Xiao Mu, the adopted son of an ecological researcher, knows far more about Pokemon than an ordinary Trainer.
But he never expected to encounter a Pokémon Hunter on the very first day of his journey away from home, or to unexpectedly meet a Shiny Ralts with amnesia.

When Rayquaza's roar echoes from a mysterious sky and the entire Alliance falls into panic, Xiao Mu resolutely draws on his deep understanding of Pokemon ecology to assemble an “Ecological Strike Team.”
Can this ordinary team, with no Legendary Pokémon, uncover the darkness beneath the Alliance's glamorous facade?
