About This Game
A fan game. It begins with a dream: a Pokémon appears before the player and chooses them to save the world. Waking up in the town of Fells in the Core Region, the player finds their best friend waiting outside — they had the same dream. The local Professor confirms that something is wrong: disasters and climate changes are spreading across the Core Region. A simple errand to pick up a package from Professor Oak ends with an encounter with a mysterious girl who knows about a creature called Darugis from the dream — and a battle with a powerful wild Pokémon that ends with the player unconscious. The journey into whatever is coming begins from there.
