The beginning cast & Arceus
"In the beginning, there was only a churning turmoil of chaos. At the heart of chaos, where all things became one, appeared an egg. Having tumbled from the vortex, the Egg gave rise to the Original One. From itself, two beings the Original One did make. Time started to spin. Space began to expand. From itself again, three living things the Original One did make. The two beings wished, and from them, matter came to be. The three living things wished, and from them, spirit came to be. The world created, the Original One took to unyielding sleep..."

Taking place after the events of Pokémon Black and White, the story consists of the tales of Trainers who can talk to their Pokémon, who under fear of persecution, concealed the facts of their abilities since birth. They travel all across the Pokémon world in an attempt to discover why they have these powers and possibly dip into the world's tales of creation.

You'll find examples of these tropes in this roleplay:
- Aura Vision: Matt can see the aura of Pokémon.
- Combat Pragmatist: When Cinca's Bisharp and Archeops fail, she just resorts to her handy trench knives.
- Curb-Stomp Battle:
- Implied against Cress, the Striaton City Gym leader, by Shane.
- Also implied by all of Nick's Pokémon by a Volcarona.
- Saber vs. Zeus lasted all of one Ember and then Shock Wave attack.
- Darker and Edgier: Than the regular Pokémon anime. In this, for instance, one of the heroes had to fight his way out of the villainous team's base with his bare hands, and the enemies are generally much better organized.
- Declaration of Protection: Kagato to Tsukasa. Helps that they're siblings.
- Disc-One Nuke: Although it's not too powerful, since the Unova region had been cleared prior, all areas of the region are unlocked and various TMs are now available to the cast. Most notable is TM 26 (Earthquake). Which everybody seems to want.
- Dynamic Entry: Blackjack enters through a window to rescue Shane, even carrying a Garvantua Shield to intercept a Darkrai's attack.
- Egg Sitting: Kaitlyn finds a Larvesta egg. Since then she has put it into an egg case since apparently it emits large amounts of heat. It has now since hatched.
- Green Thumb: Not Nick as a character, but rather his team is based around Grass-type Pokémon.
- The Mole: Adrian Kunstler. He joined Team gestalt not so that he could do evil things, but so that he could screw with them.
- Obfuscating Stupidity: Most of the time Nick spends with his Pokémon has this as his default mode.
- Playing with Fire: Apparently a Larvesta egg emits enough heat to light even campfires. And now that it has hatched, it really likes to play with fire.
- That One Boss: In-Universe. It's implied with Nick's team when he met a level 70 Volcarona with his Level 30's Pokémon.
