>you came from Johto to this new region at the request of your uncle, who is doing research with the pokemon professor
>instead of the three starters, there is only one: a normal type wolf-like pokemon. the starter can use evolution stones to evolve to either water, fire, or grass mid-forms. Later on, it evolves to its third stage and gains a secondary type (water/fighting, fire/electric or grass/fairy)
>yor rival also receives a starter, but he doesn't fight you right now
>before going to your first gym, your uncle you give you one evolution stone of choice for your starter. rival chooses the one with type advantage, and right away you evolve his pokemon. you have the choice to either evolve now or later, but is forced to battle him
>after the gym, you meet your secondary rival, although he is older than you and already a pokemon trainer. he is currently raising a special pokemon given to him by the professor.
>as soon as you finish your battle with the 2nd rival, he will teach you how to perform Super Hybrid Attacks. When a pokemon have a secondary type, he can be trained to use hybrid moves that have the effects of both its types. There is a huge variant of moves (Fire/Fighting moves are different from Fighting/Fire moves, for example). In order to use these moves, you need to train your pokemon through the Pokedex, similar to Gen VI super-training
>you carry on with your journey, eventually butting heads with Team Force, a group of trainers who are focused only on becoming the strongest. Their leader is the former champion of the Pokemon League
