Inter Milanturn

‎‎
--

Inter Milanturn is a professional Pokébattling club based in Fuchsia, Kanto. It currently competes in the Volcanic League of Kanto and plays home fixtures at the Pin Siro. Managed by Hall of Famer José Nidorinho until 2012 and since then by Roberto Minccino, it is one of the most successful Pokébattling clubs in the world.

## History

One of the most successful clubs domestically, Inter Milanturn won five titles in a row in the 2000s as well as an historic treble under Nidorinho in 2010, winning the league title, the singles knockout cup and the Championship League, beating Bayern Munchlax 6-4 in the final.

The club was owned by Massimo Moraticate until 2012, with whom fans enjoyed a fractious relationship despite the success he brought to the team.

### Faded Glory

Inter Milanturn's fortunes have been in decline in recent years, with fans critical of desperation signings, such as those of Bruxishis Sanchez and Ashley Yungoos from Mantykester United. However, they remain one of the most successful clubs domestically and are looking to address their recent slide through their involvement in the so-called "Elite 4" (along with Bayern Munchlax, Wormadrid and Mantykester United), said to be plotting to breakaway from their leagues to form a cross-continental super league.

The league's two lowest-finishing clubs are relegated to either the Lilycove League, the North-Eastern Islands League of Hoenn, the Southern Islands League, or the Fortree and Northern Combination, depending on their region.

The league's most successful club is the Lilycove Ludicolos, which has three league titles.

During this tumultuous era, the club's historic stadium was the victim of an arson attack ordered by the Superstars' own chairman, who hired a former member of a Salandit Torture Squad to raze the stadium for the insurance money. The Salandit set the stand alight before phoning the chairman, leaving a message on his answering machine stating; "job done", then left his own phone at the scene. Both the chairman and the Salandit were subsequently jailed.

Pallet United

Pallet United is a Pokébattling club from Pallet, Kanto. The club currently competes in the Kanto Higher League, having been promoted from the South Kanto Lower League for the first time in its history.

The club has prospered since the arrival of the Pallet Town Punchbags in the area, as the Punchbags do not themselves battle at a competitive level. Some of the Punchbags' junior players have turned up for Pallet United on a number of occasions, as the club is semi-professional and can register players on a part-time or game-to-game basis. Tranquility played a starring role in the team's play-off campaign, scoring three KOs as the team defeated the Sable City Forestry Commission, champions of the North Kanto Lower League.

The club has enjoyed moderate success on the amateur circuit, winning the Kanto Amateur Association Cup on three occasions.

Pallet United currently plays home games at Pikachu Crescent, although as the stadium only has room for 100 seated fans, the team is in discussion with the Punchbags about a groundshare agreement at Oak Field.
Olympique Lumiose

Olympique Lumiose is a Kalosian Pokébattling club from Lumiose in Kalos, which currently competes in the Suprême Ligue de Kalos. The club is the reigning Kalosian champion, having put an end to the winning streak of seven titles enjoyed by Paras Saint Germain.

Despite being based in the most populous city in the world, the club has struggled to attract large crowds comparative to the other big Kalosian clubs, possibly due to the overabundance of teams in the city.
Latias Airlines

The club play on the grounds of a busy airfield. Flying-type Pokémon have been injured or knocked off course by passing aircraft when battling at the stadium.

IPF Universe

The IPF universe is a parallel dimension, a cross between the real world, the world of Pokémon games and the Pokémon anime world. Its culture, history and events are covered by this wiki.

## Geography

The geography of the IPF Universe is believed to be similar to the world of the Pokémon games, although anime exclusive locations also appear. Previously unknown regions such as Pentre also feature.

## Defining features

The IPF Universe largely revolves around competitive Pokébattling, with a culture and economy built around the sport. Unlike in the world of Pokémon games and anime, the battling is rarely carried out by individual trainers. Instead, most competitors belong to large Pokébattling clubs, similar to real world professional football clubs.

War, social difficulties, corruption and politics also play a major role in the IPF Universe.

## Status of pokemon

Pokemon in the IPF Universe have something akin to an even status with humans in this universe. They have the right to work, vote, own property and run Pokébattling teams.

* The Water Stand is the only roofed structure in the stadium. It hosts VIPs and also contains facilities for competitors
* The Electric Stand is the smallest in the ground and sits behind one end of the field. Relatively flat, it is sometimes used as a stage for theatrical performances and normally sits empty during pokebattling events.
* The Grass Stand is the largest in the stadium and offers the cheapest seats in the venue. It sits opposite the Electric stand.
* The Fire Stand sits opposite the Water stand. A large, strangely shaped structure, it is popular among pokebattling fans.

Lavender Spirit

Lavender Spirit is a Pokébattling club based in Lavender Town, Kanto. They currently compete in the Volcanic League of Kanto.

