Ah, no, sorry, the grammar may have been ambiguous there. You will have your gym in whatever town you choose, and for every town EXCEPT Grimstone you will also have been assumed to grow up in that town. Nobody grew up in Grimstone, it's new, so you'd have to move out there. Basically all the other towns are choosing both the location of your gym and retroactive backstory elements, while that one is just choosing a location. Your plan still works fantastically, though!

Got it, going to still stick with Limespiral City because who doesn't want to be eaten by a legendary pokemon

Need to think bigger - It's not just a way to get noticed by Legendary Pokemon, it's also a way to get noticed by senpai as she finds herself in constant need of someone to help rescue her from the Legendary Pokemon that wants to eat her.

You can see what? ...That kinda sounds like a new age philosophy thing. OH! It lets you understand pokemon even without speech, and also tell if they're being affected by things. Like, if they have a pokerus you mean? ...What the hell is a shadow pokemon?

Always nice! So you own a lot of land and are probably good at getting plants and plant pokemon to grow. Might also help you be appreciated in your community as well. Also, free potatoes!
[x] Limespiral City
The largest city ever built underground, Limespiral is a marvel of human engineering and nature alike, with spiral houses built to support themselves without disrupting the cave to lay foundation and match the giant stalactites surrounding the city. Its inhabitants have kind of a weird reputation, though. I mean for starters, it's mostly the kind of people who willingly choose to live underground! They brag about being home to the legendary pokemon Mortana, and shrines to her are common, but sightings are extremely rare. Which is... rather fortunate, honestly. I wouldn't really -want- to see an ultra-powerful Dark-type known as 'The Vengeance Pokemon'. Although Limespiral City insists that Mortana is Fairy type and is The Justice Pokemon. The legends are kind of contradictory in places. [Effective Gym Focus: 3]
[x] Impulsive [+1 Perk]
You're easily excited by shiny objects, and any time something rare pops up for sale you're all over it. On the plus side, rare items! On the minus side, really bad at saving money and budgeting.
[x] Shut-in [+2 Perks]
You don't like leaving the house much, that's why you pursued a job in maintaining a large building. Just getting down to the league office was like pulling teeth. On the plus side, that means you can be open every season without getting bored. On the minus side, that's a lot of world you're missing.

Ah that looks fantastic. Only one last thing to do! Any equipment for your gym you want to requisition?
[ ] Ability Patch Printer
Slowly generates ability patches to unlock the hidden abilities of pokemon
[ ] IV Checker

