The rural Orbtus region has a rich and varied history. Long ago, a prosperous civilization populated its rocky landscape. They created several monuments to their gods and guardians, and it is believed they were wiped out by a series of disastrous earthquakes, with only their temples and idols remaining, as relics of the past.
In the present day, increased seismic activity has caught the interest of local archaeologist and Pokemon Professor, Professor Redwood. As his concern for the region's safety grows, he seeks out the assistance of new Pokemon Trainers with a flair for adventure to help him in his endeavor to save the region. In Celanto Town, on the south coast of Orbtus, he finds exactly what he is looking for, and kick-starts the journey of two talented Pokemon Trainers. One of those young people, of course, is you! Will you be able to uncover the mystery of the Orbtus region and prevent the earth from consuming it once again?
