  Summary

  When Red disappears from the League, Lance has an issue.

  A giant, Champion-shaped issue.

  While unraveling the reasons behind his disappearance, Lance finds himself caught between conspiracy and malice, trying to find the remains of a League he'd once been proud to be a part of. At least, he's not alone. He's got his team, of course.

  And one Viridian Gym Leader ready to help him step up and become a Champion of his own.
