Fifteen years have passed since the notorious Cipher was disbanded. They left dozens of Shadow Pokemon in their wake: Pokemon whose "door to their heart" was artificially closed, causing various effects to their powers and personalities. While some scattered Shadow Pokemon may remain from this time, most were rehabilitated and Purified. Much of this work was done at a rehabilitation center, a large sanctuary in the Orre region where experts took care of Shadow Pokemon until they were ready for Purification. The center was disbanded long ago for the happy reason that it was no longer needed.

Then, disaster struck as the widespread Team GO Rocket unearthed the forbidden and forgotten Shadowing procedure. Trainers around the world have rescued these altered Pokemon. Some have been Purified by individual trainers or kept as Shadows. Most have been transferred to Professor Willow, who was unprepared to handle such a large influx of difficult Pokemon. He teamed up with Orre's heroes - Wes, Rui, and Michael - to reestablish the Shadow Rehabilitation Center. The new center has just opened up, and both staff and residents are adjusting to their new lives.

Are you a Shadow Pokemon? How has sealing the door to your heart affected you? What will happen in the process of recovery? Are you a former Shadow helping those less far along in their journey? Are you a never-shadow Pokemon or even a human volunteer? Whatever the case... I just like Shadow Pokemon and want to roleplay. :)

Let me know if you're interested or have any other ideas. Note that, in Pokemon GO, Purification is pretty easy. This RP is like the Orre region games, where a Pokemon must spend time bonding with others in order to slowly regain its former self.
