PROLOGUE: A VERY BRIEF INTRO
Welcome to Pokémon Island! Here, wild Pokémon live in the island zones, free from the constraints of a PokéBall and Trainer battles. For decades, Trainers have been steered clear of this area, as it is a wildlife preserve, a place dedicated to the growth of natural Pokemon. It was set up by the Wild Pokemon Preservation Community to stabilize the Pokémon population, saving their lands instead of converting them into new cities or highways. On these islands, it is the only place Pokémon are able to live truly free. They are not spread into grassy areas in towns for Trainers to catch them, and because of that, they are much stronger than the average city Pokémon, growing up on their instincts rather than the tenderness and bonds they share with their Trainers.
Located in the Serenity Ocean, the chain of islands consist of six major islands and several islets that are uninhabited or simply visited by other Pokémon on occasion. For the most part, it is the six major islands that can be seen from space. Tourism is a no-no for the island as Pokémon appreciate their privacy and the WPPC confirms that by only allowing pictures and videos to be taken from afar. And, because of no human contact, there aren't any endangered species of Pokémon struggling to survive.
The climate of these islands are typical for the tropics: hot days and cool nights, though there are other areas that are so extreme in temperature due to the other types of Pokémon that exist here as well, such as Ice and Fire. So, depending on the island, the temperatures vary to a great degree. The famous Legendary Pokémon (as called by Trainers) have never appeared on these islands. On another note, Shiny Pokémon are also 8% higher than in the human cities, where they are bred like machines for their color alteration.
Activists for years have worried about the increasing number of Trainers coming to the various regions and capturing and trading Pokémon to one another. They feared Pokémon would change into mere house pets and not the wild creatures they should be, free to explore and loose of any human contact. They were also worried about the millions of dollars put into Pokémon research and the development of new ways to modify Pokémon, such as the recent Mega Evolution. As a result, the WPPC was forged with thousands of members supporting the right for Pokémon to have their own land and not trapped in the concrete world built by human beings. This may have caused anger in Trainers around the globe, but they were ensured that the WPPC were not attempting to take Pokémon away from Trainers but merely to give them a place where Pokémon could roam as they pleased and not be acquired and trained according to their master's wills. Still, the anger remains.
But those Trainers would be the least of the Pokémon's troubles, after this moment that would change the peaceful islands for an eternity...
