Godfrey eagerly looked over the newest reports, all of them having come in one after the other. Despite the obvious challenges he'd be facing, it was a treat to see so many new discoveries, and he knew for a fact that he'd have to see them for himself. First off, he went for the most frightening one- a deep-sea Chinchou line, adapted to prey even more effectively in the Shulian waters. Luckily for him, a chance sighting off a rented boat and a near-sinking resulted in him being able to collect photographic evidence of the Pokemon, as well as its habitat. After some time Godfrey was able to confirm the presence of the Shulian Chinchou and Lanturn forms.Next, he left on a much easier task, visiting various smaller towns and homes around Shula for evidence of the next new sighting. The domestic Zigzagoon were friendly, once introduced to him, and after talking with a few families he was able to confirm the existence of the line as not a mutated fluke, but regional forms in their own right. After much longer, Godfrey was able to confirm the existence of Shulian Zigzagoon and Linoone in domestic environments, as well as in various escaped plains populations.With only two more to go, Godfrey decided to go for the chillier one, venturing up into the icy mountains of Shula to search for the elusive Hoothoot variation. Though proud, he was eventually able to snap a photo of one, and even convince a Noctowl to spare him a few moments of its time- and just in time to keep him from freezing his nose off! Having climbed into the Shulian mountains, Godfrey was also able to find explicit evidence of the Shulian Hoothoot line, even managing to see a Noctowl up close.Finally, Godfrey made his way to the Kasabian Volcano area, not quite so much looking forward to the hunt for new Pokemon as he was at the start of his trip. Still, he braved on, a pit of dread forming in his stomach as he felt the volcanic rock rumble beneath him... Finally, Godfrey was able to confirm the existence of Shulian Onix and Ignix in Kasabian Volcano and the surrounding areas, as well as successfully able to avoid catching heat stroke in the process.Nix Night + Croconaw remember to remove the apps from your PCs!

Electric/Dark Emolga Description of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the sprites Reason for appearance ~ Emolga always did rather well in certain parts of shula considering the weather and the storms which were not uncommon, however in other areas they didn't fare quite as well. This lead to a shift in diet, the pokemon beginning to feed from fruits and berries more over their small bugs and mammal diet from before they shifted. Over time the pokemon began to live more in trees and bushes, their bright yellow coloring far too much of a give away to hunters and bigger pokemon looking for lunch.
This lead the species to slowly turning darker, able to use their wings both to glide between branches but also to hide in the shadows of trees or to look a little like fruit on a branch themself and not be targeted by other pokemon. This worked very very well and pretty soon it was hard to work out if that little red round thing you were looking at in the tree above you was an apple, a pokemon or berry! This added to the pokemon earning myths and legends as "vampires" and while it is true the pokemon can live off of smaller pokemon or fruit, these are surely nothing more than just stories.... |

---> ---> Thunder Stone Normal/Electric--> Normal/Electric Meowth/ Persian Description of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the sprites Reason for appearance ~ Feline pokemon have always been popular in Shula but considering how adaptable and diverse the species were before becoming big in Shula, it was almost expected they were going to be a little different on the islands. What wasn't expect was the species to effectively be dropped as a pet, the pokemon quickly having to learn to fend on their own out in the different wilds of the region. Over time a large pride of the pokemon began to appear in the Faraday plains, fitting in with the Luxray prides and Pyroar tribes there.
Over time, between mixed breeding and their new home, the pokemon began to change. Their fur became shorter and more static, sparks growing easier from the pokemon until pretty soon the species was able to hold their own with the best Luxray. They were smaller than their pack counterparts, quicker and more agile but didnt pack as much of a zap. All the same, with this new skill the pokemon began to spread out more, quickly moving in to their own territories and beginning to survive on their own as their own species. They quickly became known as very successful hunters, stunning their prey and quickly moving in to take them down, however this quickly made the species sought after and after all this time, the kitten began to move in to family homes as now very statically charged pets once more.

