Culture
Greetings in Crescent are made with a wave of a hand, usually the right. Men are introduced before women, and pokégirls are introduced last, if at all. Pokégirls are almost always ignored when doing their jobs, except when they are needed for a task. Should a pokégirl work in a service job, they are given a flat wage and tips are discouraged. Spider type pokégirls have been looked down upon, ever since the first Widow event in 43 AS. There have only been two other events of Widows occurring in Crescent since then, and the league government does not consider Arachnae a major threat.
When it comes to family lives, these can vary greatly. Usually, a family household will have one father and an average of two mothers, each having at least one son or daughter from each. Pokékits can be found within homes, but this is not very common. If a human thresholds, they are usually sold to a league ranch, privately sold/traded, or, in some cases, kept within the home until they become of age to be sold to a pet owner/tamer. Children with bloodgifts/bloodcurses are usually treated no different from children who do not have these pokétraits. Purebloods are treated like nobles and are usually sheltered from the rest of the public. Pureblooded woman are encouraged by the league to have as many children as they can using donated Pureblood sperm, even going as far as to funding these women for every child they have.
What separates the Governor/Governess “nobility” from the nobility of the Pre-Sukebe Era is that fact that there bloodline is not “pure”. All the Governors/Governesses have some pokégirl blood in them, though some will try to say otherwise. Many of the Governors/Governesses will have multiple partners, and when it comes to owning pokégirls, past the Tamer’s limit.
League Holidays
Liberation Day: May 15th: Adopted 35 AS
Liberation Day is a Crescent League holiday that celebrates the death of Sukebe, which the Crescent government considers the major turning point in the Revenge War. Large parties are held and in some small settlements, all business will shut down for the entire day, save for an emergency. The parties can range from cookouts to three day festivals.
Formation Day: July 20th: Adopted 8 AS
Formation Day is Crescent League holiday that celebrates the league’s unification. Festivals are held all over the league and many businesses will close to partake in the celebration. Carnivals are set up suited for humans and pokégirls of all ages.
Saint Lucretia’s Day: August 3rd: Adopted 43 AS
Saint Lucretia Day is a Crescent League holiday that serves as a memorial day for the pokégirl soldier Lucretia. Lucretia was a Tick-Tock who was part of the League Extermination Force sent to kill the first ever recorded incident of a Widow. With what looked like an impossible task for the group, the Tick-Tock used her breed’s exclusive move, Time Stop, and Teleported the Widow and herself away from the area. The only hint to her Tamer of where Lucretia said she and the Widow were going was, “A place that she can’t hurt anyone ever again.” After the Teleportation, the Widow and the Tick-Tock were never seen or heard from again.
On this day, it is customary to wear all black or funeral clothes. Churches of the Thousand Gods in Crescent who are in large settlements will give services all day and into the evening, since this day is their busiest day of the year.
Yule: December 25th: Adopted 110 AS
Yule is a holiday in which the Church of the Thousand Gods has a large influence over. Gift giving and parties are usually done during this time and candlelit masses are held in the churches. In some sections of Crescent, the celebration will continue until the New Year celebration.
New Year: December 31st to January 1st: Adopted 8 AS
New Year is a time of celebrating all that has happened the previous year and what will happen in the coming year. Many settlements in Crescent do things differently, but the most common element is remembering the good times and planning for what the future may bring.
History
-14 AS/1988 AD – Jim Sukotto, AKA Sukebe, develops several new types of technology.
-12 AS/1990 AD – Reporter Linda McKenzie breaks the news about the Frankenstein Scientist.
-11 AS/1991 AD – Odd reports of humanoid monsters appearing in remote areas hit the tabloids.
(Crescent) New England and Southeastern Canada residents do not have much reaction to this and consider it a hoax.
-10 AS/1992 AD – Sukebe's War begins at the US/Canada border. Typhonna is unleashed in Northern Africa.
(Crescent) Reports of monster sightings start to be taken seriously. United States Military Patrols along the border and in the countryside become common.
-9 AS/1993 AD – The news of an epidemic occurring in lands far from the battles is at first thought to be completely unrelated. The Bloody Flu isn't particularly fatal, but spreads very quickly and causes quite a mess.
