In this live-action Pokémon series, we are introduced to Madoka Akagi, a young woman who embarks on a career in an advertising agency with hopes of gaining more experience and transitioning into content creation. Like many of us, she quickly realizes the harsh reality of working for others, where we often have to sacrifice our bodies, minds, and souls to achieve financial success.

However, Madoka's life takes a surprising turn when she receives a package from her mother. Inside, she finds some of her childhood belongings, including a Game Boy and a copy of Pokémon Red. This nostalgic find transports Madoka back to her early memories of playing Pokémon. For Madoka, the game is filled with nostalgia.
