On another distant continent lay the Unova Region.
Nacrene City, Driftveil City, and Mistralton City served as the Unova Region's largest warehousing base, logistics hub, and air transport center. Together, the three controlled the region's main flow of trade.
Standing above these three cities was Evil Under the Moon, one of the Seventeen Families.
After Fighting type Marshal swept through Mistralton City, followed by a warning from Hoenn Champion Steven, the Under the Moon clan's prestige suffered a severe blow and came under scrutiny.
However, as one of the deeply rooted Seventeen Families, they recovered in less than two years. Although they lost their influence within the Unova League, the Under the Moon clan received ample compensation in exchange.
Surprisingly, Shinrin Under the Moon, the eldest young master known as the clan's "golden child," gradually lost his central position within the Family over the course of that year. There were even rumors that he had left Unova and ventured alone into other regions.
The person the Under the Moon clan brought back into the spotlight and entrusted with vast resources was now their little-regarded younger young master, Muren Under the Moon!
Even more bewildering was this:
Muren Under the Moon, once described as "utterly untalented" and "not worth pinning any hopes on," had undergone a complete change in temperament, becoming gentle, refined, humble, and courteous...
As one of the Under the Moon clan's new bases, Driftveil City was also the trade center they now publicly valued most.
That day, an airship landed at Driftveil City's Flight Platform. Muren Under the Moon emerged alone, a faint smile on his face.
He climbed into the car waiting outside and soon returned to his estate on the outskirts of Driftveil City.
This was where Muren Under the Moon lived.
"Young master! Welcome back!"
