Driftveil United

Driftveil United is a Pokébattling club based in Driftveil, Unova. They currently compete in Major League Pokébattling. The team has one Unovan title to its name.

## Fan culture

The club have a longrunning rivalry with neighbouring club Driftveil Earthquakes.

The word "United" being incorporated into the club's name has proved controversial in Unova, and a target of mockery from opposition fans, particularly those belonging to clubs with more conventional names, such as the Humilau Resort All-Stars or the Fantabulous Floccesy Florists. The club has attempted to explain this on their website, which states that 'Driftveil is a modern, international city that embraces all its citizens, creating an inclusive fan base that is progressive and passionate. A fan base that becomes one voice. We all gather together and stand United.'

Almia

Almia is a small landlocked country sandwiched between Kalos to its west, Sinnoh to the north, Fiore to its east and Johto to the south. It also shares a small portion of its southern border with Kanto, though this is mountainous and largely impassable.

Like Orre, Almia has a prominent desert, the Haruba Desert, which accounts for a large proportion of its territory. However unlike Orre, the country also has a abundance of grasslands and plains as well as several urban areas, such as its capital city, Puel. Over the centuries Almia has suffered from its lack of coastline as well as from wars between its larger neighbours, which have prohibited growth and trade. It remains friendly with its neighbour, Fiore, which with it shares a significant amount of culture.

## Pokébattling

*See Almia National Pokébattling Team, A League*

Despite its lack of Pokébattling history, Almia maintains a professional league system, the A League. Though not as strong as the eight superpowers, the A League is growing and its member clubs are often winners of the Lesser Regions Cup. Almia was recently admitted to the World Cup, qualifying from the group stage with a surprise win over three-times champions, Hoenn.

Grace

‎‎
--

Grace is a Shaymin who plays for Sinnoh. She was selected in the squad for the 2020 World Cup.

At club level, she competes with Eterna City FC in the Sinnoh Coronet League.

## Known Moves

* Healing Wish
* Air Slash

## Trivia

Grace came under fire in the Sinnohese press after opting to use Healing Wish in Sinnoh's final group game of the 2020 World Cup against the Pokémon's Republic of Azalea Town. This meant the Republic would get at least a bonus point from the game, and that Sinnoh could not qualify from the group even with a win. Dispirited, the team went on to lose the match to the minnows from South Johto.
Beach Face

‎‎
--

Beach Face is a Sandslash who competed in Season 1 and 2 of the Draft League for the Route 28 Rustbuckets. She was selected as their supplementary draft pick after round three of the league schedule. Coincidentally, she was selected in exactly the same way the following season.

## History

Beach Face made her Draft League debut in week four against Whimsicottonopolis and achieved her first KO later in the same week against the Old Leaf Pals, as her Stealth Rock finished off RIP 189.

Beach Face was the first Pokémon to join the Rustbuckets during the season and was fairly clearly the best transfer Topa made throughout Season 1. She patched up the squad's Electric-type weakness and provided important defensive utility. She also surprised critics by taking seven KOs in her eleven games. At only four points, she will consider her season a great success and will have her claws crossed to be in contention for reselection in a future season.

### Winter Wonder Cup

Beach Face was selected as a member of the Pro Pool for the inaugural Winter Wonder Cup. In the first round, she was assigned to St Minun but was not selected in their squad.

## Known moves

* Rock Slide
* Rapid Spin
* Stealth Rock
* Knock Off
* Earthquake
* Tectonic Rage

## Trivia

Beach Face was initially contracted to the Pallet Town Punchbags, after being selected by an IPF committee as a training ambassador and was one of the first pokémon to be assigned to a training team in IPF history. She was one of the first Pokémon to make a move to a full-time franchise, moving just after Martin during the supplementary draft.

As a Sandshrew, she competed in the Magnet Youth League with Goldenrod Athletic Club.

Football

Football is a media franchise and digital sport played across the world. Popularised in the early 90s by games such as *Football Red, Football Blue* and *Football Yellow*, the premise of the game involves capturing virtual humans and forcing them to participate in ball games against their will. These slave players are often horifically maimed or suffer societal abuse as a result of their participation. Once they retire, they are normally abandoned or stored in a mysterious "PC System"; a term believed to be a euphemism for death.

