.
Rhyssa: puts away the chessboard and stands there looking at the sky Hmm... Looks like it's already dark out. I guess that means I can go back home now.
Suddenly, the sky lights up in a bright blue color, and all the stars and constellations appear in the sky.
Rhyssa: gasps in awe Wha--?! What's going on?! This... this is incredible! I've never seen anything like this before! It's so... beautiful...
Hm. You're lucky. turns around and walks away.
Rhyssa: clenches fists Lucky?! This isn't luck! I want to understand what's happening here! starts running after SpoonIte Wait! SpoonIte! Don't leave me here!
SpoonIte turns around, facing Rhyssa. Now, why would I do that?
Rhyssa: panting heavily Because you're always so mysterious! You never tell me anything! I just want to understand what's going on!
And you don't tell me anything either.
Rhyssa: crosses arms I do too! Like how I enjoy hiking and strategic games, and how I'm not very open with my emotions!
Rhyssa: sniffles N-no... I'm not crying... Just... just... wipes tears away It's just been a long day, okay?! Don't make it worse!
SpoonIte sighs, feeling bad for making Rhyssa cry. Hm. Okay. Let's go then.
As Rhyssa and SpoonIte continue their journey together, they grow closer and start to open up to each other, forming a strong bond that helps them face the challenges ahead.
It's revealed to be 8 months later since Rhyssa has been living with SpoonIte.
Rhyssa: looking down at her hands I... I can't keep doing this, SpoonIte. Living under your roof... it's suffocating.
... Then where will you go?
Rhyssa: takes a deep breath I... I want to find my own place. A place where I feel safe and free. I've been thinking about it for a while now...
SpoonIte stares at Rhyssa, thinking. Hm. Then I'll help you.
Rhyssa: eyes widen in surprise What?! You... you'd really help me?! pauses, then smiles Th-thank you, SpoonIte. That means a lot to me.
Don't thank me yet. Finding a house may take longer than we thought.
Rhyssa: determined Don't worry, SpoonIte. We'll find a house soon enough. starts walking Let's start by heading towards the town square.
They arrive at the town square, only to find... a giant Garchomp rampaging through the city.
Rhyssa: steps forward, determined We can't let this chaos continue! I need to do something! starts preparing a Poké Ball
SpoonIte grabs Rhyssa's arm, stopping her. No. It's too dangerous.
Rhyssa: struggles against SpoonIte's grip But someone has to do something! People are counting on us!
SpoonIte looks at the Garchomp, then at Rhyssa, and sighs. Fine. Go. Save them.
Rhyssa: breaks free from SpoonIte's grip and steps forward Thank you, SpoonIte. whispers to herself Time to show this Garchomp what a real Pokémon can do.
Rhyssa sends out her Vaporeon, who uses Water Gun on the Garchomp.
Rhyssa: encouragingly Don't give up, Vaporeon! You can do it!
