For the Power Trio I was planning I was thinking of this:
Gordon would be the intelligent and stoic one who can come up with strategies right on the spot and wreck havoc but is more comfortable with coming up with strategies rather than performing them. He also wants to keep Froh in check, considering him a liabilty to the rest of the team. He, like his younger half brother John, is a member of the resistance.
Froh on the other hand, is a complete dumbass with a Horrible Judge of Character who wants to join Artemis and Scolipede and be brainwashed by them. He constantly brings misfourtune to others via a series of unfortunate events caused by his stupidity or by informing Artemis and Scolipede of how nice this little unnoticed resistance town is and he believes he's working for the good guys the entire time. However, he ends up being his ememy's greatest ally by constantly being a Spanner in the Works to Artemis and Scolipede. He considers Gordon his archnemisis despite the fact that he posses absolutely no threat to him.
John is Gordon's younger half-brother who is of middle intelligence and is constantly trying to bring peace between Gordon and Froh, though he's not that good at it. Kind and very protective of his brother and friends, he is the brawn to his older brother's brain. He also has a child-like demeanor and is prone to Leeroy Jenkins tendancies. Like his older half brother Gordon, he's a member of the resistance.
Or maybe I should just drop the idea, even though it would be pretty funny.

I'm having to learn to pay the priceOkay I think my SS team (since I apparently was using some random Pidgeys last time I played so I could trade the Crown Beasts over for their Berries) was Ninetales, Meganium, Noctowl, Ampharos, Red Gyarados, and an empty slot for whatever I was training at the time.
What should I fill that with? An Eeveelution, maybe? It has to come from Johto.
Good idea Wolf!
As for the rest of my AU!Arc team. Elvis will be an Expy of Michelle an maybe a few traits of MGMT thrown in but falls on the more "evil" part of the Trickster spectrum, Napoleon would be a big brawny guy with amazing charisma and persuasion skills (from his Namesake) who is supportive and is possibly in cahoots with Artemis and Scolipede for their tyrannical political system (His ambition though, is to overthrow them both and seize ultimate power for himself), Antonio is a cheery, bubbly fellow with no clue about what's going on, Cuddlekins is a Team Mom who cares about her team members and works for the Resistance and is cautious about Napoleon's ambitious plans, Stella is a Jerk with a Heart of Jerk at first and could care less about the enslaved or the resistance as it doesn't affect her and Yaminokame is a Genki Girl who is pro resistance and would supply information to them if she had the chance.
As for the Backup Team. They could care less as long as they can fight.
...
Considering all of this, I wouldn't be surprised if AU!Fool is aligned with Artemis and Scolipede, or at least a Double Agent.

I'm having to learn to pay the priceNo. AU!Fool is a daughter of wealthy family who was born and raised in Dewford Town in Hoenn before moving to Undella Town in Unova. Yaminokame the Frosslass and Stella the Skarmory being her first Pokemon in this case.

I'm having to learn to pay the priceThen the reason she's working with them is that she's a stuck-up, Rich Bitch princess, which juxtaposes your generally sweet-natured character when you were raised in the wild.
Yeah that could work.
AU!Fool is a Bitch in Sheep's Clothing more than full on Rich Bitch. She has to keep up an act to get some resistance members on her side before she goes "I never really was on your side" and backstabs them.
I'm having to learn to pay the priceHow strong will the evil presence be in Goldenrod and its surroundings? I plan to develop AU!Silent there if I stay for that arc.
Also, feeling sorry that the summons idea didn't work out... read quite awesome when we first examined it...

To be more exact, according to Wolf their authority will be known, but not much has changed for the most part for those outside of Unova.
This is also making me think that RP!Tagg should travel to Sinnoh again at some point during the AU arc, if just to settle a score with that Galactic Admin.
On another note, it's funny that the Adamant Orb is a dodecahedron, as that's the shape the universe is supposed to be according to current scientific models.
Hugging a Vanillite will give you frostbite.I was thinking a little more about what to do about Ribbons, and I had an idea:
What if Caitlin never left Sinnoh in the AU arc?
Ribbons would be a Gothorita living with Caitlin's psychic type Pokémon, and would have a vague feeling that something is missing, which would make her wish to go to Unova for some reason.
Speaking of Sinnoh, I imagine that someone (possibly Cynthia) would probably be trying to investigate the mysterious disappearances of Sinnoh's legendary Pokémon.
Okay, I've solidified AU!Crewe's backstory. Yay.
Though it does depend on one thing—at what point in the past did Artemis and Scolipede take over?
On an unrelated note, I'm leaving for camp on Sunday and will be gone for two weeks at the least. If our beach house has no Internet, then four weeks.

Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!I still am curious... mechanically speaking, how are the legendaries imprisoned? Primal Dialga is in no state to build a prison, after all.
Oh... AU!Silent is still immune to poison, right? Potential for a fun No-Sell on PEFeDOS's Deadly Nidotoxin, there.

Since RP!Crewe gave up training before reaching Mahogany Town, she'll have Hermes the Furret and Ashes the Quilava, but will have released the rest of her team.
And I think I'll give her the Scyther and Rapidash I had in my first Platinum run and say she inherited them from her dad.
And give the uncle she's staying with the dead 'mons from my current Nuzlocke. Well, the important ones, since there are 10 in total, one of them is a HM slave, and three of them weren't on the team very long at all.
Victory! Honor! Destiny! Mutton!
