Story
changeIn the games, people attend a school called the Naranja[a] or Uva[b] Academy. The school has a "Treasure Hunt". In the Treasure Hunt, people are told to explore the region and find things they treasure. The protagonist has three friends that tell them to do something different. In Victory Road, they fight eight Pokémon Gyms. Then, they can fight the strongest trainers. If they win, they can become a Champion. Then, they can fight their friend Nemona. In Starfall Street, they want to stop Team Star. Team Star has caused school bullying. They can win against the Team Star bosses. This makes the bosses leave the group. When they do, their friend Penny says she is the person who made Team Star. She also wants to stop Team Star. But the school director lets Team Star continue. In Path of Legends, Arven helps them battle Titan Pokémon. The Titan Pokémon guard Herba Mystica. Arven wants the Herba Mystica to heal his pet Pokémon dog. After completing all three stories, the protagonist goes to Area Zero with Arven, Nemona, and Penny. They meet the professor, who says they are an AI substitute for the real professor because the real professor died. The protagonist fights them to break a time machine to the past[a] or future.[b] They win the fight.
