From the introduction: The magical worlds of Pokémon have countless possibilities. You can battle endless opponents, travel to distant lands…or just enjoy the simple life. You live in a small town somewhere in a world filled with Pokémon. It’s quite different from the normal Pokémon world of the games and anime, as you will soon discover. Pokéballs are unknown here, and will not function, so Pokémon and humans just live everyday lives. Don’t expect many battles or the like, but sometimes it’s nice to just kick back and enjoy some slice-of-life. That said, this is a comedy, so don’t think your stay is going to be a complete vacation.
