{KINGDOM OF AURORA - RANSEI REGION} ???: "Hey! Hey! Wake up!" (Shadecleaver wakes up in the kingdom of Aurora - his weapon nowhere to be seen.) Shadecleaver: "Ugh...my head..." ???: "Oh thank goodness, you're awake!" Shadecleaver: "What is this place...?" ???: "This is the kingdom of Aurora - located in the southwestern reaches of Ransei." Shadecleaver: "Ransei...?" ???: "Yes, Ransei. It is a vast region divided into multiple kingdoms, each ruled by a Warlord. Aurora is known for its beautiful landscapes and strong warriors." Shadecleaver: "Warlords...? So this is some sort of hierarchy?" ???: "Yes, exactly. Warlords are powerful individuals who lead their kingdoms and strive to conquer the others. They use Pokemon to wage battles and gain control over the region." Shadecleaver: "Pokemon...? I've heard of them, but I've never seen one." ???: "Well, you're in luck. In Ransei, Pokemon are everywhere. They're elemental creatures with different abilities and powers. You can use them to fight battles, train, and even form alliances with other Warlords." Shadecleaver: "I see...So, why am I here?" ???: "I found you unconscious outside the kingdom. It seems you've been through quite a lot. I wanted to make sure you were alright." Shadecleaver: "Thank you for helping me. My name is Shadecleaver, by the way." ???: "I'm Oichi. But right now, strange things have been occurring. Not only have Fairy-types been appearing, but so has a new kingdom connecting the southwestern and northern reaches of Ransei. According to people who have been there, the people of the new kingdom - called 'Valkyria' - specialize in Fairy-types." Shadecleaver: "Fairy-types...that's interesting. I've always been intrigued by the power of magic and enchantment. Perhaps this Valkyria kingdom holds some answers for me. But what's with those three other kingdoms adjacent to us?"
