In a land where Pokémon rule and humans are the subject of nightmares, a human named Michael was found wandering by a rescue team, near the quiet Leefside Town. They brought him back to their town to help him return to his home, but someone is more than determined to stop him, by any means necessary. Worse still, he kept seeing glowing, unearthly silhouettes trying to do the same thing, telling him to turn away from this "path".. and who was that little human following him all the time?
