This local tech mogul is well-known for their monopoly over most computing devices, aside from Pokédexes, which are primarily produced by a competitor. Throughout the game, a (yet-unnamed) secret agent confronts the player, collecting information on Tenasklim. The rival is meant as an endearing nod toward Pokémon Vietnamese Crystal, a Pokémon bootleg infamous for its poor translation into English and indeed, it is implied that he traveled to Sificos from Johto. However, he struggles with the language somewhat, and is prone to spouting non-sequiturs, such as randomly proclaiming his love to the player character in the middle of heated rants. He just moved to the region of Sificos and is desperate to prove his worth as a Trainer by starting from scratch and raising local species. The player's rival (referred to as Aries in the plot description) is a more aggressive character along the lines of Blue and Silver. Living in a world where data about Pokémon are accessible at any time, she hopes that the children of her town use their Pokédexes not just to write down information, but to build relationships with many Pokémon. She is confident in budding new Trainers, as she believes that all legends start from somewhere. Professor Whimstick is the Pokémon professor of Huloima Town. Sificos is also affected intensely by the weather, able to have an entire season of blistering sun or heavy rain. The second floor of Pokémon Centers includes a coffeehouse chain. Other locations revealed include the bustling city surrounding the Tsilwot Tower, a waterfront market, a large white arena, and an airplane-populated area similar to the Mistralton City runway. The Tsilwot Tower is a prominent landmark to the west of the region. Unlike in Unova where there is a contrast between these same ideals, Sificos integrates both into everyday life. It is a land both of stunning trails and peaks, and of technological advancement. Pokémon Chronos and Pokémon Cosmos are set in a region named Sificos.
