Twin Sisters, Scarlet and Violet, journey to the Paldean Empire over a thousand years before the events of the game. They are invited by the Paldean Emperor to attend the prestigious Imperial Academy and build diplomatic good will between their home nations and the Paldean Empire. While attending school, they'll learn about Pokemon and Ecology and battle tactics while meeting new friends and rivals. The two girls eventually meet a mysterious silver haired girl who will draw them into conflict with the school's Elite Four and beyond that into the dangerous world of imperial politics. Shortly after their arrival a mysterious merchant arrives in the Paldean Empire offering four powerful gifts to the emperor, who accepts them to use against an ongoing rebellion in their provinces. Little does he know the ruinous power contained within these treasures, and the devastation they will bring to Paldea.

Hello, I am Pax or you can call me Charlie, either is fine. I've been working on this privately for a while, but got distracted with other projects. I'm currently working on publishing my first novel (unrelated to this work) and wanted a project that didn't have any commercial pressure that I could just do for fun, so I decided to come back to it. I understand that it can be a big leap to read a fic of entirely original characters, so thank you so much for reading! Any constructive feedback is appreciated! I'll begin by dropping the first five chapters with the aim of posting at least one every month, but ideally the rate will be faster than that depending on my workload and time availability. I hope you all enjoy the story! :)
