At some point, several rifts in space revealed the existence of the opposing worlds to each other: the "nature" and "technology" sides as seen in the {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} and {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansions. These worlds were at the brink of merging against each other, creating a struggle between Pokémon from both sides. This could be related to [[Giovanni]], as the [[Giovanni's Scheme (BREAKthrough 138)|Giovanni's Scheme]] card has the two color schemes of the Parallel City card. In Fates Collide, however, the struggle is replaced with themes of unification through {{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}}'s future vision and the enforcement of order by {{p|Zygarde}} and other Pokémon. | ||
