Rule 8 exception: Captioned albums of game screenshots that form an original narrative

Lore is below. There will be a heading

the premise is that. uh. its just a gang. 'cause goon is like, my evil plotters, the henchman type of goon
each of the main team is based on and named after a team role, the moves they learn will reflect this (as much as i can get it to anyways)
the plan is to get Bossman to be obstagoon, Kiddo stay as a zigzagoon, and the rest of the main party be Linoones.
Goon #13 which is selected in the third image has the blue circle and red heart marking because she was hatched from an egg :3 (i think it was goon #2 and goon #3? i dont remember)

i have been dillydallying to hell (i love camping) and have not yet beaten the first gym

okay i actually wanted Kiddo to have the silk scarf 'cause im gonna have him be normal type specialist (except i gave him babydoll eyes because it fits his theme) but kiddo has pick up ability and i want that loot. so when i draw fanart kiddo will have silk scarf. but perhaps tank will still have one

Lore

Gus Russell Background

Gus Russell (the trainer) got a job offer in year 11 to go to the Galar region to train as a pokemon camp guide assisstant, like work experience stuff. This is because he is a really awesome cook. Gus Russell is originally from Hoenn (like kabu!) (because thats the generation where the zigzagoon were released IRL).

Anyways Gus Russell completes his two year work experience at Galar (so he's finished year 12 and graduated and stuff. its like TAFE if you know what that is) and stays in galar to continue to be a pokemon camp guide and cook awesome curry.

Fateful Meeting

One day he was camping on Route 2, just chilling and stuff, making some awesome apple curry, and the apple curry smelled so awesome that it attracted some wild galarian zigzagoon (which later come to be known as Bossman and Tank) and so Gus Russell shares his curry with the two zigzagoon (at this point Gus Russell has no pokemon) and the two zigzagoon take a strong liking to him.

Because of the time Gus Russell has spent around pokemon during his many pokemon camping sessions, he has grown accustomed to having a general understanding of pokemon's wants. That is to say, he can tell these two zigzagoon want to start a gang.

Thus, Bossman recruits Gus Russell as the gang's support unit and chef, and over the next few days they continue to recruit some other zigzagoon on route 2 until the whole goon team was formed (the main party) in the order as seen from the screenshot, except Kiddo was recruited last. Btw, think of Kiddo as some scruffy kid on the side of the road they decided to adopt.

Frolicking with the Goon Team

Yay so now Gus Russell is the support unit, he heals them with curry and healing items, gets them money so they can purchase stuff, and is somewhat of a strategiser, though he cannot beat Brains's level of intelligence of course.

man i really like how the natures and characteristics line up with their role but thats probably because i based their role on their stats. so uh.

i bought 100 pokeballs. i used a revive just so i could camp and heal everyone. i love camping. did you know you can fight the corvisquire on route 3 by whistling at it.

also !! i DO keep the specially obtained pokemon like sobble, pikachu (let's go), and wedgehurst station slowpoke. im just not gonna use them
