I'd say something, but Neo and company already said it. There HAS to be a conflict. May I suggest that the 'benevolent' alien benefactors that made the planet the way it is come back at this point, due to unspecified disasters making it the only 'safe' place for whatever reason, and having their high technology and lack of magic conflict? What I mean here is, have the tech explicitly screw with Magic, or vice-versa. That's a whole lot of possible ideology conflicts all at once. That's just my suggestion.

Also, it isn't a REQUIREMENT that a team's player has to follow the team, or that there even is an equivalent team in-universe. For all you know, Team Awesome (just using them as a random example) are going to go completely independant and just wander around with various goals and moralities. You can't prove that Team Magma is actually going to come into this as a team. Or trainer. Or anyone, really. It's merely a preference, if I recall. That's just my two cents, though.
