The world was almost empty, except for one person who stood alone in the darkness. Nothing but the sound of his footsteps echoed out into the world around him.

"Bonjour to every one of you! My name is Augustine Sycamore, the Pokémon Professor of the Kalos region!"

He threw a sphere into the air. A bright flash lit up the space, shifting the world from black to white. When the light dissipated completely, a small goat creature remained. It let out a small cry, the grassy neck rustling as it ran around in the space with unrestrained glee. Sycamore chuckled. With a whistle, the creature ran towards the brunette with a happy bleat.

"Pokémon live in every corner of the world, whether it be on the highest of mountains, the wide grassy plains, the deepest of oceans, or the skies above us."

Images of the world circled him. A flock of bird-like creatures with cloud-shaped wings flew near the sunset, their warbling cries echoing in the endless expanse that was the sky. A group of horses with fiery manes dashed around the plains at night, the embers of their trails never once setting the grass beneath them aflame. Under the beautiful blue ocean were fish-like monsters that swam with their groups, setting off a rainbow of colors underneath the waves. Towering mountains had enormous creatures that resembled the white powdered treetops who strode through the snow with smaller versions of them waddling behind.

"We interact with Pokémon, forming bonds with them and catching them using Pokeballs." He spread out his arms, his white coat fluttering behind him. "And in this world, the way that Trainers introduce themselves is through a Pokémon Battle! Partaking in the Pokémon League Challenge is something that many aspiring Trainers undergo! By challenging Gym Leaders and fighting against the Elite Four who are a part of the Pokémon League, one can see their talents and strength shine amongst the best of the best!"

A wave of cheers roared in the white world that Sycamore showed. From what one could see, there were towering pillars of white that held the symbols of all Pokémon types. In the background were multi-colored glass windows depicting the same sphere, the Pokeball, that Sycamore had thrown. However, the most attention-grabbing of all these things were the two people standing on opposite sides.

"...And the strongest that stands beyond all of them is the Pokémon League Champion!"

One end was a young woman in white with similarly-colored wings. On the other end was a dark-haired teen who threw a Pokeball. In a burst of light, it unleashed an unsheathed sword darting at its opponent with no hesitation.
