Here are the specific details of the nine Pokémon groups:
Charizard Group
Leader: A Lv. 64 old Charizard
3 young Charizards
9 Charmeleons
15 Charmanders
The group totals 28, which is considered quite large for a wild Charizard group.
Serperior Group
Leader: A Lv. 70 old Serperior
2 Serperiors
10 Servines
20 Snivys
Overall, this group's strength is higher than the Charizard group due to the longevity of Grass-type Pokémon. The Serperior leader is twice the age of the Charizard leader. However, because Serperior is not a combative species, their experience grows slower, relying more on natural growth over time.
Greninja Group
Leader: A Lv. 57 middle-aged Greninja
2 Greninjas
7 Frogadiers
10 Froakies
This group is only 20 strong, mostly younger Pokémon, likely split from a larger group or migrating/escaping.
The other six groups are roughly similar in situation.
The leaders range from Lv. 50 to Lv. 60, with group sizes typically between 20 and 30.
The largest group is the Gliscor group, totaling 50.
Leader: Lv. 60 Gliscor, middle-ranked in strength among the nine leaders
8 Gliscors
41 Gligars
If Gligars evolved into Gliscors at night with a Razor Fang, many of them would already be eligible to evolve.
Monet also favored the Gardevoir group.
Monet moved dozens of beds into their habitat, ensuring they could sleep comfortably.
March 27th, Alliance Calendar Year 1
A typical morning.
The leader of the Gardevoir group woke from a warm bed.
The first thing he did was lift the covers to check inside.
Good, nothing.
His mischievous daughter had likely gone to the research facility to find that human female again.
This was a constant worry for the Gardevoir leader, who, worth noting, was male.
Since arriving at the breeding base, Gardevoir was content with everything except his daughter's mischief, like sneaking out at night.
"Gallade."
Nearby, Gallade approached, informing him that the Ampharos leader had brought their kids to play.
This was the unique aspect of the Gardevoir group.
Their third-stage Pokémon were both Gardevoir and Gallade, though there was only one Gallade.
For Kirlia to evolve into Gallade, it needed to be male and have a Dawn Stone, which is extremely rare for wild Pokémon.
Seeing a wild Gallade is even rarer than seeing a wild third-stage pseudo-legendary.
"Garde~."
The leader nodded and prepared to welcome the guests.
Normally, he would mobilize the whole group to find his daughter, but the environment here was different.
In such a safe place, there was nothing to worry about. Neighbors would bring her back if they saw her.
Everyone got along well.
Elsewhere
Serperior didn't feel the same.
The first two days on this grassland were pleasant, but then her troubles began.
From the volcanic valley on the left, the old Charizard kept challenging her despite his age. She hated fighting!
From the lake on the right, a young Greninja, instead of courting the beautiful young females in his group, chased after her, an older married lady. Despite numerous talks from the alliance leader, the issue persisted.
If not for her offspring, Serperior wouldn't stay here.
With her strength, she could thrive anywhere. Why suffer here?
"Roar!!"
"Hiss."
Serperior sighed, knowing the old dragon was back.
Sigh.
Monet woke up from her bed, rubbing her disheveled hair.
To her left, she felt the soft Gardevoir. To her right, the hard Rotom.
But her chest felt heavy.
Monet knew her chest's weight, but it wasn't enough to make breathing difficult.
"Ralts, here again?"
"Ralts~"
A soft voice emerged from the covers, revealing a small green head.
Since Monet moved many beds for the Gardevoir group, this little one had become particularly attached to her, treating her like a mother.
Ralts had lost her mother young and saw the gentle Monet as a mother figure.
Children naturally preferred sleeping with a gentle, caring mother, which is why Ralts often snuck into the research facility at night.
Monet slowly got out of bed, changed into her favorite white dress, and put on Gardevoir's crystal necklace.
Half an hour later, she was ready.
In her past life on the Flower Street, Monet had neither the time nor money to dress up, but now she often took Gardevoir and Rotom shopping for pretty clothes.
"How is everything?"
Monet asked the dim screen as she entered the research facility.
The next moment, the screen lit up, revealing Porygon-Z.
"Everything is normal. The survival modes of the nine Pokémon species are largely understood."
"Go on."
Monet sat at her desk, crossing her legs, letting her high heels fall to the floor.
Ralts obediently stayed under the desk, putting the high heels back on Monet's feet.
Watching Monet's legs swing the heels off again, she would put them back on.
Ralts found this quite fun.
"Charizard group is extremely combative, frequently challenging other Pokémon groups but showing restraint."
"Greninja group is the weakest, living modestly in their small territory."
"Serperior group equally looks down on the other eight groups, but the leader is troubled."
"Gliscor and Gengar groups are mischievous pranksters, particularly fond of teasing the Navy squad led by Gion."
