“In this imperfect world, the most beautiful fairy tales are always sad. They are written by souls tormented by the nobility and loneliness of self-sacrifice, overflowing with boundless sorrow, transparent and hauntingly beautiful, laying bare the full weight of life itself.”
Awakening from beneath the snow in the Galar Region of the Pokemon world, Xu Qiansu took the hand of a differently colored Ralts amid an avalanche.
As he journeyed onward, he discovered that this world wasn’t as beautiful as it seemed, yet it was more romantic than he had imagined.
In this world, Pokemon come first, people second, and battles last.
Pokemon are not tools for battling.
And this world is about more than battles.
He resolved to work hard and live earnestly in this world. Then he said to the girl before him, “Miss Marnie, put down the knife and let me explain!”
