[Essentials] Pokémon Celestial Stream Recruitment

May the stars align in your favor

Your application at the Cosmos Foundation has finally been accepted, so you pack your items and set off for the foundation. Once you arrive, you are greeted by Professor Maple, whose goals are to research Star Pokémon and Astral Abilities. Before sending you off to a research mission, he offers you a set of starters to assist you in your endeavors: Errian Treecko, Errian Chimchar and Errian Froakie. You are then handed a Pokédex and your first request is to obtain your first star Pokémon. With that given mission, you set out on a journey that could be more than what you've bargained for.

Here's a showcase of the Astral Corrosion ability;
