- Bidoof hero sees a river, goes "absolutely not", and builds a dam.

- Golett hero has innate urge to line up boulders for no apparent reason.

- Bagon hero keeps throwing themselves from cliffs with reckless abandon, so partner commissions a landing pad.

- Misdreavus hero keeps getting into trouble for scaring people.

humans are weak creatures in a world that is hostile to them. any pokemon old enough to know about what humans were like often blame them for the state of the world. as a result, humans don't live with others of their kind and are often sent away to live on their own, to avoid groups of them getting killed at once. it is only a matter of time before the last human dies and the species becomes extinct.

the hero in the dark future was one such human, sent away by their ailing parents to live alone. a chance encounter allowed the human to meet grovyle, the one pokemon who longed to change the dark world they'd inherited.

the human and grovyle had lost everything dear to them, bonding over their shared grief. perhaps, the human thought, if the sun could shine again, the few humans left living in the world of the past could finally have a chance to survive.

Some PMD worldbuilding, because I want to know where them gummis,berries and seeds come from Effects of Reviver seed plant (and flavor):

ingesting flower or seed gives you recover from fainting (mildly sweet),

ingesting the leaves or steam also recover from faint status, but also give temporal increase stats/strentgh (bitter with sweet aftertaste)

Revive seed plant is pretty valued in PMD for its abilities to resurrect a fainted pokemon (as a seed mostly) , as well its leaves giving some stat boost and treating sick pokemon.

Thus, the plant is pretty much farmed along with Oran berries and status-curing berries, and as adverse event, the rival plant laughing kissweed (or Jynx's kissweed) was culled out in favor of reviver seeds. the Kissweed is a deliriant doesn't help either, so additionally it was an anti-poisoning measure.

some agriculture mons were clueless and/or careless about comtamination of reviver samples with seeds those of laughing kissweed, thus, Reviser seed plant is born.

The reviser seed plant effects:

Unlike it's natural variant, laughing kissweed, not a deliriant, but more of psychoactive agent (still neurotoxic),

Ingesting flower, stem or seed causes involuntary muscle contractions (mostly those diaphragm and facial), causing victim to involuntarily laughter, before the energy gets rapidly depleted. (moderately sweet),

ingesting leaves causes you to see (both audio and visual) hallucinations, hypoventilation, dry mouth and droopiness. Overdosing possibly can make you enter respiratory arrest (very sweet with disgustingly bitter aftertaste)

*1: more than one partner character, even though I know that idea has been done to death already.

*2: the guildmaster of the guild the characters are in being a drampa who refers to all of his guild members as his kids, and going ballistic if any of them are hurt or lost in a dungeon and going to get them himself.
