The story:
You come from a family of Pokemon Divers; a prestigious career only attainable by the best trainers. Orphaned as a baby and raised by Dive Corp. staff, you're given the opportunity to bypass the Dive Corporation exam requirements. But when something goes terribly wrong on the entrance exam, you're forced to retry through the traditional route - by completing the Pokemon League challenge. Along the way, you'll meet unique rivals and uncover an ancient, catastrophic event that now looms over the region a second time. Your adventure will take you not only to the depths of the ocean but further beyond than you could have ever imagined.

Explore the region of Hireath, as your story will take you between the past and present in order to put a stop to an impending disaster. Inspired by the layout of Pokemon Emerald, the pacing of Pokemon Red/Blue, and the battle system of Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness, this fan game runs anywhere between 40-60 hours of playtime depending on your level of exploration and side questing. Being the only way I personally play Pokemon games now, the game was designed with a Nuzlocke playthrough in mind. There are some very difficult boss battles, but the tools have been provided for anyone who desires to take on the game in the form of a Nuzlocke.

​

Closing Remarks:
I hope you give my fan game a try! I spent many, many hours working on this over the last three years, really trying my hardest to craft a memorable story and world. I'd be honored to hear your feedback and stories. I don't lurk much on the Pokecommunity forums, but I do have a Discord channel I've created for my game if you're interested in hanging around.

Thank you for the compliment! :D

Not in front of my computer right now so I'm going off memory, but it sounds like you're at the point where you need to either beat Gym 5 in Fallautumn Town or you need to venture around the region and find the remaining Relics. Hints to the location of the Relics can be found in your Quest Journal that can be located on the menu. Once you have all the Relics, you find a way into the Highaway Tower - the structure atop the big mountain in the middle of the ocean.

Hope this gives you some guidance!

Aww yeah!! XD

Hey there! I currently have an Encounter list and Trainer list on my Discord (link found in original post above). I could add the PBS file up there for the Pokédex as well for those interested, that's a great idea. I'll upload that to my Discord once I return from my appointment this evening.

Thank you for being interested!

 

[superdude001]

what do I need do in Shalor Summit?

Once you activate the quest on Shalor Summit to find the Elder, you can access the caverns from one of the previous routes that was previously blocked by a policeman.

what you do after the space corp hq event?

 

[superdude001]

what you do after the space corp hq event?

I'm assuming you're talking about the Space Corp. event in Blood Gultch Outpost No. 2; from there, you should have all 8 badges so you can then head to Enamour City in the present and take the train to the Pokémon League :)

It's all good :) You seek out Reginald at his house in Foothold Steppe. But after learning he's not there, head to the caves in the Abandoned Quadrant and seek him out in there.

[superdude001]

Hi so I went to the cave in Abandoned Quadrant but he not there am I doing something wrong.

What's the name of the Quest you're on? Maybe I am misremembering the order of it. If you tell me the Quest name I can refer to my internal docs on the order of it.

What operating system are you using? Can you post a screenshot? Haven't heard of anyone having that issue.
