Story
The story of this game is hard to describe without giving too much information away. You and your older sister have just moved to the Panju Region because you were both invited to a prestigious academy focused on both Intelligence and Pokemon battles.
Prof. Pine, this region's professor, gives you a starter and gives you an extra pokeball, telling you to deliver it to his son at the academy. When you arrive at school, you are met by Team Epoch, an evil team terrorizing the professor's son. Your sister tries to stop them, but she is unfairly beaten by 4 members. You try to stop them from taking the kid, but by the time you get there he has been attacked by a pokemon & passes out. You manage to stop Team Epoch, but they tell you to watch your back because you are now on their priority list.
When back in your home town you and your sister go and visit Prof. Pine who tells you that though his son will be able to go on his adventure he will never be allowed to do it alone. He tells you that both of you will be tasked with a special mission that has to do with unstable Time portals opening up around the region. You two are tasked with finding out what is causing it and how to close them. This mission has more to do with you than you know. You will travel through time to the Ice Age, Prehistoric Era, The Age of Expansion, and more. Maybe you'll even witness the creation of the earth!
But what does Team Epoch have to do with the concept of Time Travel?
Team Epoch's goal is to become gods. With the power of Time Travel, they can change the course of time and effect the future. They are willing to do anything for Time Travel, Even going as far as murder. As our hero it is your job to stop them before it's too late! Stabilize the Time Portals so Team Epoch's evil goals won't be accomplished!

Characters!

Spoiler:

Tyrian

Tyrian is from the Sinnoh Region. She moved to the huge region of Panju after she was invited to a very prestigious school for aspiring Pokemon Trainers and Researchers. She and her sister Violet, are chosen by Professor Pine to research the mysterious rifts in time that when traveled through lead to different Eras. She is very friendly, but serious and strategic when it comes to battling. Her male counterpart is named Cerise.

Cerise

Male Counterpart to Tyrian

Violet

Violet is, personally, my favorite character. She is the most developed character throughout the hack. (Plus there are details I want to be a surprise). She is the player's older sister who was also chosen to go to the academy in Panju. This was all put to a halt when team Epoch attacked Professor Pine's younger son name Charles. She tried to save him but was inevitably defeated by 4 Grunts. Th grunts were able to land one attack on Charles until the player got there and stopped them. Feeling guilty Violet decides to travel Panju on her own and become stronger so she can defeat team epoch on her own. Along the way she helps the player research the time portals, but this leads to revealing even more about herself.

Walter

Walter is the Professor of this region's older son. Walter is the leader of the time travel operation. He likes the main character but dislikes Violet, due to her being unable to stop Team Epoch from injuring his little brother, Charles. The reason for Violet still being in the time travel mission is because Professor Pine still likes Violet, thinking she has "potential" as both a researcher and trainer. During Time Travel missions Walter often stays at the base camp, overseeing all current missions.

Charles

Charles is Professor Pine's younger son. He is extremely intelligent but sadly due to the ambush by Team Epoch, his father is too scared to let him explore the Panju Region alone. Due to his fear Professor Pine enlists the help of two bodyguards to watch over Charles as he explores the region. Little does Proffesor Pines know, these bodygaurds are extremley strict and let Charles do nothing that they don't approve. So, Often times you run into Charles he's trying to get away from the two and have his own adventure.

[esperance]

You get to be a bodyguard for the professor's son?
That's certainly an interesting idea...

I can't really tell too much from the screenshots otherwise.

Also, what are "Ancient Pokemon"?

Lol, it's a way for us to test things out in a diffrent city more easily :P. It's basically a portal.

Ancient Pokemon are Pokemon you catch when ever you go back in time. These include different stats, move sets,typing,and sprites of Pokemon you know and love.

The door on the left is obviously the biggest mystery of the mysterious cave

What's the starter pokemon?

 

[Indigo]

What's the starter pokemon?

At the moment the usual Squirtle, Charmander, and Bulbasaur are the starters. But, later on we will have a poll for which Ancient Pokemon should be the starter.

 

[Jukai]

Hmm.. I'll keep my eye on this.

I cant say much at the moment, (exept TIME TRAVEL. YES.) but I can tell just by looking at the story that this'll be interesting.

 

[Chimchar]

Sounds good. I'm very interested in the story but I was wondering if you were planning on using new tiles? That seems to be something everybody likes right now. Well, good luck!

Thanks! I'd love to add new tiles! But, we haven't been able to find anyone willing to make tiles for the game. It'd much appreciated. For the time being we don't have new tiles, but in the future we plan on adding new tiles eventually.

Why don't you use a ROM Base?

 

[Indigo]

Why don't you use a ROM Base?

To be honest, I don't know where to find one that I don't have to ask for permission. And I'd like custom made tiles specifically for the hack :P
