Chapter - 3 : Pokemon world , Gathlain
--
In the vast Pokemon world of Gathlain, five distinct regions—Salaria, Roseliand, Glacolia, Mirenze, and Elandrew—exist, each with its own unique characteristics and cities. However, the socio-economic divide between the rich and the poor extends throughout these regions, shaping the lives of their inhabitants.
Within each city, a clear division between the affluent and impoverished areas is prevalent, reflecting the deep-seated inequalities within this society. While the wealthy part of the cities basks in opulence and prosperity, the poor sections bear the burden of limited resources, meager opportunities, and harsh living conditions.
Our main character resides in the poverty-stricken district of Novuron City, located in the Mirenze region. Here, life is a daily struggle, with limited access to essential services and a constant battle to make ends meet. The stark contrast between the impoverished neighborhoods and the affluent sectors serves as a constant reminder of the vast disparities that permeate the Pokemon world of Gathlain.
In this unique Pokemon world, certain regulations and limitations govern the trainers and their interactions with Pokemon. These rules shape the dynamics of battles, access to items, and the age at which individuals can begin their journey as trainers.
Firstly, trainers are restricted to carrying a maximum of six Pokemon with them during battles. This limitation encourages strategic planning and forces trainers to carefully choose their team members, considering their strengths, weaknesses, and overall battle strategies. Pokemon can only learn upto 4 moves .
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
While Pokemon treatment is provided free of charge, a stark contrast arises when it comes to the affordability of Pokemon items. These essential tools, such as healing potions, status condition remedies, and battle-enhancing items, are priced at a premium. Trainers must consider their limited resources and make strategic decisions on when and how to utilize these items during battles.
Furthermore, the availability of Technical Machines (TMs), which grant Pokemon new moves and abilities, comes at a steep cost.
Additionally, it is mandated that children can only embark on their Pokemon journey once they reach the age of 12. This age requirement ensures that trainers have a certain level of maturity and understanding before venturing out into the world with their Pokemon partners.
In this world, the financial constraints faced by poor families significantly impact their ability to have a larger number of Pokemon. The expenses associated with acquiring and caring for Pokemon pose a significant challenge, making it difficult for economically disadvantaged families to expand their teams.
The cost of purchasing Pokemon, acquiring necessary items, and providing proper care and training can be a substantial burden for families with limited resources.
We will get to uncover more as we proceed further in the story.

1. There are no hot weapons in this world but cold weapons can be seen but are strictly prohibited to carry along in the residential area . I did this because I do not want to make this pokemon world more complicated . Every conflict is solved using pokemon . So you will hardly see battling with cold weapons .
Humans can die so does the pokemon, either naturally or for other unknown reasons which you will discover later in the story.