-8 AS/1994 AD – Nuclear weapons have proven ineffective against Typhonna. The other Legendary pokégirls aren't as obvious as targets go, and therefore can flit in and out of various territorial spaces. Most avoid targeting population centers and instead bring international commerce and trade to a halt by hitting supply lines and disrupting communications.
(Crescent) New England begins to suffer from the trade disruptions.
-7 AS/1995 AD – The full extent of the Bloody Flu was determined. Sterility affects most of the women who had become infected. Outcry against the sciences by the common people begins to swell.
(Crescent) Typhonna reaches the New England Coast and attacks Long Island. The only thing that remains of New York City is the Bronx. Millions are dead within a few hours.
-6 AS/1996 AD – A Canadian soldier named Icarod Mathers discovers that a Growlie he rescued from a bear trap has switched sides and is now very affectionate and loyal to him. This discovery leads to more of the Canadians experimenting and discovering that some of the attacking monsters could be turned against their brethren and become loyal if awfully lusty companions.
-5 AS/1997 AD – With the use of Taming techniques available, the tide begins turning as loyal pokégirls fight in defense of their adoptive homes against the attackers. It is also discovered that pokégirls are fertile with humans and can produce human children or pokégirls of the mother's type or both.
(Crescent) Canadian and United States Military forces begin successfully fighting Sukebe’s pokégirls with human loyal pokégirls. Typhonna returns to New England and Southeastern Canada and shatters the area into a chain of islands that would later be known as Crescent League.
-4 AS/1998 AD – The warship Langoud begins construction in an effort to combat the Legendary Pokégirls.
(Crescent) Sukebe’s Army begins to attack the remaining cities on the newly formed islands. Most of these cities do not remain.
-3 AS/1999 AD – The Legendary pokégirl Typhonna vanishes abruptly. An Amazonchan named Cologne makes a deal for her people with the beginnings of the World Council, establishing an Amazonchan village and the rules for Tamers to challenge.
(Crescent) The cities that have survived Sukebe’s Army are now encamped with human loyal pokégirls watching out for them. Small towns are left unaffected.
-2 AS/2000 AD – Yukii of the Icemaidens makes a deal to establish a territory for her kind much in the matter of Cologne's Joketsuzoku. An attempt by the Chinese to unleash a disease (Monster Flu) that would kill off the pokégirls gives most breeds flu-like symptoms for two days. This is nonetheless reported as a success as the weakened pokégirls are easier to catch and kill and one breed (Sphinx) is almost completely wiped out by the disease.
-1 AS/2001 AD – Most of the major international lines of trade, government, and institutions have fallen by this point into chaos and regional governments. The World Council (originally a UN group researching the pokégirls and advising on means for their containment or elimination) becomes the League.
(Crescent) Captain Nathanial Frost and his battalion comprised of both pokégirls and humans disperse all over the chain islands with a mission to unify the territory under one authority. In order to keep in contact with each other, they use what is left of the satellite communication network.
0 AS/2002 AD – Sukebe dies as his lair is finally found, he is flushed into the open, and missiles reduce his last laboratory and lair to a smoldering crater.
(Crescent) Frost’s Battalion begin spreading the word and celebrating when news of Sukebe’s death reaches them. Half of Sukebe’s Army on the islands dissert their posts and side with humans, both military and civilians.
1 AS/2003 AD – The Monster Flu unleashed by the Chinese mutates into an airborne contagion that affects humans. Now deemed the Red Plague, it boasted a 92% fatality rate.
(Crescent) Although the human forces begin to die off at a drastic rate, the remains of Sukebe’s Army continue to dwindle. The New England/Canadian Islands are now coded as Crescent League.
2 AS/2004 AD (Crescent) – In order to keep law and order amongst the human survivors and their loyal pokégirls, Captain Frost orders the troops on the islands to form a single base of operations for every island. These bases will eventually become the island capitals.
