From the introduction: Welcome Jumper, to the World of Pokemon. A world of wonders, adventures, heroic feats and living legends. Well, that and mortal danger, competent criminal organizations, fatal attacks, mystic powers and a Pokedex that needs a filling. This isn’t your normal, vanilla Pokemon dear friend, no, this is much more. This is Pokemon on Brutal Hardcore Survival Mode. Better known as the Pokemon Adventures Manga. In this world all the consequences of elemental creatures running around wild exist. Where criminals run around with monsters in their pocket but no one brushes them off, for these are the actual hardened criminals you’d expect with their reputation.
