Part 1: Our Sub-Ordinary Lives

Orange and pink streaks began to ark across the dark blue tinted sky. Clouds hung sparsely in the cool morning sky, and the colorful array of fall tree leaves fluttered sleepily to the song and dance of the chilly mid-fall breeze. As the sun crested the horizon, the inhabitants of The Island of Galar stirred to life and took to their morning rituals. What was sparsely populated concrete sidewalks and streets just hours ago came alive with chatter as early risers found themselves in each others company. Young trainers emerged from their homes, glints of determination and excitement glittering in their eyes. Wild Pokémon that prowled in the night slinked back into darkness to rest while the usual suspects arose from slumber. The land of Galar moved through its usual routine, but a gloomy air of uncertainty hung in the air. Just four days ago the Islands long standing champion, Icarus Sissons, went missing. The sudden development shocked the population of the island. Despite many attempts to locate the champion, everything about the mans disappearance is entirely a mystery to Galar. Even after four whole days, the Champions disappearance was still the talk of the town. What most saw it as a mystery and a tragedy, but many aspiring Pokémon trainers saw it as an opportunity. Without a standing champion, the spot was open. Trainers flocked to gyms across the region, and even now in the early mornings trainers waited outside of soon to open gyms to challenge its respective gym leader.Part 1: Our Sub-Ordinary Lives

For the past four days, life had been a whirlwind for the Gym Leaders of Galar. With the disappearance of Icarus came a barrage of curious journalists, investigators, and even just worried citizens. On top of that, the amount of trainers challenging the Gym Leaders has skyrocketed. The mass of underprepared, starry eyed mass of new Pokémon trainers were constantly entering and exiting the Gyms. Most knew not even the slightest thing about Pokémon battling, but the prospect of becoming the new champion of Galar was just too enticing for them. While many of the new trainers have already come and gone, there was still an abnormal amount of challengers on the normally relatively peaceful island.
