Aspen Meloc lives a quiet life in the Kanto region with his mother and grandmother. At fifteen, Aspen is accepted into the prestigious Kanto Academy, a new institution founded to prepare young trainers for the world of Pokémon and discourage them from embarking on reckless adventures. Unlike most, Aspen has no interest in the chaos of Pokémon battles. His dream is simple: to graduate as an herbalist and dedicate his life to growing berries, following in his grandmother’s footsteps. However, his mother insists that he attend the Academy, believing it will ensure him a “better future.”
