The civilization of the Continents of Pokémon Online emerged approximately one million years ago. At that time, Human, Elves, Dwarves, Supernaturals, and Mythical beings lived together.
Legend said that there were even hybrid beings, of a relationship between pokémons and humans. Since a few millennia no one has heard about them again. Some even say that this is a made up story.
Dwarven women with deft hands served as midwives and handicrafts. human women bathed them in clean water. All the races lived together, each making up for what the others were missing.
These beings Born from a union of pokemon and humans, they were born with supernatural strength and battle instinct, they supported elves and humans.
These beings attempted to claim leadership of the races, both in name and in reality, as no other race could match the fertility and combat skills of the supernaturals.
However, when humans developed farming techniques, domesticating pokemons, they took over the food supply chain and gradually challenged the supremacy of supernaturals.
The elves, who learned elemental and spiritual magic in alliance with Nature, became arrogant and began to distance themselves from supernaturals, whom they branded ignorant and brutish.
The dwarves advanced in metal technology and item crafting day by day, which gave them a new generation of weaponry to face the supernatural.
Their items were considered the best on all continents, they were the only ones that could make items for pokemons perfectly, their quality level was superior to any other race.
They made Pokemon display a strength and Ability that defied common sense, giving unimaginable strength.
The alliance of the races was dismantled after a series of numerous hostile disagreements and bouts of jealousy.
Humans built cities, which later came together to create kingdoms, on rich soil. Along with your pokemons that have been tamed with a certain technology from the dwarves. After centuries and centuries, they managed to recreate the tool that domesticated them.
The elves moved to a continent or a place so far away they were never seen again, where the elements and spirits were amplified, vastly extending the domain of their magic.
Supernaturals scattered across the desert and virgin soil, hunting the wild and afflicting the civilized as they wished, enjoying combat without restraint.
Some say they were isolated on a distant island, others say they are from another continent. some say they are only used as bedtime stories for their children to obey.
The dwarves stayed hidden in the mountains. There were some in jhoto and kanto mining raw ore and refining their crafts. But they were hostile to the human race.
Anyone who steps into your territory will be treated as an enemy.
This is the story of the continents of Pokémon Online known today, the forgotten myth of the "four" races.

Rumor about the strange stranger ran like wildfire through Pallet City.
It was about a beast that had been swinging a wooden sword at a speechless scarecrow for four consecutive weeks at the Training Facility.
BlusterWhack
Volkner was swinging the wooden sword silently. His blows on the scarecrow showed no mercy. Each time the wooden sword sliced through the scarecrow, a heavy sound exploded.
In the early days, he was content to just graze the scarecrow. As his strength and agility steadily increased, however, the wooden sword was gaining strength.
"Is he really a user?"
"Do you think he's a real man? Small chance."
"Look at him. I bet he isn't."
"Could it be an NPC?"
"Given his sudden appearance…"
"He's supposed to be an NPC connected to a quest!"
"Does he give a rare pokemon?"
The eyes of some users started to glow with enthusiasm and a lot of users offered food and money to win Volkner's favor, wondering if he was a quest NPC.
Too proud to be treated like a beggar, Volkner refused them, but they were persistent.
"Come on, please take this..."
"Want something else? Just tell me. I'll get it."
"Don't you think a steel sword is definitely better than this wooden sword? I can give you a long sword, and it will come in handy.
They followed Volkner in hopes that he could introduce them to a special mission. They didn't know for sure, though, because Volkner repeatedly denied being an NPC, and shooed them away, saying they were getting in the way of his training. Strangely, this strengthened his conviction quite a bit.
"He's not accepting any gifts."
"Who can hit the scarecrow not just for a day or two, but for four weeks in a row?"
"And he's a great friend of the instructor…!"
The instructor, who always looked down on users as a nuisance, was nice to Volkner, going so far as to share lunch with him every day. To the audience, Volkner didn't look like a human.
The only way to differentiate users from NPCs is when they reveal their identity. That's why Volkner caused misunderstandings in other users.
Several high-level users noticed Volkner's intentions to improve strength and other stats. They approached and were kind to him. They approached him on purpose, knowing full well he was a user.
'Even if the increase in stats is minimal, it will still make a difference in the future' Volkner didn't think about short-term gains, one day all that time in the Training Hall will make a difference.
"If you join my clan, we will support you to save your disappointment."
"We will sponsor you until you reach level one hundred. Nothing spared."
Royal Pokemon Online have a concept of clans or guilds like other online games, but there is a bigger picture.
Emperor!
The goal of every clan with high level rankers is to enthrone an Emperor in their midst - to found their own empire on the Kanto Continent and Johto and rule and establish themselves.
When the next continents are released, they have gained an advantage over the other guilds.
With taxes collected monthly, feudal lords and monarchs can build essential facilities like barns and blacksmith shops to try to produce pokemon items, pharmacies, their supervision, or invest money to recruit people and buy pokemons and train them well.
Given a ruler who manages the affairs of state, the economy develops, technology advances. Technological innovation leads to better weaponry produced by blacksmiths, and the size of a city depends on its public safety and sanitation.
By establishing national and regional policies and establishing diplomatic ties with other countries, the king at the top of a pyramidal society wields greater authority than anyone else.
Kings encourage cities to expand into their domains, attracting more immigrants who become subject to their rule. In addition to internal affairs, there is war.
If and when someone declares war, armies summoned by ambitious kings fight each other under the command of generals.
Lay users in the position of subjects demand that their user kings be wise and just. Thus, the cities where they reside will grow more prosperous and trade in goods will be more dynamic, which encourages users to aspire to success in the game.
The benefits outweigh the risks.
Still, Volkner turned down all the clan's offers.
Strength increases by 1 point. (+0.2 STR)
Agility increases by 1 point. (+0.2 AGI)
Vitality increases by 1 point. (+0.2 VIT)
Fame increases by 20 points. (+20 FAME)
Life increases by 10 points. (+10HP)
The wooden sword had not shown any signs of pausing and suddenly stopped in midair. Then Volkner closed his eyes.
