Synopsis:

The series unfolds in a world where human and Pokémon coexist, disrupted by a clandestine organization known as the Pokémon Nappers. Natsuya, a young individual tasked with safeguarding Pokémon, finds himself embroiled in a mission orchestrated by the enigmatic Professor Hastings. He must combat the Nappers' efforts to capture and exploit wild Pokémon for unknown purposes.

The narrative explores themes of responsibility, environmentalism, and the complex relationship between humans and the natural world. Told through episodic five-minute installments, the anime presents a focused, character-driven approach to its premise.
