You can just encounter them now. Once they are discovered you can just find them, except for rare Pokemon.
Edit: Let me correct myself. You can find the uncommon Pokemon mostly whenever you want. The other time you do need something like Headbutt or an item to fulfill that requirement, but it is repeatable.
The Sentret for a moment looked surprised before it realized the situation it was in, getting into a fighting stance. Well, there was not much that a Sentret could actually do in the face of an electric spider shooting out webs made of crackling electricity. The Sentret was able to land a single Scratch against Evelyn's Joltik, but it was only for a small amount of damage. However, with a throw of her Pokeball the Sentret was absorbed into it in a beam of red light and the ball landed on the ground. It began to shake.
It rolled once...
It rolled twice...
It rolled thrice!
Evelyn caught a Sentret!

Meanwhile in another part of the park, Jason and Slayer were busy jumping a bird. Actually, the Pidgey was actually quite aware what was happening as it seemed ready to battle as if it had something to prove thought it was not like it could do anything to avoid Slayer's Disarming Voice since it bypassed accuracy checks. A beam of heart shaped sound waves hit the bird, sending it tumbling back before it threw its weight forward and tackled the bird. When Slayer used Double Team, the Pidgey seemed unperturbed by the copies that surrounded it. In fact, it was looking directly at the real Ralts before it tackled the Ralts again.
Perhaps seeing that Slayer was losing, Jason would throw a Pokeball and once the murder bird was absorbed into the ball via a beam of red light it shook on the ground.
It rolled once...
It rolled twice...
It rolled thrice!
Jason caught a Pidgey!

All players at the park would walk around and look for more Pokemon and more information on any Pokemon they could find here or within the surrounding area. Occasionally they would see little orange dogs with black marks and cream-colored tuffs of fur wander around or lie around shaded spots underneath the trees.
#058-Growlithe, the Puppy Pokemon. It has a brave and trustworthy nature. It fearlessly stands up to bigger and stronger foes. It's very friendly and faithful to people.
Sometimes another Pokemon appeared, a little green bulb with three leaves protruding from their heads and red little eyes. They were simply being, bathing in the sun of this spring day. How these things moved around when they lacked the limbs to do so? The world may never know.
#548-Petilil, the Bulb Pokemon. The leaves on its head grow right back even if they fall out. These bitter leaves refresh those who eat them. If the leaves on its head are pruned with regularity, this Pokémon can be grown into a fine plump shape.
As for the information they found out, this was what they found.
"Anything rare? Well, I've heard that there is this blue fox Pokemon that lives here, but no one has ever gotten a good look; it runs off before we can figure it out what it is. It's almost as if it can sense us approaching."
"You know the lake here in the park? Despite what you may think, it's actually a natural lake and we built around it. It's filled with water types though there is one that is eluding the local fisherman. Speaking of fisherman, there is one that hangs around the pier that seems to bemoan the fact that there aren't kids picking up fishing these days. He could be someone worth talking to."
"Have you challenged the Pokemon Trainer School's gauntlet? I heard that if you are able to beat it then you get a random Pokemon egg from the principle. You're gonna need at least three Pokemon before you are allowed to challenge them."
"Have you heard about this gremlin that's been rummaging through the trashcans and dumpsters? It's a bit of a public nuisance since it leaves a heck of a mess and it's been causing problems with some of the restaurants."
"Ugh! I don't know about Pokemon, but lately the power just goes out in my apartment complex, and no one knows why! Why am paying rent for a studio that only has power half the time?!"
"It's creepy, but occasionally I hear something make a crying sound when I am near a manhole cover."
"There's a guy selling some Pokemon for dirt cheap at the port. Seems shady to me, but it's above board apparently."
"If you're willing travel out to Route 1, I heard that the ranchers are willing to part some of their Pokemon for a price or even a favor. A couple of them are having some troubles though with what I can't say."
"Route 4 has had some spottings of some blue little lizard deep in the river, but there's also just some weird stuff if you go around exploring the ruins there. Gives me a bad vibe to be honest."
Located on the north east of Evig facing the water, Grand Glory is quickly becoming one of the most populated cities within the region. The skyline is littered with buildings clawing at the sky though as one gets away from the center of the city they find themselves moving towards the suburbs. Once a haven for those displaced during the Cipher Crises, it is now a bustling center of trade and commerce thus the nickname, 'The City of New Beginnings'. Though because of the constantly increasing population there is always a demand for schools and housing and because of that there is always construction. It's one of the few constants of life within this city. That and that there are lots of Pokemon.
Despite being a newer city, there is much to offer. It has the first newly established Trainer's School in the region, and it has a small park where trainers can catch Pokemon. There were others before, but they were destroyed during the Cipher Crisis and many were left closed due to a lack of new trainers afraid to embark on their own journeys. The Grand Glory Port has a marketplace with goods from all over the world and ferries. Of course, the League Administration's headquarters is located here and contains the lab of the young Pokemon Professor Kapoc.

