Overview[]
Adonis is the region Pokemon Solar System takes place. It is split into four parts, each hosting two gyms. Each area is usually referred to with an element.
Adonis can be considered a secluded haven in the Pokemon world and a breeding ground for urban myths and legends. Its citizens lead rather rural lives and while the cities` Gym Leaders keep the infrastructure intact, the cities do not utilize more technology than what is considered necessary.
An example for a myth is the creation of Adonis.
It is thought that in the early stage of the world, when the Pokemon regions are beginning to take shape, small pieces of land broke off of each future region. These pieces of land ultimately connected into each other, forming the Adonis region.
During its forming, the region was hit by a meteor shower, eight stones embedding themselves on Adonian ground. The Adonians chose to safeguard and observe the stones, hoping to uncover more knowledge on their region and the universe around them.
The stones, however, exuded a strange radiance, terraforming the environment even more, resulting into terrains that can be found nowhere else on Earth.
