Lanzhou Continent is a barbaric land independent of all orthodox regions. Ancient energy - "Energy Trace" - surges deep underground. Every hundred years, trace energy will set off a tide of annihilation, distorting life, awakening ancient creatures, and tearing the earth apart.
The alliance maintains order on the surface, secretly protects the black market, and uses living Pokémon to conduct energy-reduction experiments with humans. Under the three forbidden areas (the ridge of volcanoes, the lightless abyss of the deep sea, and the corridor of forgotten ruins), lies the truth about the destruction of civilizations thousands of years ago.
Chen Mo, 38 years old, dock worker, D-level trainer. His partner is a Magikarp that has been stranded three times and refuses to leave - the gym says it has "locked talent" and it will stay like this for the rest of its life. He carried goods for twenty years at the Gumei Town Pier, writing down every "wrong thing" in a yellowed notebook, never taking action or making any public announcement. He just wants to live.
Until a fifteen-year-old Kanto boy knocked on his door with a box of documents stamped "Alliance Top Secret". The boy's father, Lu Yan, a former researcher at the Alliance Scientific Research Center, sent his son the life-long crime certificate before he disappeared. The name on the wanted notice is "traitor" and the name in the file is "informer."
Without the approval of the mythical beast, there is no system around. There are only two losers, a stupid fish, a record of twenty years of silence, and the sentence "If you insist on me, then let's make do with it."
In the countdown to the century-old tide, they must survive the pursuit of the corrupt alliance and get to the truth deep in the leyline.