4 AS/2006 AD – Warship Langoud is completed. Construction slowed due to Red Plague.
(Crescent) Captain Nathaniel Frost succumbs to the Red Plague. His son Porter, only seventeen at the time, is chosen to take his father’s place and inherits Livia, his father’s Ka-D-Bra adviser.
5 AS/2007 AD – Red Plague burns itself out. Warship Langoud successfully kills two Legendary Pokégirls, Titania the Stone Titan and Scylla the Water Fiend. Flying Citadel Vale appears over Crimson League territory.
(Crescent) Most of the major cities that have survived Sukebe’s Army begin to fall due to the decaying dead bodies. The cities are either cleaned up to the best of the survivors’ abilities or evacuated outright. The remains of Portland and The Bronx are two of the cities that are still inhabited by survivors.
6 AS/2008 AD (Crescent) – The first human child is born of a pokéwoman in Crescent League. As news spreads, many citizens begin supporting the newly established government and clamoring for private use of pokégirls. Almost no formal army of Sukebe remains, due to either being disbanded or killed.
8 AS/2010 AD – Legendary Pokégirl Kary the Volcano Mistress slain in a titanic battle. Victory declared pyrrhic as all combatants die as Kary uses Explosion, wiping everything within one mile off the map.
(Crescent) Many of Crescent citizens celebrate and the government marks this event as the end of the Revenge War.
10 AS/2012 AD – First Pokécenters are developed due to continued attacks on towns and villages by Feral pokégirls.
(Crescent) Crescent follows suit as many of these ferals are reported to be wearing ripped and dirty remains of Sukebe Army uniforms. Pokécenters are only available in the island capitals. Humans that set out into the wild to capture these ferals are dubbed “Tamers”.
15 AS/2017 AD – Attempts to understand and replicate the pokégirl developments produce the first NurseJoy.
(Crescent) Crescent League citizens have mixed feelings about the use of technology being used to create more pokégirls. After witnessing the NurseJoys’ abilities, some distrust is lowered.
18 AS/2020 AD – First League pokéballs are developed from copying Sukebe's originals.
(Crescent) The Crescent government begins manufacturing as many of this type of item as they can, but demand for pokéballs is much higher than the supply.
19 AS/2021 AD (Crescent) – The League (formerly known as the UN) donates pokéballs to Crescent League in order to help the current government under Porter Frost. Supply still does not meet the demand for this item.
20 AS/2022 AD – Australia, known as the Orange continent due to the color coding of the League's new system, becomes the Orange Islands. Information suggests that an evolution experiment involving an Eva was responsible. Several Pokégirl breeds including the Titmanian Devil, Platypussy, Wombutt, and the Koalass start to die out and eventually become extinct.
22 AS/2024 AD – Attempts at further refinement of the pokégirl creation process develop the first OfficerJenny.
(Crescent) Crescent League citizens begin to have more trust with pokégirl development.
23 AS/2025 AD – Poke-engineers develop the first Maid Yvette series. This proves less popular or necessary than either the Officer Jenny and Nurse Joy varieties, and is discontinued. A small number continue to breed.
(Crescent) Maid Yvettes are only sold and traded to private citizens in Crescent. The Crescent government begins considering having pokégirl regulations on its citizens. The issue causes much dismay among the citizens. Nothing is decided by the government.
26 AS/2028 AD – (Crescent) More debating about pokégirl regulation continues. The government wants limits and specific pokégirls not be owned by private citizens, with citizens not wanting any regulations, due to the threat of ferals and the uncertainty of human children being born. The league government is concerned that groups will try to rise up against them, leading to more chaos. The only thing Porter Frost decides, with the advice of Livia, is to place requirements on Tamers.
29 AS/2031 AD – (Crescent) Livia, now an Alaka-Wham, convinces Porter Frost to set up license classes for owning pokégirls and their requirements. These classes are: Breeder, Researcher, Tamer, and Tradesman. Anyone that owns more pokégirls than the set limits are pardoned from these new rulings. Some pokégirl owners become Tamers or Tradesmen by name, but do not function as they are supposed to.
33 AS/2035 AD – The development of the first Goth at the Indigo Research Center, marking the first post-Sukebe creation of a pokégirl with advanced abilities. The research center is soon shut down as their original authority was overstepped by this development.
