Kalos

Kalos is a region of the Pokémon World. Just like the rest of the world, it was created by Arceus, who shaped it with the power provided by its Plates.

Geographical Layout
Kalos is based on the northern half of Metropolitan France.

The region itself is shaped like a five-pointed star. It's not connected to any other region, meaning one would have to travel to/from it by plane or boat.

History
Kalos used to serve as the region of operations for the evil organization known as Team Flare. This is not the case anymore, due to all previous smaller evil groups being merged into the Tekiyoku.

Kalos is the home region of the second Tekiyoku leader, Lysandre. It's also the home region of Mokusetsu leader, Alain. Lysandre met Alain in Kalos after Alain was abandoned by his mother. Lysandre provided a h ome for Alain, who then helped with Team Flare, even though he wasn't a full member.

Around 6 years before the start of the series, the second meteor shower in history was headed towards Kalos, in Anistar City. Most citizens fled the city, but Lysandre and the rest of the former group, Team Flare, stayed and observed Arceus, who was about to stop the shower and save the city. The last time this happened, Arceus lost all of its Plates and had no power.

The same thing happened again this time, and Lysandre picked up two Plates, Fire and Steel, and was about to give them to Arceus, since it needs two Plates to have the strength to recall the rest of them to it. However, instead of giving them to Arceus, Lysandre signaled for the rest of Team Flare to rush in and capture Arceus. They took Arceus to the still-operational Team Flare headquarters while it was powerless. It was eventually sent out to the Tekiyoku Headquarters in Sinnoh.

Kalos was later taken over by the revitalized Tekiyoku, along with all other regions. All Kalos Gyms were shut down and the Kalos League was discontinued. Citizens there were forced to start paying the Tekiyoku taxes every now and then.

Cities and Towns
The following is a list of each city and town in Kalos that's present in Tears of the Fallen. Other than Kiloude City, if a city or town is in the official Pokémon games, but not in the Pokémon anime, then it won't be shown here and it won't be featured in Tears of the Fallen. Other than that, the other cities and towns are basically present in Tears of the Fallen, even though some might not be mentioned in the series. Pokémon anime-exclusive locations may be shown here as well.

Schooling
Kalos is the location of one of the two major academies in Tears of the Fallen. Named Kalos Academy and located in Lumiose City, it attracts a moderate amount of people to it from other regions who can, in turn, experience more of Kalosian life.

Present
In the search for Arceus's Plates, Kalos was the first region traveled to by Alain and the Mokusetsu. Everyone who traveled as a member or just to help out in Kalos were Alain, Ash, Dawn, Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, Shauna, Korrina, and Miette.

The first Plate encountered by the Mokusetsu was Shizuku, the Water Plate. This was in Lumiose City. The second Plate was Ikazuchi, the Electric Plate. That was in Anistar City. The last Plate was Tsurara, the Ice Plate. This was in Snowbelle City. Fights between the Mokusetsu and the Tekiyoku occurred in each area over control of the Plate.

An additional battle happened between Alain and Butler. This wasn't for a Plate, but more of a personal grudge between the two.

Division B of the Mokusetsu traveled to Kasai Village in Kalos as their first destination as members of the Mokusetsu. This subgroup consisted of Zoey, Barry, and Kenny. They arrived there to help clean the place up after recent vandalism and destruction brought about by Kagetomo. They met Sanpei there, an inspiring young ninja. Division B ended up in the middle of a heated rivalry and competition between two people desiring to become the next chief of the village. This was between militia leader, Heidayu, and Sanpei's oldest brother, Ippei.