And David decided to just send it by throwing a Pokeball, critically catching the bird.
David caught a Pidgey!
Gender: ♂ Type: Normal/Flying Personality: (Up to player.) Quirks/Talents/Aspirations/Other: (Up to player.) Level: 4 Moves: Tackle, Sand Attack Ability: Big Pecks Its defense cannot be lowered. Held Item: HP and Status: Currently at high HP
New Pokémon caught! David earned 750P!
Anyway! Onto the tour of Grand Glory City's wonderous sites! Albeit they were missing a party member of one
As they walked and being a bit more observative, they would see more of the Pokemon that would inhabit the urban areas of the city. In the alleyways there were these cats. One of them was a purple cat with cream patches of fur and these strange violet markings above its eyes. They looked adorable, and yet there were mischievous looks in their eyes as if they waited for you to let your guard down.
#509-Purloin, the Devious Pokemon. It steals things from people just to amuse itself with their frustration. Opponents that get drawn in by its adorable behavior come away with stinging scratches from its claws and stinging pride from its laughter.
Then there were these other cats that just... they just stared into the void. These things with gray fur with white tuffs of fur on its ears and paws, their pale purple eyes with their darker purple pupils just looked off into something that we could not comprehend.
#677-Espurr, the Restraint Pokemon. It keeps its ears covered to prevent the intense psychic power in its body from escaping, but it falls unconscious if this power builds too much. Behind an Espurr's expressionless face is a frantic struggle to contain psychic power.
Around the areas with construction were these bipedal light grayish blue things that were lifting up heavy materials with three brown fins on their heads. What was odder was that no one was telling them what to do, but in fact, they didn't really seem to be doing tasks. Were... were they there just to do weightlifting?
#066-Machop, the Superpower Pokemon. Always brimming with power, it passes time by lifting boulders. Doing so makes it even stronger.
And thanks to Regan looking for rarer Pokemon, which included information, the group found out the following information.
"Anything rare? Well, I've heard that there is this blue fox Pokemon that lives here, but no one has ever gotten a good look; it runs off before we can figure it out what it is. It's almost as if it can sense us approaching."
"You know the lake here in the park? Despite what you may think, it's actually a natural lake and we built around it.

After a little bit the group would arrive at stop one of Faye's photographic tour! It was a white marble fountain of impressive stature gushing with water. At the very top of the statues were two wolf-like Pokemon, one wielding a shield and one a sword. Beyond that it really was just a normal fountain. It wasn't some sort of historical landmark given how young the city was, but it was an appealing landmark. It did seem like a symbol of strength, the perseverance and grit of a region under siege by wannabe usurpers.
Well, it's not like they had an actual tour guide. It really was only just a fountain. Once Faye did whatever she did to set up her photo, maybe getting David and Regan in the photo as her stand-in models or simply took a photo of the scenery she would notice that there was something off about her photos. Something very pink photobombed her photo.
A bipedal pink doglike Pokemon stood on the edge of the fountain, it looked as if it wore a pink smock with a light blue collar and had blue dots evenly spaced apart. However, it had a matching blue bow on one of its ears.
#209-Snubbull, the Fairy Pokemon. In truth, it is a cowardly Pokémon. It growls eagerly in order to hide its fear from its opponent.
It certainly did not look like a wild Pokemon, but where was its owner?

This was just bullying. Literally nothing could actually hurt Dusk because everything was so low level that they only knew normal type moves. So, Dusk was unleashed upon the poor masses of wild Pokemon, burning them with its spectral hellfire with the cute smile on its face. Steph has become death, the destroyer of early game Pokemon.
Dusk is now level 7!
Well, after leaving destruction in her wake she would see some other Pokemon that the city had to offer.
In the alleyways there were these cats. One of them was a purple cat with cream patches of fur and these strange violet markings above its eyes. They looked adorable, and yet there were mischievous looks in their eyes as if they waited for you to let your guard down.

While watching for Pokemon, she also kept her ears peeled to hear about anything interesting. This was what she heard.
"Anything rare? Well, I've heard that there is this blue fox Pokemon that lives here, but no one has ever gotten a good look; it runs off before we can figure it out what it is. It's almost as if it can sense us approaching."
"You know the lake here in the park? Despite what you may think, it's actually a natural lake and we built around it.

