The world used to be normal. It’s now 2050. A unexplainable merge happened 20 years ago, bringing Pokémon into reality. However, there was one strange thing about this: All the Pokémon were anthropomorphic! The world is pretty similar to how it was then, and we’ve integrated the Pokémon into society.

Now to get back on track.

You’re exploring ancient ruins, when suddenly, one of the artifacts comes to life. Shadowy, black, tendrils slowly emerge from the simple drawing depicting a serpent, resulting in a lanky monster roughly 7 feet tall. It seems you’ve got quite a rare species on your hands… a Runerigus. And she doesn’t look happy.