---> ---> ---> ---> Protector at Level 25 ---> Metal Coat at level 40 Dragon/Dark --> Dragon/Dark -->Dragon/Steel Axew / Fraxus / Haxorus Description of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the sprites Reason for appearance ~ What exactly happened to the line of very fierce dragons to make them darker in color and type is not 100% certain when it comes to Shulian history, there are stories of the dragon type legendries picking out the line to be something of a protector and enforcer for something they wanted to keep safe and away from others hidden in the clouds so they had to gift them wings to get there and dark and stronger horns and armour to do their jobs. Thats the story version of things, a lot of researchers think that the pokemon had to grow wings in order to make the trips between the islands as wings give a easier time swimming as well as to combat the lighter of winds considering the size of the wings the pokemon have.
While they tend to protect them, all 3 forms have wings though fraxure to tend to tuck theirs away under their protective plating and are happier to run around on all fours and charge their issues. Their smaller form tends to keep to the darker areas of their mountain and forest homes, using their wings to flitter from place to place quickly or to swim through small amounts of water. Its their larger form which have become a challenge for the world, with their large form, wings tough enough to fly short distances or slice stone and horns able to slash through most metals, when these pokemon begin to battle, it gets scary quickly. Its thought that actually merely competing with one and other lead to the increase in the defensive armour of the younger forms and the sharpness of the largest form but the legend is more of a fun story then trying to apply logic.

Having thought he would have a nice long break after his most recent exploration out into Shula investigating previous claims, to return to his Snorlax and their little shop / stall to find a fresh batch of claims awaiting him would naturally cause a faint sigh to escape the boy but alternatively a small smile in the knowledge that he would be able to go exploring again would make it all the better. With that would Godfrey replenish the supplies of his own and of that his Snorlax's before dashing out to search for these newest beings.
After much searching and patience in each of the different area's where these pokemon were claimed to be living would Godfrey come to confirm the existence of the Emolga, Meowth and Axew along with any existing evolved forms living in the wilds

Level 14 --> Level 34 with a Stone depending on region Mountain - Hard Desert - Sun Forest - Leaf Deep Sea - Water Cavern - Moon Island - Dawn Types also shift depending on region after evolution to Staravia, all keep flying as the base and then gain the additonal below
Mountain - Rock Desert - Ground Forest - Grass Deep Sea - Water Cavern - Dark Island - Psychic Starly/Staravia/Staraptor Description of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the sprites Reason for appearance ~ The stories of Starly from Shula as the things of legends, they are pokemon said to only come to bond with royalty or those of such power than they were considered picked out by legendries. Stories even say that they were the orginal protectors of gijinka, their abilties to both hunt anyone on land and yet fly a child to safety making them something of an icon of the "sub-species" of humans. Of course this is all waffle but the pokemon are powerful, proud and very hard to come by if you do not have a sensible head on your shoulders. Known as some of the most successful hunters in the region, Shulian Staraptor dont come out from their nesting homes unless they are looking for a mate or to hunt. Thats it, that always get their kill so theres no other need to.
Its thought that the lines began to separate as the pokemon began to settle in different parts of the region, the Deep Sea variant having wings able to flying them out further to sea and better swimming skills whereas those in the Mountains became so hard that almost nothing could rattle them merely as examples. Over time it actually was rather common for sightings of these pokemon to be mentioned as different legendary pokemon due to their shape being easily able to be mistaken for others at a distance, there are even rumors of some of the "Village of Legends" older members having some as their personal pokemon but considering the Village supposed to be its own legend, theres doubts within the world about that.

This one was...a complicated discovery. Godfrey had to visit six different regions to confirm 3 Pokemon each, totaling up to a number of 18 Pokemon just for one evolution line.Not only that, but there were multiple conflicting reports as to each, meaning that when he did find them he had to confirm the typings himself. All this meant that he was out for a long time, to the point where when he returned it had to be to pick up supplies over anything else. Finally, though, he was able to find each of the lines in each of their perilous environments, and was able to return home to sleep in his actual bed. After a great deal of searching over several months, Godfrey was able to confirm the existence of the Shulian Starly line in the furthest mountains, deserts, forests, seas, caves, and offshoot islands of Shula.
What a trip!Lawrence Moone remember to remove the app from Nix's PC!

Rhyhorn / Rhydon / Rhyperior Description of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the sprites Reason for appearance ~ The first example of humans trying to intervene in nature, this pokemon and its species have been changed. It seems they have adapted and as a species, they are doing better for the change, but its not come without its issues. Formed after diamond crystal tried to force a gijinka in to using her natural powers in a way they were now able to or designed for and forcibly charging them, a series of pokemon were "infected" by this. It seems like a stage of evolution, increased power or something similar was started, stopped, and some how broke or changed the pokemon in the middle.
The rhyhorn in the local caves were simply too close, or maybe more in tune with the ground they were within and so forth, but a large series of them were changed in to these fairy types due to the gijinkas natural ability being forcibility boosted. Stones grew out of the bodies of the different rhyhorn and the pokemon became more in tune with nature, the above ground seasons and so forth. The pokemon do have a harder time remaining deep underground now, needing plants, sunlight and things like that as almost a way of "recharging" from time to time but the species has not been totally put at disadvantage for all thats happened.

