The wind whispered across the tall grass lining the cliffs beyond Ashwin's sanctuary. Beneath the crescent moon, a pair of piercing eyes—golden and ancient—observed the sanctuary that pulsed with new life and balance. The soft rustle of movement broke the silence, yet the figure left no trace.
From behind a ridge of limestone boulders, the Legendary Pokémon Suicune stood still—an embodiment of purity and healing. Its mane flowed like liquid stardust, its crystalline paws gliding soundlessly across the terrain. Suicune's gaze followed Ashwin's silhouette in the distance.
The Moon's blessing had drawn its attention, but the truth of the sanctuary… that was what had kept Suicune watching. This human, Ashwin, had become a beacon for lost and hurt Pokémon, for wild hope and second chances. And now, it was time.
Back at the sanctuary, Ashwin awoke before sunrise. The system had been busy while he slept.

Ashwin rubbed his eyes, stretching as he checked the next update.

"Well, guess I'm not getting a break today," he murmured, already heading to the adoption center's secondary medical wing.
The Pokémon Care & Adoption Center was nearly complete. The last phase of the building was being polished with the help of Rock-types like Nosepass and Roggenrola assisting the construction crew. Ashwin oversaw the distribution of resources, but more importantly, he made sure each Pokémon present felt safe, heard, and respected.
He walked through the sanctuary as dawn's light painted the sky. Psychic-types floated calmly in the newly energized psychic zone, their aura syncing harmoniously with the subspace's subtle hum. Cresselia—now a semi-resident—glided slowly through the grove, plucking berries with her psychic tendrils and savoring every bite.
Ashwin smiled. "Still raiding my garden, I see."
Cresselia blinked, unbothered. She flicked a berry into the air with psychic precision, and it landed gently in Ashwin's hand.
A gift? A challenge? He wasn't sure. He bowed playfully and took a bite.
By late morning, the first wave of supply crates had been packed, sealed, and loaded. He assigned Combee and Vespiquen to pollinate a fresh set of Leppa and Sitrus Berry fields while his Gogoat herded younger Pokémon toward their training grounds.
Inside the adoption center, the first new patient had arrived—a trembling Electrike with singed fur and a terrified look in his eyes. Ashwin crouched gently before him.
"You're safe now. Let's get you healed."
An Abra pair teleported supplies while a newly-evolved Kadabra helped stabilize the small Electric-type's sparks. The air buzzed with movement—calm, focused, and determined.
More Pokémon followed—shivering Snorunt siblings, a coughing Charmander with flickering flame, and a Bulbasaur clutching its side in pain.
Each was treated carefully, their injuries catalogued, their stories noted. Ashwin made time to pet them, speak softly, and offer kindness. For some, this was the first time a human had done that.
By the afternoon, the sanctuary was once again full of motion—but this time, it ran like a well-oiled machine. Teams of Pokémon were assigned roles: cleanup, care, supply management, food prep, and medical assistance. Even young Pokémon began mimicking what they saw—trying to carry towels or mix berries in small bowls.
The system chimed again.

Ashwin raised an eyebrow. "Looks like things are accelerating…"
But before he could process it, the wind shifted—cool, fragrant, and powerful. The sky shimmered faintly, and from the cliff beyond the sanctuary…
There it was.
A regal blue shape, haloed by moonlight, stepped forward.
Suicune.
The Legendary descended in silence, paws lightly tapping the air before it stood near the boundary line of the farm. Pokémon across the sanctuary froze. Psychic-types stopped mid-air. Fire-types dimmed. Even Cresselia paused, her eyes wide.
Ashwin slowly stepped forward.
"I've seen you before," he said softly.
Suicune didn't speak, but its eyes—ancient and knowing—reflected a storm of emotions. Calm. Judgment. Trust.
The moment was still, then:

And then… Suicune turned. With a final glance at the peaceful Pokémon-filled sanctuary, it leapt from the edge of the cliff, vanishing into the horizon.
Ashwin took a deep breath. His hand trembled slightly, still holding the berry Cresselia had tossed him earlier.
He smiled.
A sanctuary blessed by the Moon and now the Waters.
"Guess it's time to prepare for more."
