Info
After optimistic Officer Jalorda/Serperior arrives in Pokétropolis, she discovers that being the first starter Pokémon on a police force of wild Pokémon isn't so easy, as she was sidelined into a boring career meter maid because she's the first starter Pokémon in the police force. Determined to prove herself, she jumps at the opportunity to crack the cases of a missing Pokémon and Pokémon mysteriously fighting each other, even if it means partnering with 2 normal Pokémon townspeople, Bakphoon/Tylposhion and Gekkouga/Greninja, to solve the mystery.
