1: Genesis

Touya is 18, fresh out of high school, and not entirely sure what he wants to do. Sure, there's college, but not so fast, there. Instead, to avoid the responsibilities of college for a bit, he and his two "friends", Cheren and Bianca, take up a job as assistants at the local (and slightly eccentric) Pokémon lab, a job to travel across Unova, with the gift of a Pokédex and an elemental starter.

The world isn't what it seems, though. A weird cult is spreading its shadow over the region, and a mysterious (and yet, so familiar) stranger named N seems to be in the middle of it all. A battle between truth and ideals is going to take place, leaving Touya to wonder, if he'll see the truth in the world, or stand for his ideals against it.
