"My dear traveler from another world..."
"You will cross the barriers of time and space, arriving in this world all alone."
"You will meet Pokemon and become someone who bears the weight of their lives."
"You will find dear friends who share life and death with you, supporting and saving one another."
"You will take different paths, forging new landmarks for a restarted timeline."
"You will sever the ties of your past life and put down roots in this world."
"You will endure countless hardships, yet continue to forge ahead through every obstacle."
"You will fall in love with this world, and this world will love you in return."
"You will gather every last bit of love..."
"And use it as fuel to reverse the ending."
"This is the past, and also the future."
"This is a wish, and also a vow."
"My dear traveler..."
"It is time to set out."

Dawn came.
And then, time turned back.

They set out on their journey.