"Ampharos and Gardevoir groups are leisurely, enjoying walking and sunbathing on the grassland."
"Alolan Sandslash and Altaria groups are shy and introverted, hesitant to interact with other groups. However, they are actually 'closet extroverts.'"
Porygon-Z, living in the virtual world, could monitor the cameras 24/7 without sleeping.
In just one week, Porygon-Z understood the internal and external dynamics of the nine species, including their habits.
Thanks to Porygon-Z, Monet and Dak identified and corrected hidden dangers and shortcomings in the alliance breeding base.
For example, food.
Originally, Dak thought providing nutritious food on time would suffice.
But he forgot that gathering food was a daily enjoyment for Pokémon.
Also, Pokémon's stomachs differ from humans', digesting food faster. They needed snacks in the afternoon, especially the larger Pokémon.
So, Dak bought various fruit trees from the Miracle Shop to plant in the area.
Hungry Pokémon could pick fruit to eat.
Additionally, Dak installed public facilities for children, like sandpits and slides, giving young Pokémon a place to play.
The alliance breeding base also had caretakers.
Including Miltank, Chansey, Audino, and Kangaskhan, all adept at caring for young ones.
These Pokémon not only had special skills but also decent combat abilities, helping the Navy and Revolutionary Army fend off invaders.
The breeding base had stabilized, needing only time for the groups to grow.
According to Dak and Monet's estimates, the breeding base could house about 500 Pokémon. Currently, including the partners of Navy, Revolutionary Army, and research staff, there were only about 300.
So, even with 500 Pokémon, it wouldn't feel crowded.
But any more could cause crowding, making Pokémon anxious or unhappy.
...
April
In April, new industries emerged in Alliance City.
Morgans opened the "Albatross Society," focusing on delivery, takeout, and newspaper services, employing many with Flying-type Pokémon.

Gan Fall's Flying-type Gym is considered the easiest among the eight gyms to challenge.
This is because the other seven gyms typically require trainers to meet certain strength requirements, but Gan Fall does not.
He reasons that for trainers to reach his high-altitude temple and climb several hundred meters of vines is already challenging enough to limit most trainers, so no additional restrictions are necessary.
The eight gyms officially began accepting challengers about a month ago.
However, Gan Fall had not received any challenges yet.
After some inquiries with Morgans, it turned out that the exact locations of the gyms had not been disclosed. Dak wanted the trainers to venture out and find them on their own.
Gan Fall nodded, understanding the situation.
It was just as well since he planned to train his three Pokémon further.
One was a Gligar he recently received from Dak, a rather antisocial one from the breeding base, at Lv. 18.
The other two were Pokémon Gan Fall had been training for about a month and a half.
One was a Pidgeotto at Lv. 28.
When Pidgey evolved into Pidgeotto, Gan Fall had even shed tears of joy.
The other was a Corvisquire at Lv. 25.
All three were very handsome Pokémon, and Gan Fall particularly liked them.
Initially, Gan Fall accepted the position of Flying-type Gym Leader just to follow the alliance's orders. Now, he genuinely appreciated these Flying-type Pokémon and was on the path to becoming a Flying-type trainer.
"Gym Leader!"
At this moment, a young man in a white uniform ran in from outside.
He was a referee from the Pokémon Alliance, essentially an assistant at the Flying-type Gym.
"What's the matter?"
Gan Fall, who was leisurely sipping tea, had never seen the young man so flustered before.
"A challenger has arrived!"
Business has come! The assistant was extremely excited. Being assigned to this primitive sky island had almost driven him to depression.
For a month, he had nothing to do. His enthusiasm for the job had plummeted, and all his ambitions had been worn down by the mundane life.
But today, he finally had a chance to prove his worth!
Heaven rewards the diligent! "Oh? Open Sesame, lead them to the battle arena."
Gan Fall understood the assistant's excitement and quickly stood up.
He could finally conduct a formal gym battle.
Gan Fall donned his armor, stood before a mirror, and adjusted his appearance.
To be a gym leader, there were certain requirements, such as wearing distinctive attire during gym battles.
Gan Fall thought his old armor was unique enough, so he didn't change it.
For instance, Fukahoshi, the Water-type Gym Leader, didn't need to worry about this requirement because being a merman already made him quite distinctive.
The gym's battlefield was at the top of the vines.
It was a platform that overlooked the entire Skypiea.
Building the battlefield so high showcased the Flying-type Pokémon's characteristics and applied psychological pressure on challengers.
Only trainers who could complete the gym challenge at such heights were deemed worthy of earning the 'Sky Badge'.
This challenge was tougher than those in the Pokémon world.
The only thing it couldn't match was the current gym leaders' overall strength compared to those in the Pokémon world.
In the Pokémon world, any gym leader would at least have Elite Four-level strength, with some even having Champion-level strength.
