Background / History
Mei comes from Castelia City in the Unova region of the Pokémon world. Qiao Ran first recognizes her in a photograph shown to him by Eve, who says Mei has recently joined her sister’s company and is a powerful trainer 20.
Mei later travels with Dr. Lilia’s research team. When poachers attack their returning vehicle, she helps defend it with Serperior and meets Qiao Ran after the fight 35 36 37. In a private conversation, she tells him that Unova’s Legendary Pokémon have disappeared and that the region has been invaded by “dark forces.” Trying to recall further details—including why she came to Qiao Ran’s world—causes her pain. She joined the archaeological team partly in hope that discoveries from the Pokémon world would help restore her memories; Dr. Lilia’s psychic abilities also ease her intermittent headaches 45.
