Introduction
Hello all! This thread is for the hack Pokemon Redemption. I'm josh354 (You can call me Sully.) My co-owner is adamb241. (You have to ask him what he wants to be called.) I came up with this idea some time ago, but I never had much time to work on it until recently. I started scripting and mapping (very, very, poorly), and I liked the outcome enough to get some others to help work on it with me. This is what we have now.

Story
Prelude (Contains Some Spoilers)
Spoiler:
60 years ago a scientist lost his wife in a tragic accident. Unwilling to let her go he decided to try and do the unthinkable, bring back the dead. After years of intense study, he finally discovered how he could acomplish his goal. There existed a single Pokemon whose power could be used to restore his lost wife, however, this Pokemon had not been seen in decades and many regarded it simply as myth. In order to capture this creature the scientist gathered an elite team of trainers and named them Team Aevum. Word spread throughout the region of the scientist's goal and the people did not like the idea of tampering with death, but the scientist refused to let the people stop him. What started as a harmless mission soon turned into a war as Team Aevum began to mow down whoever tried to get in their way. One day the champion of the region decided to take action. Instead of facing Team Aevum he devised a way to spoil their plan. He found this legendary pokemon and captured it. Knowing that Team Aevum would come after him next he made the ultimate sacrifice. He left everything behind and made his way to a nearby region. Once there he found a hiding place for the Pokemon and released him, then he settled down in the saftey of a small town. Team Aevum's plot was foiled and so they withdrew from the region and into the shadows, plotting their revenge against the heroic champion.
Present Day
Spoiler:
"Breaking news out of the ESTILLE region. Team Aevum has resurfaced with an unknown new scheme! Leading them is the current champion who mysteriously disappeared months ago. His followers each have unusually powerful Pokemon and are making their way through towns kidnapping the strongers trainers. Most gym leaders had time to find a safe place to hide but a couple weren't as fourtunate. As of now there are no further details on what they want or why."
Spoiler:
The news reporter broadcasts this to the MAIESTAS region, located across the sea from the ESTILLE region. You are safe in your home, or so you think. One day after running an errand for your grandfather you are attacked by a member of Team Aevum. You are saved by your friend, the local gym leader, and rush home to check on your rival and grandfather. Both are missing. Your friend shows up and tells you that they are headed toward ESTILLE, but you can't go because you don't have a Pokemon for protection. Luckily, your grandfather had picked one out for you, and so you make your way to ESTILLE. Once there you try and find clues on the whereabouts on your grandfather and rival. Your investigation leads you to a gym leader hiding from Team Aevum. You talk to him and agree to fight Team Aevum as you look for your grandfather and rival!
