you were a student (or a TALKING Pokémon of your choice, insert info on your trainer.) at a local Pokémon academy, watching the news on the vintage tv on a cart thing (OOC: who else remembers those?) about a "meteorite" crashing onto earth and how it connects to the recent attacks of giant Pokémon on cities. your teacher shuts off the tv and walks over to the whiteboard

"questions anyone?" your teacher asked, do you raise your hand?

(note: you can actually speak to humans and even sometimes serve as a speech translator for both Pokémon and humans!!!)
