## Founding of Team Sting

Team Sting was founded by a group of fast friends who, among many others, were contacted at random to lend their aid to a mysterious stranger. While assisting this unknown individual who contacted them through their Pokedexes, the four decided to form a team to put their well rounded skills to use. They founded Team Sting, a motley group designed to aid the populace with their combat prowess and provide anyone the chance to become stronger, for a price.

## Team Structure

As neither member of the newly found team saw themselves as the leader-type besides Jack (who the other 3 vetoed), the team was created with 4 corps. Each corps is headed by one of the founding members, and are described below.

* Assault Corps: Led by Mia, members of this corps specialize in offense. They prioritize battling and their main goal on missions is to take out high priority targets quickly. Full contact battlers will find this corps a good fit for them but even those that battle by league rules can find they fit the role nicely as well.

* Security Corps: Led by Adette, this corps’ primary function is defense of the base from exterior threats. On missions, the goal of this corps is to be our organization’s shield, protecting our allies from harm. Anyone with techniques to heal or defend allies is a great fit for this corps.

* Hunter Corps: Led by Jack, those with a drive to find rare Pokemon can help others in the Hunter Corps. Take on bounties and join in group hunts to help trainers make their dream team. Additional Pokemon can be trained at our facilities and offered up for compensation to help others strengthen their teams and build on their knowledge of Pokemon.

* Enhancement Corps: Led by Primrose, the members of this corps strengths lie outside of combat, strengthening Pokemon and trainer alike. Of course, these members can certainly directly assist in missions as well. Whether a Researcher or Mentor, if your goal is to make Pokemon stronger through more than just training, the Enhancement Corps is for you!

## Goals

While some of Team Sting is a mercenary group designed to assist with dangerous missions, the team's main goal is to further the development of both Pokemon and their trainers. They hunt down wanted Pokemon to provide to trainers, provide training grounds to assist with powering up your Pokemon, and provide mentors ready to give your Pokemon the edge they need to compete. Team Sting hopes to be the first name you think of when you need a boost, be it for the Pokemon league or the defense of the populace.

## Location

Team Sting is located in an easy to access location in southern Sanctuary, you'll know the building when you see it as it is brightly colored and prominently displays the team logo, a flexing red hulk with a large stinger coming from its face, above the entrance.

## Affiliated Locations

* **Mia's Treehouse**: A little ways into the swamps of Disma there is a large mangrove tree. What sets this tree apart from the others besides is size is its humorous shape, the tree appears to have quite the bodacious booty, and Mia immediately chose it to be her forward base of operations. If you find this tree, you'll notice several poison type Pokemon hard at work to produce materials for Mia's creations. Within the branches of the tree lies her treehouse, but the Pokemon will not let just anyone enter. If you do stop by, please watch your step as there is a vat of industrial chemicals sunken into the soft earth of the swamp by the tree, where Mia type shifts Pokemon to be poison types.
* **Adette's Farm**: A small rented bit of farmland on Pampa with a small cozy house built next to it. A few Apricorn trees are growing on the property and Adette can be seen tending to them alongside a few groups of Falinks. Out front, a small stand can be seen with a sign that reads "**Adette's Old Fashioned Country Balls**." A Galarian Darumaka wearing a strange hat is sitting at the stand and can be heard barking orders or complaining about the heat as the others work. Strangely, you understand its words as it's speaking Common(?). It seems Adette sells Apricorn Ball +'s here (more info can be found on Adette's wiki page or in the Market Place Bulletin channel of the discord).
