This is simply an idea I've had for a little more than four years. It has undergone many versions and adaptations, but this is its current form and the one that is likely to stay since I actually took the time to make a regional map for the region. More will be added to this topic as my ideas are written and polished, so I hope you all like what you see.

Plot: The Rijune region, located in the southwestern ocean of PokeEarth, has always been considered a tropical paradise and a general escape, in terms of progress, from the rest of the world. It is because of this general seclusion that Rijune has become the target of one of the world's most sinister evil organizations: Cipher. Originally believed to have been disbanded once-and-for-all, Cipher slipped far under the radar after its Grand Master was defeated six years ago. However, this was just a very clever staging for Cipher to leave Orre while remaining anonymous. While Cipher's Greevil fell at the hands of a young Pokemon Trainer, a small unit of elite Cipher agents, entirely unknown to Orre, escaped from Citedark Island with a copy of all of Cipher's Shadow Pokemon data.
Now, six years later, Cipher has re-emerged from the ashes of their defeat under new leadership and their rebirth has rocked the foundations of Rijune to its very core. Now, agents of Neo Team Cipher, under the guise of average Trainers from other regions, have infiltrated Rijune's major cities and have begun to distribute Shadow Pokemon to the region's most sinister characters. In an effort to maintain order in the region, the Azure League, Rijune's regional Pokemon League, has started to make rounds of the region's major cities to somehow keep things in order.
But, none of this really concerns you now, does it? No, you're simply a budding young Trainer of age sixteen that is starting their journey fresh in the small town of Baltra. Your journey ahead is as innocent as wanting to complete the Rijune PokeDex for the region's professor and your mentor, Professor Yew, and maybe become the Azure League Champion along the way. However, no journey is as easy as that, and yours is no exception. What awaits you in the vibrant and exotic environment of Rijune, only the future, and Celebi, know.
Rijune: The actual region of Rijune has undergone many different forms in the years that I have created it. At one point, it was a region north of Hoenn that had a gemstone motif to its cities and towns; at another point, it was a serious of incredibly small islands clustered to the east of Kanto. But, finally, after a stroke of inspiration involving the Galapagos Islands, I have made a staple and final design for the region:
Originally taken from this map, I went through the process of re-arranging and then enduring the grueling procedure of having to recolor the islands. Much harder than one can say when using Paint as their only tool:

Anywho, here is a marked version of the map, along with a list identifying the locations:
A. Blue-Foot Forest
B. Mt. Galagos-South Entrance
C. Mt. Galagos-North Entrance
D. Red-Foot Forest
E. Darwin Cave
F. Moonstone Isle
G. Mariner's Isle
H. Grove of Time
I. Waterfall Cavern
J. Origin Cave
K. Safari Zone
L. Atlas's Throne
M. Challenger's Mountain
N. ??? (A Location to be revealed in due time)
The islands themselves are known as followed:
DISCLAIMER: Rijune and its idea are property of myself, known on DeviantArt as Redhood69. If you have any questions or concerns about the legitimacy about this, I suggest you take it up with me in private. I disdain plagiarism and would never think to participate in such a dishonorable act. If you are a game designer interested in using Rijune in your game, do not contact me. This is a concept very far from completion and I will not have dozens of newbie designers asking to use my ideas for their inevitable failures. I am not a programmer, spriter or designer. I am a story writer and idea specialist, nothing more.
