 The Story

The game sets up in the Torren region. Just like every other region in the Pokemon universe
Torren is well known for his gyms and the Elite Four.

But Torren is torn apart because of the actions of cultists groups. There is five very powerful
groups all driven by different aspirations. They all worship a different legendary Pokemon and
are up for anything to achieve their goals.

The story starts a year after the second augur named Jaern has started his augur duty. The
first augur disappeared in a mysterious way even though he was the biggest threat to the cults.
So now Jaern swears he will protect the Torren region inhabitants from the cultists and will
bring them all down.

You are an unknown character waking up thanks to the help of a mysterious telepath
benefactor from a Gengar eating all your dreams and memories. You realize you are in the
middle of the Darkrai Cultist secret base and decide to escape for your own safety thanks to
the help of the legendary Pokemon Mew sent by your benefactor.

It all starts now, are you ready to live the Insurgence adventure ?

 Telnor Town

After a small chat with a boy named Damian meet the local people.

A : an NPC giving you five Pokéballs.

B : an other NPC will offer you three potions.

Head to the Town Hall, go see Damian and enjoy the chat.

You can go to the Pokémon center to buy some Pokéballs and potions
for your next adventures.

Then go to the Lab to get your very first Pokémon.

Note 1 : NPC = Non Playable Character

Note 2 : The Pokémon Center is a place where you can heal your
injured Pokémons, buy new items and new clothes. You can see next
page a presentation of the Pokémon Center.

You can now summon Mew anytime by using the Quartz Flute located in your « Key items » pocket in your bag.
Note that you can register up to three items to keys of your keyboards for a quicker use of those items. The key Q, W
and E are by default the three shortcuts assigned. You can change them along with every other controls in the main
menu of the game. Mew is also no longer a member of your team for now and won’t help you in fight anymore.

Important note : This guide will give you all the informations so you don’t miss any item or important fact but it is very
highly recommended to chat with every NPC you encounter to learn more about the game and its lore, it will give you a
better understanding of the game. 10
Pokémon Center

First Floor

You can find here a little shop

selling different kind of basic
items from potions to Pokéballs
and even status conditions
healing such as antidotes.

Note that the range of items you

can buy improves as you earn
new gym badges.

11
 Time to choose your
Starter

Once you are in the lab listen to the conversation and

then you are invited to choose among four Pokémons to
have it as your starter Pokémon.
You can choose between the usual Eevee which the
professor gives to the young adventurers or one of the
three delta Pokémon given by Reukra.

The coming pages will help you decide which Pokémon

starter to choose. If you want Eevee talk to the
professor otherwise pick one of the pokéball to get a
delta pokémon.

Once you are done get out of the Lab and go exit Telnor
Town to reach back Telnor Town.

12
 Delta Bulbasaur

Type : Fairy / Psychic

Delta Bulbasaur is a Fairy / Psychic Pokémon specialized in special attacks.

His double typing is quite interesting, his weaknesses are Poison, Ghost and Steel types.

His last evolution as all starter has access to a mega-evolution form with the ability Hubris allowing
this Pokémon to have a special attack bonus everytime he kills an enemy.

Note : Delta Bulbasaur has access to Leech Seed and has a decent Special Defense allowing him to
tank quite a bit against Special oriented Pokémons.

13
 Delta Charmander

Type : Ghost / Dragon

Delta Charmander has a quite original typing giving him immunity to normal and fight attacks while
he has 5 weaknesses, 6 elements not very effective against him and 5 types normally affecting him.

He has an all or nothing strategy since you will end very often on a Pokémon doing you a lot or very
little damage.

Delta Charmander specializes mostly in Special Attacks (even though he learns a few physical on
high level) and his mega-evolution brings the new moon weather making ghost and dark attacks
stronger while weakening fairies.

14
 Delta Squirtle

Type : Fighting / Dark

Delta Squirtle has a double typing making him weak only to Fighting and Flying attacks (and ultra
weak to fairies).

Therefore he can handles a lot of pokemons but his moveset is quite predictable.