Now this most recent report that would come across Geoffrey's desk would result in mixed feelings for him, for it would instil a rush of excitement in the knowledge that there were a new 'specie' - well, sub specie - to be found and confirmed to be around, however it were what he were reading as the likelihood of how such beings came about that would pain him in some manner. But it were not something that could exactly be changed now and all he would be able to do was accept it were possibly out there and treat it like he would any other discovery - he just needed to make some preparations first.
After much exploring and seeking out tracks and signs of these beings in the area's that would make the most sense for such pokemon would Geoffrey come to confirm the existence of these unusual beings

Riolu -> LucarioGhost / Fighting -> Ghost / PsychicLEVEL UP FROM A SHULIAN RIOLU DURING A FULL MOON WITH MAX HAPPINESSDescription of coloring/sighting ~ n/a Reason for appearance ~ it is believe that this shulian form is from ancient times, blessed upon a lucario by arceus itself. although how this form truly came too is unknown, some speculate that the lucario's had been hunted down to near extinction by mankind. and when the last lucario had fallen, arceus itself came to its aid and brought it back to life during a full moon. by doing so, its aura abilities were heightened and typing had been altered into a ghost and psychic type. however, this didn't just effect the lucario. for when the lucario had offspring, it appears that the riolu's have taken on the ghost typing as well but keep its fighting type. over the many years and limited knowledge of this form, it had been forgotten and lost to time. it has been labeled as forbidden fruit that many desire, but few can achieve. only a select few have seen this form in person over the many years and it's reported the shulian riolu/lucario was spotted in and around the seven peaks of strider mountains. however, these reports are very old and many have given up hope to every see one let alone own one. the shulian riolu/lucario's are very isolated creatures, finding mankind to be a vile species and does its best to keep away from them at all cost. they live in small packs and always move around to keep themselves hidden. upon further investigation, reports have stated that this line also have adapted different abilities as well. normal abilities for the line have been listed as cursed body or shadow tag while the hidden ability is believed to be wandering spirit. in the pokedex, it states "THESE POKEMON ARE ALWAYS FOUND NEARBY WHENEVER A DEATH TAKES PLACE, HUMAN OR POKEMON. THEIR AURA ABILITIES CAN SENSE SOULS IN DISTRESS AND ITS SAID THAT THEY HELP SHEPHERD SOULS INTO THE AFTERLIFE". although the shulian riolu has no size difference, the shulian lucario are notably two feet taller than traditional lucairos. how fascinating?! |
using one of genesis shula form applications. also, i tried to make a sprite but i failed horribly. edit: shulian riolu and shulian lucario have their own moveset

Another report with a pokemon that might prove challenging to find. Godfrey steeled himself. The pokemon were avoidant of people, frequented lonesome, difficult to traverse places, and seemed to appear where death had recently occurred?! Godfrey had faced equally fearsome creatures before, so this one couldn't be more difficult than those! ... Though, he did hope that they weren't quite as intimidating and antisocial as the reports made them seem. Some of the sightings were quite old and possibly subject to some creative retelling... The fruit of many days of intense searching is hard evidence of the existence of Shulian Riolu and its evolution. It only took seriously breaking in a pair of hiking boots!(Belated, but the usual reminder: Genesis Fox , if the app isn't already removed from Genesis's inventory, now's a great time to do so!)

Fairy/ Psychic Cleffa --> Happiness with Shiny stone --> Clefairy --> Dawn stone under shooting stars --> ClefableDescription of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the spritesReason for appearance ~ It was always known the clefairy species came from the stars, was what not known until very recent events in a deep cave underground and hidden from the world was in fact the pokemon had adapted to exist in most regions and didnt always look the way they did. Underground with little to survive off and mostly darkness around them, the pokemon remained in the Stasis like state they tended to use as they shot through space and it wasn't until someone went back to the Crystal Caverns to dig deeper and found one of these pokemon, assuming it to be an oddly shaped rock, and cracked it open they discovered these pokemon. Since being brought to the surface, more of their kind have been found in very high places which researchers think means they are being signalled here or brought here from other places beyond our region, beyond our world even, but they are very sociable and seem to be very curious about the pokemon and people who have found them and are around them, not quite understanding the huge stir they make when they just wander in towns and begin asked questions telepathically. |