[ ] Hyper Network
Allows you to contact to a network of specialist Trainers to alter the special abilities of your pokemon if you can pay their fees. Most require payment in rare items.
[ ] Upgraded Pokedex
We can...
[CHOOSE ZERO.]
Hey wait a minute?!? Negative ten million funds? You guys signed up for the Alola plan WITHOUT any money to pay your dues? What in the...
UGH. Well I've already filed the paperwork. So I GUESS you still have a gym. But if you don't pay us back by the end of the year we're both getting fired!
[First quest obtained! Pay back your fees and don't get fired! It sounds intimidating, but it's only about the cost of opening a sandwich shop franchise.]
You blink at that, escaping the liminal space free of thought and identity that is filling out paperwork for hours. The Hazeran league didn't have the funding to open? And is sticking its leaders with the bill?
...You'd be angrier, but as a Templekeeper, this kind of thing actually is part of your duties, and it shouldn't take too long now that you're getting a bounty on every fight and problem solved. Worst comes to it, you'll sell a few pokemon. You've helped your parents at the market often enough.
You ignore the uppity grumbling of the ghost-possessed tablet as you check the pokemon on your belt. You certainly don't want him to get fired! But he's been sassy enough and you're wary enough around ghosts that you can't muster up that much sympathy. If you've got to make money in a hurry, it's probably worth taking stock of your assets.
And also giving those assets a snuggle because they are the goodest of boys.
You let out your ace, a snuffling chitter emerging as something cold presses against your palm and you acquiesce to pat the head of your most loyal partner. You're lucky the first pokemon that tried to eat you was so nice about it. Just after you'd lost your baby teeth was when you met them. The last of them had fallen out and you went to bury them in the corner of the fields as an offering to the Cuspixi like tradition. It was just really rare to see a Cuspixi actually come to collect! You thought it might be a mimic at first... or really dirty... or that you were colorblind, since it wasn't so rare that the general public didn't know they were green, while the creature that showed up for you was a bright, gold-edged peach.
Now you knew what a shiny pokemon was, of course. And were all the more grateful.
Mostly.
You at least got to make a contribution to science by proving exactly how much glitter a shiny pokemon sheds in a month.
That wasn't the only one either, the people back home always loved it when you left it out of its ball, and a lot of facts about the species came directly from the two of you. Such as the fact that despite it's distinctly crocodilian shape, its skin was actually kind of squishy and toadlike. Or the fact that the jaws on its elbows, knees, and ankles didn't actually lead anywhere and functioned more like digging scoops. Or the fact that it eating teeth was not in any way shape or form a metaphor.
"Don't worry [name], we'll be knocking teeth out in no time," you assure it. Cuspixi is kind of a mouthful after all, so you gave it a nickname it responds to beautifully.
The reminder and sublte - if accidental - threat reminds Rotom-HR to hurry it up, and he hands you the basic kit you'll need before sending you back home.
On the walk to the teleporter, you finger your other pokeballs. You wouldn't trade them for the world, and have every confidence in their success. A Cocurious from your parents farm rests comfortably at your side. He fell off the tree one day and hopped into your bedroom while you were training cuspixi, throwing out powder moves aggressively until you caught on to the idea that he wanted to be trained for battle, too. Curiously though, despite his aggressive status moves, he resisted all attempts to offer him held items other than the everstone you found lodged in his shell.
He was a bit less photogenic than Cuspixi as well, a knobbly brown pod covered in thin hairs with an eyeball that seems unsettlingly unanchored in the center was tough for people to get used to. That was probably part of why your family mostly sold parts of its evolved form Brombon, and you couldn't pretend that a background where power-leveling translated directly to sellable products hadn't helped you master raising pokemon fast to the incredible degree you had.
Being rural hadn't hurt much either. And you had fond memories of hunting down pokemon in the wild.
Especially after your third, you remember that moment and shudder.
Hazeran Vullaby. A name that struck fear into the hearts of most. One of the most prolific hunters of humans in any region, and one of the hardest to escape. You remember when you first saw it, you were young, young and traveling with your pokemon up the mountain. It had shown up in its elegant spring dress made of threaded together eggshells, wearing its blush sticker makeup of ash and bone, and invited you to play. And no matter how you try to misremember the incident you can't bring yourself to find any apprehension you felt at the time.
Cuspixi was terrible at fighting it too, its ground type moves got dodged by hops and flutters so elegant you never realized it wasn't part of the dance you were doing. It was only when Vullaby grabbed the bone rush out of its hands that you got suspicious. "Hey, you can't take that! Cuspixi needs bones!" you said, insisting that your new friend play nice. And only then did you catch that it was nighttime and the phase of the moon was wrong.
Fortunately, your brothers knew the danger, and never let you leave home without at least a timer ball, and one toss caught your dance partner... while following an escape rope home was enough to let you escape before worse showed up.
You got back a couple months after you'd left.
It was a shame too. You would have loved to see a Mandibuzz, even if that might have cost you another year. The adrenaline of knowing your death was eminent...
You knew what it was like to be hunted.
And you loved it.
Almost as much as you loved hunting down pokemon in turn.
FEELING like you're part of the ecosystem, seeing Pokemon above you and below you, knowing that the law of eat or be eaten surrounds you, never certain, but always possible, physically and spiritually, harmfully and harmlessly... it was amazing.
That's what made you decide to be a templekeeper. You wanted to share the experience of the hunt. With plenty of traps and assistants to run them down.
And if you only took enough money to pay your dues... well... that was just generous, wasn't it?
Better get started.
[Base Starting Equipment Issued by League:
Pokedex (Toy Grade) - the kind of crappy pokedex they hand out to league challengers. It gives you a fun but questionably accurate blurb about pokemon only after you catch them.
Box of TM47s - TM47 contains Sugar Crash, a fairy move super effective against other fairies, but which deals heavy recoil whether you hit with it or not.
League Computer - Records successful and unsuccessful challengers, tallies paystubs, lets employees clock in, does not currently contain a Rotom.
Phone Number of a Badge Printer - Wait you have to design and have them made yourself?!?]
[Base Starting Equipment Stella just kinda had:
TM for Toxic
TM for Return
TM for Teleport
Everstone [currently lodged in Cocurious]
Eviolite [Currently held by vullaby]
12 each of berry types 1-52 and the ability to grow more. So, everything except the ultra-rare stat boosting ones like Liechi, Custap, Starf, Enigma, Etc.
30x Chocolate Bark - Heals 100 HP. It's bark. That's chocolate. Shaved off of only consenting Brombon. The woody pattern makes it a fun souvenir gift.]
[Character Creation Complete!
Secret Synergies Unlocked!
Alolan Style + Hazera: In-Debt - with a negative starting funds, you have to earn the money to pay back your dues before the first year or this will be a short quest.
Fairy Type + Magically Delicious + I Love Pokemon + I Never Give Up + Farmer: The Wild Hunt
Either cleverly or inadvertently, you chose the exact combination of traits to create a wild-dwelling, fairy-type, manically happy and hyper persistent capturer who is familiar with both sides of the food chain. Stella elegantly fits into the fae archetype of The Wild Hunt]
[Due to choosing 'Ecologically Isolated', three of your pokemon choices were decided based upon personality traits, bonuses, and background. I mean, in theory you -could- have voted for which Hazera region exclusive fairies end up on your team, but you don't know what all of them are!]
[The remaining two pokemon can now be voted on. Please vote for two foreign fairy type pokemon to round out your team. They can be either natural fairy types, or region alternate forms such as Galarian Rapidash or Alolan Ninetails. Please use your discretion as to what it's reasonable to have. Legendaries are obviously not a reasonable choice. If you really, really want a specific pokemon, placing two votes for it is permissable.
You may also vote for nicknames for any of the pokemon. Or choose 'species name' if you wish to keep things simple. ]

