Pocket Monsters RéBURST (ポケットモンスター RéBURST Poketto Monsutā RéBURST) is a Japanese shōnen manga series created by Jin Kusude and collaboration with Mitsuhisa Tamura, based on the Pokémon franchise by Nintendo and Game Freak.

Plot[edit]
The manga follows the story of Ryouga, Miruto and Yappy as they all search for the mysterious figure known as "Arcades". Only Arcades knows where Ryouga's missing father is and will tell him his location if Ryouga is strong enough to face him. Along their journey, they must also stop the evil Great Gavel Organization from taking over the world.
