Plot summary
The players walk out of their home one evening, and see the city they grew in, Palcea, completely devastated. They run around to see if the different inhabitants are fine, before suddenly blacking out. The players wake up in their bed. The mother comforts them, assuring it was nothing but a bad dream. Is it true? Was it an illusion? Or is it something more serious? The players have no time to think, their mother has great news: the famous Pr. Opium is waiting to offer their first Pokémon!Main characters (sprites to be improved)
- Benji is a boy full of energy who comes from a family of farmers. He always has a positive attitude, making him quite easy to approach. Sadly, this optimistic behavior will disappear when Benji is out of his comfort zone. Crowded places and big cities are very difficult for him to handle. Benji also tends to joke about everything, quite immature, will he grow up during his journey?
- Kayle’s family has noble ascendants. His mother left this bourgeois universe to raise her kid in a calm city far from the big ones. Still, he received a strict education, focused on politeness and impeccable behavior, which made Kayle feel different compared to other kids. His reactions were much mature than it should, making him worry to be looked down as a weird child. Due to that reason, he never really had friends in the village, making him feel quite lonely. Will he develop the courage to open his heart to other, to free himself from the illusion of being different?
- Selena is an excited girl. She has 2 little brothers, making her more of a tomboy. Sportive, overactive, event turbulent, Selena is an emotional girl who never cared about hurting people around due to the boyish environment she lives in. However, she is a girl who would sacrifice herself for the people she loves without hesitations. She even lives through them, making her, sometimes difficult to pin down. She learned to live around her brothers, around her mother, and never really cared about her personal needs. Will she develop her own personality? Will she learn compassion? Will she stops running away from her feelings, and live her life by herself and not through others?
