2. A New Life from the Ground Up
In a town where humans and Pokémon once lived, the grass and trees have withered, and even the residents have completely vanished. A peculiar-looking Tangrowth has been living there all alone.
After awakening from a long slumber, a Ditto transforms into a human and meets Tangrowth. Ditto then decides to begin building the town anew by crafting items and learning moves from other Pokémon to grow plants.
Take your time and work together with a diverse array of Pokémon as you rebuild the town into a place that everyone will love.
Build a utopia for everyone to live in,
little by little.

4. An Introduction to Some Peculiar Pokémon
Let’s take a closer look at some of the slightly peculiar-looking Pokémon you’ll encounter in town.
Professor Tangrowth
A Tangrowth with a partially white body wearing what appear to be human tools.
It teaches Ditto the basics of life in town and is called Professor Tangrowth by other Pokémon.
Peakychu
A pale Pikachu whose fur is a mysterious color.
Its drooping ears somehow make it seem a little feeble.
Mosslax
Moss has grown all over this Snorlax’s body, and it looks like a flower is blooming atop its head.
It must have been asleep for a really long time...
Smearguru
A Smeargle with vibrant colors splattered across its body.
When it uses its tail as a brush, it almost looks like a painter!
Plenty of mysteries still surround these slightly peculiar-looking Pokémon.
We hope you look forward to these new encounters!
