Evolving in such a way as to be tasty really does seem like a counter-intuitive trait.

Anime Adjacent: PokeMon 7
Houndour shook himself awake as the red beam re-materialized him into reality.
It had been a few days since the human had become His Human. It was a strange thing to think. His packmates had never been shy about how much they didn't like humans, the frail, bad tasting creatures were in the habit of taking over their space, breaking up their packs as they hunted for the strongest members and took them as their own.
Humans were strange creatures and his was no different.
"You ready to go, buddy?" Maybe his human was different. Looking up, the strange thing that he called his human reached down and put his hands over Houndour's head, rubbing his ears.
He couldn't help it, his tail started wagging and he leaned in to the touch. He crooned, a soft and low "Ho~und..."
"I got something for you, Sirius." His human had even felt it necessary to give him a name. Houndour didn't quite care but his human seemed to like it.
And his human gave him snacks when he responded to the name.
He struggled and tried to pull away as his human wrapped something around his head, being careful even as he fought. Humans weren't fragile, Houndour had seen some of them take on the flames of his old pack's master, Houndoom, and come back for more.
"There we go." His human pulled away, leaving the thing wrapped around Houndour's head. There were a pair of clear things in front of his eyes and he could feel a strap wrapped around his head. "Got you some goggles, buddy. They'll protect your eyes from the wind while we're moving."
Houndour blinked, adjusting to the way things looked. The edges of his vision were a bit closed in, edged in the bright red material that surrounded the clear stuff in front of his eyes. He nearly missed the sight of something long and green slipping into his human's sack thing.
"Hou-!" He started to growl, trying to warn his Human when they instead picked him up in one hand and grabbed the bag with the egg and green thing in his other hand.
"Alright, just stand right here, okay Sirius?" His human told him, setting him on the middle of the red piece of floor that stayed solid while it moved. "We're gonna head out and I want to get to Celadon City before nightfall."
Disgruntled, Houndour sat and watched his human slip the sack over his limbs so it rested on his back, overtop the old rust. The human had one leg of the platform behind Houndour while the other was on the ground below.
With a kick, they started moving. With another kick, they were moving even faster!
Houndour backed against his fearless human's leg, tail under his belly as the ground moved under them and everything moved by in a blur!
"You're fine, buddy!" His human laughed, kicking the ground again and pushing them both even faster forward. "I'm not gonna let you fall!"
Cautiously, Houndour nervously stepped forward on the wobbling platform. He watched the world change around them, watched the human dens fade away to be replaced with lush greenery. He could hear water moving and they quickly found themselves on a path running parallel to a stream.
His nose was smelling so many things, so many other PokeMon. There were Meowth nearby, probably watching. Pidgey and Spearow darted between the trees. Oddish would briefly poke their heads up and out of the ground, watching them pass.
Houndour's mouth opened and his tongue lolled out the side, the smells of so many PokeMon, so many trees and plants, this was fun!
He made the right choice, following the scary human!

G: Well, found out where he's ended up this time.
J: This time? I thought he finished up whatever he was doing!
G: Mostly. He did leave behind a beacon so he could find his way back there, later. This time, though, he got trapped by a crossover god.
J: A... What?
G: Look, you know how I sort of have dominion over a lot of realities that are expressed as video games? Those have all got their own administrators, I don't have the time to micromanage countless thousands of realities.
K: You mentioned it's a 'Crossover' god? What does that mean?
G: Right. That. It's in an in-between space because two completely different forms of reality converge on that space. I have access to one side, the trio have access to the other. The Creator God there has a duty to deal with both of us and usually that involves telling us both to go get stuffed.
J: So, what? There's still nothing we can do?
G: It's a really weird branch. I'd suggest we get some popcorn. I'm gonna go place bets on how long it takes for A to get mixed up in time travel shenanigans.
K: He hates Time Travel, though?
G: I know. That's why it's so funny.
AN/ Short chapter but it gets done what needs doing. A bit of reactions up next, then pushing on to Pallet! Hopefully. If I don't get distracted.

This is the good stuff.
There's also Snivy, a literal green snake.
Not gonna lie, growlithes are superior to the houndour line as a fire type pokemon. But it's good and realistic to see Alec have one. (Growlithes are hard to get). How common are pokemon stone/nin leveling evolutions. Sometimes they're rare, sometimes their so common.
Any chance we'll see some hidden or rare evos like annihilape, or maybe dome rare pokemon?

Meh, game/stat wise? Debateable. Houndoom has an Mega-Evo for instance.
On the other hand this isn't a game, so there's a very real chance it comes down to training.

