If you are a fan of Pokémon, you may have wondered: "If there are all these ultra-powerful trainers with Pokémon, how does the government keep them in line?" or "Who handles cases where rogue Pokémon destroy cities?" or "Who dealt with all the other Team XYZ grunts that we never see?" or "Who gets sent to assassinate an XYZ terrorist or rebel trying to start another Poké war?" Well, this is a story about the gritty, dark work being done by what is essentially a government-sponsored enforcer, explorer, and agent who ensures that all those kids can run around Route One harassing adults for battles in relative safety. Note: If you cannot handle gore, expect fair battles, want the MC to use an unevolved Caterpie to save the world with the power of friendship, or want a huge team of Pokémon, then this story isn't for you.

Criticism is welcome as I am dipping my toes back into the pool after years of not writing. Though, keep in mind that I made the outline for this story in an hour or two on the toilet using my phone. Credit Art to someone named Thormeister, will change thumbnail to trashy memes instead if they care.
