In the Ario region, Team Wild is a band of rebel bandits roaming the Goldwhite Desert with a purpose they have not disclosed. The player gradually pieces together their plan: somewhere deep within the ruins of Goldwhite Desert sleeps an extraordinarily powerful legendary Pokemon. Reaching it requires a key hidden somewhere in Ario, encoded in riddles scattered across the region. Team Wild's leader wants to use the legendary Pokemon's singular ability — erasing the memories of entire populations — to reset the world's understanding of how Pokemon should be treated, creating a new society where Pokemon are currency and property, with himself at the top. Stopping that plan is up to you.
