The region is overwhelmed by a wave of crimes. An organization called TEAM ROCKET is carrying out mass Pokémon kidnappings, creating unprecedented panic.
The police forces are doing all they can to put an end to this period of repression, but the organization of the criminals is such that this is insufficient. Some trainers therefore decide to face TEAM ROCKET on their own, but without real success either, despite the success of some in thwarting some of the organization's plans.
Thus, to strengthen trainers and to avoid centralizing Pokémon in laboratories or centers, a measure was put in place, consisting of equipping all trainers deemed capable of fighting with a Pokémon to defend themselves.
Will this be enough to end the period of turmoil in the region?
