Project Title: Pokedbots Delta City

Brief Synopsis: The year is 2453. Humanity abandoned Earth long ago after war, environmental collapse, and deadly weather made the planet uninhabitable. The remaining robots — built to serve humans — were left behind and forbidden from leaving. Earth has become their prison.

Most robots now live in Delta City, a vast metropolis built across the once frozen Antarctic continent, now transformed into a warm industrial wasteland surrounding Earth’s South Pole. As the planet’s remaining resources rapidly run dry, survival revolves around one thing: staying charged.

While ordinary bots struggle with failing power supplies and dangerous synthetic energy, an elite robotic faction known as the Silent Klan serves the distant human colonies directly. Hidden beneath Delta City, they are constructing a colossal energy station designed to drain power from Earth’s molten core — a process that could destroy the planet completely.

Ed and Fox are just two ordinary working bots trying to survive another day. But after a drunken night out leads them deep into an abandoned recycling sector, they uncover a mysterious Infinite Cell and accidentally awaken an ancient guardian robot named Senshi.

Their discovery pulls them into a growing rebellion and a conflict far bigger than they imagined — one that could decide the future of both Earth and the machines humanity left behind.
