Description:
3 years ago…

The human ambition has led us to the worst catastrophes, historically has only caused hate, pain, despair, all to have the power, that same happened three years ago, the Kanto region was invaded by the evil Team Rocket, organization that was responsible to sow panic, stealing Pokémon and taking off public sites, all to quench the thirst for power and control of its leader, Giovanni, to which did not care do suffer to rights and Pokémon alike, only to create the perfect Pokémon and control to the entire region. But its plans never be carried out, since three guys from Pallet Town, thanks to the links forged with its Pokémon could stop the ambition of Giovanni and dissolve the Team Rocket…but not by much.

The present time…

Although Giovanni escaped and could never be caught by the police, the Team Rocket never ceased his activity, several of its members that were not captured continued with their plans to take control of the region, but not only of Kanto, this time also Johto, a region to which moved to this time succeed.

The story of the protagonist

The famous Professor Elm has been busy with several new findings, among them the legend of the miraculous stones that did reach the Pokémon a higher level, due to this resorts to two of his assistants, Ethan/Kris and [Player], to deal with the operation of these, giving them a Pokémon for this. After sending [Player] to pick up a package with Mr. Pokemon, a mysterious red-haired guy steals a Pokémon in your laboratory. Now Ethan/Kris [Player], which received a Pokédex from Prof. Oak, will undertake a travel around the Johto region to complete the Pokédex and know who was that redhead boy and why he stole the Pokémon.

The Legend Of The Phoenix and the Dragon.

In Ecruteak City exist a legend more ancient than the Ho-oh and Lugia legends, in which legend speaks about the two guardians of Johto, they refer to a Phoenix of rainbow wings that represents the passion of the Heart, the life and the desires, and the Dragon of silver wings that represents the purity of soul, the leadership and the will. It is said that during an ancient dynasty, the evil emperor of a distant region tried to conquer and subjecting the people of Johto, but then the Phoenix of the North and the Dragon of the South lose up in the heavens and ended with the evil emperor and his army. The Phoenix with its rainbow wings returned him the lives of the innocent people who lost their lives in the invasion, and the Dragon With their silver wings returned him the strength of will that the survivors lost during the invasion. Since then, nobody has returned to see creatures that saved Johto. Although it has been attempted to associate to Ho-oh and Lugia with the legend, nobody has been able to verify that they are the same creatures of the most ancient legend of Johto.

FAQ:
1. Whatever happened to your old hackroms? (Ragnarök)
I have no more ideas and inspiration to continue that hackrom. It’s not cancelled at all, but I have no plans to continue with it right now.

2. Is this hack a remake of GSC like ShinyGold, Liquid Crystal or GoldenSun?
Heck no! This hack is a reboot, the same objetive but different storyline and scripts. The story is a mashup of the concepts of Pokemon Gold, Crystal, Heart Gold and personal concepts.

3. Will this hackrom have more than one rival (Silver)?
Yes, I can only confirm another rival now, your gender counterpart is another rival.

4. Why did you choose this style for the female player?
It’s based on this old artwork (I have no idea at this time who the artist is. The artwork was taken from a fake leak from HGSS around 2009) http://i.imgur.com/3VC01Ep.jpg

Kanto is confirmed. A Johto story without Kanto is incomplete, lol, and nope, I have no plans to put more regions, only Johto and Kanto
