Pokémon: Roots of Domination

In every region, trainers dream of becoming Champions. Adrian has a different dream. He wants to own the world hidden beneath theirs. After discovering a mysterious Grass-type inheritance deep within an ancient forest, Adrian gains the ability to accelerate the growth of plants and form an unnatural connection with Grass Pokémon. While others spend years raising powerful partners, Adrian's team grows at a frightening pace. But power alone is not enough. Resources create strength. Information creates power. Organizations create empires. Rather than chasing badges, Adrian begins building a network from the shadows. Apothecaries, berry plantations, herbal medicine businesses, breeders, researchers, merchants, and trainers gradually fall under his influence. What begins as a small operation soon spreads across entire regions. Most people see Grass Pokémon as peaceful creatures. They never notice the forests listening to their conversations. They never notice the vines watching from the trees. They never notice when rare resources disappear from deep wilderness zones. By the time the Pokémon League realizes someone is manipulating the region's economy, controlling vital resources, and commanding an army of elite Grass Pokémon, Adrian's roots have already spread too deep to remove. Some call him a criminal. Some call him a visionary. Others call him a king. But history will remember him as the man who turned the forests of the world into his kingdom.
