Pokémon are peculiar creatures with a vast array of different abilities and appearances; many people, known as Pokémon Trainers, capture and train them, often with the intent of battling others. Young Aura Yin Mew Stone has not only becoming well-known as the 'Pokémon Whisperer', but also the 'Youngest Pokémon Herbalist' and 'Hoenn's Maiden'. And on the arrival of her 10th birthday, she finally has the chance to explore the Pokémon World.
Unfortunately, Aura is frail and in need to be accompanied by her brother: Steven Yang Void Stone, a strong, rock-lover Pokémon Trainer.
However, this journey would mark the start of a lifelong friendship and an epic adventure!
Setting off on a journey to further her research, Aura, Steven and their Pokémon travel across the beautiful, sprawling region of Kanto with their new friends Zoey, a Pokémon Coordinator, Cilan, a Pokémon Connoisseur, Alain, a Mega Evolution Pokémon Trainer and Mairin, a young upcoming Pokémon Trainer.
But danger lurks around every corner. The infamous Team Rocket is always nearby, seeking to steal powerful Pokémon through nefarious schemes. It'll be up to Aura and her friends to thwart their efforts as she also strives to earn the eight Pokémon Gym Badges she'll need to challenge the Pokémon League, and eventually claimed the title of Pokémon Master.
Steven Stone: Champion of the Hoenn region, Mega Evolution user, and avid stone collector. Although no one knows his past, or how he even came to be Champion, behind every gem lies an untold tale of formation...
Nine years before the Hoenn Primal Crisis, a younger Steven Stone has been forced to study for most of his life to prepare for becoming the next president of the Devon Corporation. His entire life changes when he receives Meteor, a Beldum with companionship to offer and more than enough to say about it. Once the duo take part in and win their first battle, Steven realizes that he's meant to be a Pokémon Trainer and eventually leaves home.
Not long into his travels, Steven encounters an organization of people with twisted morals and an even more twisted way of expressing them. It doesn't take long to discover what they want- him. With assistance from Meteor, a few new allies, and an intriguing girl named Arietta, Steven can only hope he's able to elude capture so the organization won't ensure the downfall of not only the Devon Corporation, but potentially Hoenn itself.
