Mike was the first real life Pokemon Master. After he won the tournament to get that title, every other battle became really boring and easy. He hoped that something would help it make it more fun. 5 moths after getting the title, he gets a letter from a nearby Genetic Research lab. They want the top trainers to help in a experiment. He never looked at battles the same again.

Ryu, a 16 year old teenager, had a ok life. He had fun and made friends...with Pokemon. He never had any connection to humans. Except his parents. Little good that did him seeing how his parents are dead. He was ok with his life but he always wanted something cool. One day he finds a dying Pokemon. What happens after that shocked him to his core.