Despite representing Lavender Town, the club have often been forced into groundshares with other Kanto clubs due to problems with their historic Mausoleum Hills stadium. The stadium was reportedly haunted by faceless spectres who caused fans to feel a cold sense of dread wash over them, although some argued this was simply a result of seeing their beloved team lose 6-0 to Pewter Galaxy one too many times.

Following a visit by a medium, the stadium was declared "100% ghost free" by inspectors.

## Notable Players

* Judy Hench
* Spoopy
Olm Memorial Stadium

The Olm Memorial Stadium is a Pokébattling venue located on Kanto Route 28. Part of the Ferroseed Valley Complex, it is home to Route 28 Rustbuckets 1-P. It has a capacity of 3,000 with 500 seats. The stadium was named in honour of former Rustbuckets development player Olm.

Horace Bodgepot

‎‎
--

Horace Bodgepot is a Feebas from Kanto who competes for the Route 28 Rustbuckets in Season 3 of the Draft League. He was chosen as their final pick.

## History

Horace Bodgepot is an office worker from Fuchsia City who entered an office sweepstake and won entry into a competition to be drafted by the Rustbuckets. He then also won this competition, leaving the Buckets no choice but to draft him.

He has absolutely no interest in Pokébattling, but believes that workplaces run best when colleagues enter into a spirit of joyful camaraderie and bonhomie.

### Winter Wonder Cup

Owing to his popularity, Bodgepot was selected as a member of the Pro Pool for the inaugural Winter Wonder Cup. In the first round, he was assigned to Hot Pinecos where he was the last Pokémon sent out in a 6-1 defeat. Although he failed to take a KO, he went toe to toe with Aurous, surviving a Giga Impact thanks to his use of a Focus Sash before putting his opponent to sleep with Hypnosis. He was later KOd by an opposing Porygon.

## Personal life

Horace wears a bowtie. He enjoys the music of Psyduck and Gligarfunkel and is known to play their best of album on repeat at top volume.

Bodgepot was once nearly killed and eaten by Armin Meowth.

Kanto

Kanto is a nation and region located to the east of Johto and the south of Almia and Fiore. The Orange Islands and Sevii Islands are a part of Kanto, located off its south coast. It is rife with corruption and crime.

Kanto has a very temperate climate. The majority of the country is carpeted with forests and plains. Kanto is mostly dominated by land, but has a large bay in the middle which opens to a sea in the southwest.

In the centre of the country is Kanto's capital and largest city, Celadon. There is a sharp contrast between urban cities and rural towns, with the latter often cited as having been "left behind" by government policy. Kanto has several mountain ranges, which are mostly in northern and western Kanto. Indigo Plateau and Victory Road mountain range divide Kanto from neighbouring Johto.

Although Kanto was formerly covered in forests, over the past two decades the government has initiated a large-scale policy of deforestation, with private companies such as Timberr central in the logging of historic national parks such as Viridian Forest.

## Imperial Legacy

Kanto is one of the only superpowers to maintain dominion over minor powers, including the Orange Islands, the Seafoam Islands  and the Sevii Islands, as well as having a disputed claim over Dragonite Island.
In recent years, several areas have pushed for independence, including the Seafoam Islands and the Orange Islands, but the government and military have acted to suppress this. The Seafoam Liberation Front has been deemed a terrorist organisation in recent years, whilst the Orange Islands Independence Movement operates primarily through Parliamentary politics. The Islands have their own devolved government.
Kanto's militaristic past is still evident in everyday life, with parades commonplace in its capital, Celadon.

## Pokébattling

*See Kanto National Pokébattling Team Volcanic League of Kanto, Kanto Cup, Kanto Higher League*

There is an extensive history of Pokébattling in Kanto, with the nation one of the first to undergo mass professionalisation of its clubs in the late 1980s. It was also the first region to begin international Pokébattling, starting with regular friendly matches against neighbouring Johto. Kanto has more professional clubs than any other nation and is notable for having two national divisions before lower league Pokébattling starts to become regionalised at its third tiers. The Kanto Cup is open to more clubs than any other cup competition in world Pokébattling.

Its most successful clubs are Celadon City and Inter Milanturn.

Mystery Keith

Mystery Keith is the elusive trainer of the Archipelago All-Stars. Very little is known about Mystery, with political opponents of the Orange Islands independence movement accusing head of Orange Government Nicola Qwilfish of having had Mystery "grown in a lab".

During games, Mystery does not appear on the touchline, instead preferring to relay his instructions via video link to his assistant, Mystery Colin (no relation).

According to insider reports, Mystery's trainer methods are robust and forthright, with very little leeway being given for sub-par performances. Following the All-Stars 0-6 loss to Whimsicottonopolis in the Toteodile Series, Mystery was said to have already decided which members of the squad he would be dispensing with at the first transfer opportunity.

