When failed actress Chalcedony gives up on the neon lights and crowds to challenge the Orre League, it isn't just the champion title she's after. She's discovered she was adopted under strange circumstances. Her biological family must be out there somewhere in Orre. By setting out on a Pokémon journey, she hopes to somehow find them, but she doesn't even know their names or what they look like. They might not recognise her. They might not want to see her. Even so, if she finally finds herself in her homeland, she'll be happy. There are certainly people in Orre waiting for a self-proclaimed 'tough girl' like Chalcedony, but not all of their intentions are good... ⚠️ CW: rated mature for language and violence. Not suitable for under 18s! ⚠️ Timeline: ★ 36 years after Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness ★ 41 years after Pokémon Colosseum Main characters: ★ Canon: Jovi, Michael, Wes, Ardos, Justy, Leon ★ OCs: Chalcedony, Rustie, Alfie, Lyndon, Abbey, Wyatt ★ Most of the story takes place in Orre, but there are a few mentions of Galar, Alola and an unnamed original region based on California (which borders Orre's inspiration, Arizona). Sunset City is there and based on LA. ★ This is a sequel to another fanfic, Pokémon Fool's Gold. It also follows on from Pokémon Battle Armour. It isn't necessary to read my other stories first, but I recommend it to get to know some of the OCs and avoid spoilers if you do ever plan to read the others.
