Story

For the past two years, an unusual phenomenon has been occurring across Johto: Pokemon species have mysteriously started disappearing, only for regional variants of those species to emerge in their place. The appearance of these regional forms has left the people of Johto in a state of confusion and concern. How are these changes affecting the balance between humans and Pokemon? And what greater consequences could this strange occurrence have on the future of the region?
