Team Idea - Pokemon

In a new region, we introduce the opposing team of the protagonist rather early in a similar fashion to Team Plasma. They are called Team Eden, or something along the religious lines.

They're a church. They stage protests outside of gyms, due to their religious belief being that pokemon battles are abusive to the pokemon. They genuinely care for pokemon, but don't see how much pokemon genuinely enjoy the competition and how much good it does for a trainer and pokemon's bond.

They worship the region's legendary, say the duo of "box legendaries" are themed around Peace and Violence. The design inspiration for the Peaceful is a dove and the Violent, an eagle.

They cause minor and major inconveniences throughout the game, getting braver with their peaceful protests. From holding a rally in the park to sitting in front of a gym until people can't get in at all. But as the protagonist continues on their journey, they get to the Peaceful.

As a final effort to preserve their views, the Head of the Church challenges you to a battle. Their team is made of friendship-evolved pokemon.

When you beat them, they realize. You can't have peace without violence, and violence will lead to peace. Pokemon battles aren't inherently bad, and they've misunderstood. In fact, while there are lines to be drawn with battles, pokemon seem to even enjoy them.

They allow you to catch the legendary, and while they lose some members, they begin preaching this new understanding. This new appreciation for all things trainer-related. Their new goal is to help train their pokemon and anyone willing to battle. They open their doors and become known as the Battle Cathedral. Your Battle Facility for post-game :)

I will be designing these, but I'll take any feedback or ideas! Hit me up! Don't forget, keep rocking <3
