Kanto has changed a lot in the past ten years. The League is no more, and trainers have become tools for the rich and powerful, either mercenaries or dogs of the government. Sabrina is the latter. She is to play the role of Gym leader in a sick, twisted mockery of the art she once admired, bearing the name of her childhood idol: a woman who is now wanted across the region. All for the entertainment of Kanto’s shadowy new rulers. It’s a role she doesn’t mind playing. At least until an unusual challenger comes into her Gym, into the life she’s worked so hard to build, and begins to slowly unravel it all. A gritty tale of tragedy and redemption set in a Kanto that's fallen to ruin. Chapters will be short and quite punchy. This will be darker than your usual Pokémon fic, without veering into overt grimdarkness. Schedule: Updates every day.
