Mechanics
Capture EXP
Pokemon Another does not use standard capture EXP. Instead, all capture EXP will be dumped into a collective pool. Once the total capture EXP reaches 30, all trainers gain a level and the pool empties back to zero. Multiple instances of the same species do not stack for capture EXP, as per normal rules. First stage starters are worth 0 EXP.
Pokedex Scan
Standard Action - At-Will
Class: Status
AC: 2
Range: 6, 1 Target
Effect: Priority. On a hit, the target's species data is added to the Pokedex. If this is the first time that species has been recorded, the group gains a Pokedex Point. Additionally, the player may ask for one additional piece of information about the specific target: gender, Abilities, level, held item, Type, or special qualities.
Bonus: For the purposes of Focused Command, Pokedex Scan can be treated as an Order.
Pokedex Points
Whenever a species is added to the Pokedex for the first time, the group gains a Pokedex Point. As a means of motivating the trainers to catalog many Pokemon, Professor Oak has promised prizes and rewards for amassing large numbers of Points, but only time will tell what that actually means.
Badge Powers
Once you possess a badge, you may draw power on it to perform amazing feats. Each trainer in possession of a League badges has a single Badge Point (BP), which may be refreshed once a day, but only by getting a good night's rest, such as at a Pokecenter. Badge Points may be spent on any power the trainer has access to as follows:
Boulder Badge
Standard Action - Interrupt - 1 BP
[Orders] [Badge]
Target: Your Pokemon
Trigger: Your Pokemon is hit by a damaging attack
Effect: Your Pokemon resists the attack a step further.

NPCs

Professor Samuel Oak
Age: 55
"Your very own Pokémon legend is about to unfold! A world of dreams and adventures with Pokémon awaits! Let's go!"
Info: Professor Oak is a star among Pokemon researchers, a veritable scientific idol. With the help of interns and aides, he runs the Kanto Pokemon Research Laboratory, where he primarily specializes in the relationship between humans and Pokemon - a Pokemon behaviorist. That said, he's well-rounded, at least when it comes to Pokemon, and had a lengthy career as a Pokemon trainer before settling down to focus on his research. Despite his intelligence, Oak is a forgetful goofball and relies on his assistants to take care of fine details, but he can always be counted on for timely advice. Recently, he created the Pokedex, an electronic encyclopedia capable of gathering Pokemon data, which he hopes to refine as a tool for trainers all over the world. |

Daisy Oak
Age: A lady never tells
"Grandpa asked you to run an errand? Gee, that's lazy of him."
Info: Daisy is the granddaughter of the esteemed Professor Oak. Like the professor, Daisy has also gone into the field of Pokemon research, where she's focused primarily on Pokepsychology. She has a natural talent for understanding the feelings of Pokemon and much of her own personal research focuses on rehabilitating abused or abandoned Pokemon. However, as she works out of her grandfather's laboratory, Daisy often ends up as his assistant, making sure his own air-headed nature doesn't cause too much trouble. Rumor has it that, once upon a time, Daisy was a junior coordinator, a hobby she's apparently given up. Though she maintains a sweet, nurturing disposition, she has a mischievous streak - particularly when it comes to her family. An avid tea drinker. |

Blue
Age: 18
Classes: Juggler/Trickster
"♥"
Info: Another of Oak's interns, Blue is a somewhat vacuous girl whose primary interest in the League journey is money. She seems to prefer bulky Fairy Pokemon, providing some necessary support to the boys' teams.

???
Age: ??
"…"
Info: The leader of the Viridian City Gym, who seems to be out of town while the building is under construction. |
|
Stanford
Age: Old
Classes: Rock Ace / Taskmaster / Defense Expert
"See if you can wrest this Boulder Badge from me! Show me your best!"
Info: The leader of the Pewter City Gym, Stanford is a hard, gruff man who at first refused to accept the interns' challenge, after some other traveling teenagers got him all cranky. However, upon seeing their will and determination to fight him, he eventually caved and arranged a proper battle for the group's first badge - which they lost. Despite winning the match, Stanford offered the three the Boulder Badge, symbolic of a trainer's grit and inner power, but Cyan and Nina refused that gift. He seems to have a particularly rough style of training, causing his Pokemon to appear worn, but weather even crippling blows without faltering. Despite a certain emotional distance and the arrogance of age, Stanford has earned the respect of his gym trainers as a man who can back up his bluster and as someone who cares about the success of young trainers in his own weird, damaging way.

Bigfeets
Age: ???
"I'm not saying it was aliens, but…"
Info: One of the most famous cryptoids in Kanto, urban legend states that Bigfeets lurks in the forest that covers the sides of Mt. Moon. While no concrete proof of the Bigfeets' existence has ever been found, there are plenty of eye witnesses, blurry photographs, and supposed historic accounts all pointing to a single fact: Bigfeets is real! At any rate, the gang discovered unusually large Pokemon tracks in the soil of Route 3 and followed them, leading them to a grove full of Clefairy, who were less than helpful in discovering the origin of the tracks. While Bigfeets is primarily spotted during daylight hours, similar testimony suggests that La Chupachewy emerges to stalk Mt. Moon at night. The interns probably met him already. |

Carl Johnson
Age: 17ish
"[externally screaming]"
Info: A weird, awkward nerd discovered in Mt. Moon, where he'd been captured by Team Rocket. As he has a permit from Stanford to excavate fossils, he was strong-armed into mining them on behalf of Team Rocket, at least until the interns intervened. He's kind of greasy and smelly, but that may be due to being kept underground for two days before being freed from his captors. His ability as a Pokemon trainer is unknown, but Carl is extremely knowledgeable about fossils and minerals, and possesses immense strength under duress. To show his gratitude to the interns, he gave each of them a fossil. He seems to have a friendly relationship with Mt. Moon's Clefairy population. |

Abby Surge
Age: 16?
"Don't be mad, but…"
Info: A young lady the group encountered outside Pewter City, but who apparently lives in Vermilion. She is an artist, specializing in watercolor landscapes, and often travels around Kanto for new scenes to capture. She also often borrows other people's Pokemon to escort her on these day trips, most notably her sister's, which worked out up until a Mankey stole her Pokeballs from her. With timely help from the interns, Abby was rescued from having to try to beat up a Mankey with her easel and given her very own Pokemon to train (and explain to her surely understanding sister when she got home). Despite being a bit loose with other people's possessions, Abby is an otherwise sweet, shy girl who enjoys the outdoors and likes to take things easy. She prefers tart snacks and likes to take afternoon naps.

Big Sis Surge
Age: ???
Classes: Speed Freak / ???
"???"
Info: Abby's sister, who is supposed to be quite strong. Her Stunfisk, while a derpfish through and through, was identified as being Speed Unlocked.

Atlas
Age: ???
Classes: Attack Star / ???
"If you're so eager to play the hero, then I'll oblige you."
Info: An admin of Team Rocket, Atlas is (or was) the man in charge of the Mt. Moon fossil excavation racket. Having moved on from robbery and theft, he led a group of grunts in kidnapping and forcing some nerds to find fossils for the Team, thereby obtaining large amounts of rare Pokemon. Eventually. Atlas is a Cool Beauty who keeps his calm even when losing and who always has an exit strategy, typically by employing his Pokemons' Teleport. For now, it appears that the interns have thwarted the Mt. Moon operation, but Atlas and the rest of Team Rocket remain at large. Cyan seems to have a bit of a crush on him.
