==Overview==
The story follows the titular character Bargo, as he travels the Karto region building up his troupe of Companions. Bargo and his group face off against several gym leaders, all the while searching for the man who assaulted him at the beginning of the story.
==Plot synopsis==
Bargo wakes up in a field, beaten and bruised, remembering nothing but the image of a face obscured by shadow. Seeing no signs of civilization on the horizon, he sets out on a journey for revenge.
On the way to City Village, Bargo teams up with a Stygo, a Yukko, and a Jonboo, all of whom evolve into their final forms before challenging the local Gym Leader, Block.
After defeating Block, the Companions set out to defeat the rest of the Gym Leaders, making more friends along the way, including a Thing, and a Circus Dog on a Ball, who quickly evolves into Pokémaster Ian.
Upon arriving at the third gym in Villageville, the story takes an abrupt turn, as the companions are transported to the Land of Oz, where they fuse into a Steck and are forced to seek out the Stone of Happiness™ in order to return to their world. This excursion ends with the group returning to the gym, with Thing having evolved into Small Woodland Creature.
After seizing their third badge, the party continue on to Village City, where they battle the Gym Leader Hairika with their new friend, Shmūg'nhūg'n, in tow. During the battle with Hairika, Yukronsky explodes, and the resulting Explosion joins the party. Explosion sadly dies during the battle with the fifth Gym Leader, Mr. Trout, but is revived when lightning strikes a nearby tree, causing it to explode. Later, Explosion begins convulsing, resulting in him spewing up an Ace, who evolves into Denza before joining the party.
Explosion, now having evolved into a Black Hole, encounters a young Implosion eager to evolve. The two do battle, and just as Black Hole is about to defeat the young Implosion, the Implosion reveals himself to be Black Hole's son. This revelation causes Black Hole to suck Implosion into himself, resulting in the both of them vanishing from existence.
Toward the end of the story, Bargo leaves on a rocket, leaving the other companions to continue their journey without him. HADHAD, Yukronsky, Junspinar, Small Woodland Creature, Pokémaster Ian, Shmūg'nhūg'n, and Denza (who had now evolved into Captain Pringle) continue to Nonexistant Town to battle the final Gym Leader.
Arriving at the final gym, the Gym Leader reveals himself to be Giordelli, the man who left Bargo for dead at the beginning of the story. Sadly, Bargo was not there to confront his sworn enemy. His companions fight in his stead, and though Small Woodland Creature died in the battle, the Companions emerge victorious, taking their eighth and final badge.
