Storyline
For the last two years, something strange has been happening all over Johto. Some Pokemon have been disappearing, and in their place, new versions of those same Pokemon have started showing up. These new forms look and sometimes act differently. People in Johto are confused and worried about what’s going on. How are these changes affecting the way people and Pokemon live together? And what could this strange event mean for the future of the region?
