In Yandu, the Lin and Shi families have been locked in a standoff for years. Lin Jun Dan of the Lin family is sharp and ambitious, while Steve Shi of the Shi family throws his weight around. Beneath the gleaming facade of the Shi family's technology tower lies the filthy business of illegally selling Pokemon. The Lin family has never stopped investigating, but each step brings them closer to danger. Family feuds, underworld dealings, and dreams of becoming Champion all collide in a showdown that will decide Yandu's future, and there is no avoiding it.
