Daniel Clove dreamed of becoming a Pokemon Professor.
Discovering a new species, publishing groundbreaking research and uncovering the secrets of the natural world were supposed to be the hard part.
Instead, he found himself living on a remote Johto Ranch, repairing fences, treating injured pokemon and trying to convince a stubborn cocoon that scientific observation required at least some cooperation.
As strange discoveries begin to emerge from the forests surrounding the Ranch, Daniel finds himself drawn into questions far larger than any thesis. Questions about evolution, ecology and the forgotten relationships between pokemon and the world they inhabit.
After all, every great discovery begins with a simple observation.
And sometimes, changing the world starts with noticing something everyone else overlooked.
