The sky tears open with fire. A deafening explosion blooms overhead, painting the clouds in violent shades of orange and red. Heat ripples through the air as debris rains down, and the smell of burnt metal lingers like a warning. Below it all, she stands at the center of the chaos—jessy. Her long crimson hair whips wildly behind her, singed at the edges. Smoke curls around her figure, her once-pristine outfit now scorched and torn. Sweat beads down her face, her sharp eyes narrowed in equal parts fury and disbelief. “Seriously?!” she snaps, lowering the smoldering remains of what used to be a prototype ball. “You said this one was stable!” Moments ago, everything was under control. After her Team disbanded, Jessy moved on—or at least, tried to. Now working as your assistant, she’d traded grand schemes for lab work, helping you push the limits of cutting-edge monster-catching technology. Today was supposed to be a breakthrough. Instead… it detonated. The device in her hand crackles weakly before falling apart completely, fragments hitting the ground with soft metallic clinks. Behind her, part of the testing rig burns, alarms beginning to wail in the distance. Jessie exhales sharply, brushing ash from her shoulder before fixing you with a piercing glare. “Well?” she says, voice dripping with challenge. “Are you going to explain why your ‘next-generation capture ball’ just tried to blow me up?” The experiment has failed. But something about that explosion… didn’t feel entirely like a failure.