Ghost/ Psychic MimikyuDescription of coloring/sighting ~ Not needed, got the spritesReason for appearance ~ No one actually knows what a Mimikyu looks like under whatever it is they chose to wear, this making the pokemon very adaptable and things like hiding and changing very easy. Well, some do, but they are ghost pokemon about now or not feeling chatty. That being said, its also why researchers at this time believe Shulain mimikyu managed to hide for so long. There's nothing else to explain it, well, nothing known to them. Why the pokemon has changed its appearance is unknown, though the pokemon it appears to be based on has been reported a couple of times by people around the region who were challenged in battles by a being who no one can quite remember or report on correctly, so it is assumed this is where the link to the psychic typing has come in. It fairs the pokemon very well, it is able to connect to others and speak to them as well as shown feelings and images through the mind which allows this species to get to know others at much less of a risk than its Alolan counter-part. It also appears to be as curious as it however, and as shy, hiding under the wraps of a pokemon it seems to both idolise and yet know very little about from its reports. While the pokemon dont appear to be common anywhere persay, appearing in many places, it is reported many of them have been seen gathering in the Ruins out in the Desert as well as other places in large groups. It is, at this time, unknown why this behaviour happens, but does seem to be around the Lunar cycle. Is there something else to discover here? Wa__t, was_t _his....I h_d __or no_es, I'm sur_ I d_d. Wh_ do_s _y __ed hu__ so Su__en_y..... |

A strange species of Clefable, and an even stranger variant of...Mimikyu? Godfrey scratched his head, unsure of how he would go about finding these Pokemon. A challenge it may be, though, a report was a report, and so after making the necessary preparations the boy set out for adventure! After some time exploring, Godfrey was able to record evidence of both the strange Cleffa line and the strange new form of Mimikyu in various locations around the region.Lawrence Moone remember to remove the apps from your PC!

---> ---> Holding a Sachet knowing Mega Drain for all typings Ghost/Fairy --> Ghost/Fairy Sinistea/ PolteagistDescription of coloring/sighting ~ Got the sprites for the fairy version, thanks Émeline Regnard This pokemon has been seen to change its secondary typing due to exposure to other herbs and nectars, this changes the coloring of the "potion" the pokemon appears in. Poison tends to be in shades of green with flicks of black or purple within their mixtures, Psychic takes on a red color with hints and flicks of silver or royal blue and Ground has become a yellow or golden color with flicks of a deep green or orange hidden within. Ghost/Fairy - Heal Powder Ghost/Poison - Revival Herb Ghost/Psychic - Energy Powder Ghost/Ground - Energy Root Reason for appearance ~ The story goes that Sinistea come in to being when a lonely spirit slips in to a leftover cup of tea, the issue is, in Shula, we dont got a lot of those tea drinkers. Sure, they are around and things happen but this meant when one day a bottle on a shelf seemed to grin back at a child in a local apothecary, it wasn't too much of a headache. Pokemon need potions, a lot of people make their own healing balms and the like and so over time it became something of a good omen if you were lucky enough to find one of these projects with a small smile or a helping hand when you werent quite paying attention. Shulian Sinistea seem to be helpful spirits, freindly specters, or curious ones, for the most part which find themselves homes in old used potion bottles, small jars or other such leftover healing containers which are common to find around the region. Once considered purely trash, the appearance of these pokemon has lead to something of a recycling resurgence with items once used once and then just considered rubbish. Said pokemon seem to have taken to their new forms in way of healing others and trying to help others and are very common in urban areas, though have been known to be found in the wild around areas with lots of young pokemon or where pokemon get hurt often. It was this new behavior that got the attention of the wider pokemon world and with a little research, it was discovered the pokemon in this form had a new typing. It fit well with the skillset and seemed to make a lot of sense, leading to more looking in to similar situations and finding out there are actually a lot of shulian Sinistea and their evolution out there. Some with slightly less helpful sides tend to appear in green tones or dark colors and have shown skills with poisons or irritating herbs whereas some seem to fermet berries and the like, taking on bright colors and twisting shades and seem to have skills in confusing other pokemon or playing pranks. It seems the species has been around, making use of bottles discarded for a very long time, merely hiding under the radar of other pokemon. |

Swarming Pokemon!
Encouraged Characters
Currently, our character numbers are pretty even, so aside from us gently encouraging more civilians and breeders...go nuts!
Numbers of Gijinka on site have dropped, too, so they're open to be applied for at the moment- though, if you're interested, go check out the adoptable threads for many wanted ones! They could always use players! ;-)
