The story follows Sorento, a bike gang member by night, food attendant by day, and his Houndoom Lira, as they faces the consequences of a new temporary ordinance passed in Salípolis that forbids Pokémon workers from accessing the city.

The story takes place in a city only ever named as “the City”, a multilevel city built on the face of a mountain. Hints are spread through the story that this is actually the city of Salípolis.

Commentary from various characters places the story sometime in the timeframe from 3733 PE^{(~0 after Gen1)} (after the Near Apocalypse of 3733) to at most a few months after 3735 PE^{(~2 after Gen1)} (after the Lega Runa Battle Tower formally opens to the public). In particular commentary from the bike gang members who are unsure of who is the Champion might put the story closer to the tail end of year 3733, as there are rumours concerning the identity of the Champion (at a time when Machalí sol Linaros) and Ravir Eisenhorth were trading for the title).

There are various references to other works as well as worldbuilding elements of the Suocéverse.
