Ever since she was a merely child in a world much bigger than her, Leaf Verde yearned to wander the earth and explore every nook cranny out there, even though she never divulged her secret ambition to anyone. After moving from the loud, noisy, and dangerous Saffron City to the much more peaceful and quaint Pallet Town and an unfortunate event Leaf managed to solve, Professor Oak offers Leaf a chance to indulge in her dreams by giving her a Pokemon of her own. After leaving for her journey, Leaf encounters a colorful array of people and soon makes rivals out of Blue Oak and Red Fire of Pallet Town. Meanwhile, Team Rocket begins stirring up trouble around the region and causing all sorts of problems. With only her newest friends, her Pokemon, by her side, Leaf learns more about herself, her rivals, and the region she grew up in. The Kanto Region is a lot more twisted than Leaf could've ever imagined and the problems aren't just within evil organizations trying to take over the world. Some people are just horrible, even ones with good ideals who believe what they do is right. And, all the while, Leaf wanders around the region, searching for her place in the world.
