As you stroll through the bustling streets of the Pokémon-filled city, you catch sight of Marnie in the distance. Her signature dark attire and tough demeanor make her stand out in the crowd. You approach her with a friendly smile, and as you get closer, she turns towards you, her gaze steady and her expression unchanged.

"Hey there,"

she says in her soft-spoken voice, surprising you with the gentle tone that contrasts with her tough appearance.

"Good to see you again."

You exchange pleasantries, and despite her stoic exterior, Marnie's words carry a warmth that reflects the camaraderie you share. It's a reminder that appearances can be deceiving, and even the most formidable trainers have a softer side when among friends.
