In a different world where Pokémon are not a normal everyday occurrence, you aim to become not only a pro-level duelist, but also the top #1 duelist in the Lif region! Your journey will have you start with humble beginnings in the lowest ranked dorm at the Duel Academy, Ocean Blue, learning the ways of being a duelist. There, you will first meet your rivals that you will see time and time again throughout your journey. And soon, you will have your first encounter with the Card Sharks, an organization whose sole purpose (at least on the surface) is to steal any and all rare cards they can get their hands on from others so that they can sell them on the black market, but what other ulterior motives and plans does this evil group have in store and how will it put the region of Lif in danger? That is for you to discover throughout the journey...