While video games, movies, TV shows and other products associated with the sport are extremely popular among children, the game itself is rarely played, widely considered the preserve of oddballs and sadists.

With only two performances it is difficult to evaluate Beatnik's season, but he did extremely well in both games and was certainly good value at two points.

## Known moves

* Tail Glow
* Baton Pass
* Encore
* U-Turn

## Personal life

Beatnik has a passion for the hit TV show Friends as well as Tupperware. He combines his two loves by collecting Tupperware used on set and is active on Facebook in trying to procure such rare items.

Faraway Resort Arena

The Faraway Resort Arena is a pokébattling stadium situated on Faraway Island in Hoenn. Owned by Silph, to date it has not hosted any competitive events, although it was a key component of a failed bid to host Wonder League All Star matches on the island.

The stadium is a whopping 45,000 all-seater, by far the biggest of its kind anywhere in the world.

## Controversies

### Wonder League host bidding scandal

Then IPF chairman Dwile Flonking was heavily implicated in the Wonder League Season 2 All Star game bidding process when The Daily Whismur broke the news that he accepted a massive bung to support the bid, despite the inaccessible nature of the island and its lack of experience as a host. This may not have been the event that led to his resignation from the IPF, but it will surely have played on the mind of the court during his later trial. Environmental rights group Grasstype issued a statement condemning Flonking: "You wouldn't host matches on Seafoam, would you? Why have Silph and Flonking despoiled the otherwise idyllic Faraway Island with this half-baked and frankly witless scheme?" Flonking retorted that the (few remaining) people of Seafoam would be grateful for his intervention on the archipelago.

### Pokémon rights abuses

Reports have suggested that up to 150 Machokes lost their lives during stadium construction. Injury rates are yet to be released to the public. The issue was highlighted by Mountain Dew who refused to perform at a promotional event at the arena.

She made her Draft League debut in Week 1 of Season 2 against the Old Leaf Pals but was immediately KO'd by Tohru's Fire Fang. She had to wait until Week 2 to get her first KO, as her Bullet Punch technique proved too much for Good Boy.

When authorities arrived, they found Meowth preparing to submerge Bodgepot's lifeless form into a vat of scalding water.

## Aftermath

Bodgepot initially laughed the incident off as a misunderstanding, but became enraged and called for the full force of the law to be applied when he discovered Meowth had planned to eat him with a glass of red wine. "Fish go better with white, any philistine should know that," he stormed.

Goldenrod Athletic Club

‎‎
--

The Goldenrod Athletic Club is a youth sports organisation based in Goldenrod, Johto. It is notable for fielding teams in a variety of Pokésports. They compete in pokebattling at development level, taking part in the Magnet Youth League.

## History

The club was established by Aipom Silverstein in an effort to provide healthy diversions for troubled inner city pokemon. The city was overrun by orphan Pokémon engaging in crime and antisocial behaviour and senior community figures called for action following a Snubbull-incited riot.

The origin of these Pokémon was believed to be a daycare centre on the southside of the city. Local media reports suggested the proprietors were breeding Pokémon without a license and giving surplus eggs away to passing trainers who discarded many Pokémon soon after they hatched.

Silverstein's Athletic Club proved extremely popular, especially with young Pokémon wishing to pursue a career in the Draft League. Based at the Goldenrod Municipal Stadium, the club runs teams in Pokébattling, racing, boxing and watersports as well as the hugely popular Pokémon Rounders.

## Pokebattling

The Athletic Club's Pokébattling team competes at development level, participating in the Magnet Youth League and One Point Cup. The team is coached by former Mantykester United player Teddi Ursingham, who led them to a third place finish in the most recent league season.

Notable graduates of their Pokébattling team include Bourneville and Beach Face. The club are also a key source of youth talent for Goldenrod clubs Goldenrod Golden Knights, Ilex Forest Shrine and JBC Battle Club, all of whom lack academy systems, preferring instead to offer funding and support for GAC.

### One Point Cup

The Athletic Club were invited to compete in the inaugural One Point Cup and were amongst the pre-tournament favourites. They reached the semi finals, where they were eliminated by Naganadel Clobbopus Eight.

