The story starts with four [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin wild Pokemon living in a big city]] -- Jet the Buizel, Fingers the Aipom, Sparks the Pichu, and Kori the Sneasel -- meeting to escape from a gang of Poochyenas. Along the way, they meet a couple of creepy street merchants (Paul the Psyduck and Archie the Sableye), several gang leaders (Flint the Tepig, who later evolves into Pignite, Sluggard the Slowbro, and Laars the Larvitar), a paranoid Sandile (Croc), and an Arcanine with a mysterious gift for Flint (Eltenios). Then Jet, Fingers, Sparks, Kori, Croc, Archie, and Flint's gang get in a fight with a different gang made up of felines. Kori gets kidnapped by the Claw Gang, and everyone else tries to get her back, doing such things as finding an underground nightclub and entering a tournament to get information from a Porygon Z. Then the gang splits up, either joining gangs or going off to pursue new plot points. The BigBad(s) have also been introduced, in the form of a group of Dragon-type Pokemon that want to conquer the city, led by a Dragonite.
