Umo Region
|
Umo region is very vast and unique in the sense that every single Pokemon known to man so far lives here naturally. Because of this, you can only guess that it has diverse terrains and climates, a tropical beach in one area, and then a chilly mountain the next. It is also very large, the borders of Umo stretching far enough to have its own beaches, mountains, lakes, and valleys. For the most part, it has your average continental weather, meaning it goes through the four seasons. However, towards the mountains it is always winter or late fall, and towards the beaches it never reaches below 70.
Another thing unique to Umo is that the entire region is just a giant mountain, with obvious different levels, but there are several underground caves that can end up anywhere in the region. With the right Pokemon and Pokemon moves, you can navigate the region through these caves. This being said, the people living in Umo are a unique bunch. You have one town always dressed for winter, and the next town in swimsuits and inner tubes. It is also very common to find that besides the natives to Umo, you will also encounter people from many different regions here due to the similar climates you can find in the other regions. Umo sounds like a paradise to both people and Pokemon, but the lore is much darker than this. |
Umo Lore
Since Umo is known as the region that is like all the other regions, Umo myth is centered around this single fact. It is written and told through stories that the Legendaries of each region had decided to create a land where all Pokemon could live peacefully. Eventually, after a few centuries of all types of Pokemon living peacefully in the land, a Pokemon had befriended a human and had brought him to Umo. Of course, humans aren't lonely creatures, and the man soon told his family of the beautiful land that was unlike any he'd seen before. After a few household whispers and gossiping on the streets, more and more people came flooding in.

Not all of these people were peaceful though, and came to capture the Pokemon they couldn't get in their own regions, including the various Legendary Pokemon that lived here too. No one was too concerned, until this man actually started succeeding in capturing the Legendaries. Eventually many trainers were becoming alarmed, along with many other regions as the man was capturing more and becoming a threat to the entire Pokemon World peace. Just as everything had reached its peak of violence, an unknown trainer approached the man and had defeated him, releasing the Legendaries and leaving. No one knows who and where this boy went, but everyone who had witnessed the intense battle said that the boy never spoke a word, even when commanding his Pokemon in battle. To appease the now angry and irritated Legendaries, the villagers of Umo built them shrines to worship them in, and eventually brought the land back to peace. To this day, the location of these shrines are a mystery, and to the few that do know, refuse to speak of it.
Team Cyclone
|
Team Cyclone is a very vague and ominous group, as not much is known about them, but it is known that they are very dangerous. It is rumored that they plan to go about catching all of the Legendaries in the region to rule the world, but nothing has been confirmed yet. What is unique to Team Cyclone versus other Teams that have existed, is that they don't wear an official outfit. Instead, members wear what they please, making them harder to identify, and seem more serious. If you would like to join Team Cyclone, you first must be a strong trainer. To even be accepted into Team Cyclone, you must battle one of the admins, who then judge how well you did and decide if you can make it on the team. Another qualification to join Team Cyclone, is that you must hold the belief that the weak are to be ruled by the strong. Many trainers recruited into this group, have usually beat several Pokemon League's or have obtained several Pokemon badges and have proved their strength. Most have mastered mega evolution and various battle plans.

Somewhere along the years of training hard with their Pokemon, they have come to believe in the ideal that the strong are meant to rule, or are entitled over some sort of belief. The leader of Team Cyclone has yet to make an appearance, but if simple members of this team are enough to par champions, then you can only imagine how strong the leader is.
| Plot | You As a Trainer |
Whether you are trying to become the Pokemon Master, are merely a researcher, or someone who has a wanderlust personality, there is many reasons Umo has almost drawn you towards the land. The mysterious disappearance of other Trainers is something that often brings many to come and investigate. The diverse gym leaders and so far, an unbeatable Pokemon League, also brings challengers from far to test their strength and prove their power. Beyond that, Umo is a very beautiful land, and holds many rare Pokemon that are hard to find anywhere else, and those who seek to complete their Pokedex come here for this reason as well.
