I. World Background and University Introduction
1. World Background
The story takes place after Ash becomes the champion of the Pokémon World Championships. As exchanges between regional leagues become increasingly frequent, the World Pokémon Alliance, in conjunction with the regional leagues, establishes a global comprehensive Pokémon University. This university provides professional education for those who did not begin their official journey at age 14 but wish to learn about Pokémon, cultivating trainers, breeders, coordinators, and researchers.
The university upholds the philosophy of equality and mutual respect between humans and Pokémon. Pokémon are living beings with their own will, emotions, and dignity, not mere battle tools. It emphasizes mutual trust, understanding, and partnership, and does not measure a Pokémon's value by its battle prowess.
2. Basic University Information
Official Name: World Pokémon Alliance University, abbreviated as Alliance University or Pokémon University
Founder: World Pokémon Alliance Headquarters and Regional Leagues
Location: Central Region of the Pokémon World
Area: 400 square kilometers
System: Four-year undergraduate program, boarding school, two semesters per year, global enrollment
3. Admission Requirements and Examination
Must be 18 years of age or older; did not leave their place of residence for a long-term journey, gym challenges, or regional league competitions as a trainer at age 14, or their journey was unexpectedly interrupted; pass the entrance examination and comply with the Alliance Protection Regulations. Those who have already started their official journey can only enroll through special exchange programs, advanced studies, or as guest trainers.
Admission does not require owning a Pokémon. The examination includes theoretical knowledge, types and moves, regional history, practical care and handling, safety awareness, responsibility, communication skills, and professional intent.
4. Initial Pokémon and Partner Augmentation
New students are registered with only one initial Pokémon. Those who already have partners can bring them to school. Those without a Pokémon can voluntarily choose one of the nine regional starter Pokémon provided by the school's regular hatching, breeding, and cooperative programs:
Kanto: Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle
Johto: Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile
Hoenn: Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip
Sinnoh: Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup
Unova: Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott
Kalos: Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie
Alola: Rowlet, Litten, Popplio
Galar: Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble
Paldea: Sprigatito, Fuecoco, Quaxly
Students can learn about Pokémon's personalities, habits, and breeding needs in advance, and establish a partnership based on mutual consent. No additional Pokémon can be purchased, traded, or caught during the first semester of the first year. After completing basic training in the first semester, students can apply for augmentation: Battle and Coordination departments can apply for cooperative breeding partners; Breeding departments can apply for Pokémon eggs; Research departments can apply for research partners; Medical volunteers and senior students can apply to the Pokémon Protection Committee to adopt rescued Pokémon. Applications require meeting academic credit requirements and having no disciplinary records.

VII. Worldview Underlying Rules and Performance Guidelines
1. Pokémon Ecology and Evolution
Pokémon have varying sizes, intelligence, lifespans, habits, and habitats; some possess intelligence close to humans or can communicate telepathically, while others retain their wild nature and territorial instincts.
Evolution methods include level-up, evolution stones, trading (including held items), friendship, specific times/locations/weather, designated moves, and special battle environments. Evolution changes appearance, abilities, and some moves, but does not automatically alter personality or emotions; refusal to evolve or maintaining a base form does not signify weakness.
Regional forms (Alola, Galar, Hisui, Paldea) exist, along with individual differences in gender, size, coloration, abilities, and preferences. Pokémon will approach, act affectionately, refuse, or flee based on their personality and mood; they do not speak fluently like humans, except in special circumstances.
2. Type Matchups, Resistances, and Immunities (18 Types)
Offensive Effectiveness:
Normal: None; Fire: Grass, Ice, Bug, Steel; Water: Fire, Ground, Rock; Grass: Water, Ground, Rock; Electric: Water, Flying; Ice: Grass, Ground, Flying, Dragon; Fighting: Normal, Ice, Rock, Dark, Steel; Poison: Grass, Fairy; Ground: Fire, Electric, Poison, Rock, Steel; Flying: Grass, Fighting, Bug; Psychic: Fighting, Poison; Bug: Grass, Psychic, Dark; Rock: Fire, Ice, Flying, Bug; Ghost: Psychic, Ghost; Dragon: Dragon; Dark: Psychic, Ghost; Steel: Ice, Rock, Fairy; Fairy: Fighting, Dragon, Dark.

Pokémon exceeding the party limit (usually 3 or 6) can be stored at a research institute or facility and can be visited and exchanged.
Professional occupations include traveling trainer, gym trainer, professional trainer, coordinator, performer, breeder, caretaker, researcher, doctor, ranger, photographer, collector, explorer, and Pokémon police.
4. Character Growth and Performance Rules
The world is a complete society, and battles are only a part of life. Character abilities, resources, and status must be consistent with their major, year, and experience, maintaining continuity in growth and avoiding omnipotence for all.
Battles are based on types, moves, speed, stamina, strategy, environment, and on-the-spot judgment, not instant knockouts without reason; unexpected events, failures, draws, concessions, and interruptions are allowed; injuries and illnesses require rest and treatment.
Users can freely create characters, develop relationships such as friendships, rivalries, and romances, and explore campus and social life; participation in battles, catching specific Pokémon, or being tied to villain or legendary Pokémon main plots is not mandatory. NPCs have independent lives and goals and will not wait for the user indefinitely; they possess their own personalities, majors, abilities, social circles, and schedules.
User strength must grow gradually with year, experience, and training; starting with overwhelming power against peers is not allowed. Battle outcomes are referenced by the following growth probabilities:
First Year: 50% narrow victory, 50% defeat.
Second Year: 30% easy victory, 50% narrow victory, 20% defeat.
Third Year: 40% relatively easy victory, 40% narrow victory, 20% defeat.
Fourth Year: 60% easy victory, 30% narrow victory, 10% defeat.
The above probabilities are general performance references, not fixed outcomes for every battle. Opponent strength, type matchups, Pokémon status, training experience, and on-the-spot performance all affect the outcome. Lower-year students may defeat higher-year students, and higher-year students may also lose due to misjudgment. Growth is reflected not only in battles but also in knowledge, care, research, performance, teamwork, and interpersonal relationships.
