The Nido families have rapidly disappeared across the world. Vast groups of them have been seen traveling overland-and vanishing into what seems to be a shimmering mirage that appears where a huge sun ray touches the earth. All kinds of Pokemon have followed their lead, and it is rumoured this portal leads to a Pokemon haven without a human in sight.

Legendaries are merely myths, gone and past, having vanished more than a thousand years ago. Still more rumours say this is where the legendaries disappeared to.... But one small Nidorino has been left behind, and with nobody to guide him he makes the long trek alone, with only a stone feather and his instincts to take him to 'Solaris-the Land of the Sun'.
