How does one live without a dream? Without hope? In a dim future, how do you find the will to go on? We ask these things ourselves on a daily basis. In this meager hand to mouth existence, no one has time to leave home. To do so is to let your family starve. However, they killed my family. Now is the time to make them pay. I was once a powerful trainer; some said I could have been in the elite four. I never bothered to apply. If I had, I would not be here before you. I would probably have ended up dead like most of the other league trainers. It seams like only yesterday...

Reports started flooding in about five years ago. League trainers were being found dead. Some thought it the work of team Rocket. At first, that is. Then powerful trainers in team Rocket showed up dead, too. The murders became more and more frequent, until the dragon master, my friend, Lance, was killed. Officially, anyway. They never did find his body. In any case, after Lance, no one else was killed. Of course, by this time, no one had any faith in the government, either. It took only weeks for the League to collapse. The government declared the entire region of Kanto a disaster area. There was massive looting on the streets and chaos ensued. Eventually, The Government declared Kanto a rouge state and closed its borders with Kanto. Silph Co. was the only meager source of government in the entire region.

So here we are. Five years, and Kanto is still a lawless wasteland. However, not if I can help it. All I have to do is solve five-year-old murders and find out who is behind this. Moreover, more importantly, why.
