Achronum@balthazar I'll be finishing up Atana's Pokemart later. Just throwing it up for now in.

New Location
Name: Atana Mountain Range
Location Type: Village
Pokemon Types: Rock, Ground, Metal, Ice, Water, Dark, Psychic, Fairy, Dragon, Flying
Lore:
The Atana Mountain Range stretches across several hundred miles to the far north of Central City where the air is colder and crisper to the touch. The magnificence of the mountains draws many a hiker and nature lover, but trainers and researchers will also find themselves travelling far and wide to journey up the mountain and into its secret caverns where a multitude of rare Pokemon are said to dwell.
The Atana Caverns are divided into two types: Icy and Deep. The Icy Atana Caverns are the shallower caverns found upwards the mountain where Ice, Dark, Water, Ground, and Rock type Pokemon have been documented to dwell. In these caverns, underground lakes are oftentimes completely frozen over, although the ice is unpredictably thin at times. Journey far enough into a cavern and you will find yourself within the Deep Atana Caverns—caverns full of rare and mysterious Pokemon. Here trainers have been said to find Dark, Psychic, Fairy, Water, Rock, Ground, Metal, Ice, and Dragon Pokemon. Venturing into the caverns can be hazardous as the caverns are a sort of labyrinth in their own right, almost completely untouched by civilization. If lucky, a trainer may even come across a cavern full of natural crystals and gems, although respect for the mountain often persuades trainers not to pilfer its beauties.
Outside, the mountain is still a treacherous place often billowing with blizzards and pitfalls of snow or even the rare avalaunch. If trainers are not careful, they will easily find themselves injured or worse, so Poke Corp guidelines recommend that only experienced trainers attempt the hike into the labyrinth of caverns or to the mountain’s peak. As one of the tallest mountains in the region, the view from the top of Mt. Atana spans for miles, with the ocean on one side and the rest of the region on the other. Towards the top of the mountain trainers can find Ice, Rock, Ground, Metal, and Flying type Pokemon. However, some have reported sightings of dragon-types that have wandered outside the mountain or simply journeyed out to stretch their wings. Such sightings have only been documented a few times as most dragon-types stay well within the safety of the caverns.
The legends of Kyurem, the dual ice-dragon type legendary stem from the peaks of Mt. Atana where it is said that lucky trainers may catch a sight of the fantastical Pokemon when it is not deep in slumber somewhere in the heart of the mountain’s labyrinth of caverns. Rayquaza, the lord of the sky, is also said to grace the peak of Mt. Atana with their presence at times, clearing the storm and blizzards for a day of blue skies.
The tales of these two legendary dragons have spread far and wide since locals enjoy telling stories of such sightings to tourists and travelers, but there is no substantial evidence to prove any of the stories true. Rather, visitors are encouraged to visit the icy shrine located in a cave towards the top of the mountain and see the extremely lifelike rendering of Regice that locals take such pride in. The shrine has been there for as long as memory goes, as has the statue, so there is no reason to believe that it is anything but. However, locals still advise travellers not to touch lest they incur the wrath of the legendary Pokemon that was said to have occupied the hidden cave so many years ago.
The same is said of the shrine to Azelf, the deity of willpower, whom the villagers pray to on local holidays and landmark dates. Folk tunes tell of the Pokemon’s residence within one of Mt. Atana’s many frozen lakes, where it slumbers. The villagers respect Azelf immensely and consider it their guardian deity, despite the fact that the only accounts of the Pokemon are in old scrolls and diaries passed through families.
Atana Pokemart:
At the foot of the mountains lies a well-weathered Pokemart that is so often covered with snow that the rooftop is hardly ever visible. The sliding doors, however, are well-maintained, and inside the heating system offers warm comfort to weary travellers.
Atana Laboratory
Tucked away in the snowy foothills that surround Mt. Atana, the Atana Laboratory is often forgotten about entirely. It’s not clear what the researchers are doing here; their doors are never open, and they don’t accept visitors. Not that anyone minds, really.
The Helping Hand Guild
— Special-Interest Group — 
Organization HQ — Central City
Mission Statement:
We recognize that, as trainers, we are stronger when we help each other, so we aim to form bonds and connect with fellow trainers. We vow to treat all with respect and never turn away from a fellow trainer in need.
Organization History:
During some battle during her early days as a trainer, Shanae Eller was utterly crushed in battle by a mysterious trainer and his powerful fairy Pokemon. However, rather than looking down at her like she had done to so many others, the stranger taught her the importance of the bond between trainer and Pokemon as well as the power of friendship and fairy Pokemon, and Shanae could never thank the stranger enough for what she'd been taught.
After ranking up, Shanae has established a group dedicated to helping trainers connect with one another, pulling connections with Poke Corp to help her get the organization on its feet. She serves as the leader of the group, considering it to be more a passion than a part-time job like it is, with the amount of paperwork.

