Story Overview
10,000 years ago, the legendary Pokémon Mew created the universe and life, including humans and Pokémon. However, Mew also created powerful beings to balance mankind's power. One of these was Ho-oh, known as the "Infernal Legend." Ho-oh, with immense power, was capable of destroying humanity but never chose to do so because of a genetic clause that forbade Pokémon from harming living beings.
Ho-oh’s counterpart, Lugia, waged a war with Ho-oh that lasted 5,000 years. To battle Lugia, Ho-oh created three powerful warriors: Entei, Suicune, and Raikou. Meanwhile, Lugia made an alliance with the three legendary birds: Zapdos, Moltres, and Articuno. After immense devastation, Mew intervened, and the Pokémon were imprisoned in the sky or sea, with the legendary dogs scattered across the world.
In the present day, the protagonist, overshadowed by their brother Lance (the champion of the Midao region), embarks on their own Pokémon adventure. However, a new crisis arises as Team Rocket is suspected of seeking a source of great power tied to the protagonist’s father. The journey begins in Silver Town where the player sets out to investigate and become a Pokémon champion.
