  Summary

  Team Rocket’s latest brilliant plan ends with Jessie, James, and Meowth crashing straight through the roof of a prestigious Pokémon research lab.
  The staff definitely didn’t schedule a Team Rocket encounter into today’s itinerary, nor a medical emergency, but soon enough the broken roof becomes the least of their worries.

  Somewhere between the disasters and the paperwork, there's an unexpected entanglement between two groups who were never meant to meet. And the more time they spend together, the clearer it becomes:
  Sometimes the help you need comes from the last place you’d expect.

  A comic series mixing humor with a more grounded, mature take on the Pokémon world. Contains themes of injury, trauma, and other mature and dark topics alongside plenty of comedy, chaos, found-family moments, accidental personal growth and questionable life choices on all sides. And of course, a lot of Pokémon.
