The Pacifist Researcher

Silence, tall grass and no fighting.

Synopsis

You fell from the sky into a land that is afraid of Pokémon. Professor Laventon asks for one thing only: observe.

Everyone in the village takes that to mean 'fight until they obey'. You took it literally.

Your Pokédex is going to be written with patience, fruit and good aim.

Reach the credits of Legends: Arceus without ever starting a battle against a wild Pokémon.

You never throw one of your Pokémon at a wild one to start a battle.
Catch only with a Poké Ball thrown while unseen, or after distracting with food.
If a wild one attacks first, run. Battling to defend yourself is the last resort.
Battles the story forces on you are allowed.
Research tasks that require defeating Pokémon stay blank, and that is fine.

Win: See the credits with a clear conscience.
Loss: Started a battle on impulse: return one Pokémon from your team to the wild.
For a change: Hard mode: never be seen by an alpha.

Up for it? The journal keeps the catches, the team and who fell, with these rules already written down.

Want something else? The roulette draws a new challenge with every spin.
