Aotra (XOver region)

Aotra is a region in Pokémon XOver.

Etymology
The name comes from the Malagasy word "aotra", meaning "zero".

Design concept
Aotra is based on Madagascar.

Trial Keepers
Rather than Gym Leaders, Aotra has Trial Keepers, who follow a specific theme, rather than a type.

High Council
Rather than the usual Elite Four and Champion, Aotra instead has the mysterious High Council. They specialize in a specific type and gimmick, and represent a specific colour.

Notably, a member of the High Council will use a full team that can utilize a given gimmick, even if the gimmick can only be used once per battle. So Faniry's entire team is holding Z-Crystals, so she can use a Z-Move with any one of them, for example. The sole exception to this appears to be Hasina, as she uses all of the gimmicks.

Trivia

 * The adjectival form of Aotra is "Aotrian".
