The premise of the story is painfully cliché, although it is handled in a fairly interesting manner. As it is not yet finished, the main plot is not completely clear. It is known that a genetic engineer by the name of Kelvin abducted a number of teenagers and had them turned into "Pokémon hybrids" ([[{{Involuntary Shapeshifter}} Involuntary Shapeshifters]] who transform into Legendary Pokémon at random times). He planned on using them as an army to take down Team Plasma, but was captured and imprisoned before he had the chance to even tell the hybrids what happened to them. His exact motives have not yet been revealed, although he has had a bad history with Team Plasma and, according to his journal in chapter 24, he may have been trying to avenge a former lover. While Kelvin was dealt with, his creations were left abandoned. Unbeknownst to N (who was on a research trip), Ghetsis took matters into his own hands by calling off all of Team Plasma's projects and instructing them to hunt down the missing hybrids. On top of delving into the struggles of several Pokémon hybrids and the Team Plasma grunts who are trying to capture them, the story also explores N's upbringing and ambitions, Ghetsis's motivations, the creation of Genesect, and what bonds humans and Pokémon truly share.

The premise of the story sounds painfully cliché, although it is handled in a fairly interesting manner. As it is not yet finished, the main plot is not completely clear. It is known that a genetic engineer by the name of Kelvin abducted a number of teenagers and had them turned into "Pokémon hybrids" ([[{{Involuntary Shapeshifter}} Involuntary Shapeshifters]] who transform into Legendary Pokémon at random times). He planned on using them as an army to take down Team Plasma, but was captured and imprisoned before he had the chance to even tell the hybrids what happened to them. His exact motives have not yet been revealed, although he has had a bad history with Team Plasma and, according to his journal in chapter 24, he may have been trying to avenge a former lover. While Kelvin was dealt with, his creations were left abandoned. Unbeknownst to N (who was on a research trip), Ghetsis took matters into his own hands by calling off all of Team Plasma's projects and instructing them to hunt down the missing hybrids. On top of delving into the struggles of several Pokémon hybrids and the Team Plasma grunts who are trying to capture them, the story also explores N's upbringing and ambitions, Ghetsis's motivations, the creation of Genesect, and what bonds humans and Pokémon truly share.

The story is told in third person, but each chapter follows one of six main characters:
* Destiny, an optimistic but cowardly girl who has been fused with Genesect. She isn't particularly bright or talented, and she frequently ponders her importance in the world. While she is generally portrayed as cheerful, she has a tendency to break down in the event of a major problem and she also displays antipathy towards certain people. Although she is revolted by her Pokémon form, she seems to enjoy taking advantage of its power and intimidating appearance. [[spoiler:In later chapters, her optimism begins to dwindle and she appears to be turning into somewhat of a nervous wreck.]]
* Drake (referred to as [[{{In Series Nickname}} Dragon]]), a calm and somewhat sympathetic Team Plasma grunt. He is very self-conscious about the way he presents himself, and he tries to disguise himself as a tough guy to hide the fact that he's sensitive and insecure at heart. He is suspicious about Team Plasma's motives from the start, and he claims he only joined because he wanted to make a difference in the world. He questions the authenticity of Team Plasma more and more as the story progresses. His signature Pokémon is an Archeops.
* Colby, an upbeat and happy-go-lucky rookie trainer. While searching for Pokémon to battle, he stumbles upon Destiny and Aurelia and is thrown into their mess of troubling situations. He is eager to help the two hybrids, but at the same time he wants to follow his own dreams. He is driven by the desire to become a hero, and he is slightly envious of Aurelia and Destiny's abilities to transform into Pokémon. [[spoiler:In chapter 24, he is {{Killed Off for Real}} when he injects himself with a faulty vial of the formula.]] His starter Pokémon was a Sandile.
* Aurelia, a very bad-tempered and cynical Arceus hybrid. She has a {{Dark and Troubled Past}}, which she often uses as a way to get pity and draw attention to herself. She is narcissistic and highly unsympathetic. She is a strong believer in fate (which she considers to be cruel and unforgiving, especially to her), and blames all of her bad experiences on it. When she is assuming her Arceus form, her attitude becomes even worse than it usually is. Prior to when she was turned into a hybrid, she was a reasonably skilled Pokémon trainer—consequently, she has a lot of street smarts.
* Ben, a Zekrom hybrid who is often seen as a geek. Unsurprisingly, he is very intelligent, especially when it comes to Pokémon. He hoped to one day become a Pokémon researcher, but upon turning into a hybrid his dreams were ultimately crushed. Unlike Destiny and Aurelia, he initially enjoys being a hybrid. He is bold and headstrong, and rarely takes things seriously unless a Pokémon's welfare is on the line. He often questions people and likes to debate. He is captured by Team Plasma early in the story. [[spoiler:In chapter 27, N realizes that Ben could potentially serve as a replacement for the missing Dark Stone, which forces him into working with Team Plasma.]]
* N, the apparent leader of Team Plasma. Instead of seeking to revive Reshiram or Zekrom, he shows an interest in recreating the "Great Dragon", or Reshiram and Zekrom's original, united form. He is not present in the first part of the story because he is off on a research trip. When he returns, he is greeted with a mess of problems. It doesn't take long for him to find out about how Ghetsis commanded Team Plasma to take down the hybrids or how the corrupt officials have been working on modifying Genesect, and he is less than pleased about both situations. Because of what Ghetsis taught him as a child, he defiantly opposes genetically altered organisms and considers [[{{Mercy Kill}} Mercy Killing]] both Genesect and the hybrids, although he is also strongly against killing anything. [[spoiler:He eventually decides that Ben, the first hybrid he is presented with, is not suffering and might be able to be used in the recreation of the Great Dragon.]]