For example, before Steven retired, Sootopolis Gym Leader Wallace had Champion-level strength.
The challenger soon followed the assistant to the battlefield.
"Impressive, your courage in coming here proves your bravery."
Gan Fall nodded, generously praising the young man opposite him. "I am Gan Fall, the Gym Leader of Skypiea. Defeat me here, and you will earn the 'Sky Badge'."
Gan Fall held a pink feather badge in his hand. The young man opposite him smiled when he saw it.
Of course, by 'defeat', Gan Fall meant through Pokémon battles.
Nowadays, 'battle', 'fight', and 'defeat' on the sea had become synonymous with Pokémon battles.
"I am Trafalgar D. Water Law, an advanced trainer from North Blue, Flevance!"
The young man opposite Gan Fall finally spoke. He was none other than the sixteen-year-old Law.
In this sea, the D. family no longer needed to hide their names.
With the complete downfall of the Celestial Dragons, the special significance of the D. family had faded, and no one cared about the extra letter in their names.
"Oh? An advanced trainer already."
Gan Fall was a bit surprised.
He hadn't expected this young man to already have three Pokémon. He had thought Law was a rookie trainer.
Then, Gan Fall nodded to the referee.
The young referee stepped forward excitedly and loudly explained the battle rules.
"Let me introduce the rules for this battle." "The Skypiea Gym uses a 3v3 format, with no strict requirements for the challenger's level."
"The Gym Leader cannot switch Pokémon randomly, but the challenger is allowed to switch Pokémon during the battle."
"The challenge ends when all three Pokémon on one side lose their ability to battle."
"Now, please send out your first Pokémon!"
Despite his excitement, the young referee performed his job skillfully, having been well-trained by the alliance.
"Hehe, here is my Pokémon, Gligar. Show this young man your vigor."
Gan Fall smiled kindly and released the pink Gligar.
Gligar glared fiercely at the opponent.
This was why Gligar was antisocial. He was too aggressive.
While other Gligars were mischievous but good-natured, this one was aggressive and combative by nature.
"Go, Magnemite!"
Law smiled upon seeing Gligar. It was his first time seeing a Gligar, but knowing it was a Flying-type Gym, he didn't care what it was, as long as it was a Flying-type.
From his research, he knew that Electric/Steel-type Magnemite had a quadruple resistance to Flying-type Pokémon! What can you do against that?! Hahaha!
"."
Gan Fall wiped the sweat from his forehead, puzzled by why the young man suddenly burst into laughter.
Is there something wrong with his head? Gan Fall couldn't understand Law's tactic.
Facing a Ground-type Gligar, Law sent out a Pokémon with a quadruple disadvantage—Magnemite? This move left Gan Fall completely bewildered.
He never expected his first gym battle would involve such a huge mental challenge. Seeing the confident smile on the young man's face, Gan Fall felt there must be some trick he was missing.
In the first battle, Gan Fall fought conservatively.
He found three or four opportunities but hesitated, thinking Law had some hidden strategy.
Meanwhile, Law fought aggressively but was confused.
Why did Electric-type moves have no effect on Gligar?! Why is this happening?!
Unsurprisingly, Magnemite lost. Law, stubborn to the end, refused to switch Pokémon.
He even doubted his information, wondering if this was truly a Flying-type Gym.
"Youth, what is your goal?"
After the first battle, Gan Fall understood.
The young man had no hidden strategy; he simply misunderstood Gligar's type combination.
Flying/Ground is indeed a tricky combination for many Pokémon. This combination was why Gligar stood out among the Flying-types to become one of the Nine Rookies.
"I heard that winning the Alliance Battle Tournament could grant a rare item as a reward?"
Law reluctantly recalled Magnemite and then asked.
"Yes, the winner can choose one rare item from those listed by the alliance."
Gan Fall nodded.
That was indeed the tournament's prize.
"Is there an item that can bring someone back to life?"
"There is."
Gan Fall pondered.
Law was likely referring to the 'Sacred Ash' or 'Revival Herb'.
"So... I must win this."
Law clenched his Poké Ball, a determined look in his eyes. "Second round, go, Houndour."
A Dark/Fire-type Pokémon.
"."
Gan Fall sighed, seeing Law's determination.
With such a mindset, it would be difficult for Law to reach his goal. At least Gan Fall was certain that unless Law's attitude changed, he wouldn't even make it to the Pokémon Battle Tournament.
He might not even pass the next few gyms.
"Youth, you should learn more about Pokémon or get a Pokédex. Gligar is a Flying/Ground-type Pokémon, completely resistant to Electric moves."
As a Gym Leader, Gan Fall had to teach Law a few things.
So he explained Law's mistake.
If Law had used Magnemite against Pidgeotto or Corvisquire, it would have been a great choice. But he used it against Gligar.
Law fell silent upon hearing Gan Fall's words.
"Thank you."
