A professor named Eiche is about to give you your first Pokemon — but a Team ShockIt member bursts in and steals both the Pokemon and a key item called the E before you can choose. Without a Pokemon, you cannot go after them. Fortunately, a fellow novice named Maike happens to be nearby and recovers the stolen items. What seems like a simple recovery mission quickly becomes something else: the Pokemon and the E have already been moved to a top-secret laboratory where the team is working on creating an ultimate Pokemon. Complicating things further, your unauthorized storming of Team ShockIt's headquarters has brought the police after you as well.
