Pokémon: Fissures
The ground shook violently; pictures were flung from the wall, vases tipped over, the people of Greenspout Town hid in their houses as the shakes continued. Deep frequency, terrifying tones swept across the settlement, followed by one final catastrophic temblor.
The town sat in silence momentarily, anticipating more tremors.
The shouts and cries marked the all clear. The earthquake had stopped for now. Little damage had been done to Greenspout - but the same could not have been said to the nearby route. Route 12, seemingly the centre of the seismic activity, was ripped in two - a deep valley stretching hundreds of metres across blocked the path. Western Hendo was separated from the east.
Two years later and the Hendo region is yet to show any more seismic activity. The treacherous fissure in the land still divides the region, but alternative routes have been scouted by those able to transverse the caves and dense forests. Despite the region reconnecting, its stability is still in question. Crime has been on the increase and the East and West grow evermore divided, both geographically and politically. The unrest is causing unease among many citizens, with Gym Leaders and elders often having to act as mediators to pacify the angry citizens.
Will you be able to help reunite the land? Will those disturbing the peace be brought to justice? Will the truth be revealed?
Images show only the first event to avoid spoiling too much! ;3

Location&Locations
The Hendo region, across sea from Sinnoh, is a relatively isolated land. The region has been largely inhabitable for centuries, with Eastern Hendo being the most established, developed area of the land. Western Hendo was built as the population progressed and equipment to farm the land became more accessible. The area soon posted an established economy, trading to nearby settlements and following in the footsteps of Kanto and Sinnoh, starting up a Pokémon League. Trainers were quickly hand-selected by the existing Hendo government, assigning eight to the most established towns and city.
Several decades later and traditions have continued to flourish in Hendo. However, soon the peace and stability was shattered. Earthquakes shook the region, opening up deep crevasses and tearing rifts between the East and West - essentially cutting the region in half and ceasing any movement or trading. The only way to travel to the other side was to transverse old, unmapped caves. Trade carts rarely managed this feat and so the western towns were mostly cut off.

Flora&Fauna
The Pokédex of Hendo shows a range of species. Originally, the land harbored next to no life - it is only recently populated. Species have migrated in from other regions (and some brought in by trainers, poachers and the like) to settle.
Following past volcanic activity and earth-splitting events, many areas feature dense and lush vegetation for many grass and bug types to inhabit. Due to an abundance of mountains, caves and valleys there are also many dark-loving species, able to thrive easily across Hendo.
There are no official starter Pokémon in Hendo, however some rare, foreign species have managed to invade and inhabit the lands. The professor of the region prefers to give unique gifts to those starting on their journey.The professor of Hendo, Ms. Renée is an expert in Pokémon DNA - particularly modern classifications. She has determined that older data may not be entirely accurate for some species. The Professor has failed to find any fairy-type Pokémon in the area.

Help: Spriter needed to make FR-style OWs (and possibly tiles) and a titlescreen. Potentially could use help implementing new moves as well, I have my eye on Aqua Ring.

Help: I have further plans. If you're handy with writing ASM please drop me a line .]
