The '''Parallel Worlds''' (as named in {{TCG|booster pack}} descriptions) are a pair of worlds introduced and explored exclusively in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the XY BREAK Series.

==Backstory==
[[File:TW Alakazam.jpg|thumb|170px|right|A crowd cheers Mega Alakazam.]]
Not much is known about these worlds, besides at some point several rifts in space revealed the existence of the opposing worlds to eachother: the "nature" and "technology" worlds as seen in the {{TCG|BREAKthrough}}, {{TCG|BREAKpoint}} and {{TCG|Fates Collide}} expansions. However, from many artworks featured in the cards, we can guess the story. These worlds were not only at a close view but also at the brink of merging against eachother, creating a struggle between Pokémon from both sides. This is most likely Giovanni's fault, as his card, [[Giovanni's Scheme (BREAKthrough 138)|Giovanni's Scheme]], shows the two colour schemes of the Mewtwo Y and X cards, thus him likely being the one causing the two Mewtwos to fight, as shown in the [[Flabébé (BREAKthrough 101)|Flabebe]] and [[Marowak (BREAKthrough 78)|Marowak]] cards. In Fates Collide however, the struggle is replaced with themes of unification through {{p|Alakazam|Mega Alakazam}}'s future vision widsom and the enforcement of order along with other Pokémon.

==Geography==
From various pieces of information and artwork from TCG products, it can be determined that the cities featured in most art were once identical lands. While one side's lifestyle focused on ruralism and rustic architecture, the other focused in urbanism and the foundation of modern buildings, even expanding to previously arid lands. These cities are on the shore of an ocean, and both have an island portion connected to the mainland by a series of bridges. A giant tree exists in the "nature" world's island, while a group of skyscrapers is in its place on the "urban" counterpart.

After the rifts, some areas of these worlds featured portals which could be crossed through, the regions artistically seen on the Stadium cards as being upside down from the opposing world's point of view. The {{TCG ID|Fates Collide|Chaos Tower|94}} in Fates Collide appears to be the fallout of the merged areas: a single world/city where buildings and nature blended on eachother, creating a mix of the two worlds' styles.

These locations were also featured on the artwork of many Pokémon released along with these cards: {{TCG|Blue Shock}} focused on Pokémon from the "nature" world and {{TCG|Red Flash}} focused on Pokémon from the "technology world". {{TCG|Rage of the Broken Heavens}} focused on both worlds outside of the urban areas, and {{TCG|Awakening Psychic King}} featured Pokémon in the merged worlds. Two {{TCG ID|XY Promo|Mewtwo|100}} promo cards with artwork from each opposing world were also printed.

==Trivia==
*The concept of a modern and a rustic city from different worlds slightly resembles [[Black City]] and [[White Forest]] from the [[Generation V]] games.