Keeping track of nicknames for a pokemon team is a paaaaaaaaaain.
Granbull is fun and suits the Wild Hunt as a hound. And Dedenne because it's not too common a pick afaik.

Pokedex 1
First Pokedex entries of unusual Hazeran pokemon!
Note that the competitive training nonsense related information is only relevant if you want it to be, and this quest will be perfectly functional and winnable even if you only ever choose with your heart. Nevertheless, the information EXISTS, so I'll still print it in side posts like these.
Stella's personal team:
Cuspixi [Shiny, Super Rare]
Type: Fairy/Ground
The Jaw Pokemon
Zig Entry: Believed to be fragments of an ancient legend, Cuspixi can dig faster than it can run, and many who see it passing through a tunnel say the only part of it that can be discerned is the extra jaws on its elbows and knees.
Zag Entry: People of the Hazera region associate Cuspixi's vestigial jaws with the idea of maturing past childhood, and often offer their baby teeth to it as tribute to old legends. Curiously, it often accepts these gifts, digging up bits of silver for the offerer.
Ability: Skill Link
Multi-hit moves hit the maximum number of times
Base Stats:
HP: 130
Atk: 125
Def: 70
SpA: 40
SpD: 80
Speed: 10
Specific Major Character? Yes
Gender: None
Level: 52
Nature: Relaxed
Current Moves:
Bone Rush
Dig
Play Rough
Slack Off
Current Item: N/A
IVs: Unknown
EVs: Unknown
Hazeran Vullaby
Type: Fairy/Flying
The Lost Time Pokemon
Zig Entry: Hazeran Vullaby naturally warps time around it, an ability it has used to pursue a unique form of predation. It entrances, plays with, and spoils its prey as time speeds up around it, letting its prey live out its natural life in an instant and eating what is left behind.
Zag Entry: Unlike their foreign counterparts, Hazeran Vullaby attempts to look as pleasant as possibly, carving its eggshells into facsimile of dresses and using the bones of their victims that have aged to dust like primitive cosmetics. Some say they look doll like.
Ability: Time Warp
If Hazeran Vullaby is on the field, at the end of the turn, it behaves as though five turns have elapsed.
Base Stats:
HP: 75
Atk: 60
Def: 65
SpA: 70
SpD: 55
Speed: 45
Specific Major Character? Yes.

The Wandering Pod Pokemon
Zig Entry: A tough-shelled fruit whose grass nature is entirely dormant. Scientists used to believe it wandered to look for the best place to germinate, but so many of them choose to hold everstones and refuse to evolve that they might just like exploring.
Zag Entry: Cocurious single eye moves freely in 360 degrees through the thick oil inside of its fruit, it explores any area it enters completely, even if, if not especially if, that means swiping any object on top of another one.

