• 0:03
  SPEAKER_02: In Ballora, where steel and spirit are forged as one, a new journey begins.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_02: With courage in his heart and a dream in his eyes, Caden sets out to rise above every trial.
• 0:16
  SPEAKER_02: This is Pokemon Valor Rising.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_02: For 10-year-old Caden, though, sleep had been impossible.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_02: Today was the day he'd waited for since he was old enough to walk, the day he would become a Pokemon trainer.
• 1:01
  SPEAKER_02: He raced down the familiar dirt road to the brick building on the hill, his scarf trailing behind him.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_02: The doors to Professor Buckeye's lab loomed larger than ever, each step bringing him closer to the dream he had held for so long.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_02: But the moment he pushed open the doors, his excitement faltered.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_02: The lab was quiet, too quiet.
• 1:20
  SPEAKER_02: Papers lay scattered across a desk, machines hummed in the corners, but on the oak table where three pokeballs should have gleamed in the morning light, there was nothing.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_02: Professor Buckeye stood nearby, shoulders heavy, expression clouded with worry.
• 1:37
  SPEAKER_01: What happened?
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_02: Caden blurted, his chest tightening.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: Where are the starters?
• 1:42
  SPEAKER_02: Buckeye sighed, the lines in his face deepening.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: I'm afraid there's been trouble.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_02: Sometime during the night, an unknown group broke in.
• 1:50
  SPEAKER_02: The three Pokemon meant for new trainers were taken.
• 1:55
  SPEAKER_02: Caden's stomach dropped.
• 1:57
  SPEAKER_02: For a moment, all the excitement that had carried him here drained away.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_01: But that was supposed to mean my first partner.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: My Pokemon.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: His voice wavered.
• 2:12
  SPEAKER_01: It's not fair.
• 2:14
  SPEAKER_02: As silence stretched, a small sound stirred in the corner.
• 2:19
  SPEAKER_02: From beneath a stack of blankets padded a tiny brown Pokemon with large ears and bright, curious eyes.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_02: It looked up at Caden, tilted its head, and let out a gentle, reassuring cry.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: Evie, Buckeye said softly, she stayed behind.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: Not one of the chosen starters, but a companion I've raised here at the lab.
• 2:41
  SPEAKER_02: She wouldn't leave my side after the break-in.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_02: Evie trotted forward, nuzzling against Caden's leg.
• 2:47
  SPEAKER_02: His eyes widened.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: He sank to his knees, brushing a hand through the Pokemon's soft fur.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_02: The ache in his chest eased just a little.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_02: You're You're amazing, Caden whispered.
• 3:02
  SPEAKER_02: Evie yipped as if in agreement.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_02: Professor Buckeye watched the scene unfold, his stern expression giving way to a quiet smile.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_02: Perhaps fate has its own way of choosing, Caden.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_02: If you are willing, Evie can be your first partner.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_02: Not the path you expected, but sometimes the strongest bonds are formed in unexpected trials.
• 3:25
  SPEAKER_02: Caden looked up, eyes shining again.
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_00: Really?
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_00: Evie?
• 3:30
  SPEAKER_00: With me?
• 3:31
  SPEAKER_02: Buckeye nodded, placing a pokeyball gently in his hand.
• 3:34
  SPEAKER_02: Take her.
• 3:35
  SPEAKER_02: Protect her, and she will protect you.
• 3:39
  SPEAKER_02: Together, you'll carve your own path across Valora.
• 3:43
  SPEAKER_02: Caden held the ball tightly, but when he looked down, Evie was still pressed close against him, unwilling to leave his side.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_02: He laughed, the sound breaking through the heaviness that had filled the room.
• 3:56
  SPEAKER_01: I think she wants to walk with me instead.
• 3:59
  SPEAKER_02: Then let her, Buckeye said.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_02: Your journey has begun.
• 4:05
  SPEAKER_02: With Evie trotting happily at his side, Cadence stepped out of the lab onto Unionville's quiet streets.
• 4:12
  SPEAKER_02: The morning sun had risen higher now, lighting the road that wound eastward beyond the town.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_02: The loss of the starters still weighed on his heart, but something stronger was already pushing against it.
• 4:25
  SPEAKER_02: A bond with Evie.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_02: As sudden as it was certain.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_02: He knelt down, scratching behind her ears.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_00: I guess it's you and me, partner.
• 4:35
  SPEAKER_00: Let's show Valora what we can do.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_02: Evie barked in delight, tail swishing, and together they took their first step toward the horizon.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: The road out of Unionville stretched long and quiet, the fields whispering with summer winds.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: Caden and Evie walked side by side, their shadows long in the morning light.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_02: At first, Evie trotted ahead, darting after drifting leaves and pausing to sniff every stone along the path, but each time she strayed too far, she turned back, making sure Caden was still there.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_02: Caden chuckled.
• 5:13
  SPEAKER_01: You're curious, huh?
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_01: I guess we'll both be discovering a lot of new things.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: Evie tilted her head, then bounded back to him, her fur brushing against his leg.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_02: They stopped beneath an old oak tree where the branches stretched wide and the air was cool.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_02: Caden sat in the grass, setting down his pack, and Evie curled up beside him, tail wrapping around her paws.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_02: For a long moment, neither of them moved.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: The world was still, and the boy realized he wasn't alone anymore.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_02: He reached out gently, resting his hand on Evie's back.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_02: Her fur was warm alive.
• 5:53
  SPEAKER_01: You're not what I expected, he admitted softly.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_01: But maybe you're exactly what I needed.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_02: Evie's ears flicked, and she pressed her head into his hand with a quiet cry.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_02: In that moment, any disappointment from the stolen starters faded away.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: There was no regret, no uncertainty, only the certainty that this was the partner he was meant to have.
• 6:19
  SPEAKER_02: Caden looked down the road again, his heart steady now.
• 6:23
  SPEAKER_02: Together, he and Evie would rise to meet whatever trials Valora held.
• 6:29
  SPEAKER_02: Another step taken, another trial overcome.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: The journey through Valora continues.