#### Roster

While the Athletic Club works with a wide range of young athletes, the six selected for the first edition of the One Point Cup were:

* Billy Cadet
* Schnappi
* Smug Boy Vee
* Tektonik

Buck is an Alolan Raichu who competed for the Route 28 Rustbuckets in Season 1 and 2 of the Draft League. He joined the team as an additional transfer in week eight of Season 1, replacing Thorny Issue, and was redrafted in Season 2 as the team's 9th overall pick.

## History

Buck made his league debut in week eight, but was knocked out by Hank Scorpio after inexplicably attempting to set up using Nasty Plot.

Buck scored his first KO in week nine, taking down RIP 189 using Psychic.

He played almost every game he was eligible for, indicating Topa had serious faith in him, but he may have failed to repay that somewhat, with only one career KO to date.

During Season 2, he was redrafted as the Rustbuckets' ninth pick. He made a single appearance in the Toteodile Series followed by two league appearances without making a KO. Following Topa's departure, he found himself out of favour under new boss José Nidorinho and was soon waived.

He subsequently followed Topa to Olivine Luminescence.

## History

Bloumphe made one appearance in preseason for the All-Stars, participating in a doubles match during the Toteodile Series. He was part of the concerted team effort that saw his team defeat Big Andy alongside Glubber and Silverback of Whimsicottonopolis, though his move selection was criticised in the press for lacking a long-game plan.

He had to wait until Week 4 to make his Draft League debut, appearing against the Route 28 Rustbuckets, but failing to make an impact as he was only brought into the game late on, by which point Pixie Nott had set up a series of Calm Minds.

Cinnabar Roar

Cinnabar Roar is a Pokébattling team representing Cinnabar Island in Kanto. The team currently competes in the Kanto Higher League.

Historically the club punched above its weight, finishing as runners up in the Volcanic League of Kanto as recently as 2015, and winning the Kanto Cup on two occasions. However, the club has more recently fallen on hard times. Following the eruption of Cinnabar Volcano, their home ground was destroyed and they were forced to play home matches nearly a hundred miles away in Fuchsia City.

Blaine is said to be looking into funding the construction of a new ground for the team on what remains of the Cinnabar mainland.

## Notable Players

* Carybdis
Cape Colosseum

Crossgate United

Crossgate United is a Hoennese Pokébattling club from Crossgate. It is set to compete in the League of Western Hoenn for the first time in its history, having achieved promotion from the Petalburg and District League. The club will play its home games in nearby Littleroot, in a groundshare arrangement with Littleroot Town, as its own ground, the Crossgate Pokéringer Club, is deemed unsuitable by the Hoenn Battle Institute.

Crossgate is one of the smallest towns in Hoenn ever to have hosted second tier Pokébattling.
Grotton

Grotton is a coastal gambling resort located in Greater Hammerlocke in Galar. Grotton is a suburb of Hammerlocke, notorious for its gambling, nightlife, fine dining, entertainment and shopping. Its name has become synonymous with excess and overindulgence and its bills itself as the "Entertainment Capital of the World".

Grotton's mega game corners feature everything from slots to Voltorb Flip and Pokéroulette.

The town is home to Pokébattling team AS Monferno.

The coasting gambling resort of Grotton is not to be confused with the Hoennese County and Borough of the same name and different location, nor is it to be confused with the fictional village of Grotton which has the same name and is also in a similar location. Additionally, it should not be confused with the city of Groton which shares a similar name but different location. Finally, it should not be confused with the sleepy suburban village of Grotton which has the same name but is based in an entirely different location.

Grotton does not have a zoo or an aquarium, nor does it have a butchers, a bakers or a Litwick makers.

Gardenia Heritage

Gardenia Heritage is a Kantonian Pokébattling team which competes in the Kanto Higher League. It has typically yo-yo'd between the Higher League and the Volcanic League. It has more Higher League titles than any other club.

The club's policy of only employing Pokémon native to Kanto is reflected in its name. The club hierarchy and fans believe in traditionalism, with a focus on direct Pokébattling tactics and a tendency to eschew developments in Technical Machine technology as well as rejecting new items such as Heavy-Duty Boots. This is often cited as a reason for the club's failure to make an impact in the Volcanic League.

The pair have released a series of singles in addition to their presenting work.

Nowadays it is commonplace to see NFE Pokébattlers at the elite level.
