The staple storyline in all mainline Pokemon games is to defeat all the Gym Leaders and Elite Four to become the Champion.
However unlike the previous Pokemon games, the gyms do not have a set order, so you can battle the Gym Leaders in any order you want. Once you defeat all of them, you will take the Champion Assessment and will be given the Champion Rank if you pass the test.
Alongside becoming the Champion, Pokemon Scarlet and Violet has two other different storylines called Path of Legends, and Starfall Street which features Team Star.
Both legendaries' designs call inspiration from vehicles with Koraidon appearing as a motor-bike and Miraidon appearing as a hover-bike.
This design is not just for show as both Koraidon and Miraidon have multiple alternate forms that allow them to be better equipped for traversing the Paldea Region.
