The [[{{Deuteragonist}} secondary plotline]] ([[TheEponymousShow from which the title is derived]]) involves [[AntiHero Silver]], the son of [[TheDon Giovanni]], as he [[RebelPrince deals with his life as the heir of Team Rocket]]. After he obtains his [[StarterEquipment first Pokémon]], a [[ActionPet Totodile]] as cuddly as [[LonelyRichKid Silver is distant]], he slowly starts to break away from the double-life he was raised to lead. A goal that may be even more difficult than he expected, when he's simultaneously trying to deal with the [[EnemyWithin dark heart]] he's already [[InTheBlood inherited]]. And, that's all before the Chosen One crosses his path and [[NothingIsTheSameAnymore changes everything for both of them]].

They must bring them together before the [[CelestialDeadline foretold time]] in order to defeat an ancient evil, a [[BigBad warrior known as Moonsbane]], and his [[AnimalisticAbomination army of monsters that aren't quite Pokémon anymore]]. Obviously, [[JumpedAtTheCall Ash accepts the quest]], even with minimal explanation, and is joined by his [[ChildhoodFriends old friend, Misty,]] and two newcomers: [[TheIdealist Nyx]], a [[AllLovingHero cheerful Umbreon]] from the [[DarkIsNotEvil Dark Temple]], and [[IceQueen Aura]], a Lucario with [[DarkAndTroubledPast more than a few scars]] and an [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold abrasive surface personality]]. Their journey will teach them not only the forgotten truths buried in their [[LegendFadesToMyth world's ancient past]], but [[HiddenDepths about themselves]] and [[DarkSecret their own histories]].
