This is what I was able to get thus far, Im not sure of my team yet but I have two drafts for them being Blastoise, Gyrados, and Empoleon (my personal dream team lol) or Vaporeon, Waillord and either Kingdra or Gyrados. I just dont want to make a too OP team for a game that should have some growth lol.
EDIT: @RisingRobin I finished my sheet and Ill leave it for deliberation. Im really happy with how my team turned out. Also if we have this team do we only have these for the duration of the game or could we have backups later? Like would we have a box at the pokecenter with more than what we have?

Full Name:
Silas Mangrove
Age:
23
Year at the Institute:
Third
Favorite Color:
Light Blue
Thesis Subject:
Benthic-Pelagic Habitat Transitions in Aquatic Pokémon: Investigating the evolutionary shifts of Pokémon between seafloor (benthic) and open water (pelagic) habitats, and the associated convergent phenotypes and diversification patterns.
Personality:
Silas is a calm and observant individual, known for his patient demeanor and deep appreciation for the complexities of aquatic ecosystems. He approaches his research with a genuine sense of wonder and respect for the diverse adaptations of Water-type Pokémon. He can sometimes get lost in thought, appearing distant as he ponders the intricate currents of nature, but is genuinely friendly and approachable once engaged in conversation, especially if the topic is his research or the wonders of the sea. While methodical and meticulous in his studies, he also possesses a deep sense of adventure, always eager to explore new coastlines and uncover the secrets hidden beneath the waves.
Bio:
Silas grew up in a vibrant seaside town along the Sinnoh coast, where the rhythmic crashing of waves was the constant soundtrack of his childhood. From an early age, he was captivated by the sheer diversity of life thriving in the ocean – the graceful movements of Finneon, the intricate social structures of Corphish, and the raw power of the larger marine Pokémon. Unlike other children who dreamed of battling powerful trainers, Silas spent his days observing the intricate dance of life beneath the surface, trying to understand how these Pokémon thrived in such a dynamic environment. His parents, both involved in maritime research (his father studied ocean currents, his mother marine botany), instilled in him a deep respect for the ocean's delicate balance and the importance of scientific inquiry. They encouraged his curiosity, providing him with field guides and basic equipment, and his childhood was filled with explorations of tidal pools and snorkeling adventures along the shore.
As Silas entered his teenage years, his fascination with Water-type Pokémon evolved into a focused scientific pursuit. He began documenting their various adaptations, studying the effects of different water temperatures and currents on their behavior, and even experimenting with sustainable ways to protect vulnerable marine habitats. He realized that the world of Water-type Pokémon was a vast and largely unexplored territory, full of mysteries waiting to be unraveled. He yearned to contribute to the understanding of these amazing creatures and their crucial role in the global ecosystem.
This unwavering passion led him to apply to the Laventon Institute. He submitted a compelling paper outlining his interest in the adaptive behaviors of Water-type Pokémon and the influence of their aquatic environments on their development and abilities. The Institute, known for its rigorous standards and dedication to fostering groundbreaking research, recognized the potential in Silas's specialized focus and accepted him. He knew this was the place where he could immerse himself in his passion, utilize the Institute's resources, and make a meaningful impact on the understanding and conservation of Water-type Pokémon. Silas's thesis specifically delves into the evolutionary transitions of aquatic Pokémon between benthic (seafloor) and pelagic (open water) habitats. This involves examining how species shift between these environments, the similar characteristics they develop (convergent phenotypes), and how these habitat transitions influence the emergence of new species and their diversification patterns.

Quirks:
• Silas can spend hours staring at the ocean, mesmerized by the ebb and flow of the tides, and often makes analogies to the ocean's currents when explaining complex theories.
• He has a collection of unique seashells and smooth pebbles from every coastline he's visited for his research.
• He's surprisingly adept at knot-tying, a skill he picked up from local fishermen during his coastal upbringing.

Pokémon:
• Wailord – Silas’ second Pokemon, was found on a fishing expedition. Despite it’s size it still thinks that it is the same size as it’s Wailmer form and thus tries to jump in his lap often…this has led to some near disasters on the open sea.
• Gyrados – This was the first Pokemon Silas’ caught. Silas caught Magikarp for his dreams of super cool and intimidating Gyrados, however, after its evolution Gyrados turned out to be extremely passive and almost fearful. Silas ended up loving this unexpected change and has never taken him off the team.
• Lanturn – The most recent addition, Lanturn was chosen to help him during his deep sea dives in which he was successful, however, due to its abysmal attention span it often will get distracted by its own light and try and wander off leaving Silas in the dark.
