Whether they've been around for weeks, months, or
years, sometimes it's inevitable: these otherworldly visitors will go home, leaving their new life behind, and with it, their Pokemon.
Frequently, it's left to the friends and family of the departed trainer-- or sometimes just charitable acquaintances-- to take in at least a
few of the remaining 'mons... but sometimes
they wind up leaving, too. Just what happens to the displaced Pokemon who lost their original trainer and no longer have anywhere to go? Whether they spent some time being bounced from new trainer to new trainer first or just returned to the wild alone right away, for years it was unknown just where they went.
... Until now.
The sometimes-transient nature of these extradimensional visitors hasn't gone unnoticed by the natives of this world, particularly a local family on Route 8 in Kanto, just west of Lavender Town: a young couple who couldn't fathom the heartache of either a stray Pokemon pining alone for its long lost trainer, OR a person vanishing and suddenly returning only to find their dear partners missing, possibly never to be seen again.
It took some years and what seemed like an endless amount of work for their dreams to become a reality, but with passion, dedication, and no small amount of help from both the Lavender Town Pokemon Center and their close relative, the famous Mr. Fuji, they've finally done it.
