Summary:

In recent years, pro-human radical groups have emerged over four of the five regions, aiming to use the powers of Pokémon in order to achieve control over the general populace. Fortunately, their unreasonably extremist views have lent them little support, and in each case a powerful trainer has risen from nothing and stopped their evil schemes. But in the Unova region, an all together different group have risen...whose apparently just aim is to liberate Pokémon from their tyrannical human dictators. They have gathered far more support and influence...and are rapidly presenting a danger to trainers everywhere.

The prospective trainer Zane, has never heard about these people. Even if he had, there would have been a low chance of him fighting or joining the cause...he's a bit lazy that way. For instance, the only reason he is departing to the Unova region on a Pokémon journey is to delay the rapidly approaching threat of occupation. After all, being a Pokémon trainer was easy... if a bunch of twelve year-olds could survive it, a bored sixteen year-old should have no problem! Unfortunately...the combination of an inherent lack of experience, a Pokémon companion who isn't overly fond of him and the rising threat of the mysterious Team Plasma, will it be as easy as he expects? Probably not, but it'll be a heck of a lot of fun!
