Introducing two new fanmade Pokémon that will appear in my story.
[Crudol], the Crude Oil Pokémon, is a Water/Fire type.
[Gaso], the Natural Gas Pokémon, is a Poison/Flying type.
Crudol and Gaso are commonly sighted in the Unova Region, though they actually originate from a place known as "The Distant Lands". Gaso is the natural counterpart to Crudol, and the two are almost always discovered together in their natural environment. Trainers often describe naturally found Crudol as wearing a perfume made of Gaso.
Crudol is highly flammable. By burning its own fluid body, it can produce massive quantities of thermal energy and electricity. Since Unova is a global hub for heavy industry, transportation, and technology, Crudol is a high-in-demand resource. The Unova Champion has officially endorsed Pokémon Trainers to mass-capture Crudol for production purposes, even if it requires hunting them in other regions.
Gaso lacks physical substance and moves rapidly through the air, so there have been no recorded instances of Trainers catching one with a Pokéball. However, they can be transported through specialized suction tubes. Because Gaso cannot produce as much energy as Crudol, Trainers often over-capture Crudol and leave the Gaso behind. This has created many "widowed" Gaso.
It is rumored that these widowed Pokémon are forming large swarms to strike back against the Unova government in an attempt to reclaim their lost partners. The Gaso gang has formed a military alliance with "The Distant Lands" to battle the Unova Government, hoping to free Crudol from the hands of the Unova Pokémon Trainers.
Unova Trainers frequently use "The Strait" to enter and leave "The Distant Lands". To cope with the ongoing conflict, "The Distant Lands" has recently closed "The Strait" to prevent Trainers from leaving, ensuring that Crudol can be preserved within the region.
Happy April Fools, everyone!
