In the colorful world of Pokemon, Xiaohong is someone special. He grew up in an orphanage, alone and with no one to depend on. His memories of his parents are blank, and he has only heard scattered stories from the director about how they were once held in high regard. In this world, where bonds with Pokemon run deep, those without partners struggle to get by in society. Life at the orphanage is quiet, but beneath the routine lie his yearning for the world outside and his hopes of finding a Pokemon partner.
Then one day, deep in the woods on the hill behind the orphanage, Xiaohong unexpectedly meets a Riolu with sharp eyes and a hint of confusion in its gaze. In that moment, the wheels of fate seem to begin turning. Their eyes meet, and a curious bond quietly takes root. From then on, Xiaohong's life changes completely. With Riolu, he sets off on a Pokemon journey full of the unknown and unexpected, seeking to uncover his parents' past and write a story of “traveling bonds” with his companions.
