The Evil Team of the Game, Team Berserker.

Team Berserk is inspired by the Vikings and is an organization known for its brutal methods in battle as they collect powerful Pokémon for some unknown goal, though there have been some theories. Some people believe they want to take over the region, while others believe it is something much bigger. What is known is the Pokémon they use tend to be as wild as the people in the team themselves with some even blaming Team Berserk for a recent phenomenon known as Rune Pokémon. These energy-infused Pokémon tend to be far more powerful than the average Pokémon, yet also are much more untamed making them especially dangerous.

The Aesir Foundation

​

Throughout your journey you'll encounter The Aesir Foundation, a newly-formed organization ran by Professor Mim and the Champion's brother, Iver. The Aesir Foundation's goal is to gather powerful trainers to assist in quelling these Rune-Infused Pokémon and investigating the various strange ruins within the region. Their research has uncovered a possible connection to the Rune phenomena in the form of wormholes opening in certain spots within the region to a new dimension known as the Astral Realm. This strange Ultra Space-inspired land is almost a parrel to the region is meant to act as an "open world" esq section akin to the Wild Area or Safari Zone from the base Pokémon Games.
This almost secondary region is even host to its own native Pokémon in addition to Ultra Beasts making a return and the addition of some new ones.
