There is a battle between light and dark inside all of us. Caligo’s inner battle is more literal. With his light persona and dark side in constant battle with each other, it can be a mystery as to which one you’ll face in battle.
Survive the struggle between light and dark to find the Balance Badge!

Kaylah is well on her way to becoming a full-fledged Psychologist, helping people and Pokémon manage their thoughts, feelings and behaviours. But there is one competency that Kaylah still needs to assess to complete her training – Pokémon battles! What better way to prove she is competent than to take on challengers of the PAX Pokémon League? After all, Psychologists need to be able to read people in the therapy room and on the battlefield.

Onyx was born with a creepy face, and people bullied her for it. The bullying got so bad that she started wearing a mask to cover her face. However, when Onyx saw a Mimikyu for the first time, she found someone who knew her pain. That Mimikyu became her partner, and she built her team with other Pokémon who knew what it was like to be like her. Now Onyx is out to show the world that looks don’t mean everything.
