Canal City Stories Setting

Far below, deep within massive underground caverns, a species that merged pokemon and human survived with what little light, water, and food there was—before bending the caves to their will and estabilsihing a civilization that endures to this day.

After centuries below, the surface is a myth faded into legends of scorched fires and hellish destruction. Humans are an ancient legend.
