So you're about to go off and become a pokemon master, Ash style. Who would you hang with and where would you go? Bonus points for posting reasons.

Shouldermon: The one you let be out of its pokeball. Must be feasibly able to rest on your shoulder and remain unevolved.

Companions: Characters you'd travel with

Rival: Can be an actual rival from the games or someone you'd just want to surpass, like an E4 member

Region: Where you'd travel around
