Huzzah! Odlaw and Bee’s Pokemon teams! Now forgive me as I ramble about each choice/the decisions behind the overall team compositions for the two!
Odlaw’s team. They essentially all follow his lead of being mischievous thieves and scheming baddies. I mostly put dark types or mons that had dark typing as one of their types in the case of those with two. Thievul is the most obvious choice, it’s in the name it’s got moustache. Sableye I could see stealing lots of gems and shiny things. Morgrem was just perfect, literally a mischievous little gremlin. Also both of them can have Prankster as an ability and Morgrem can have Frisk or Pickpocket, perfect Pokemon for a thief! Weavile also has Pickpocket as a hidden ability, it’s got vile IN its name, and many Pokédex entries describe it as devious! Stunky is a stinky little guy, gross little creature that I think would fit into the team nicely, and having a dual poison type would add to the good villainous line up! And finally Gimmighoul, which I imagined might be a fun addition since it’s always looking for gold coins. I had a little idea for lore that it only ever tried to steal coins from other Gimmighoul’s chests, but never was successful so it would never be able to evolve fully. I imagine the whole gang always trying and failing to steal from Pokemarts and other trainers but…always failing Team Rocket Style. Also the idea of them occasionally trying to join the evil teams from all the regions and again failing their schemes and plans. (Note to self draw Odlaw in various villainous Pokemon team outfits)
Bee’s team I went with an overall Fairy theme! (Zorua being the exception) Ribombee of course is her Poke sona so of course she’d have one (Also see her often surrounded by a swarm of Cutieflys). Audino was because shes always trying to help out/heal Odlaw, I wanted her team to mostly be a “healer” vibe. Of course thats why I also chose Comfey, which has a healing ability and it’s Pokédex entries say it has healing and calming properties. Togekiss is also one of my fave Pokemon, and can learn healing moves, and just suits Bee’s vibe I think. Mimikyu I chose since it is sort of disguising itself as something else, and considering Bee can chance her shape to disguise and hide too, along with the fairy typing to fit into the overall team, it was just perfect. Finally Zorua, that while a dark type, she’d love and cherish and protect as well as the rest of the team one, and of course the oc that can change shape would have the illusion shape shifting Pokemon too!
I imagine most scenarios play out that Odlaw and his team try to put into motion schemes and cause mayhem and mischief and thievery, but of course don’t get very far and wind up injured and many of his team faint. Bee and her team of course feel bad for them and help patch them up and heal them while gently scolding them for their bad deeds. They don’t really think they will have much luck on changing there ways though, but will always be there when they need help recovering!
Hope everyone enjoyed the yap. I hope to draw more of this au soon, I may try and build some teams for some of my other characters/maybe make Pokesonas for them too! :D
