Madoka moved to Tokyo to pursue her dream, but reality was not so sweet. The glittering world she had imagined was not what she had in mind. In addition, she ends up taking on a presentation that holds the fate of the company in its hands. Then, Madoka receives a package from her mother. In it is a Game Boy and Pokémon Red cartridge that she used to play as a child. She starts playing Pokemon Red for the first time in 20 years.
