## Main Arc

### Journeying through Time

Gilga, a young girl who lost her father a long time ago, decides to go on a Pokemon journey in Palatia. There, she meets with rich and haughty rival Giulia who, despite her upbringing as the daughter of an August (the local Elite Four equivalent), still lacks the talent to be a proper trainer. Gilga goes on on her journey, obtaining the Ice-type badge from **Milonia**, a model from Venetia city.

Gilga however finds that things in Palatia are not as idyllic as they seem, with the intervention of **Team Epoch**, a fascist-like organization that seeks to revive the imperialistic and isolasionist values of the past, and the mysterious appearance of Gladia, an enigmatic woman whom Gilga follows into a grotto near Venetia. That brings Gilga through time towards Palatia as it was during Antiquity.

In past Palatia, Gilga encounters Janice, a powerful psychic and time-travelr and another August, who tells her that Palatia's antiquity and modern times are tied through mystical portals of unknown origin, and warns her against both Team Epoch and Antiquity's Team Augur, led by future-obsessed rebels that seek to overthrow the Palatian empire and take the future's technology for themselves.

### Challenging the Gyms

After testing her might against past Venetia's Legate **Virgilia**, precursor to the Gym Leaders, who appears much too powerful for her, Gilga leaves and returns to the present, advancing on her journey while obtaining the Dark-type and Ground-type badges from **Cadencia** and **Giovanni** of Permisia and Arcades respectively. In Arcades, she witnesses Augur grunts stealing power for themselves, then repels them.

Gilga keeps obtaining badges, defeating holy priestess **Magdalena** of Arceus and claiming the badge of Light in religious Vaticus, then facing off against the haunting spirit of Lucretia in the ghost city of Scaramucci. In Scaramucci, she also encounters an enigmatic figure clad in dark, Trelmarixian. The latter leaves after speaking with Gilga, leaving the latter to claim her final three badges.

### Eclipsing the Present

While Gilga easily claims the Fighting-type and Rock-type badges from defeating Caligna sportsman **Juvente** and Hadrion archeologist **Scavato**, she cannot find the last Gym Leader, normal-type master **Marina**. The mysterious August **Iagonis** appears to her and guides her to Team Epoch's headquarters, revealing Marina to be the true leader of Team Epoch. Gilga faces off against Marina to stop her attempts to return the world to its past state, and succeeds.

But before she can take advantage of said success, Gilga finds victory to be stolen away from her as a dark spirit exits Iagonis to possess Marina instead. Trelmarixian, the true mastermind behind the plot, departs towards another time, now in possession of Marina's body. Gilga quickly finds out that Trelmarixian had spread Marina's influence and formed a massive coup, with Team Epoch becoming the **Epoch Militia**.

Repercussions in time threaten the life of August **Oberon**, Giulia's father, causing him to die and her to fade away. Using Janice's powers, he manages to stabilize Giulia's existence, albeit confining her to the past to prevent any paradoxes. To watch over her, and to fix Trelmarixian's actions, Gilga also confines herself to the past, and starts challenging Legates on her way, proving how far she already went.

### Journey to the Past

Defeating the kind **Dryana** in Arcades and the stealthy **Auditor** in Permisia, Gilga learns from the latter of a grotto hiding strange secrets. By solving a variety of cyphers, Gilga manages to access the mythical pokemon **Etarvuq**, allowing her to possess fine control over time and time-traveling, much like Janice did before her. Gilga resumes her journey, encountering once more Lucretia in the now brillant and shining Scaramucci.

Lucrecia guides Gilga towards the headquarters of Team Augur, where she encounters admin Cassandra and recruits her due to the latter's admiration of Gilga's talent. Cassandra tells Gilga of Team Augur's true leader, Legate **Scipior**, in fact also manipulated by Trelmarixian into stealing technology and summoning the powerful pokemon **Visiocetra** that would drastically advance past Palatia's evolution at the cost of its future.

Gilga defeats Scipior, but not before he manages to summon Visiocetra. To chase it, Gilga must first obtain the help of the continent's legendary trio, gods detained by Legates Virgilia, **Neronius** of Calignia and **Enech** of Vaticus. By defeating the three of them, she finally accesses Mount Palas, and manages with Gilga and Giulia's help to subjugate the creature. But even as they do so, it is too late, as Ouroblimia of the Four Beasts is summoned by mankind's greed for past and present.

### The End and Beyond

Gilga is consumed by Ouroblimia, but manages to travel in the Beast's interior and face off against Trelmarixian, expelling her from Marina's body. Trelmarixian then attempts to possess Cassandra, but Gilga is then assisted by her long-lost father Ian Woodrow who gives her an occasion to strike Trelmarixian down. Gilga manages to hijack Ouroblimia from within and make her self-destruct, defeating Trelmarixian and protecting Palatia.

Gilga exits victorious, albeit bitter and still under the pressure and trauma of what she went through. Nevertheless she marches on, defeating the final Legate, **Octavian**, after challenging both Giulia and Gladia. Only Victory Road remains with the four Augusts : Iagonis, Oberon, Janice, and Gladia's mother **Altera** of the dragon tribe. After defeating them, Gilga challenges Champion Julius Caesar and barely defeats him, but refuses the title of Champion, asking to leave Palatia instead and embarking once more on a journey.
