I didn't read the whole thing, but I skimmed it over. The bits I did read, will likely get it taken down.
Pokémon isn't new to dark lore, but it generally tries to steer away from certain topics, or outright clarification of certain words.
I would give examples of differences between what you wrote and what the Pokémon Company promoted, but I don't know if it'll count as spoilers.
Nothing against your writing. From what I was able to read, it was really well done. If you don't want it to be deleted, I'd recommend posting it to Wattpad, or another site specifically made for writing and where you can clarify designated audiences.
P.S. It's not that I don't want to read. I have ADHD, so I'd have to read at the time I'm mentally ready to read it and stuff. (Which can take awhile, even if I like it... It has to be something, I've been waiting a long while to read, to be able to read it right away...)

I am pretty aware my writing isn’t TPC-friendly, and I am looking to find somewhere to put my writing, which will likely not be anything Pokémon. I tried to reduce the bl**d and mature bits significantly, but I guess my writing style still slipped through. I have seen other fairly dark writing posted here, but it hasn’t been taken down yet. Btw, are you a mod in disguise? (my paranoia needs to know)

I'm not a mod. Just an aspiring writer, with a love for Pokémon. I actually have a few Pokémon Fanfics in the works, sadly with very little progress due to mental health and general daily struggles. I just stumbled upon your post after searching something, due to something else catching me off guard. (Key words, I didn't think would appear on this site, as I opened the page.)
It wasn't anything inherently harmful or anything, just something that caught my attention.
Anyway, sorry. I was just clarifying, as it sounded like you may have been uncertain, rather than knowing. Again, from what I did read, you write fairly well. (Plenty of my stories lean on the darker side as well. But I try to keep it as a whisper in the background, rather than a blatant declaration in the foreground, at least when it comes to series like Pokémon. At least with the stories I hope will someday make it into an official game, series, or manga. I probably have a few that get much darker, that is moreso for recreational purpose, that maybe expresses such more upfront—but those aren't intended for official projects or anything.)
Nonetheless, sorry for triggering any paranoia. And, I'd like to reiterate that I use Wattpad for writing. I didn't see much that was against darker concepts. However, you might have to adjust the rating for your story when you place it there. (I don't think they'd be against you sharing a link to it, though you'd probably have to put a warning or disclaimer about the story in the same post. I don't know, though. I don't really have the rules memorized. I just kinda censor myself as I feel is needed.)
