Release

Premise

The story follows Taverna the Salamence for a duration of about one year while he lives in Isla Triángulo. The story has four scenes, each of them featuring one season:

  • End of Winter” features Taverna hiding in a cave for hibernation and musing on his first adventures as a Salamence as he listens to the rain outside. The scene also describes two other relevant inhabitants of the island: a large tree referred to as “The Tall One”, and another slumbering dragon in the island.
  • Nascent Spring” features a few Pokémon such as Rockruff and Krookodile fighting over a food source on one of the escarpments of the island; however their scuffle is interrupted by a roar and a Steam Blast as Taverna divebombs the scene, knocking off the other Pokémon and appropriating the escarpment as the island's apex predator.
  • Late Summer” features Taverna enjoying the beach and harassing a few Krabby, when his attempt at picking one of them for food is interrupted by trees going haywire. Taverna inspects the area to find a human Trainer, one of the few regular visitors to the island, and her team as they are wandering about and gathering fruits and berries, and Taverna decides to attempt and extract tribute from the group.
  • Opening of Autumn” features Taverna flying to the skies above the island, as he goes to meet the other dragon inhabitant of the island who has also woken up from their nap. The other dragon is revealed to be Rayquaza and Taverna has the great idea of meeting him up and introducing himself by way of combat.
