One interesting thing is they can create any number of their pre-evolution state -a pokémon known as Sinistea- by pouring a little of themself into left out and cold cups of tea. [He made sure that wasn't happening so far, at least.] The tea they produce is also said to be quite delicious and even sought after, but if not given willingly by the pokémon itself, it can cause quite a few stomach problems at the very least.

[Setting off that journey was something Clavell had been so proud to do, just to see the excitement of the students. Seeing them grow stronger and more sure of themselves when they came by for classes and the like-] There is a tradition back home, in my region, for students of the Academy to go out on what we call a Treasure Hunt; the assignment is to find their own treasure in any sense of the term. It sets them off on their journeys as they are free to choose how they go, exploring the vast land, the cities and their people, and the numerous pokémon that live throughout.

[And by the sound of Clavell's voice, the fondness and even warm pride, it was something he was dearly passionate about. Perhaps one reason he was chosen as the Academy's director not so long ago.]

Some have trouble with the touch aspect, but I hope it means your world has an easier time of- ah. Resting and recharging, if needed at all. Abilities like that, control and use of the elements, are something only pokémon have where I'm from.
