The Plasma Cult

A Cult that started in the Unova region. This cult was originally peaceful and was led by the young man known as Natural Harmonia Gropius or just simply "N". He was the king of the people and led them in peaceful protests to encourage people to end Pokémon suffering by permanently releasing their Pokémon from their Pokéball's and the care of humans. It stayed peaceful for some time then split into two opposing factions: Team Plasma, those who remained peaceful and under the control of their King N, and the Plasma Army, those who believed that they needed to use force in order to free and separate human's from Pokémon. This new faction was led by N's own father, Ghetsis, who later revealed that his true motives were to use N as a puppet in order to take over the world.
