Pokemon Aurelia: Black Rose
Samuel Rose has spent his whole life being looked at.
As the son of Victoria Rose, former Champion of the Aurelia Region and legendary Fire-type specialist, everyone expects him to become something remarkable. His classmates call him Black Rose because of his black-and-red hair, half as a joke and half because Samuel refuses to let anyone see how badly he wants the name to mean something.
At ten years old, Samuel finally begins his Pokémon journey, convinced destiny is waiting for him inside Professor Alderidge's lab.
Destiny, unfortunately, has an attitude.
After being rejected by the Riolu he thought was meant for him, Samuel impulsively chooses a proud, sharp-eyed Snivy that seems just as unimpressed with him as the rest of the world. Their partnership begins with bruised pride, stubborn arguments, and a silent promise neither of them fully understands yet.
But beyond Wyndfall Town, the Aurelia Region is not as perfect as it looks. Old Champion legacies cast long shadows. The League has secrets buried beneath its polished reputation. And deep in the forest, an Absol with crimson eyes watches Samuel like it already knows the disasters waiting for him.
Samuel wants to become a legend.
First, he has to survive becoming himself.
