The Divergent Challenge

Introduction
Welcome everyone to my first challenge, The Divergent Challenge! This challenge, created by me, is based on the amazing book, Divergent, written by Veronica Roth. I just finished this book the other day and when I did I thought, "Hey, this would make a great challenge!" So here it is everyone! I hope you enjoy :)

Rules
1. You must complete a short quiz to find out which faction you belong to, the faction you get decides the kind of Pokemon you'll be able to use. These Pokemon also belong to your faction and you may only use them.
If a Pokemon doesn't belong to your faction but evolves to a Pokemon that does then they are allowed, but if a Pokemon belongs to your faction but evolves into a Pokemon that doesn't then you are not allowed to evolve it.
Alternate forms are interchangable, meaning you can change back and forth as you please so long as changing form won't cause it to no longer belong to your faction. For example, if you are using Rotom as your Ghost type you may not change it's form, but if you're using Rotom as your Electric type you may change its for as you please.

2. There is one condition where you can use a Pokemon that doesn't belong to your faction. This Pokemon is the Divergent of your team and can be whatever Pokemon you want it to be, even a legendary. If it isn't catchable in your game or not catchable until after beating the Elite 4, you may hack or trade it in at after the 5th gym. It must be level 40 or lower. I know some legendaries are unavailable at that level legally so you can trade those in at the lowest level possible, but if you're able to hack in the pokemon you should have no problem lower the level.

3. Legendaries are not allowed unless they are your Divergent.

4. Hacking is permitted only under the following conditions. Hacking in one Pokemon, level 5 or under, of your faction in the beginning of the game is allowed only if the Pokemon you're hacking in is available before the 2nd gym, or unavailable until after the 4th. Hacking for evolution is perfection fine.You may also hack for Pokemon that belongs to your faction as long as they belong to the the same region pokedex. For example, you're playing Pokemon Blue but Ekans is in your faction and you want to use it, you may hack a low level Ekans if you want.

5. Trading is permitted only under the following conditions. No Pokemon of you faction are available until after the 3rd gym and you are unable to hack one in, must be level 5 or under. Trading for evolution is perfectly fine. You may also trade for Pokemon that belongs to your faction as long as they belong to the the same region pokedex. For example, you're playing Pokemon Blue but Ekans is in your faction and you want to use it, you may trade a low level Ekans if you want.

6. You must have a team of 6. 1 for each different member of your faction.

7. HM Slaves are allowed. Though must be boxed when not needed.

8. Playing a hack is completely acceptable, but total hacks (Pokemon Brown, Pokemon Light Platinum, etc.) will only count for single challenges. Hacks that feature existing regions, whether they are remakes or complete pokedex hacks (Pokemon Blaze Black, Pokemon Expert Emerald) are acceptable for ultimate challenges but can only replace a game with the corresponding region.

9. The challenge ends when you defeat the champion, except in...

Spoiler:

G/S/C/HG/SS: Red on Mt. Silver
E: Steven in Meteor Falls
B/W: Alder
B2/W2: Iris (Rematch)

Ultimate Challenger must complete the challenge in one game of every region following the rules of the same faction.
This can be done in any order you choose.

Optional Rules:
1. Must nickname all Pokemon.
2. If a Pokemon faints during initiation into the faction then its dead and you must catch another Pokemon to fill its role in your faction. Initiation ends at level 20.
3. You only have a certain amount of points with your faction, so you can only buy a certain amount of items from each Pokemart. The amount is up to you.
4. There are very few doctors in your faction, so you can only use each Pokemon Center a certain amount of times. The amount is up to you.
5. Anything else you can think of.

I haven't read the Divergent series yet, but this looks interesting so I'm in. :)

Team: Umbreon (Dark), Hitmonlee (Fighting), Charizard (Fire), Magneton (Steel), Victreebel (Attack), Lapras (Divergent)
Since there are no Dark types available in Kanto until after the Elite Four, may I hack in a low-level Umbreon at the beginning? I can't evolve it from Eevee either since FRLG has no clock system.
Optional Rules?: I have to nickname all of my team members.

Polymus1, I really think you need to start looking at when these challenges were last posted in. This is the second one you've revived today. :/ Challenges are dead after two months, meaning you don't post in them. If you want to try that challenge, either check to see if someone already remade it or start a new one.

Locked.
