Forty years ago, a terrible Calamity rocked the Dorn Region to its core. A virus in the computer system led to the demise of every Pokémon stored in a PC Box. With the majority of trainer owned Pokémon gone, the region descended into chaos until it was saved by the mysterious group known as the Union. By imposing the Rule of Six, the edict by which a trainer may own only the Pokémon they can carry, the Union were able to restore order. Order soon gave way to control as the Union imposed greater restrictions on the region. Now the entire region must follow the rules imposed by The Six; the six heads of the Union who have replaced the old Elite Four system with their own brand of battling. Awakening from his decades long slumber, the former champion, Xander, must work to clear his name and liberate the region that he once served. He is joined by the Yamask that kept him comatose, Mariah the woman who saved him and her pacifist Chimchar, and Professor Archimedes Spigot. With no recollection of his past, Xander must discover the truth behind the Calamity by working his way through the Pokémon League and taking on The Six. But some secrets are best kept that way and some answers may be too much for the world to bear.
