As they dig deeper, Leo and Elise uncover the existence of a secretive and powerful organization known as The Order—a cult that has infiltrated the highest echelons of society. The Order's influence extends far beyond Veridian City, rooted in ancient esoteric practices designed to manipulate the human psyche and control reality itself. With the next solar eclipse looming, The Order prepares to unleash a ritual that could alter the fabric of reality.