(Crescent) Crescent League research into creating new pokégirls is halted, due to the incident in Indigo. Livia and Porter Frost become concerned about Tamers being the only line of defense to protect the citizens of Crescent. Frost commissions the Crescent League Defense Force, comprised of the remaining military troops that fought in the Revenge War and Tamers who are interested in the job.
39 AS/2041 AD – (Crescent) Pokécenters, along with NurseJoys, can now be found all throughout the settlements in Crescent. With this influx of medical care, more and more citizens begin feeling safe with technology again. To make the island capitals sound friendlier, the commanding officers begin calling themselves “Governors/Governesses”.
43 AS/2045 AD – First incident of a Widow occurs in the Crescent League. First adoption of pokégirl pets into the public.
(Crescent)
July: A Widow attacks a small settlement named “Pussywillow Valley” on the island of Stook. The Pokécenter of the settlement was able to get a distress signal to the island capital, only saying that one pokégirl was attacking the settlement. Governor Steven Valero assigned an Extermination Squad to kill, what he believed to be, a feral pokégirl. A Tick-Tock, who would end up becoming Saint Lucertia, was part of this twenty human/pokégirl platoon.
As the team assessed the damage and corpses, totaling 1,013 dead, the squad came to the conclusion that this was the work of one pokégirl, possibly a Legendary. They reported their findings and assessment to Governor Valero and continued hunting the Widow.
August 3rd: The team made contact with the Widow. Half of the team was killed within the first couple minutes. Knowing that they could never win a fight with the monster, Lucretia stated that she would take the thing to a place where it could do no more killing. Ignoring all orders, she bolted toward the Widow, used Time Stop, and took hold of her target, Teleporting it and herself to an unknown destination. Both pokégirls were never seen or heard from again. Soon after, Lucertia is praised as Crescent’s Saint and the day of her sacrifice is made into a league holiday.
After this incident, pokégirls are able to be adopted by all humans that qualify. This is the beginning of the Pet Owner License. The requirements for this license never change. The Master Tamer License also becomes available to Tamers at this time.
44 AS/2046 AD – (Crescent) A memorial statue of Lucretia is placed in the center of Pussywillow Valley during the settlement’s rebuilding. Soon after the rebuilding is completed, the settlement is renamed “Lucretia’s Sacrifice”.
45 AS/2047 AD – The “After Sukebe” calendar becomes the default one, more through public use than any declaration from above.
48 AS/2050 AD – (Crescent) As more and more restlessness occurs among the citizens, worried about another possible encounter with the pokégirl breed called “a Widow”, Overseer Richard Frost, the son of Porter Frost and Livia, commissions the Crescent League Border Patrol. One of the main tasks of this military branch is to conduct flights over the islands and monitor anything coming in and out of the league. The efficiency of the group is so low; Frost does not make the statistics public knowledge. Crescent citizens feel safer knowing that action being taken, even though they are not actually safer.
49 AS/2051 AD – Development of the current League system of Gyms and challengers.
(Crescent) The Crescent League government does not like the idea of Gyms being formed for Tamers. The Overseer Richard Frost states that a Tamer’s job is to catch ferals. No plans for Gyms are created.
50 AS/2052 AD – The typing and classification of pokégirls is first produced by League scientists. Official elements are: Fire, Water, Air (Flying), and Earth (Rock.)
51 AS/2053 AD – It is determined that the Legendary level pokégirl Coccooner is still active and is the cause behind new pokégirl breeds continuing to appear. Alerts are given to Gyms but the nonhuman Legendary is not found.
62 AS/2064 AD – First recorded incidence of a male human born of a human and pokégirl pairing who had a Blood Gift. Yosho Masaki has powerful esper abilities which he uses in defense of his shrine.
69 AS/2071 AD – Due to petitions, elements are added to the official list: Ice, Electric, Psychic, and Fighting. Air is renamed to be Flying, and Earth and Rock divided into two separate elements. Earth is renamed Ground shortly thereafter to help distinguish it from Rock.
