~~~The Empire~~~
"They say that there was a time when People and Pokemon lived in harmony with each other, free from oppression and harm. They say that once, we were all free. They say that there is hope for the future. I don't. Not because there is no hope. But because no-one will hope."
-Alderos, Prime Minister of Kanto, before his execution last week, taken from Imperial File Exodus.
Synopsis:
It is a sad time for the world of Pokemon. Where there were once happy civilians with there Pokemon there are now sombre and desperate beggars hoping that an Imperial loyalist would spare them some change. Where there were gyms there are now Pokemon Control Facilities. Where there was the Pokemon League, there is now the Empire. It has no other name. Just the Empire.
The Empire took control within five years, attacking and conquering all of the largest regions, subduing the people and forcing them under their heel using a horrific mixture of cloned soldiers, vicious Pokemon and fear. Always fear. It started in Hoenn. All communications with the entire region were lost, and when they returned, there were Imperial soldiers all over the world. That was when the Age of Fear began. That was one hundred years ago. One hundred years since all of the Legendary Pokemon fled.
There are still many Pokemon events. Tournaments and festivals held by the Empire. But things aren't like they were. There are no gyms. Anyone who hopes to evter these events will not find any assistance. Just their Pokemon, some Pokeballs, and an Imperial Waystation occasionally. And they always have to be aware of the Empire's army of Firetroopers.
There are many people who still own Pokemon, however. There are still trainers. Many of these join the tiny resistance against the Empire. But a few dark-hearted individuals sign up to become one of the Empire's Agents. But any notion of an "adventure" and going to collect badges is just a dream. Any adventure of a Pokemon kind is now just a dream. A forgotten joy. The only adventures people go on are to the last remaining outpost of freedom; a tiny island known as Armistia.
Armistia is where the last stand against the Empire is made. But hope is fading, and no-one can stop the tides of evil. Not when there are so many who willingly join the Emperor and his hordes. No-one even knows who the Emperor is, or if there even is one. All people see of the Empire's leadership is the fearsome Han Vuist, leader of all it's armies and the instant example of fear that the empire holds.
But there is still hope for freedom. There are now many new trainers who are signing up for the rebellion, and fighting against the Emperor and his armies. But there are those who serve for their own personal gain. There are those become Bounty Hunters, Mercenaries, or worse... Imperial soldiers. And there are whispers of sightings of the Legendary Pokemon once more. If they are true, then they must not fall into the hands of the Empire!

You
You are one of the few people who is skilled enough to raise and care for Pokemon. This makes you less of a person and more of a commodity. You can't live a normal life, and you are forced to either;
1. Join the Resistance
2. Serve the Empire
3. Become a Bounty Hunter/Mercenary
4. Run to the Free States
No-one has ever made it to the Free States alive, so that option's out. What will you do? Will you serve the forces of oppression? Will you fight against them? Will you just seek to make as much cash as possible? Whatever you choose could alter the fate of the World. That is how important every trainer is.

Key Characters
The Empire
The Emperor
Spoiler:
The shadowy overlord of the empire. It's not known if he or she even exists, but any troopers who hear someone speak ill of him will open fire immediately. Nothing is known about him, or her, except they must be insidiously clever to have conquered the world, and they are pure evil.
Han Vuist
Spoiler:
The Empire's ever-present enforcer, Vuist probably the most feared person on the planet. He is known for not giving mercy under any circumstances, and is a vicious fighter, both with Pokemon and weapons. He is the public face of the Empire, and some believe he may be the Emperor himself. But one thing is for sure; he is as evil as the Emperor.
Firetroopers
Spoiler:
The Empire's footsoldiers, these are men who are armed with weapons of the highest caliber technology, but no Pokemon. It is rumoured that they are all cloned from the strongest and most loyal of the Empire's servants, but whether this is true is unknown. What is known, however, is they are fiercely loyal, merciless, and revel in the slaughter of defenceless victims.
Pokemon Troopers (Poketroopers)
Spoiler:
The Empire sees the efficiency of Pokemon and uses them to a great length of effect. Since there are only very few people who are deemed skilled and loyal enough to handle Pokemon without damaging the Empire, their numbers are few, and there are less of them than ever.
The Resistance
Alderos
Spoiler:
Alderos was the puppet Prime Minister of Kanto, who served the Empire and passed on their laws over Kanto. However, seeing the misery he brought on his people, he joined the rebellion, freeing Kanto from Empire rule. For a while, things were the way they used to be, but he was betrayed by a Resistance Fighter, who was subsequently killed by his former comrades. He handed Alderos over to the Empire, and was put to death immediately. Kanto is now once again under empire rule.
Elias Markonn
Spoiler:
Elias is the Resistance's leader, and he operates nearly all of the Resistance's attacks and raids. He isn't old, but he has aged very quickly due to the stress of being the sole leader of the Resistance. He is expected to die within a month, but still co-ordinates the Resistance entirely by himself.
Harry Telish
Spoiler:
Harry is the Resistance's recruitment officer. He is in charge of the Resistance's propaganda and the training of any Pokemon Trainer recruits, as well as the training of regular Rebel Fighters. He is a brilliant shot with a sniper rifle and a fantastic pilot. He truly believes the Empire can be overcome.
Rebel Fighters
Spoiler:
The Rebel Fighters are the Resistance's standard soldier. They are brave or desperate individuals who seek freedom from the Empire, for themselves and for all. They all own a single Pokemon, but none of them are especially good at anything.
Pokemon Trainers
Spoiler:
The Resistance also recruits Pokemon trainers into it's army, but these don't get anywhere near the amount of training Empire Agents do. But they aren't restricted by any rules, save not to attack civilians and innocents, and consider themselves the descendants of the historic Pokemon Trainers of old. They are brave, noble and proud, and they are committed to saving the world from the Empire before it is too late.
Others
Bounty Hunters
Spoiler:
Elite soldiers who fight for money and personal gain rather than a cause, Bounty Hunters operate inside or outside the Empire's law, whatever suits them best. Many are employed by the Empire and the Resistance, but they have no particular alleigance to either side. Most of them operate with the aid of Pokemon.
Free States
Spoiler:
The Free States are a collection of miniscule regions in the West who are at war with just about everyone who goes near them, especially the Empire and the Resistance. They have theiur own laws and customs, but many are being conquered. Soon there may be none left.
