Cult of Darkrai

1. The Cults of the Torren Region

"As far back as written history goes, the Torren Region has been plagued by gang violence by a number of cults. All of these cults worship a legendary Pokémon, in much the same way one would revere a god. These cults have been known for killing and torturing people who disagree with their ideals. While different cults will rise and fall, it is worth knowing which cults currently hold power. There are five cults currently in power. The Cult of Darkrai, Abyssal Cult, Infernal Cult, Sky Cult, and a group simply called "Perfection". All of these cults are extremely dangerous and should be treated with extreme caution."

2. The Cult of Darkrai

"The Cult of Darkrai is led a woman named Persephone. Like most other cults in the region they have made it their goal to summon Darkrai from a different world. Most of her reasons for trying to call Darkrai are unknown, but she is suspected to have sadistic tendencies due to events in her childhood."

3. The Kalos War

"The Aroma-Kalos War was a war between the Kalos and Aroma regions. It is renowned for the first interregion war that involved the use of Pokémon as fighting tools.Kalos eventually won the war by use of what was basically nuclear weaponry, an "ultimate weapon" charged by a legendary Pokémon."

Telnor Town

1. The History of the Cults

"The first cults of the Torren Region were created hundreds of years ago. The first two cults of the Torren Region were the Time Cult, who were worshippers of the legendary Pokémon Dialga, and Infernal, who are worshippers of Groudon. Soon, the Time Cult left for another region, and the Infernal Cult inspired many other cults to take form. There were around 10 Cults in existence before the First Augur came. The Augur fought and defeated five of the different cults, and was on his way to defeating more before he mysteriously disappeared. Now, only five cults remain: Perfection, the Cult of Darkrai, Infernal, Abyssal and Sky Cult."

2. What is a legendary Pokémon?

"A legendary Pokémon is a Pokémon that is extremely rare and powerful. There are several criteria that a Pokémon must follow if they are to be considered a legendary. First of all, they are unique. They are one of a kind, or in some rare exceptions two or three of a kind. Secondly, they are unable to be bred to create more of them. For example, Manaphy is still considered a legendary even though it can be bred into Phione, because it cannot be bred into more Manaphy. Finally they must not be able to evolve. Often, legendary Pokémon are so rare and powerful that they are worshipped as gods."

3. Who is the Second Augur?

"The Second Augur is a beautiful and ruggedly handsome trainer. He is the only one who is currently saving the world from the cults and he is the hero of everyone in the region. He is incredible, and he is the hero we deserve."

Midna Town

1. The Kanto Civil War Vol. 1

The Kanto War occurred several decades ago. Civil unrest in Kanto was high due to several of the Gym Leaders and Elite Four members taking part in criminal activity. Most notably were Agatha, Madeleine and Giovanni. Madeleine was arrested, defeated by a member of the Kanto army named Surge, who accepted the offer to replace her position as Gym Leader. Agatha was pardoned, however, her relationships with former friends such as Oak were strained. Continued in Vol. 2.

2. The Kanto Civil War Vol. 2

Giovanni, the leader of the criminal organization known as Rocket, was never reprimanded until several years later. A child named Red, son of a soldier lost in the war, linked Giovanni to the unknown leader position and defeated him. He was promptly arrested, and a list of connections were discovered. Many changes were made to the Indigo League after that incident, however- aside from the needless death- most people believe the Kanto Civil War was a necessary part of the development of the region.
