About This Game

In a world inhabited entirely by talking Pokémon, some living in bustling towns and others dwelling in the wild, one ordinary day takes a strange turn. The player awakens as a Pokémon with a jarring case of amnesia, remembering only that they were once a human. This revelation stuns everyone they meet, for while the Pokémon know of a distant human world, it is meant to remain forever apart from their own. Befriending a kindhearted partner Pokémon, the pair form a rescue team dedicated to helping others in trouble, braving ever-shifting mystery dungeons to save Pokémon lost, trapped, or in danger. Their calling has never been more urgent, as violent natural disasters strike the land with growing frequency and force. As the team takes on missions, builds its reputation, and crosses paths with rival squads, whispers of an ancient legend begin to swirl, hinting that the newcomer's arrival may be tied to the chaos.
