The days have flowed from when the world began. Deities descending from the now presumed to be dead creator have governed and shaped the world as they wished to claim dominance over it. Humans developed some time after this and were subjugated by them for many years til man finally decided to rebel. Some of the gods are now dead and the remaining seek to shut themselves off, becoming insane power hungry husks of their former selves. Empowering guardians to defend them as humanity, what's left of it, after the rebellion struggles to avoid becoming like the deities they wish dead. Cities are crumbled, forgotten men and women emaciated in their holdings and dark magicks are on the rise. This is the world as it is now and it is within your hand to claim it and usher humanity into a future alongside the beasts and monsters that would have seeked to destroy you with the intent of ridding the world of these deities and grant man a new age.
Or to explain the setting simply: Legendaries ruled the world subjugating the newly evolved humans and smaller weaker pokemon species. Humans rebelled and both sides were left badly damaged. The job of the player characters is to bond with pokemon and rid the world of the so-called 'Gods' while you have the chance.

The World
Gotta explain what is within this lovely realm don't we? All non-listed types can be found in the places between the different realms listed which is essentially a large barren land of deserts, dried up lakes, dead plants and starving, near rabid wildlife as an eternal drought is happening world-wide with the seas now tiny compared to their former appearance.

Aertrix
Types Found: Flying
Ruler: Ho-Oh
Landscape: Full of waterfalls, high cliffs and mountain faces but has permanent scars across it and burns from the fight between lord Ho-Oh and Lugia long ago. The legendary birds and beasts patrol here, reporting back to their master with news or captives.
Brand: Takes the form of a bird-like mark within the afflicted's eyes. Those with this brand can take a standard action once a day to recover 1/4 of their total health but gain an injury when they do and have an avian appearance with sadly non-working wings.

Wildrent
Types Found: Fairy, Bug, Water and Grass
Ruler: Xerneas
Landscape: A nation of lush forests and deep jungles. The plant life here is numerous and vibrant wildlife that tends to grow much larger than it would otherwise. Human settlements can be found in the treetops to keep themselves alive.
Brand: Takes the form of a scar on the afflicted's cheek. Those with this brand have a weakness to fire-type moves but once a day as an extended action can use a berry to grow three berries from their body of the same tier, gaining 1 Injury if they do so. Their bodies are naturally green with plants growing out from their skin.

The Edge
Types Found: Fire, Ice and Electric
Ruler: Kyurem
Landscape: Rather sporadic with some spots being unbearably hot, others constantly raining down with striking thunder and the dead center being a world of ice and snow with the last piece of the trio frozen in place as he mourns the other parts of himself with his domain surrounded by large pillars of ice and blizzards deterring those who wish to wake him.
Brand: Takes the form of a seemingly frostbitten limb. Those with this brand are immune to fire, ice and electric type moves but take 5 additional damage from all other types that they cannot reduce or resist. Their bodies usually have ice crystals growing out of them that discharge harmless static electricity and are warm to touch.