79 AS/2081 AD – A young human girl named Olga Stanner becomes the first recorded instance of Threshold. She dies later during attempts to reverse the process.
(Crescent) – In fear that human females will be rarer than they already are, Researchers are asked to find the cause of threshold and to search for a cure.
87 AS/2089 AD – In an effort to further try and find active Legendary pokégirls, in particular trying to track down Coccooner, the Watchers are commissioned by the Indigo League. Other Leagues follow suit.
(Crescent) – Watchers are commissioned by Overseer Jack Frost, son of Richard Frost and his Herokapoeraas pokéwoman Gracia. The Watchers are given a status under Researcher, but are still seen as important.
92 AS/2094 AD – Evolution stone properties are detailed by the Researcher Kakuto Kuno. Chiba city becomes Stone Town.
(Crescent) Evolution Stones are found on a mining expedition. The government begins additional mining processes and uses prisoners for the labor. The Crescent League also begins seizing and buying land that is found to have evidence of Evolution Stones. These are traded by the government for more technology, like pokéballs and other electronics. Pokéballs are still in high demand.
100 AS/2102 AD – In the Centennial celebration, more Elements are added to the official League grouping: Ghost, Magic, and Normal.
101 AS/2103 AD – A wandering Tamer finds the city of Prussian in Indigo has been assaulted by a Widow. The few survivors are children and kits who hid in passageways too small for the Widow to reach in. The Widow itself is found in the main square, having laid 100 eggs and then expired from her own poisons. Examination reveals that each of those eggs would have hatched another Widow. Warship Langoud is official downgraded to a cruise ship/ranch.
(Crescent) – The Crescent government learns the most effective ways of dealing with a Widow are biologically from the Indigo Researchers. Instead of pokégirl types that have now been classified as Magic, the types Fire and Electric are now given more harsh and intense training methods, should they be called on an Extermination Mission.
108 AS/2110 AD – The Church of the Thousand Gods is named as such and has its first theological archive formed in the World Championship Pokégirl League. Most future historians will agree that this is when the Church was officially founded, despite having existed for decades already under many different names.
113 AS/2115 AD – (Crescent) The Second Widow Incident occurs on the island of Eminent. A local Extermination Force is called in to deal with the Widow. With the combination of magic, electric, and fire attacks, the Widow is injured badly. Out of 48 Extermination Force soldiers, all of them die. A second Extermination Force is sent to the area a day later and finish the injured Widow off, losing only 23 soldiers out of 60.
117 AS/2119 AD – First recorded incidence of a human male turned into a pokégirl through exposure to Jusenkyo. Research into Jusenkyo is halted at this point. Oddly enough, some Tamers bring their pokégirls here to strengthen them despite the danger.
(Crescent) – Overseer Marlon Frost, the son of Jack Frost and his Snugglebunny pokéwoman Veronica, declares all Jusenkyo Water found in Crescent to be illegal.
126 AS/2128 AD – Threshold research suspended as no method of reversing the transformation can be found.
137 AS/2139 AD – (Crescent) A gang of bandits begin cropping up near Port City, the remains of Portland, wearing large tee shirts with a crimson “R”. This group moves away from the city within a few months after most of their gang is arrested.
139 AS/2141 AD – (Crescent) A group of bandits with a similar uniform as the gang in Port City cause havoc in Brux, the last remains of New York City. Worried that Port Isle authorities will not be able to pursue these gangs in Paramount, Overseer Marlon Frost commissions the Crescent League Investigations Bureau.
141 AS/2143 AD – League gives official designation to Elements that are referred to popularly anyway: Dragon, Poison, Plant, and Bug.
(Crescent) – Dragon type pokégirls are given more harsh and intense training exercises within the CLDF. All pokégirls of this type are automatically assigned into their local Extermination Force, since they are the only known Element to hold an advantage over a Widow.
149 AS/2151 AD – Archeon Dahl, a Researcher and philosopher, becomes the first person to go public with a number of controversial ideas such as genetic drift and pokégirl rights. He writes a number of books dealing with the subjects and asking everyone to consider what the difference between human and pokégirl is if a human can go through Threshold and become a pokégirl.
