Lin Xiao, who returned home frustrated, accidentally awakened a Poke Ball that had been dormant for many years while sorting out his grandfather's belongings. Among them was not any Pokémon he knew well, but a unique Riolu with scars and eyes as sharp as a blade - it called itself "Little Blade" and brought an ancient promise buried in the dust.
At the same time, Lin Xiao discovered his grandfather's unfinished research: a potential development called "Awakening Power" and the accompanying "Skill Chip" technology that is considered taboo by the alliance. This technology, which was originally intended to promote deep resonance between Pokémon and trainers, once caused disputes in the shadows due to its uncontrollable power and huge temptation of benefits, and was eventually quietly sealed.
Now, the peaceful undercurrent of the town is surging again. The underground's bloody rules on the battlefield, the aloofness of the mysterious intelligence dealer, the vigilance and hostility within the alliance towards "out of control forces"... All clues point to the covered up past. With the "small blade" and incomplete research in hand, Lin Xiao was forced to step into a gray world where rules and power are intertwined under the bright alliance badge.
This is not a pure championship journey. This is a journey to crush prejudice through battle, interpret true "power" through fetters, and open up a new dawn for those beings defined as "abnormal".