I'm guessing the Creation Trio. It's not like there's any other trio of gods that could be said to govern the Pokemon universe.
Well, Vermilion City is a port, the hub of international trade in Kanto.
That could be a lot of things, from basically anywhere. The same as the egg.
I'd say that special evolution Pokemon are uncommon, though the rarity would vary based on the required item. Evo stones aren't actually that hard to get, and I'm not touching on the grade/purity thing others have as I'm fairly sure it's pure fanon. Others, like the ones to evolve Magmar or Electabuzz, would be out of reach for most trainers.
Some, like Honchcrow, could even be encountered in the wild. Though it's noticeable that any stone evolution that's encountered like that tends to be pretty strong, even for the area they're often encountered in.
So maybe treat the stones as a catalyst, cutting the energy requirements and allowing a Pokemon to evolve sooner? Or even allowing Pokemon to reach a threshold for an evolution that's technically possible but can't be reached by normal means, such as Magnezone or Rhyperior.
As to Houndour/doom- Yeah, they actually have a pretty limited move pool and their stats are less impressive. They can at least learn Thunder and Psychic Fangs to offset some of their natural weaknesses but they are almost wholly incapable of dealing with Ground type Pokemon at all. They can at least learn Mud Slap to handle the Rock types.
That being said, they're one of the friendlier side of the Dark typing and can natively be found on Route 7, which is a bit distant but not too far away from Vermilion itself.
Very much so this. It's not as ridiculous as Digimon in having baby Pokemon slap down legendaries but the stats, while still significant, matter less overall compared to training. Proper training and encouragement can cover a lot of weaknesses.
(So, fun fact. The kids that Al was interacting with in the group home? They were named NPC's from one of the games. The egg also had a few clues attached to it to indicate the region it came from but we'll see who catches on
)

One piece of common fanon I see regarding the difference between the anime and the games is that in the anime, there's no limit to how much EVs a Pokemon can get. As long as they continue training, they'll keep getting stronger and stronger.

The sailors mentioned Yveltal, so Kalos, right? I didn't see much else besides maybe the ship name, but I don't know enough to connect the dots there...(So, fun fact.

So, for example, an Eevee could surround themselves with Fire Type energy for months to evolve into a Flareon.
or they could eat a fire stone and do it instantly.

Huh, I had dismissed the region clue because they're sailors, so realistically their pokemon could come from anywhere. But if that was a clue, I'll take swing at guessing, and make a boat load of mostly incorrect assumptions.
Well, to start with, I'm going to assume you're not interested in doubling up on types. Next, it was implied that the egg came from that sailor's pokemon, and sailors tend to have water types. It was also a common enough pokemon that he didn't try to sell it or gift it. He has multiple eggs, so they likely have a slightly longer hatching time. The egg was found and thrown off of the ship, which implies the pokemon could exist on the ship, that seems to exclude water locked pokemon. Finally, and this one is reaching really hard, the egg could not survive in the sea, which indicates either a fresh water favoring pokemon or one that'll lay eggs on shore.
I'm going to guess a Binacle is in that egg. There are others I'll be willing to put money on, but if I have to make single guess, that's it.

While I agree non-sapient animals are definitely supposed to be a thing, and are the least...odd possibility, it can be fun playing Devil's Advocate.
Maybe the egg could be explained by non-fertilized Pokemon eggs. Or maybe Exeggcute sheds eggs? And Chansey being a thing, maybe those that don't want to be medical professionals turn into food producers, or cooks. For the ham/bacon, I've seen definitions that depend purely on cut, so they could be from anything with appropriate size (or smaller with extra processing) and bellies/loins/butts.
Perhaps some Pokemon don't make the 'Dex because they've been completely domesticated, and are held exclusively by big farms that exploit them making/growing cuts of meat. If anyone asks, those Pokemon went extinct, and any resemblance to those things in that field are just psychics/fairies/Ditto screwing with you. Or no one ever admits they're being slaughtered, and the Leagues are pragmatic enough to green-light it.
*Goes to skim Pokedex to see if there are other meat substitute non-kill producers...*Bulbasaur-line that are fine with being slaughtered...er, dismembered... and regrow from their bulb/flower being planted in the ground? Might apply to more grass pokemon. Multi-headed Pokemon able to be trained to produce extra bodies by something resembling macro-mitosis? Useless in battle but great for butchers. Krabby/Kingler/other crab-ish Pokemon shedding claws and regrowing legs? Dugtrio spawning buried animal corpses if one head is killed, but it regenerates later? Specially trained Torterra generating animals in its shell-mini-ecosystem?
...Yeah, actual animals are the most sane and/or least morally questionable explanation.

I was reading another story where pokemon could use areas rich in aura less concentrated than evolution stones, with the caveat that because there was less aura to fuel the change the pokemon also needed a certain level of strength to evolve. Or in game terms there was a level requirement to go with the natural 'evolution stone.'

plus with medical technology, i can see pokemon with already strong regenerative powers being boosted to be able to produce way more than normal.

Honestly Pokemon tech is good enough they can probably just do cloned meat or something like it. Or everything is vegan made from berries and is just a very good imitation of normal because why not. You can pretty much go any way depending on how you personally feel about it.
