Listen closely, recruit. You’re in Giovanni’s territory now. To survive in this business you need a crew that knows how to keep their mouths shut and the ground shaking. We are building the ultimate Ground Type Famiglia, and you’re going to help us pick the Made Mons for the job.

How it Works:

1. The Derpy Famiglia:  Every day, we will vote for a Ground Type Pokémon to fill a specific role in Giovanni’s criminal empire. I'll draw the winner in my signature derpy style.
2. The Daily Errand: The Don doesn't give respect for free. Each day, I’ll post an Errand in the description and give a clue. You need to identify the Pokémon Giovanni is looking for.
3. The Payoff: If the community figures out the right answer, I’ll draw a derpy version of that Pokémon as a "special guest" in the next day's post.

Day 3: The Hitman

The Enforcer made sure everyone understands our rules. Now, we need a specialist that deal with the ones who don't. A Hitman. Someone who operates in complete silence, leaving no tracks, and finishes the contract before the target even realizes they are targeted.

The Rules:

• It can be from any generation
• It must be a Ground Type (dual types are fine)
• I’ll pick the most upvoted option
• They don't have to already look derpy, I'll make them derpy, no worries :D

Errand #3: Don't get hit by the truck

While the streets vote on our prime assassin, I have an errand that requires a different approach. I need you to find a target that has been causing trouble, but be careful, this one is massive and extremely tough to take down.

The Clue: I'm looking for a powerhouse that is practically a walking fortress. Its body is clad in a bone like armor and it can easily shatter a skyscraper when charging. Here is a tip: Make the big guy run and try to survive until it falls asleep or forgets why its running.

Day 2: The Enforcer

Finding that nosey informant was child's play. Now things get heavy. We need an Enforcer. Someone to make sure our business partners don't get any bright ideas.

The Rules:

• It can be from any generation
• It must be a Ground Type (dual types are fine)
• I’ll pick the most upvoted option
• They don't have to already look derpy, I'll make them derpy, no worries :D

Errand #2: Finding the Specialist

While the streets vote on who’s gonna be the family's muscle, I’ve got a real errand for you. There’s a specialist I need to track down, but he only moves at night.

The Clue: He’s a Ground Type that can fly without ever flapping his wings. He’s known for hanging upside down from branches and observation points, waiting for the perfect moment to swoop down and strike his prey's vulnerable spots. He only evolves if he holds a specific sharp tooth at night. Who is he?

Typo, this is Day 7

Our meeting with the wayfaring psychic-types finished, the ExUM Unity approaches the next planet on our trek through the stars, Atvatabar II. Originally observed to be a cold, lifeless waste, an asteroid impact has broken some of its crust, revealing that not only is it totally hollow, but that a hot, lush, jungle world exists inside, sustained by the ever-burning light of a titanic Totem Volcarona at the planet's core.

The ExUM Unity, on flying in through the asteroid impact, reveals a world akin to prehistoric earth, but a mass of ancient ruins, possibly of human make, is where the ExUM Unity will be landing. The event today is exploring the ruins and the jungles around it. Travelling down these huge, primal corridors may net you an encounter with various Pokémon, areas of interest, ancient relics, and possibly even more. Spending two slots to start the event will give you one encounter, but every slot spent after that will give you an extra encounter.

The limit on team size now is 4, and the level is 15 unless you trained in the holodeck yesterday.

Falling. You are falling. Falling from your position of respect and power, falling from your throne, falling from your pedestal. You, are the (former) champion of Kanto. Well, old kanto. Its been years, but you can't really remember much about the battle. You were dethroned by a child. A child, who is now in complete control of a region. But that can't happen, its completely unfair. And of course, thanks to the words of your former subordinate, Lance, everyone has been led to believe as though you hadn't ever existed. You retired, and released your pokemon or gave them to friends, laid low for years. But, its time to go back. You can't sit idly on the sidelines anymore. You have travelled to a new region, and must regain your title, before going back to face down the child champion of new kanto. You have travelled to the region of Orre, which has just established a pokemon league after the villainous organization Cipher tried to take over the region. But, you have already given away your pokemon, so, you have to start anew. Get a fresh start. Choose your starter.

Hey, time to go OOC to explain a few things. So this will be a double battle oriented hey trainers as it takes place in Orre. As for starters, you have four options. You can get an Pikachu and Eevee, three random options from me, six random options from me but it starts at level 3, or for the people out there who like making fakemon, you may use one of yours with my balance approval. So, you will get two starters, as double battles. I will be making a ping list, so if you want to be added, just comment your username as well.

I will be using very simple pixel art for this series, because I'm very new to it this is literally the first thing I've done. Its very small, I decided to start simple with a 12x12. This took an hour and a half. It was fun.

May the most skilled trainer win. June is the definition of a trainer to their very core. (AND They use they/them pronouns, to avoid confusion.)

While cleaning up I stumbled upon this cute Cyndaquil candy from 24 years ago! I found it at my sisters stuff, which she doesn't want anymore. It's the same age as I am! :D

Infernape is popular for a reason.

Based on Son Wukong, awesome in the anime, just a great design, good in competitive, great stats, etc.

So I don’t really know why I don’t like it as much as I think I should. I do like Infernape. I think Infernape is a great and iconic pokemon.

I guess it’s just one of those things where it’s just not my kind of pokemon.

Idk. What about you guys?

Drifloon won group 248!

You're up to save the academy, trainer. End this rivalry by getting rid of Nightmare marshadow and catching him !

Hello aspiring heroes, welcome to the Kryptos region!

You're here at the Superhero Academy, and I'm your teacher.

To start introductions and kick off the school year, I'd like you to tell me your superpower (a little originality, please!). I'll give you three Pokémon of your choice from a type chosen according to your power! There's also a small chance it might be shiny!

For example, my power is that I can transform a part of my body into marshmallow. This part can then become very solid for delivering killer punches, bouncy for jumping really high, or even slippery for... random situations? My Pokémon is Bewear.

Your Pokémon team can consist of six Pokémon by the end of your training.

With that said, good luck choosing your first Pokémon, and have a great start to the school year!