(Crescent) – Overseer Marlon Frost ridicules Archeon Dahl’s thoughts and work, strictly regulating all philosophy and research from other leagues that attempt to enter Crescent. Any research/writing that is found to give a positive spin on pokégirls is banned from public knowledge. In order to keep pokégirls from learning about Dahl’s work, pokégirls are no longer allowed a structured education and it is illegal to teach them how to read. Pokégirls that have been taught an education or have gone through threshold are allowed to keep their knowledge. A good portion of citizens do not feel that this policy is fair, quietly teaching their pokégirls an education in secret. Schools must now turn pokékits away from their school’s classrooms. Oddly enough, pokégirls that have an education are allowed to be teachers.
152 AS/2154 AD – (Crescent) As more trading with other leagues occur, more contraband and troublesome humans are immigrating into the league. Since most of the arrested “R Gang” members came from other leagues, xenophobia begins to grow. One of the Crescent League Border Patrol’s new mission tasks is to act as a Customs agency for anything or anyone that enters and leaves Crescent.
157 AS/2159 AD – (Crescent) As more Tamers and some Pet Owners demand to have training facilities to set up for bettering themselves in combat. A few island Governors/Governesses decide to set up Gyms within their capitals.

164 AS/2166 AD – (Crescent) The first Gym of Crescent is completed in Atla, the capital of Core. Dustin Marino, a Master Tamer, retires from taming and accepts Governess Victoria Octavia’s offer to become the Gym’s leader. Gym regulations/rules are created.
165 AS/2167 AD – (Crescent) The second Gym of Crescent is completed in Caspicus, the capital of Strip Island. Gregory Quick, a former Commander of the CLDF, accepts Governor Nicolas Baldwin’s offer to become the Gym’s leader.

(Crescent) – That same year, the third Gym of Crescent is completed in Estivia, the capital of Zenith. George Bell, the third heir to Governor Curtis Bell, requests that his father allow him to be the Gym’s leader. After much debate within the family, the Governor appoints his third son the position.
174 AS/2176 AD – (Crescent) The CLIB continues to arrest the “R Gangs”. The law enforcement agency discovers that most of the bandits are now citizens that have been born in Crescent. This new fact does not lower the league’s xenophobia.
177 AS/2179 AD – (Crescent) The fourth Gym of Crescent is completed in Libinova, the capital of Acme. April Moak, a Master Tamer, retires from taming when she is asked by Governor Mayhew Gaillou to be the Gym’s leader.
180 AS/2182 AD – (Crescent) Another “R Gang” appears in Crescent and attacks a shipment of Evolution Stones being exported out of Crescent. This is the biggest heist any of the groups have pulled to date. A new mission task of the CLBP is to guard and protect shipping vessels carrying trading supplies, as well as patrolling the coastline and channels between the islands.
181 AS/2183 AD – (Crescent) The “R Gang” that pulled the Evolution Stone Heist return. They mistake a CLBP vessel for a trading ship and their vessel is destroyed in a matter of minutes. After psychically interrogating the survivors of the “R Gang”, it is discovered that they originated from Crescent. Not wanting to appear weak, Overseer Cerise Frost, the first female Overseer, refuses to remove the strict xenophobic policies enforced by the CLBP.
185 AS/2187 AD – (Crescent) A trading vessel reports to have spotted a Leviathaness. Psychic readings on the witnesses are inconclusive, but CLBP vessels are put on alert. After three months of no reported sightings, the CLBP stands down.
189 AS/2191 AD – Grav cycles and speeders are developed but remain an item of the very rich due to maintenance problems.
192 AS/2194 AD – Old vehicle designs for automobiles and cycles are refitted for batteries and alcohol burning internal combustion designs. These vehicles are still largely left to a wealthy few and groups like police departments.
(Crescent) – Only a few of the island capital governments begin to experiment with these vehicles. They are mostly used for emergency transportation and military tasks.
205 AS/2207 AD – (Crescent) The Third Widow Incident occurs. A small settlement named Indon reports an ugly, massive spider attacking their settlement and a local Extermination Force arrives. The settlement is destroyed and 1,079 are dead. Only 122 survive by running into the woods and hiding.

