Ian, once a human now turned Mudkip wakes up to find himself in a world only inhabited by Pokemon. Having no memories of his past, he meets up with a Fennekin named Patience who dreams of joining the Expedition Society. When an ancient evil awakens, turning any Pokemon in its way into stone. It is up to them to solve the mysteries of their past, and save the world from destruction.

A villain is a hero of the other side. She's not his Princess, just a commoner. An accidental pawn to be used to Bowser's advantage in his wicked games. She means little more than any other minion to him. And yet, she shines a warm light in the Dark Land of the Koopas that can't help but be enjoyed by all. The Princess is in another castle...But maybe for once, that's a good thing.
