Owl house Pokemon AU bc who doesn't love pokemon! (This is gonna be long sorry y'all)
-Traning pokemon out side of a specific typing is extremely frowned upon outside of if a Pokemon is dual typed with the type you train with
-The students at Hexside are all still new pokemon trainers so they only have one or two pokemon
-The school offers a program to match students with their pokemon, most students gain them through either this method or their parents, catching them in the wild is frowned on for everyone but specific trainers chosen by the emperor
-These trainers, members of the Emperors league, along with being the ones who supply pokemon to schools/wealthy families are the only ones allowed to have what ever type they want on their teams
-The first two or so pokemon given to a trainer tend to be single type (at least in their starting evolution) and then 3 onwards they can start dual typing
Luz:
-Comes from a region where there are no pokemon
-When Luz arrived in the boiling isles she found her partner (already taboo), an Eevee and was basically assigned normal type (they didn't think she'd be able to train it past it's starting evolution)
-But she quickly decides to break the mold after taking on a rowlet (another wild catch lol), everyone was like ".....ok... we'll ignore ur method of getting that but we guess u gotta evolve ur Eevee into a leafeon" and she said "lol nah it'll evolve into what it's ment to evolve to💕" (hint, it's an Eevee....with a dark side >:3)
-She starts getting her friends to consider taking on a new type outside of the one they focus on
Eevee
Rowlet
Eda:
-Fully fledged and self proclaimed pokemon master who trains any type of pokemon she wants
-Takes Luz under her wing and lets her stay with her just like in cannon, she helps Luz train to be an accomplished multi type trainer
-When she attended Hexside she was a flying type trainer, so her oldest few pokemon are flying types
-She is wanted by the emperor for not only chosing to train any type of pokemon but also because she found a legendary pokemon when she was young that chose to be her partner
Noctowl (her first pokemon)
Noivern
Zapdos
Centiskotch
Kabutops
Dusknoir
(most of these could be swapped with what ever but I tried to pick pokemon I felt could match her aesthetic somewhat)
-King is a talking Cubone and isn't apart of her actual team
Willow:
-Her Dads wanted her to be a poison trainer but she always had a knack for grass types so they tried to ease her into poison with a dual type out the gate
-In an effort to make her dads happy she focused really hard on the poison aspect of her Pokemon (bulbasaur) but it backfired bc it's primarily a grass type, due to this she hasn't received a second pokemon yet (and is bullied for that)
-Since moving to grass typing her bulbasaur and her have become much stronger and even is one of the first students to have her Pokemon evolve
-With this confidence she takes on her next pokemon, but due to her experience with jumping types she isn't jumping at the bit to train outside of the grass type despite Luzs insistence
Ivysaur
Seedot
Amity
-Her mom is a ghost type trainer, while her dad is a poison type trainer, she decided on poison but wants to have a mastery over all sorts of types, and idolizes the Emperors league
-She is one of the first to get her third pokemon in her year
-She likes to go to pokemon nurseries and help out, she tries to learn all she can about all types of pokemon while there
-Seeing Luz do what she wished she could do right away made her biter and caused an early rivalry, but over time Luzs kind heart and insistence that Amity didn't need to be traped in a box lead her to developing feelings
Nidoran
Gastly
Toxel
(at Luzs encouragement she's planning to find a fire type pokemon next)
(I picked Rowlet and nidoran specifically due to missorangeBP over on Twitters own pokemon AU y'all should go look at her stuff it's so cute)
