Ok so I just had a dumb idea g or a dungeon crawler carl Au based in the PokƩmon universe. The only Thing I have is Carl's team and how crawl works in this story. So here Carl team
Donut is a Glameow why a Glameow over an Alolan Persain because Glameow just give of the sassy energy that Donut emitts. Also I think glameow just deserves more love
Next up Mongo as a Archen kind of obvious as it's the closest thing to a Mongoliensis i could think of
Raul: Kingler nothing special just a Kingler
Jamal: My favorite pick because of the mental image of a Garchop being a clumsy mess of a PokƩmon that caught by accident and just can't get ripped of
Rend: He was the hardest one to figure out because we'll there is no real meat ball looking PokƩmon So I picked Munchlax.
Shi Maria: Is an Ariados Shi Maria is constantly trying to get Carl to let her eat the other members of the party.
Penelope: Nunma because I think it would be funny that Carl when he sleeps he just hearing her say Feed me splouge some nights.
Scolopendra: A scolipede that is way to affectionate towards Carl.
Ferdinand and Simoom: This Dork is a Litten that is always riding a top his loyal buddy Simoom A Rhyhorn that he found as baby and the two are are to separate just like Donut and Mongo
Biggs: A Goomy that Carl found as an Egg. She also has an ax no one knows where she got she just has it
Doomday scenario: A massiver Electrode with an Explosive personality
I know the standard PokƩmon team are mainly six but image he switched some members out for others depending on the situation that they find themselves in
As for the Crawl it's a massive tournament. That happens every few years. It takes places on an archipelago of eighteen artificial Island each one having a different theme depending on who was funding the islands each season. The island like the floors will collapse after a while and there are a limited amount of tickets to get on boats off each island and the tickets become few and few with each island that sinks.
Carl joined the Crawl as a way to make quick cash as he just broke up with his girlfriend Stole her cat and is now Raises his half brother that he just learned about. Also because You can't have Carl without a talking Donut Carl can understand PokƩmon similar to that of N from black and white. But unlike N Carl hates it because none of his team knows how to shut up and it makes him look like a crazy person from time to time.
Outside of that I don't have anything else to work with. If anyone wants to add on to this please do so let's have fun with this