A day later, they find the Widow and can see that she is already building a web. The Extermination Force reports the location before they attack. With only 12 out of 90 soldiers surviving the battle, the Widow is killed.
212 AS/2214 AD – A reporter investigating the death of Archeon Dahl discovers evidence in the police reports that the barriers around Dahl's house were bypassed by electronic devices. In the wake of this revelation, that Dahl was actually murdered, the pokégirl rights movement begins to develop anew.
213 AS/2215 AD – (Crescent) A few Pokégirl Rights splinter groups from other leagues immigrate to Crescent and begin finding sympathetic humans to join their ranks. Although the league government does not like these groups, they fear what the repercussions will be from the citizens will be if they arrest and silence these groups. Law enforcement agencies monitor and infiltrate the groups secretly, with the CLIB being the main investigators.
220 AS/2222 AD – (Crescent) The “R Gangs” are finally named Team Rocket in Crescent, after sharing law enforcement information with other leagues. Intelligence reports in collaboration with other leagues reveal that these bandits are nothing more than fractured independent groups that seem to be copying one another’s uniforms and name, not a global scheme for world domination. Overseer Theodore Frost loosens the CLBP’s strict regulation on immigration and research to other leagues.
245 AS/2247 AD – (Crescent) Three Team Rocket groups agree to unite under one rule in order to create a successful crime syndicate within Crescent League. They begin calling themselves Team Trinity.

All information found is reported to the other leagues.
250 AS/2252 AD – The adventurer/explorer/all around famous guy Bellerophon Jones is born. Several novels and movies are based on the adventures of this Researcher and his pokégirls Karen (the tomboyish Titmouse) and Marlene (the danger prone Bunnygirl).
(Crescent) – This same year, Overseer Cheryl Frost restricts immigration and other leagues’ research from entering Crescent again, due to Mao Shin Mao’s Rebellion. She fears that pokégirls will grow sympathetic toward her and lash out against the Crescent government.
251 AS/2253 AD – (Crescent) A Regiment of Mao Shin Mao invades Jury Isle. Learning from the last invasion, they begin attacking the smaller settlements first. CLBP surround the island as the local CLDF encamp themselves and wait for reinforcements. When backup arrives, most of Mao’s Regiment is killed, with the remaining 400 soldiers scattering. About one third (1/3) of them are caught/killed with the remaining soldiers either hiding on Jury Isle or escaping CLBP capture. All military units begin patrolling Crescent more frequently. At the end of the year, an estimated 90 of Mao’s soldiers’ statuses are unknown.
252 AS/2254 AD – Ricardo Esprina is born.
(Crescent) – This same year, Team Trinity secretly begin aiding Mao’s fugitive soldiers by attacking trading shipments, giving the soldiers vessels and a means to escape Crescent League. Team Trinity backstabs these soldiers, capturing 54 of the 72 soldiers they were “helping”.
254 AS/2256 AD – Battle of Pine Ridge.
257 AS/2259 AD – Death of Mao Shin Mao fractures her Rebellion. One splinter group forms the Limbec Pirates.
(Crescent) – One splinter group is called Mao’s Spirit. They are the remaining forces of the regiment that attacked Jury Isle six years earlier. They gain support by finding sympathetic and runaway pokégirls. There numbers remain small for many years.

262 AS/2264 AD – Bellerophon Jones & The Evolution Stone Scam.
270 AS/2272 AD – First portable pokédexes.
(Crescent) – Pokédex demand surpasses pokéball demand; this is the first time pokéball demand comes in second to any other item in Crescent. Although these units are somewhat heavy and bulky, they are a very popular item for Tamers. They do not become free to Tamers for some time.
272 AS/2274 AD – Bellerophon Jones & The Pirate Base.
276 AS/2278 AD – (Crescent) After a few years of tinkering, Crescent Pokédexes become a little less bulky and lighter to carry. Basic models become free for Tamers to have, with the extra functioning, lighter, and less bulky models costing extra. After six years, pokéballs become the most demanded item once again. Progress of the pokédexes continues for the next three decades.
