Description

Seven years ago (in the concluding events of Dark Rising 2 and Order Destroyed), the mischief entity known as Hoopa trapped the god of all Pokémon, Arceus, in an endless slumber. Two of Arceus’s chosen trainers soon suffered the same fate, leading to chaos and distortion.
Order in the universe was destroyed.
​
Now, humans are nothing more than tools and food for Pokémon, pushed to either rebel against Hoopa’s rule, or become a slave for their new god. You play as a mysterious woman forced to become the latter; a grunt with no recollection of her past before the days of Hoopa’s tyranny. As you work your way up the ranks, you’ll discover memories that may hold the key to unlocking the shackles on humanity.

“She who fights with monsters should look to it that she herself does not become a monster.
​And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.”
– Friedrich Nietzsche

Features

• Competitive Battles (items cannot be used in battle except held items, and players are not given a free switch-in after KO’ing their opponent’s Pokémon. For an easier experience, the latter can be toggled off and on in the options menu via set/shift mode).
• Missions & Rank-Up (players are only allowed access to the shop and healing station before and after missions. Rank Up for more rewards and supplies!)
• Pokémon from Gen 1-8
• Fairy Type and Battle Mechanics/Moves/Items added and updated to Gen 8

Features to be Added

• EV/IV Checker
• Player’s OW Reflection
• High Grass Tile Animation

Beta Errors

• Player sprite glitches after opening the Shop menu (fixes after closing the Shop menu).

This does not impact the purchase or selling of items.

• Exp Bar shows the wrong amount for some Pokemon during battles.

The correct amount can always be seen in the status menu.

• Very few Pokemon like Sinistea have a space in their name during battle.
• SurgeStrike only hits 1 time instead of 2-5 times (the move’s power has been boosted to 80 to compensate)
• Numbers on HP bar can get a little weird if using an HP-Draining move that heals more than max HP.
