Welcome trainers, to the American Pokémon League, a league far larger and more challenging than the likes of anyone has ever seen. The American League is not completely different from the Pokémon League of any other country. The same rules of other leagues apply to this one, for the most part.
There are three starter pokémon from which a trainer can choose. These three pokemon fall under either the grass, fire, or water type. Grass defeats water, water defeats fire, fire defeats grass. The types aren't any different.
Like any other league, there are eight gym leaders that trainers must face, earning a badge from each gym leader that they have defeated. Once that trainer earns those eight gym badges, they are eligiable to take on the Elite Four, four of the league's most powerful trainers, and an additional fifth trainer- the league's champion. The eight gyms preceding the Elite Four each consist of a specific type of pokemon that the leader and its gym members will use. The members of the Elite Four more often than not also use a specific type of pokemon in their party. The champion, however, often does not have a fixed type and is the most powerful pokemon trainer in the League.
So, what is the difference between the pokemon leagues of most countries and that of the good ol' US of A?
This league is nationwide.
That's right. Unlike traditional leagues, there are no "region" champions or "region" gyms. Each gym is located in a different state, over a good hundred miles apart at the very least. To top it off, these gyms, being so far apart, give trainers more space to train, meaning a larger range in the level of pokemon that the leaders use.
This isn'y only the largest league in the world, but also the most challenging.
However, there is a twist to this roleplay.
America is not without its legendaries, and in this case there are two. No one knows their type, no one knows their appearance, but many people are turning up to have abilities similar to pokémon. There are people, HUMAN BEINGS, who have the ability to do things that normally only pokémon would be able to do. Humans who can control the elements, with superior strength, with psychic abilities!
But what is even more bizarre?
These humans have physical traits and features similar to specific pokémon. Humans with tails, abnormal skin and hair coloring, pokemon-like ears and horns, and even in some cases, wings.
To make things even weirder, these humans can be treated as pokémon. They can be captured into pokéballs, and take orders to use their abilities for the benefits of their masters. They can even communicate with other pokemon.
And it is this legendary pokémon that is to blame.
What is this pokémon, why is it fusing man and pokémon togther to create, as they are beginning to be called, "pokésapiens?" And above all, what are the true intentions of the corporation known as Spectrum, and why do they have an interest in these "poké sapiens"?
Only time will tell.
