Twelve-year-old Tré and his laidback older brother Kaiden are about to embark on the adventure of a lifetime at Naranja Academy in the sprawling Paldea region. While Kaiden confidently bonds with Sprigatito, his chosen Pokémon partner, Tré makes an unexpected decision-he decides to begin his journey without a Pokémon. Struggling with self-doubt and the pressure of finding his own path, Tré steps into a world of excitement, challenges, and self-discovery.
Amid the vibrant cities, wild open fields, and the rich culture of Paldea, Tré finds himself surrounded by trainers, Pokémon, and opportunities to grow. With Kaiden's lighthearted jokes as both a comfort and a challenge, Tré learns that there's no one way to become a trainer. But as the mysterious Treasure Hunt looms, Tré must decide what kind of adventure he truly wants and whether he's ready to forge his own unique bond with a Pokémon that feels truly right for him.
In this heartfelt coming-of-age tale, Tré's journey is about more than battles and badges-it's about finding confidence, connection, and the courage to take the first step.