However, all of that eavesdropping made her even hungrier, and she certainly found food truck selling something called a shawarma with the caption 'Highest Quality Synthetic Meat'. The one that manned the food truck was a man with very heavy facial hair and not just his thick black mustache waxed heavily and looked like it was ready to fly off his face, but his eyebrows were thick and droopy, obscuring his eyes and yet, he was very, very bald. Shiningly so.
He looked at her with a gruff look, or at least what she thought was a gruff look because it was hard to tell what kind of face he was making underneath that glorious mustache and eyebrows. There were only three things on the menu: shawarma, shawarma combo meal, and a various list of beverages so technically more than three. She was not even given a chance to put in an order; he had a knowing look of how hungry she was and made her order for her.
She was given a box filled the pita wrap fill meat, tomatoes, cucumbers, and various different colored sauces and a pile of fries, or chips as she most likely called them, on the side. As she ate her lunch, she made her way down to the port. The towering buildings that made up the skyline slowly became smaller, humbler the further away from the city center. As foot traffic and vehicular traffic dwindled, so did the noise. One got the feel that this was where people actually lived, at least people who made a more realistic living. Eventually, she arrived at a clearing where she could see the sea.
An expanse of water, cobblestoned streets, and blue collared workers and travelers selling their wares or resting from their journey.
Walking around, one would find massive cargo ships and stalls filled with goods from all over the world. Some of the stalls were not of any interest to any beginning trainers unless it relates to their own personal interests, but there were plenty of stalls with various items that would certainly catch a trainer's eye. That is if they knew what they were looking for. For example, there was a stall selling fishing equipment.
Besides this, there were also various bars and restaurants with outdoor seating where patrons were enjoying the cool ocean breeze and other shops in a place where people consider to be the square. There were people battling Pokemon with people who have a bit more interest than normal circling them.
There was also an incredibly shady man yelling from a stall, "Folks do I have a deal for you! I have in my possession a rare and super powerful Pokemon that I am generous parting for a mere 500 dollars! It's a deal of a lifetime!"
Flying around and perched on various places was this species that was common to find in harbors and docks all over the region.
#278-Wingull, the Seagull Pokemon. It makes its nest on sheer cliffs. Riding the sea breeze, it glides up into the expansive skies. It soars on updrafts without flapping its wings. It makes a nest on sheer cliffs at the sea's edge.
However, a Wingull took great interest in the box of takeout that Steph munched on, especially the fries. It swooped down in an attempt to steal the takeout from her!

Archie threw his Pokeball with as much strength as a ten-year-old could muster at the purse snatcher. With perfect aim and precision it...! It flew past the thief's head. The thief laughed as he ran and said, "Nice try brats, but it doesn't pay to-!" The Pokeball that the aspiring hero threw was still on the ground and the fool wasn't watching where he was going, so his foot stepped on the metal sphere and slipped backwards. Essentially, Archie rolled an 8 and this man rolled a flat 1. Task failed successfully?
This gave the two fledgling trainers a chance to catch as the thief scrambled to get back onto his feet though in a panic, he sprinted to the closest alleyway only to meet a dead end in the form of a tall chain link fence.
The sleezy looking man heaved with a heavy breath as he turned around and looked at the two kids that no doubt caught up to him. "Oh give me a break... Alright, you wanna play hero? Don't go crying when you lose."
He threw out two Pokeballs and in a flash of white light out came a strange little bipedal round cactus with sunken eyes and a hippo with a primarily dark brown body with other patches of brown and tan in some sort of cameo pattern.
#331-Cacnea, the Cactus Pokemon. It prefers harsh environments, such as deserts. It can survive for 30 days on water stored in its body. Its yellow flowers bloom once a year.
#449-Hippopotas, the Hippo Pokemon. It shuts its nostrils tight, then travels through sand as if walking. It shrouds itself in sand to ward off germs.
The holes from the Hippoptas suddenly erupted with sand, whipping through the air ferociously. The Cacnea seemed to have a reaction to the sand, its body started glowing with a sandy beige color as if empowered by the sudden weather change.
Your Rotom phones hovered in front of you and said the following:
Hippopotas' Sand Stream ability has created a Sandstorm! The Sandstorm has activated Cacnea's Sand Veil ability! Cacnea's evasion has increased!
The battlefield is a narrow alleyway, making it a difficult place to battle as there is little room to dodge in a single battle context let alone a double battle. You two have the faster Pokemon, so you move first. How do you react?
Everything was so heavy. His armor caused his body to slag and the swings of his glaive were becoming slower, the effort to even hold onto it was becoming too much of an effort. Fatigue was beginning to steal his vision away from him as the battlefield began to turn into obscured moved shapes and noise.
What was going on? Why were they screaming? Something about the boats?
Rodin breathed haggardly desperately trying to regain his bearings. How many of these monsters did he kill? How broken was his body, enduring blow after blow, and how much longer would he have to endure? If there was a hell, then this was certainly it.
And yet, even in this hell light shone through though he dared not to hold out hope for darkness the likes he never dared to dream about challenged it. A darkness blacker than ink and fouler than any corner of darkness within the hearts of man. Who the hell would hold out hope in this situation? Even if the Patriarch won, it did not mean that they would win the war. The army was weakened and even the old man would not come out of the battle with the demon king unscathed. They were still most likely going to die, so why bother?
"Even until the end you're still pathetic..." The half-elf muttered to himself.
Rodin forced his body to move forward, his grip on his weapon tightened. He swung his weapon at his foes as he attempted to, screaming his voice hoarse while he fought against fate.
Please, for once in my life, let something I do matter! The half elf gritted his teeth while he cut his way through to just be another body against the Demon King.
We never had PvP happen, not because it was frowned upon, but because it just didn't happen. However! In this case when the levels are the same and there is no type advantage, this is a relatively even fight so I will be rolling to see if either player succeeds. For example, if someone attacks and you try to dodge, I will roll for the attack and for the dodge. Whoever has the higher roll will succeed. Secondary effects of moves that require a roll will also be decided by me.
The alternative is you guys decide on a winner and then act out the battle to that determined outcome. Both are acceptable.
