Hey y'all! Got a small change. The region is split into 10 areas, each inspired by a different place. Scotland and Tokyo will be the inspiration for 2 of these instead of the whole region.
The object of the region (which I'll refer to as a game from now on) is to collect the 19 type plates before Team Umbra, The evil team terrorizing the region, and return them to Arceus. (Troy Mcclure voice) You may remember Team Umbra from such fanfics as "The Helm of Shadow" and... that's it. more about them later!
Arceus was attacked by General Errol, the leader of Team Umbra, badly wounding it. Its type plates fell to Earth.
Each area has 2 Totem/Noble-like battles called "Warden Pokemon." They each found a type plate after Arceus lost them. (The first area has 1, because 19 can't be evenly divided by 2) Some of the Warden Pokemon chose to protect and eventually return the type plates, but others chose to use the plate's power for their own gain. Each Warden Pokemon is a new form of another 'Mon.
THE GIMMICK!
Accursed and Blessed Pokemon
Somewhat early on your journey, you'll be given the Chiaroscuro Band, It's a half purple-half gold bracelet that contains the power of darkness and light, and allows you to channel the power of both into a Pokemon.
Once during a battle, you can use the Chiaroscuro Band to infuse your Pokemon with the power of shadow or light. You can choose which of the two to use. (Think agile/strong style) It doesn't matter which one with most pokemon, but some have special forms that only appear if you use a certain one of the two called Accursed/Blessed forms. The Warden Pokemon are locked in these forms due to the power of the Type Plates, which is very difficult for a 'Mon other than Arceus to control. This will also raise all the stats of said pokemon, (regardless of which pokemon it is) Accursed/Blessed forms also get a unique move they can only use while in that form. (Think gmax moves)
A quick example! When Sharpedo is infused with shadow energy, its tail becomes an anchor and chain, Its teeth look like hooks, and it gets larger. (That was a quick description.)
Any water type moves it knows becomes Aqua Anchor, a 130 base power physical water type attack. It has 5 pp.
Next, I’ll make starters and the first area!
