Moving on to Shima! Shima is getting no Pokemon. They're cool, but he's honestly not responsible enough to care for another living creature and there are no real future plot points in having one down the road with one for him. He will be exploring ahead as a nightrunner scout, however, and...
He will be freaking out about giant bug Pokemon because he has a severe phobia of insects! Hooray! Pokemon-verse is a nightmare for him!
He will also temporarily pick up (aka STEAL) a Salandit (and maybe a few other Pokemon) due to encountering and legit beating up some Team Skull goons. He won't actually realize people here fight with their Pokemon and not, like, ACTUAL FIGHTING until after the fact. Bad times for Team Skull, bad, bad times. This may or may not lead to some Team Skull grunts spotting him at the carnival and trying to get revenge, but. We'll see!
I'm open to other stuff, that's just what I have planned off the top of my head.
