Chapter 221: "With the Smashers aiding Lady Palutena's forces, we're sure to win!" was what Pit cheerfully thought, despite the fact his "friends" were groaning one second and screaming the next having to fight Viridi's Forces of Nature...

A team known as Project Empowerment is raiding villages and taking children, with little reason behind their actions. Laryon, a Riolu, and his aunt, Azure, have their own village attacked as Laryon's uncle, Theus, visits, and they flee into a dark forest. This leads to a series of events to correct an ancient legend and break bonds of mistrust and deceit, in the PMD world.