His attacks are based on « aura » moves which are strengthened by his mega evolution form.
He is the bulkiest of the starters learning a range of defensive moves and having the best starters
defensives statistics.

15
 Damian

Damian is now becoming your friend and rival.

He lives in Telnor Town with his foster mother and the mayor and complains
that all of his young friends are going on their adventure while his foster
mother doesn’t let him go because she thinks he’s not responsible.

Thanks to the mayor’s help Damian and the hero obtain a Pokémon from the
Professor and therefore can go in the Telnor Cave to pick a rare stone to
offer it to the second augur Jaern soon visiting Telnor.

Damian sees it as an opportunity to show his foster mother he can be

responsible and is mature enough to go on an adventure.

16
 Shade Forest

You can now start to catch Pokémons. It is recommended

to catch a Nidoran (male or female doesn’t matter) to make
it learn double kick. It will allow you to break rocks and
give you an easy way to kill Rock Pokémons. Gastly is a
very useful Pokémon aswell his Ghost type makes it
immune to normal and fighting attacks and he has several
disabling abilities such as Hypnosis which helps you
against trainers with tough Pokémons and also to catch
wild Pokémons.

Don’t forget the items on the road (especially the Pokégear

since it’s a very useful item) and fight all the trainers to
better train your freshly caught Pokémons.

It is very risky not to catch any Pokémons so try to have at

least 3 different Pokémons up to a decent level (matching
your opponents trainers Pokémons).

 Telnor Cave

Just go through the cave and grab the Pokéball

(A) on the way. Fight against Ruin maniac
Garen (B) and then head down the the lower
floor.

It is interesting to catch a few Pokémons in the

cave such as Roggenrola or Onix for later use.
Their Rock typing gives them advantage
against fire Pokémons which will be very useful
later on. Baltoy is your first Psychic Pokémon
you come accross and for that reason can
become interesting aswell.

Not much to say here just keep going through the cave.

You will soon encounter Hiker Kinman (A).

Don’t forget the Pokéball (B) before you take the ladder.

Don’t worry about heading back to town to heal if you are close to
the exit since the next cutscene will directly lead you back to town.

Once upstairs you meet Damian and listen to a conversation between two cultists plotting against
the second augur. You are then back brought back to Telnor Town.
21
Telnor Town

First go to the Pokémon center to heal your Pokémons.

Since you are in the Pokémon center you can aswell go to
the shop upstairs to buy some Pokéballs or Potions if you
need to. Try to always have a couple of status healing items
(5 of each is a good number).
Now head to the Town Hall to warn the augur that the
cultists are trying to assasinate him.
As you get inside Damian decides that protecting the augur
would be a responsible behavior and asks you to help him to
beat the two cultists.
Once you beat the Abyssal Cultist the augur thanks you and
invite you to visit him when you go to Helios city.
Damian is now considered more responsible and since he
has the augur benediction is allowed to travel all over the
region so the two of you decide to see each other in Midna
Town accross the Telnor Cave (see the map at the bottom).
So you have to go through Shade Forest and Telnor Cave all
over again.
Note that there is no item in the last Telnor Cave room.

 Route 1

Just a straightforward road with several trainers to fight

against and some interesting Pokémons.
Ponyta is your first fire Pokémon and a good one, Hoppip
can become a good disabler and Blitzle is a nice alternative
to Pikachu as Electric Pokémon.

Stop by the dark cave on the way, you can have different
Pokémons there and when you reach the other side of the
cave you enter the Midna garden (see next page), a place
where a nurse can heal your Pokémons among other
things.

Once you are done with the dark cave and the Midna
garden you can go back on the road and finally enter Midna
Town.

informations on it below.

What is a hidden grotto ?

Hidden grottos are hidden throughout the game. They look like a
small shadow entrance between two trees (see the picture).
You can enter inside by interacting with it.
Every day each hidden grotto content changes randomly according
to a specific set of content for each grotto. They most of the time
have rare Pokémons impossible to find anywhere else. Check the
pages for each Route so you don’t miss hidden grottos.

All of those 8 possibilities are evenly possible to

You can go once every day to fight a pokémon or

gather an item (in each hidden grotto).
