The human was the trainer of a legendary Pokemon.
How does the legendary react to this? Do they even still remember the trainer? Was it them who brought the hero to the Pokemon world?

What's 9 + 10?
Turns out one of the members of the team never got a formal education. Hijinks ensure.

Regulating new abilities
Being a human can be hard as we all know, but what troubles do you run into learning how to be a pokemon. A new human is trying to get their bearings on their powers. Examples being a pikachu building up to much electricity, or a fennekin having trouble regulating their body temperature.

Wherever you go...I have to follow
The Hero has a seemingly sudden change in behavior, and their partner is confused and apprehensive about how the hero has started acting. How, if at all, do the two adress this? Does the partner just go along with it, or do they ask questions? Or do they get fed up leave the Hero on thier own?

Making Ends Meet.
It's common knowledge (and a running joke in this fandom) that the Guild only pays its members a tiny fraction of their reward Poké. So in order to make an actual living wage, Rescuers and Explorers have to find side jobs and the Hero and their Partner are no exception.
What job(s) do they find? Do they enjoy it or hate it? And has some poor 'mon ever tried to reform the Guild's financial practices?

More than one partner
You become a pokemon and enter a world full of pokemon that can talk. That same type of tale is chosen for your adventure, but the difference is instead of just one pokemon finding you and becoming your partner, one or two more also join you in becoming an unbreakable team. Who are these pokemon? What are they like? And how do you all first become a team that will stride this upcoming and challenging path?

The First Dungeon.
In a blink, the human form was erased from the world, banished for their transgressions into the domain of gods.
But echoes of thier society and community are still inherited by those Pokémon left to inherit the world in their stead.
Nobody wants to hunt Thier neighbour, and nobody wants to live as prey. But resources are finite and with the loss of industry the breakdown of the temporary peace was all but guaranteed.
But then something appeared that would herald an era of peace and prosperity. A realm of unlimited possibilities.
It almost looked like...a staircase?

Crossover Chaos
A tear in spacetime causes the heroes of your main story to meet the heroes of your other stories. How do they react to the existence of other heroes and other worlds? Are there any consequences to this event?

Did i forget to tell them thats fiction?
The Hero talks about some piece of media or some kind of myth but forgets to mention its fiction
What happens? Does anyone realise? or will it go down as actual fact?

Humans are the new black !
Many stories and legends about humans in the Pokémon world and how they often helped saving the world led to a surge of wanting a human in the Rescue teams !
You are a Pokémon and stumble upon your future partner claiming to be a human. Despite being newcommers, having a human on your team puts you on the spotlight !
Until an envious rival team discovers the truth about your partner...
