Prologue
A surveillance video of Professor Rowan's laboratory in Sandgem town appeared onto a small television.
"'Pokemon are by our side, always. I hope you will understand the meaning of those words.'"
"That was the comment left by Professor Rowan, who has returned to Sinnoh from the Kanto region. After studying Pokemon in the Kanto region, full of secrets and mystery, for over four years, Rowan returns to Sinnoh again to study the origins of the legendary Mirage Pokemon, said to live in the three lakes of Sinnoh: Lake Verity, located nearest the Professor by Twinleaf Town, Lake Acuity, located to the north of Sinnoh near Snowpoint City, and Lake Valor, located near Pastoria City, home of the Safari Zone."
A girl sat in front of the television, watching intently.
"That concludes our special program, 'Let's Ask Professor Rowan!' Brought to you by Jubilife TV on Nationwide Net! See you next time, same time, same channel!"
The girl turned the television off, and stood up, her long brunette hair flying behind her.
