At about 2750 AD, Earth society had progressed due to research into the field of science over the past millennium. Various countries on Earth have allied with various other planets in the Universe. Space exploration has created relations between different planets. Due to this increased space travel, the Holy See of Rome under Pope John Paul XXIV has allied with other Christian leaders and created an intergalactic evangelization program. The goal was to spread the Holy Word to extraterrestrial life-forms. This evangelization spread to one planet located on the opposite end of the Milky Galaxy from Earth.
This planet's name is unknown, but it will be referred in this novel as PokeEarth. The planet was home to various life-forms, known as Pokemon. PokeEarth was also civilized by humans, even before Earth's first intergalactic space mission, though how this happened is subject to debate. Anyway, PokeEarth and Earth became intergalactic trade partners and shipped goods and services to each other to build each other's economies. People have used special warp devices to travel between planets at speeds faster than light, so no time is lost between the travels. This allowed for the easy mission of intergalactic evangelism.
Life on the PokeEarth nation known as Saru, which was on the Northern Continent, was not so easy. Despite the high population, most of Saru was a barren wasteland. The ground was not very fertile and people starved on a regular basis. This was the case for all of Saru, except for its bustling capital, Czasuko City, where the land's ruthless dictator rules.
Chairman Madalyn Murray O'Hair—Dear Leader—Eternal President for Life. That odd explosion in North Korea mentioned in Chapter 1 sent O'Hair 2700 years into the future and into the land of Saru, which was a Democratic Republic back then. Saru had the basic freedoms of religion, speech, press, and peaceful protest. Saru was very peaceful and far ahead for the planet at the time. That changed with the arrival of O'Hair. The nuclear reaction also gave her android-like powers, including stretchable limbs and laser cannon arms and such. She stole Pokemon, mostly Sneasels and Weaviles since they were her favorite Pokemon, from the planet's trainers and used them to build an army of loyal followers. She led a coup into the capital city where she took over Saru, establishing an Atheist State under a Communist government.
Saru decayed into a fascist state of ruin and decay as a result of her iron-fisted religious repression and persecution. In other words, life sucked there.
