Kyodon

**Kyodon** , also known as **Pokésekai** or erroneously by some of its inhabitants as **Earth** is a planet in the Tetra galaxy, notable for its native Pokémon.

For fear of Pokémon becoming invasive species on other worlds due to their remarkable adaptability and power, most governments in intergalactic society mark Kyodon's star system as a restricted area.

## History

### Prehistory

Kyodonian legends tell of a being named Arceus shaping the universe, and creating multiple beings emanating from itself to govern aspects of everything from physics to emotions to nature, known as Legendary Pokémon. One of these, Mew, is thought to be the ancestor of every "regular" Pokémon in existence. Kyogre and Groudon, who represent the ocean and land, clashed multiple times, setting the continents into place before falling into deep slumber.

The oldest conclusive scientific evidence of Pokémon life date to the Carboniferous or Permian, circa 300 million BC, as concluded by radiocarbon dating.

### Human arrival

The earliest evidence of human populations on Kyodon date to approximately 18,000 BC. How they arrived is a matter of hot debate - some of the more religiously-inclined believe Arceus or another entity transported people from Earth, while others believe they are descended from human colony ships displaced in the space-time continuum. Regardless, several waves of migration have occurred, and Kyodonians have retained little knowledge of their homeworld.

### Kalos War

The most destructive conflict in Kyodonian history, the Kalos War, occurred circa 1000 BC. The long conflict culminated with the construction and firing of the "ultimate weapon", a crystalline device powered by the Infinity Energy of Pokémon, most critically the Legendaries governing life and death, Xerneas and Yveltal. Originally meant to revive the dead or bestow immortality, the device was converted into a weapon, and wiped out both sides of the conflict. Concurrent to these events was the event known as the Darkest Day, in which the eldritch being Eternatus attempted to consume the life energy of a region.

### Primal Conflicts

After settling the Hoenn region, people realized a cycle which occurs every 1,000 years - as the planet releases more energy, Groudon and Kyogre revert to their true Primal forms, but are stopped from devastating the world by Rayquaza.

### Recent history

The earliest forms of Pokéball are invented in the late 1800s. They allow Pokémon and human societies to unite in a way unlike ever before, and the following centuries result in extraordinarily rapid advancement in technology with cooperation between the two groups.

For all the benefits of the recent technological advancement, there have also been downsides. Organized crime has skyrocketed, along with doomsday cults becoming pervasive across the planet.

## Geography

Kyodon hosts a "standard" geography of primarily oceans with continents spread across it. There are extremely varied climates, and in some cases in locations seemingly impossible, such as the polar Sinnoh region having the tropical Battle Zone.

## Culture and society

### Human society

*For more detailed information, see Kyodonian*

Kyodonians are believed to be descended from several waves of migration from Earth.

The human populations are largely of Japanese, American, and French descent, and some even continue to largely identify with said groups. Their corresponding languages have almost entirely displaced any human languages that had previously arisen on the planet.

The Kyodonian calendar now follows the Gregorian system following American migrations, although given the unknown nature of the migratory process, it is unknown whether the timelines have remained homologous.

### Pokémon societies

Although practically all Pokémon are sapient, few have developed complex societies. Most examples are hive systems adopted by many Bug-type Pokémon, but most individuals either live animalistic lifestyles or integrate into human society.

### Human-Pokémon relations

The relations between humans and Pokémon in the modern day are peaceful for the most part.

### Technology

Technologically speaking, Kyodonians have a technology level akin to that of Earth humans of the 22nd century, albeit missing the crucial factor of commonplace space travel. In that regard, they are comparable to the 20th or 21st century, with these being rare events. The Silph Corporation and Devon Corporation are leaders in practically all fields, holding near-monopolies.

Perhaps their most remarkable technological developments, however, are their limited ability to travel through time and dimensions, and relatively prevalent teleportation devices.

The most ubiquitous piece of highly-advanced technology, however, is the Pokéball. While primarily used for the storage of Pokémon, it is an all-purpose matter-energy converter, capable of holding practically any item, with some limitations.

### Outside observations

The limited number of researchers that know of Kyodon are utterly baffled by the phenomena that occur there. Historians are puzzled by the statistically impossible similarities to Earth's history, and biologists cannot reconcile usual laws with life that exists there.

## Trivia

The name "Kyodon" is wholly fanmade - a portmanteau of Kyogre and Groudon, who shaped the world in Pokémon lore.
