An origin story for Pokemon Go. Winston Alexander Willow, a world traveler, decides to put his nomadic ways behind him to become a Pokemon Professor.
He hires three young eager assistants to help him. The intuitive Spark, the strong Candela, and the intelligent Blanche. Each unique in their own right, but the assistants cause more issues for Professor Willow than the Pokemon do. Between Applesauce smiles, hurling trucks with a trebuchet, and dyslexic research notes. Hope finally emerges when they hatch and evolve their first Pokemon.
Now they just have to set aside their differences, and work with the fledgling professor to better Pokemon kind with their research, a task easier said than done. But the professor has faith in his assistants, and larger than life plans as he takes on the world, hoping to turn a simple app and a dream into reality.
The plan is simple: they need Pokemon, in order to get Pokemon they need to enlist trainers, in order to get trainers they have to get Willows work into the world, in order to do that he needs to write it down, and in order to write it down he needs peace and quiet. But between Pokemon running amok in his lab, constant power outages, inconstant wifi, and three assistants with a talent for making a mess. Professor Willow's dead line inches steadily closer while he puts out fires, sometimes literally.
Join Willow and his nerds in an adventure full of hijinks that answers questions like: Who is Professor Willow? Who are the Assistants? What do they do? Where does the candy come from? Where do all the pidgeys go? And WHY do the servers keep shutting DOWN?!
(I do not own the cover art, it was done by and amazing artist whose name I have not been able to find to give credit. If you know message me and I'll update it.)
Unova, a region where hundreds of Pokemon are still undiscovered and a year before the immoral Team Plasma threatened the peace. Due to the Hero and his friends' valiant efforts the evil organization was disbanded; members scattered across Unova.
Now, Professor Juniper has come back from her journey of assisting the new champion to an eager young girl, one whose Pokemon journey was put off for years by the events, Riley. And the minute the professor returns she's out the door.
As her journey begins, Riley meets a young boy who's labeled himself as a failure, but refuses to accept her help or convenience her with respect. They reluctantly travel together and Riley becomes aware of a name being used to refer to her: Champion, though she hasn't won any gym badges or done anything special.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Team Plasma reorganizes, gaining strength under corrupt Sages and officers and led by Ghetsis. The team preaches a new direction, but the same motives added to a more "direct" and violent approach. It searches for objects it's lost and powerful members who've fled; all the while planning a destructive and unstoppable endgame, eventually crossing paths with Riley.
The new trainer sees Team Plasma's vile actions and builds up a hatred for it, becoming determined to stop them whenever they meet while continuing THE JOURNEY OF A CHAMPION.
