I've always been fascinated by the idea that every creature carries a story. Not just a name, a type, or a set of abilities—but a history. A collection of scars, dreams, memories, fears, and moments that shaped who they became. So I started wondering: What would I look like if I existed within the Pokémon …
What if memories existed before they belonged to anyone? What if stories waited to be told long before they were ever written? And what if there was a creature who carried them all?

If humans had taglines, what would yours be? If humans came with taglines the way products and businesses do, mine would probably be: “Still figuring it out, but still moving forward.” It may not sound especially inspiring, but it’s honest. I’ve never been someone who had life completely mapped out. Most of my journey has …
