Sozona: Sunset's Edge
Welcome to the Sozona region! This roleplay is set on the same continent as Unova, far from many other regions. Far West lies an expansive desert with little to no support for life -- or so at first glance! This region is located in a unique high desert, full of life and beautiful scenery! Each city is an oasis located in a valley, giving well needed protection from the harsh sun and dangerous wildlife in the desert wilds. Its too unsafe to travel on foot between cities, so many trainers ride Pokemon partners well suited for the area! The legendary pokemon that are revered in this region are the Regi Trio along with Regigigas being the main deity. You play the part of an aspiring pokemon trainer. You want to conquer the pokemon league and believe with every fiber of your being you can do it! You are from a distant region and have decided to travel here to start your journey! The region is huge, much bigger than the games have depicted regions. It will take days to reach cities so you will have plenty of time to train and meet new friends in the mean time! Now go off and start your journey!
Sozonan Forms?!
On this journey you may encounter many pokemon you might slightly recognize from your home regions, but adapted to a regional variant well suited for this harsh environment! The most commonly Sozonan form is Dodrio! In this region the normal/flying pokemon is a ground/flying type that people mostly use as PokeRide partners to cross the desert! Sozonan Dodrio has the ability Skill Link and can use its two side-heads to launch successive-hitting attacks like Bullet Seed and Rock Blast almost like a cowboy firing a quickdraw!

Leveling and Moves
Levels are used to measure how long you've had a pokemon and how experienced it is with battling, they are not used to determine movesets or evolutions. Pokemon are able to learn a wide variety of moves naturally including TM moves from any generation. The way Technical Machines work in Sozona is quite different. Pokemon are more inclined to adapt when exposed the energy located in this region so TM's are more rare and usually contain moves that don't occur naturally in any pokemon (Fanmade moves). While pokemon can learn almost any move for free, the catch is that permission must be granted to learn non-level up moves. All pokemon will have their movesets generated by me and you can build on them.

To start your intro use either note from the professor as the beginning:
"I have received your application to receive a starter pokemon and I am writing to inform you that you have been accepted. Please come to my lab at the University of Sozona to collect your starting pokemon and the new pokedex I have developed. There is a new feature that will help you a lot as a pokemon trainer! You should also take on the pokemon gym challenge so you can get stronger with your partner pokemon to help you with the research.
Good luck and see you soon"
-Prof Ironwood
-or-
"I have received your application to receive a starter pokemon and I am writing to inform you that your application has been rejected. My deepest apologies go to you, but these limited pokemon are reserved to go to the best applicants, and sadly your application did not meet the same standards. Good luck on becoming a pokemon trainer, and I again I apologize for not being able to help you.
-Prof Ironwood"
