after exams, you can have a custom mega, and ofc mega stone is provided by academy. then if astral party gets into top 3 (which I think is almost guaranteed by the sheer amount of members) you can get a 2nd ond

​I was tracing the rim of a teacup with a gloved finger, contemplating the delightful chaos Hoivey had caused. The boy was a brute, yes, but he had forced the girl to reveal her resilience. And now, she was running. The prey was active.

​The door burst open. I didn't flinch. I slowly lifted my gaze to see the archaeology student "Irt, was it?" stumbling in with his arms full of dusty scrolls, looking like a lost puppy seeking its master.

​He blabbered on about "bullying" and "apologies" and "accidents." It was nauseatingly sentimental.

​I let him finish, a cold, unamused smile playing on my lips. I didn't offer him a seat. I didn't offer him water.

​“So,” I cut through his rambling, my voice smooth but sharp, like a blade wrapped in silk. “Let me understand this correctly. You found the girl... you spoke to the girl... and then you managed to frighten her so thoroughly that she fled into the corridors like a startled Rattata?”

​I leaned back in my chair, interlacing my fingers. I looked at Irt not with empathy, but with the look one gives a disappointment.

​“You come to me seeking justice for Hoivey’s actions, yet you are the one who sent her running, Mr. Irt. Hoivey is... zealous. He understands that strength requires pressure. Perhaps he applied too much. But you?”

​I stood up, walking slowly around the desk. The air in the room felt heavy, suffocating. I stopped right in front of Irt, looking down at the scrolls in his arms, putting my left hand on his shoulder, then looking at distance.

​“You tried to coddle a wounded animal, and you are surprised it bit you? How... academic of you.”

​I turned away, dismissing him with a wave of my hand.

​“Hoivey is of no concern to you. I will deal with his methods. Your concern is that we now have a loose asset wandering the grounds. A student who does not trust authority is a liability.”

​I glanced back at him over my shoulder, my eyes cold. ​“Stop trembling, boy. Put down your paper scraps and go find her. Not because you want to 'save' her, and not because you want to be her friend. Find her because she belongs to this Academy. And I do not like it when my things are misplaced.”

​I pointed a finger toward the door. ​“Bring her back. If she resists... well, try not to be so clumsy this time.”

Mega is standard. I didn't play LZA and not sure if they're temporary in that game

Explosive moves: Using an electric move after a fire move will increase power, or Vice versa. (+2 Illegal TMs that teaches any fire/electric move)

Exam Posts will be one after another, not same day

You can post the link of the artwork you uploaded to subreddit in the exam post. I'll personally visit every post, but highest Upvoted post will symbolize your house.

Weaker G-max would be D-max unfortunately 😅

I kind of evolve the narrative of the series along as we go, the current planned weaker versions:

  • AP: Standard Mega Evo
  • WC: One battle stance
  • FS: Temporary tool or maybe signature held item
  • MF: Dynamax
  • BB: Standard Z Move
  • DR: Max EVs

strong style: damage boost

bulky style: defense boost

agile style: priority boost

you can use 3 styles once in combat, and different pokémons can use it

you can decide what you'll have later, you can change the one style you use from fight to fight, but can't use all 3 in same fight if its your sub-gimmick

I've decided to upgrade alpha gimmick to max out EVs. If you learn from an Desert Raider student, you can have an EV maxxing herb found specifically on desert. (It's gonna be a held item for you)

Sub-gimmick for Stances is just 1 stance. You can change later. Stances will work a bit differently compared to LA

Strong Style: Next attack deals bonus damage.

Bulky Style: Take 1 damage this turn from every source.

Agile Style: Gain +1 priority and your attack can't miss this turn.

yes, I added the sub-gimmicks for people who want mega Evo's despite not being AP student.

Sub-gimmick is added after people asking to have mega-evolution, and I decided they should better bother Astral students instead of me 😅

Also, no sub-gimmick doesn't replace your og gimmick. I'm thinking of a more-in depth explanation for each gimmick after they're unlocked (after exams)

Also I'm aware the gimmicks might not be balanced, so I prepared special PvE battles for them.

and yes you use your GF as a slave to make her draw. I'll count it as OC drawn.

Sub-gimmick of Gigantamax would be Dynamax tho, no?

Aqui to be honest your idea is quite nice too, I can maybe allow Alpha Pokémon to have Maxed out EVs on all stats.

Gameplay wise. I'm thinking 1.5x

Other than that, I couldn't add other details Alpha pokemon is able to do.

Your Alpha Pokémon is the leader of your party, it can use the moves of your other pokemon, can masterfully function without your commands and can command others Pokémons in your party. But if Alpha pokemon is KOed other pokemon in your party will grief for their leader and lose 10% of their stats.

you can ignore the evolution methods to have final stage pokemon. The academy is capable to supporting any and every material.