Central City Mission Board
On the main floor of the guild building trainers will find a bulletin board filled with papers requesting aid. These requests have been logged into the guild’s system and, when taken, will be assigned to trainers through their Pokedex.

@Balthazar Added the level here:
Tier 2: Pokemon in this tier are Pokemon that have evolved into their final stage. If no level is specified (like in cases where the Pokemon evolves with an evolutionary stone), their starting level is 45. Tier 2 Pokemon start at whatever level they would have normally evolved and are caught with an Ultra Ball or better.
For this part,
I feel like it'd be better not to restrict the trading at all. If players wish to, they should be able to trade Pokemon however they'd like (subject to investigation if there is abuse, of course). In limiting the tier-trading, a stronger trainer wouldn't be able to give a weaker trainer a hand by trading them a stronger Pokemon, which could be a situation that—however unlikely—I don't think we should prevent.
And I think that's it for me.

For this part,
Simply approach another trainer in the IC thread. And talk to them about trading Pokemon. Once you two have decided on a fair trade, go for it! But there is a catch! Pokemon do have their own pride at stake. Pokemon won't accept the trade unless they are both on the same tier. Pokemon are funny that way.

Step 1) Subscribed!
Step 2) I'll get on that in a mo
Step 3) I'll be fine with either section as well! Pick whichever you'd like, Cat, and I'll take the other :)
Step 4) I think we should bring them all over, if only just so new members have a selection of places to go and organizations to draw inspiration from. We can make them all "NPC" organizations/places, essentially controlled by the GMs. But, of course, I can see why you'd want them not to be brought over, and I agree with that too. I think our current users have enough locations and organizations between us that we wouldn't necessarily need to bring the other over.

@LuckyBlackCat Haha no problem! Feel free to take your time :)
Leisy Takigawa
— Greenhaven —Leisy shook her head, not knowing how to respond to Ella’s question because despite the heroic deed they’d been able to accomplish, they’d failed to do the very thing they’d set out to do: recover their friend’s Pokemon.
When Florence came to with a flood of questions, joy registered in Leisy’s mind—happiness that her friend was alright, awake once again. However, at her last question, Leisy’s heart plummeted, and she glanced helplessly at Ella before steeling herself.
“Everyone’s fine, Florence. We won the battle, and we’re all fine,” Leisy said. “There were nearly fifty stolen Pokemon from the cave, and they’re all being returned to their rightful owners right now. But…” She trailed off. “Vernie. Vernie wasn’t there.”
Her eyes dropped to her feet, not wanting to see the reaction Florence would have to her words. She’d told the truth, and she hoped that Florence would understand that they had done a good job—a great deed—but, all the same, she understood that pain was inevitable with a trainer separated from her Pokemon. She’d lost touch with Devinco for less than half an hour, and it had felt like nothing she’d ever gone through before.

@LuckyBlackCat Ack, yes. Everything's fine in life, although I can't say the same online :/ Semester just started up and, well, wanted some time to settle in. Sorry about my absence!
Leisy Takigawa
— Greenhaven —Leisy nodded, checking Florence’s forehead with a palm. It was warm with sweat, reflecting the girl’s internal struggle, but otherwise not immediate alarming.
“We need to get her to a hospital, and soon,” Leisy said, glancing around at her friends. “Let’s phone in an emergency and start from there. None of us are in any condition to take on another battle like that.”
It took a while for the police and ambulance to arrive, and—after multiple statements and testimonies—the girls were finally allowed to visit their sleeping friend in the hospital, where they promptly fell asleep as well. When they awoke, one by one, it was well into the evening, and the sun had already begun to drift towards the horizon in the distance.
“We’re going to have to tell her that Vernie wasn’t there,” Leisy said softly, remembering the police’s short report to the group after they were done being interrogated about the event. The cave had been far from empty, yielding twenty-something cages of Pokemon, all reported missing. There had been nearly fifty Pokemon in the cave, but none the grass-type Florence had been searching so hard for.
It should be a victory, Leisy thought, turning to look at the girl on the hospital bed, but it doesn’t feel like one.
