Hello, I am Professor Willow. Don't doubt my knowledge because I'm so young, I've studied with the most prestigious Professors in the world you know! Welcome to the Celes Region. I invite you to go out and explore, I'm sure you will find many interesting new pokemon.

You see, 25 years ago, a hidden pass was discovered in the mountains of Sinnoh, leading to an unexplored land full of new pokemon. The pair that had discovered the pass was a couple that happened to be Professors. They had been studying pokemon in the mountains when the ground gave out beneath them and they slid down into the pass. Exploring further they found new pokemon they had never seen or heard of before. With this discovery, more seasoned trainers who had explored other known regions became interested and traveled to the new land. They set up camps that slowly became settlements, villages, and eventually towns and cities until Celes came to be the way it is today. The region was named after the couple who discovered it, who had the last name of Celeste. Their son and daughter are now Gym Leaders in the region.

In the past year, rumors of a certain Team Nova have been cropping up. No one really knows what they want, but it doesn't seem to be anything good. In truth, they wish to capture the Lunar and Solar Eclipse pokemon. With these two powerful Legendaries, the Team would have the ability to thrust the world into complete darkness. In response to this Team, the Pokemon Rangers have set up a base in the region, hoping to thwart their plans, whatever they may be. In the mean time, life goes on. Trainers challenge Gyms. Coordinators plan their routines for the next Contest. Breeders lovingly tend their pokemon.

Come, explore the Celes Region and all it has to offer.
