The '''Twin Worlds''' (as named in [[booster pack]] descriptions) are a set of regions introduced and explored exclusively in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the XY BREAK Series. They are the same region, only in parallel worlds. In this Region, pokemon can use a power called BREAK.

Not much is known about these regions, besides at some point several rifts in space revealed the existence of the opposing worlds to eachother: the "nature" and "technology" worlds as seen in the {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} and {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansions. These worlds were not only at a close view but also at the brink of merging against eachother, creating a struggle between Pokémon from both sides. In Fates Collide however, the struggle is replaced with themes of unification through {{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}}'s future vision widsom and the enforcement of order along with other Pokémon.

==History==
These two parallel worlds once existed completely seperate from each other in alternate realities, until one day, portals began appearing in the dimensions, linking the two. Pokemon from the dimensions began exploring each other's worlds at first, until the worlds themselves collided, with the nature and city landscapes of the regions merging with each other, and breaking through to each other, where nature took over the city, and the city took over nature. These portals also granted pokemon the BREAK ability, giving them a golden metal shine and more power. Mega Alakazam saw this, and After chaos ensued, with the two worlds crashing into each other, they repaired themselves by combining their technologies, as seen in the {{TCG|Steam Siege}} expansion. After a while of harmony between the worlds, brought by Zygarde bringing order to the chaos, the sky erupted in pink as Hoopa arrived to the two regions, through a glowing golden ring. It is unknown what happened to the region after this point, but it is presumed that elements of the two worlds continued merging.


==Geography==
==Geography==
From various pieces of information and artwork from TCG products, it can be determined that the cities featured in most art were once identical lands. While one side's lifestyle focused on ruralism and rustic architeture, the other focused in urbanism and the foundation of modern buildings, even expanding to previously arid lands. These cities are on the shore of an ocean, and both have an island portion connected to the mainland by a series of bridges. A giant tree exists in the "nature" world's island, while a group of skyscrapers is in its place on the "urban" counterpart.

====Nature World====
A giant tree exists in the "nature" world's island, the landmark in the center of it. Medieval towns exist throughout the region, as well as castles, with renaissance technology.
====Urban World====
A group of skyscrapers exist on the "Urban" world's island, the landmark in the center of it. This region has cities and modern architecture.
====Connected Worlds====
After the rifts, some areas of these worlds featured portals which could be crossed through, the regions artistically seen on the Stadium cards as being upside down from the opposing world's point of view. The {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|Chaos Tower|94}} in Fates Collide appears to be the fallout of the merged areas: a single world/city where buildings and nature blended on eachother, creating a mix of the two worlds' styles. In the Urban world post-connection the city is flooded, while in the Nature World the oceans are drained.
