You're an Orrean native that went to university out of region due to the largess of your grandfather. Grandpa had made his money on mining, but in his old age he'd become a bit of a laughing stock, claiming that Orre's pokemon were still there. But they'd gone underground after the area was devastated by a cataclysm in ancient days.
He'd tell tales about having encountered pokemon in different caverns and caves, places where light was provided by massive Sunstones or heated by Fire Stone deposits. And he kept a token that he claimed had been gifted from a pokemon that he had run across down there, and healed at his own expense.
When you were in university, you studied under the geology program, and the token that your grandfather had been gifted had been passed on to you as a good luck charm outside of the barren wastes of Orre, and so that you never forgot your roots.
Unfortunately after two years of study, you received the news you'd always been dreading. The news of your grandfather's death hit you hard, but the old man had finally gone to reunite with the love of his life. And he'd left you his plot of land and the house on it. Along with the mine shaft that he carved out himself. And now, after reading up on the strange cavern biomes found under Sinnoh, you can't help but wonder, how fanciful were those tales of your grandfather's?
Maybe you could prove him right. And in the process perhaps even figure out some way to bring pokemon back to the surface of Orre. But there are rumors of a sinister organization skulking in the underworld, and of powerful but strangely bloodthirsty pokemon entering the Coliseum circuits.
Your search for the truth of your grandfather's tales could unearth far more than you ever expected. But with courage, luck, and a heap of treasure to finance your venture, perhaps you can bring a little light into the darkness?
