This is an interest check for an idea for a Pokemon RP that I've had for awhile. Any critiques or suggestions for the plot/setting are much appreciated.
Something has gone very, very wrong.
In the region of Aynor, things have always been relatively peaceful. A calm and serene forest-based island, Aynor has seen little of violence or gangs, and prides itself on its dedicated Pokemon trainers. However, as of late things have begun to go amiss.
Trainers, breeders, and rangers alike have been noting strange behavior in both wild and domesticated Pokemon. What starts off as irritability and physical symptoms similar to that of a flu, quickly spirals out of control. Pokemon become vicious, rabid, and even turn on their own trainers. The few medical centers Aynor has have been working nonstop to discover what has been causing this sudden shift in Pokemon, and if it can be treated. As of yet they have learned little, and every day more and more Pokemon exhibit signs of falling to this illness.
Rumors of what the potential cause could be are spreading like wildfire. Some say that it's a secret organization that hopes to drive Pokemon to extinction, others say that it's caused by a corrupted Legendary Pokemon, and there are even some who believe that this is simply Pokemon revealing their true nature, and that humans never should've interferred with them in the first place. Though, as of now, none of these claims have been backed by any solid evidence.
Professor Larch - the regions top Pokemon specialist - has taken it upon himself to treat this situation as it presents: an epidemic, and is eager to find the cause. As such he's rallied together a few Pokemon trainers, rangers, and breeders whose companions have yet to be inflicted with the pathogen to help him uncover what exactly is causing this outbreak, and to, of course, stop it by any means possible. But can it be done, or is this a hopeless endeavor?
Aynor itself is a heavily forested island, with trees and bush becoming more and more dense as you move inland. There are some small towns that live in the thick of these woods, namely the towns of Woodham, Lochby, and Norbush. These towns are fairly small and consist mostly of wood-cutters and their mills, given that the woodland area is so dense, many trainers come to these towns in the hopes of catching Pokemon on the nearby routes. However with the recent epidemic less and less trainers are moving inland from the coastal cities, and these tiny towns see less and less outsiders.
The coasts are where you will find most of Aynor's major cities. On the eastern peninsula you have Aynor's largest city - Lorfort. With over two hundred people living in this city it is ripe with activity at every time of the day. The city of Lorfort is where Professor Larch has set up base, and where most of the studies into the sudden illness are taking place. The city itself spirals up a cliff over the ocean, with most of the population living near the bottom of the cliff, with the government being organized at the top.
On the Western coast you have two rival cities - Brightshore and Byley, both sporting over one hundred residents each. No one knows what sparked the rivalry between the two cities, although it's clear that their animosity runs deep. Brightshore is more or less a trading city, and oversees the exports and imports for the region. Byley on the other hand is located over an iron ore mine, and as such much of the city works in the mines with the help of steel Pokemon.
A couple of islands outside of Aynor (but still in the region) of note are the islands of Nailis and Bellbron. The ship ride to Nailis is less than an hour, and it is the most widely recognized island outside of Aynor. The population of the island is just over thirty, and most of the people there work as fishermen. It once used to be a tourist destination, but interest slowed after a boat of tourists leaving the island were attacked by a Gyarados. This led to fear in the natives of Aynor, and most have decided to stick to their own land.
Bellborn on the other hand is an enigma. While it's estimated that there's about fifteen to twenty people living on the island, no one has ever confirmed this. This is due to local superstition that Bellborn is haunted. Some claim to have been there and returned, no one can really say for sure. All that is known is that sailors who go near the island feel an intense, primal urge to turn around and go back home.

---------------------------------------
This roleplay would primarily be focused around our characters, the aforementioned Pokemon trainers/rangers/breeders, and their journey to figure out exactly what is causing this outbreak. Characters would be able to start off with a team of 1-6 Pokemon, though given the rapid rate that the pathegon is progressing it's likely that some members of the team would eventually succumb to the illness. Given that Aynor is a made-up region, Pokemon from various other regions can be found here, so any Pokemon (with the exception of Legendaries) could be owned by player characters.
The Geography of the Aynor Region
The region of Aynor is, in actuality, a series of islands, the largest being the region's name-sake Aynor. The smaller islands, while being home to both Pokemon and humans like, are relatively uninhibited, and frequently ignored by those on the main island. This has caused some animosity to arise between those who inhibit these islands, and those whole live on Aynor.The Geography of the Aynor Region
