You awake asking yourself questions. Deciding to ignore the dream, for now, you step out into your hometown known as Fells in the Core Region.

When you encounter the professor, he quickly informs you of the disasters and climate changes occurring all over the Core Region. His workers in panic, he asks you to visit the delivery station and pick up a package for him from Prof.Oak.

As you set out on this simple task, you encounter a mysterious girl who appears to know knowledge of the dream you've had about a creature name Darugis.
