Redoing the storyline a fair bit and making it less 'epic' (because having the fate of the entire world on your soldiers is such a drag :<) Also going for a more supernatural take, since I don't want to come up with oodles of techno-babble.
Our story is set instead at a luxurious Summer Villa near the beachside. You and several other trainers have been invited there to take up the challenge of a mysterious benefactor, who promises to reward you with 'an experience unlike any other.' However, you have arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances, and by the time you reach the manor, it is already nightfall. While the staff take care of your things, you and the other guests proceed to the dining hall for dinner. Here, you meet the owner of the Villa, the same man who had invited you to partake of his request. While you attempt to discuss the details of the challenge, he avoids all queries, instead insisting that you enjoy your dinner and that being quite tired from your arduous journey, suggests you immediately retire to bed thereafter, with a promise that all questions will be answered the next day.
Having shuffled off to your quarters, you find that you are indeed drowsy, and soon fall asleep. Later that night, you begin to have strange dreams, dreams in which you are navigating a surreal maze. You are alone, your Pokemon are without you, and stranger still, it seems that you yourself have become a Pokemon. This dream feels to eerie, as though it feels way to real to be a dream; you try to wake up, but as it turns out, you can't! It seems you are stranded in this strange labyrinthian world, what will you do now?
There, I think that's a much better synopsis than yesterday's bilge :>
