things have changed a lot since the times of old in the pokemon universe; as the years passed, the globe itself began to change, the tectonic plates of the earth shifting in time. the eight separate regions have slowly melded together into one single continent; it is called "iroiro", which essentially translates to "many" and "a variety". things were great for awhile, with all pokemon types and people groups getting along very well with one another for many years. many people believed that the legendary pokemon had vanished, since none of them had been seen for nearly a millennia. but peace cannot so easily be achieved and maintained; there was a group of anarchists who wanted nothing more than ultilmate chaos all across iroiro known as the anarkhia. they developed a virus that caused symptoms very similar to rabies in pokemon; they turned violent against humans and other pokemon as the virus attacked them at a chemical level. ultimately, the infected pokemon would die from it, but the hope of the anarkhia was that they would take many others down with them. somehow, they had gathered a group of the missing legendary pokemon, and once they were injected with the virus, they were released into different parts of iroiro to reek havoc.
the universe somehow knew that this would happen; just over eighteen years ago, 18 children were born on the same day all across iroiro. at first, they all seemed like the average/normal kids, but it was clear at a young age that each of them were different. the universe had gifted each of these children with a type, just like the pokemon had. there was one person gifted each ability; they have the ability to communicate with all pokemon of their type, as well as are able to use that ability themselves in some way. for example, the grass-type person has the ability to speak with all grass-type pokemon, as well as create plant life such as growing flowers.
these 18 young adults have all received the same, nearly identical dream. both mew and mewtwo gave a warning of the anarkhia, of the infected legendary pokemon, and the true upcoming danger threatening their world as they knew it. they have been given a meeting place; a meadow out where the grass-type specialist lives, that is big enough for all of them and their pokemon partners. these 18-year-olds are the only ones who can *hopefully* change the fate of the future and save their world. it is also important to note that no one has seen the infected legendaries yet; people have only begun to witness the sick or strangely acting regular pokemon.