## Identity

All-Stars player Duress has posted on his blog that he enjoys games of backgammon with Mystery, but only at weekends, and only if Mystery has had his "weekly sustenance".

As a result of the first game of the second Toteodile Series requiring the All-Stars to team up with Whimsicottonopolis, it is assumed that Defective Pikachu has some insight into Mystery's identity, but as of the start of the third season of the Draft League, Pikachu has refused to make public comment.

### Draft and Preparation

Although Old Leaf Pals had not themselves competed in any IPF tournaments, their trainer, Chiaki, had previously managed Captain Hawlucha and the Squidsters. The Pals had the first overall pick in Season 1 of the Draft League, which they used on Pineapple. The Pals' picks came to a total of 118 points, which meant they had 2 left over to use later in the season. They made the most of this during the supplementary draft, as it allowed them to select Martin.

They played a preseason friendly against the Pallet Town Punchbags, which they drew 5-5 after a hard fought battle.

### Season 1 Results

The Pals' league opener resulted in their first competitive victory as they defeated the Route 28 Rustbuckets 6-3 in a fiery affair. However, they were unable to keep their momentum going against Whimsicottonopolis, losing 6-1 to finish the week second in the table.

In week two the Pals were beaten by the Rustbuckets and Whimsicottonopolis despite acquitting themselves well in the latter game.

In week nine, the Pals were the first team to take points off Whimsicottonopolis, securing a 5-5 draw late in the game.

Haruba Scubas

Haruba Scubas is a Pokébattling team based in Haruba, Almia. They are the only Pokébattling team in the world whose name is ironic: Haruba is a desert town with very little water. The team currently competes in the A League, although it has been relegated more times than any other Almian club. The team plays home games at the Magnificent Oasis.

Fans of rival clubs often taunt Maroon Town, claiming that Beige Town would be a more accurate name for this team, given its almost complete lack of anything noteworthy whatsoever.

Paras Saint Germain

‎‎
--

Paras Saint Germain is a Pokébattling club based in the Saint Germain district of Lumiose, Kalos. It competes in the Suprême Ligue de Kalos and is the most successful club in the region. It shares rivalries with Olympique Lumiose and Stade Lumiose.

The club's home stadium is Parc des Champignon.

## History

The club is said to have gained its name after a lost Paras wandered into an amateur side's clubhouse at half time. The players set upon it as the mushrooms on Paras's back were known at the time to bring good fortune. Consuming the fungus Pokémon may not have won the match for the club, but the hallucinogen effect of the spores united them as teammates, cementing friendships and a mere seven seasons later they won their first league title. For decades the club put on an end of season Paras gala dinner. This tradition has dropped off in recent seasons as pressure from Pokémon rights groups has raised awareness of the cruelty of the trend. However, it is said that board officials continue these rites in secret and that high profile celebrities are only truly welcomed into Kalosian society once they have attended such a dinner.
Martin

‎‎
--

Martin is a Druddigon currently contracted to the Pallet Town Punchbags. He also competed in Season 1 of the Draft League for the Old Leaf Pals. He was selected as their supplementary draft pick after round three of the league schedule.

He made his competitive debut in week four against Whimsicottonopolis and although he dealt a lot of damage to Rambunctious, he was defeated before he could take a KO. He took his first and only KO in Week 9, defeating Spruce Wayne with Dragon Tail.

Despite his flexibility and wide ranging movepool, Martin's form was patchy and he only showed glimmers of talent in Season 1. He will be hoping that a handful of solid performances towards the end of the season are enough to catch the eye of a coach during Season 2, but as a Dragon type he has a lot of competition.

## Known moves

* Glare
* Stealth Rock
* Dragon Tail
* Taunt
* Fire Punch
* Thunder Punch
* Outrage
* Earthquake
* Gunk Shot
* Rock Slide
* Scale Shot

After Season 1, Martin reportedly turned down several professional pokebattling offers from clubs in Hoenn and Sinnoh, preferring to return to the Punchbags.

Hexhaust

This scurrying, leaping Spirit can synthesize a wide range of gaseous chemicals from over thirty raw elements manufactured and stored in its body, including defoliants, insecticides, nerve agents, narcotics, anesthetics or even aphrodisiacs. A single exhalation of its bellows-like jaws can swathe a wide area in a chemical smokescreen.

   Unfortunately, the Hexhaust's physical and mental stability cannot withstand its own volatile contents for long. Literally poisoning itself with every breath, the Spirit descends into erratic, insubordinate and absurd behavior within hours of consciousness, deviating wildly from its orders and often mixing gases inappropriate to the situation, whether by malfunction or maniacal whim. Only when it at last loses consciousness does the Hexhaust's mind and body repair itself. By the time it emerges from its regenerative hibernation, it can no longer recall its irrational behavior and consistently believes that all others present were "the crazy ones."