Mimikyu
Type: Ghost/Fairy
The Disguise Pokemon
Zig Entry: Living things with even a drop of psychic power suffer immense backlash from looking at Mimikyu's true form. Since it is a friendly pokemon, it wears what it thinks is a stylish hat to prevent this.
Zag Entry: Native to distant islands, Mimikyu forever wears a disguise to look like a pokemon considered benign and popular in that region. In regions where what it is disguised as is unknown, it is more amenable to taking off its costume.

Mawile
Type: Steel/Fairy
Deceiver Pokemon
Zig Entry: Mawiles massive horns have transformed to mimic jaws with such efficiency that it can chew and pulverize materials as hard as steel before transfering the ones it wants to eat to its real mouth.
Zag Entry: Mawile cleverly switches between using its horns for intimidation and its tiny fairy body to distract from its weaponized horns. Its metallic teeth sometimes flake off in the winter.

Family Pokemon:
Brombon
Type: Fairy/Grass
The Treant Pokemon
Zig Entry: Brombon is completely immobile with its roots extended, and lacks the ability to retract them. It often asks passers by to cut it down, whereupon the top part of its trunk will sprout legs and run off, leaving its base and roots as a tasty reward.
Zag Entry: There is no part of the Brombon that is not both edible and delicious, and its regeneration makes taking the occasional sample mostly harmless. However, those susceptible to addiction who do try to eat as much as they can often find themselves suffering a health crisis before Brombon does.
Ability: Regenerator
Base Stats:
Unknown, your parents strongly request you not use them in battle.
Specific Major Character: No
Allpaca
Type: Normal
The Getalong Pokemon
Zig Entry: Passive and simpleminded, Allpaca attempts to go with the flow no matter who it interacts with. When confronted with other pokemon, it will mimic them in an effort to get along, returning kindness with kindness and violence with violence.
Zag Entry: Its gooey black wool is really a mass of undifferentiated cells. It can use these cells to coat itself in a replica of the pokemon around it. The shaggier the Allpaca, the larger the target it can mimic.
Ability: Stand-In
The move Transform, when used by this pokemon, has higher priority than all other actions.
Base Stats:
All 50s
Specific Major Character: Yes. "Higg's Allpaca"
Nature: Calm
Gender: N/A

Note that the competitive training nonsense related information is only relevant if you want it to be, and this quest will be perfectly functional and winnable even if you only ever choose with your heart. Nevertheless, the information EXISTS, so I'll still print it in side posts like these.
Stella's personal team:
Cuspixi [Shiny, Super Rare]
Type: Fairy/Ground
The Jaw Pokemon
Zig Entry: Believed to be fragments of an ancient legend, Cuspixi can dig faster than it can run, and many who see it passing through a tunnel say the only part of it that can be discerned is the extra jaws on its elbows and knees.
Zag Entry: People of the Hazera region associate Cuspixi's vestigial jaws with the idea of maturing past childhood, and often offer their baby teeth to it as tribute to old legends. Curiously, it often accepts these gifts, digging up bits of silver for the offerer.

Hazeran Vullaby
Type: Fairy/Flying
The Lost Time Pokemon
Zig Entry: Hazeran Vullaby naturally warps time around it, an ability it has used to pursue a unique form of predation. It entrances, plays with, and spoils its prey as time speeds up around it, letting its prey live out its natural life in an instant and eating what is left behind.
Zag Entry: Unlike their foreign counterparts, Hazeran Vullaby attempts to look as pleasant as possibly, carving its eggshells into facsimile of dresses and using the bones of their victims that have aged to dust like primitive cosmetics. Some say they look doll like.
Ability: Time Warp
If Hazeran Vullaby is on the field, at the end of the turn, it behaves as though five turns have elapsed.

I can't not vote for Mimikyu. Frankly, I'd use both my votes on Mimikyu if I have to to help push it into the lineup.
I don't want to, but I will if I have to.

This one is probably super helpful to have given how much wild Pokemon are going to be targeting Stella directly.
Other Pokemon I'd consider voting for (provided I don't have to spend both my votes on Mimkyu) would be Clefairy or Jigglypuff.

Nickname suggestions:
[x] Cuspixi: Enamel
[x] Vullaby: Peckish
[x] Cocurious: Praline
Rounds out the team's typing a bit, and yeah, it definitely seems like Stella could use a pokemon known for being protective.
Cocurious and vullaby could be devastating in a team battle, if I understand Vullaby's ability right. 5 doses of Toxic/turn? Double edged sword though.
