The Orre Region. Unlike most of the other Regions, Orre is not as well-known to the masses, mainly due to the lack of wild Pokémon the region has, the fact that most of Orre is a desert, and also that most things which happen in Orre, stay in Orre. However, Orre is also the home of one of the worst groups to have ever started out – Cipher. Infamous for their abuse of Pokémon, mainly due to their use of Shadow Energy to close the heart of Pokémon and turn them into killing machines which can't feel emotion, they are quite possibly the biggest threat the world had ever seen – even more so than even Team Galactic.
But, whenever an evil team rises up, a Trainer would, more often than not, be drawn into the conflict and eventually stop their plans. And, to Cipher, they have already met that fate twice: the first time, the duo of the Ex-Team Snagem Snagger Wes and the Aura-sensing Rui were able to shut them down, while the second time, their plans – which included the 'unpurifiable' Shadow Lugia, codename XD001 – were stopped by a young teenage kid known as Michael, who then went and purified XD001 thanks to the Purification Chamber.
Years passed, and people's recollection of Snagem, Cipher and the two Shadow Pokémon incidents started to wane, but what was left of Cipher started to set a new plan in motion: one which would eventually cause a new hero to rise up to stop them… a Zoroark who believed firmly that he was indeed a human, and the fact that he was a registered Pokémon Trainer, although one which focused on raising Eeveelutions and, oddly enough for who he really was, couldn't understand sPoké, reinforced his conviction that he was human. And that Trainer's name… was Adam.
