Welcome to Pokémon Abyss, a narrative-driven fangame inspired by titles like Pokémon Reborn and Lost. Dive into a mature, choice-heavy Pokémon experience where nothing is quite what it seems. After a devastating plane crash, the protagonist awakens in Styx — a remote and forbidden region ruled by a secretive Champion and buried in centuries of mystery.
With no memory of how or why the crash occurred, players must explore an unfamiliar land, uncover long-buried truths, and decide how they wish to live their life.

The Story
On a return trip to the Reborn region from an archaeological expedition to the legendary Sinjoh Ruins, the protagonist (MC) flies alongside their mother — a renowned researcher of mythical Pokémon. But mid-flight, the plane is hijacked under mysterious circumstances and crashes into the sea. MC awakens on the shores of a strange island that doesn't exist on any map, satellite, or PokéNav. This island pulses with pure energy, where reality seems to bend and ancient forces stir beneath the surface. At its heart lies a colossal, forgotten structure buried in time, whispering secrets from a past, long gone.
Many characters walk down this journey, such as:
The Protagonist (You)
Smart, resilient, and curious — the player character begins with no memory of the crash's full events and must piece together both their survival and identity across the story. They soon find themselves at the center of something much stranger than they imagined.
Catherine Gaulle – The Noble Strategist
A proud lady from a prestigious Kalosian noble family, she was on the plane with her guardian, with intent to challenge the Reborn League. With formal training in battle theory and political etiquette, she often finds herself clashing with the other survivors, but particularly a native boy, due to her rigid worldview.
Chappu Redbird - The Island Dreamer
A native of the island's people, he is deeply spiritual and sees meaning in every omen. Raised on the fringes of civilization, he believes the crash is a sign from the gods, and that he is meant to fulfill a prophecy of some kind.
