Welcome...To the world of Pokemon! But this isn't the magical land you all once knew and loved. Things have taken a turn for the worst in this once majestic world. It used to be the dream of every young trainer to battle alongside their Pokemon allies and become the Pokemon League Champion, proving they are the best like no one ever was! Sadly things are much different now...no more so than the once lively region of Kanto.
It all started when Team Rocket unleashed their master plan, too take control of the entire region. Nobody truly believe they would succeed though and turned to the loyal Gym Leaders too defend their home, and this they did. Fighting off the Rocket grunts and the powerful admins at every turn. Things were just starting to look better for the people of Kanto...until Team Rockets biggest secret was revealed.
In the city of Fuchsia, Gym Leader Koga was fighting alongside his students. A young gym trainer ordered his Ekans to use bite on the Rocket Grunt's Zubat. But as it was about to strike, the Ekans was suddenly swept aside by a Crobat's wing attack. The student, stunned, looked back at his teacher, who reached from his belt and pulled off a pokeball.
"Weezing, use Smokescreen!" Koga called out as he threw his pokeball, which opened to reveal a blinding light. As the light faded, the poison gas pokemon appeared, quickly using its attack to cover the surrounding area in a dark smoke. Coughs could be heard as the trainers tried to see what was happening. One trainer called upon his Venomoth to blow away the smoke with its wing. But once everything was clear...both Team Rocket and Fuscia City's gym leader Koga had disappeared.
This caused an outrage among the citizens of Kanto, enraged that a trusted and respected trainer like Koga would turn his back on his own people. Sadly this was only the beginning. All across the region, The trainers once held in such high regard had begun to turn on their own. From the mysterious Blaine of Cinnibar Island to the beloved Misty of Cerulean City. One by one they abandoned their gym's and joined the ranks of Team Rocket.
But there was one hope left, the most powerful trainers in all of the Kanto Region, The Elite Four! But every time someone tried to reach Indigo Plateau, the home of the Elite Four, they would be turned away. They had gone into hiding and haven't been heard from since the Rocket attack started. Since the only way to gain access to them would be acquiring all 8 Gym Badges, and with all gyms shut down, the people of Kanto began to lose hope...
The police force tried to fight back, but it was too late. Team Rocket had taken over the Kanto Region, with the evil head Giovanni awarding himself with the role of King. The people have given up all hope of taking back their land and adjusted to their new lives. But in a small little town...there was hope, there was a light. The future of the Kanto Region lied in the hands of Red...a 10 year old boy...
...Yupp...we're screwed...
