Whether it's battling, contests, or art history, Valen's ready to re-claim/claim his rightful place. He'll reach for the top of the mountain alongside Rosa, Hilda, and Melanie. Their friends and them rarely go in alone. They want Wes to join the squad, Wes wants somewhere he belongs.

Valen's Salamence wants to show off his recently acquired strength, but Valen questions his own capabilities as a trainer. (Set seven years prior to the events of Identity, There's No Better Team, and Rosa's Renaissance.)

A trainer with past successes, a passionate individual, a person who geeks out with Rosa over art, these are among the traits of the real Valen. He's lost most of his identity, but he wants it all back. However, he's come to fear running into Hilda. What'll occur when they reunite, and how will they handle their stronger feelings for each other?

Hanging out with her boyfriend and a best friend takes an interesting turn for Rosa. Hilda, founder and president of the BW Agency, has gotten Rosa a painting gig, the patron being none other than Hilda herself. She may get nervous, but Rosa won't pass up her first big commission within the Calvana region.
