Deep within Mt. Coronet in the Sinnoh Region.
Few people ever ventured here. Covered in wind and snow year-round, it was hailed as the place closest to the realm of the gods.
Inside a Secret Base converted from a natural crystal cavern and filled with futuristic technology.
A mysterious organization had been secretly monitoring the Energy Flow of the entire world through an enormous energy observation instrument that seemed to be made of stars.
They were the "Time-Space Guardians."
An ancient faction that had existed since antiquity, taking it upon themselves to maintain the stability of time and space.
They belonged to no Pokémon League and served no individual. Their only faith lay in the balance and order of time and space.
"Elder, an unusual energy disturbance has appeared in the Kanto Region."
An observer in a white uniform respectfully reported to the mysterious figure at the center of the base, who hovered cross-legged in midair, his form shrouded in a hazy glow.
"The source of the disturbance closely matches the incident we detected not long ago, when someone took the Space-Time Plate from Mt. Coronet."
The mysterious figure addressed as "Elder" slowly opened his eyes.
They were deep, ancient eyes that seemed to hold the stars of the universe.
"The power of the Space-Time Plate is not for mortals to meddle with."
The elder's voice, ethereal yet commanding, echoed throughout the crystal cavern.
"Ye Li... that name has stirred far too many ripples in the torrent of time and space."
"His actions may pose unpredictable risks to the fabric of time and space throughout the world."
"Send Hunter." The elder's voice brooked no argument.
"Have him go to Kanto and investigate Ye Li's true purpose. And, if necessary, retrieve the Space-Time Plate that was never his to begin with."
