Subject: [PATCH] New dex entries using DP myth docs

Piloswine and Lapras pending; seem weak.
Octillery story seems to lewd even for a game that has decensored much of the original content.

Rapidash and Tauros entries give credence to featuring them around Ruddy Town with Coatl and Xatu.

Typhlosion entry allows for connections to the mujina (even if not wholly intentional, seemingly), which I quite enjoy. However, the dex entry is unsatisfactory.

+; Extremely abridged version of the infamous Typhlosion story from the DP development docs.
+; Based on the Bear Mother story from Canadian First Nations mythology. I chose to blend it with the mythology of the very similar Mujina (貉).
+; I chose Typhlosion over Hisuian Typhlosion to be consistent with the time period in which the lore was devised.
+; However, as a dex entry, it's quite poor. I think this could be modified and tweaked.
