Pokemon AU - Sinnoh
Trainer [standard | snow]
Tori continues her journey onto the next region in search of new species and companions. She's gotten along better with Gary, to the point where he aides her often at certain points of her travels, and has made new rivals to challenge and defeat, though she finds Barry just a bit too eccentric and obnoxious. Tori grows constantly annoyed with all the new crime syndicates she keeps encountering, so she and her Pokemon help civilians fight off Team Galactic if they cause a disturbance. As always, she avoids Pokemon Contests and likes defeating coordinators in Pokemon battles.
Main Team
Data
Profile: Rio is a great addition to Tori's team as she has a lot of vitality and learns rather quickly. As a Chimchar she loved clinging to Tori's shoulder as they would walk, and she was very playful and affectionate. Usually in a good mood, she tries to encourage everyone to do their best and to boost the team's morale. She takes her job as the leader very seriously and tries to set a good example, though she's known to be a bit of a prankster. She purposely ignores the advances and flirtations Barry's Empoleon makes on her.
Attacks:
Brick Break, Flame Wheel, Rock Climb, Acrobatics, Swords Dance
Infernape
Rio.
Female.
Jolly.
Fast Ball.
Data
Profile: After a while, Tori had decided to train her Togepi she hatched in Johto. It was a lot of work considering Ciel didn't like to fight, but once she evolved into Togetic, the battling got better. As a Togekiss, she always offers to accompany Tori when she's walking long distances and she likes carrying her on her back in the sky. She's a very jolly Pokemon and rarely ever gets angry, but when she does, it's silent anger that scares everyone else. She's very motherly towards the rest of the team and everyone holds her in high regard. She often comes to Bernard's aide when he's being picked on. Henry makes sure not to upset her. Ciel loves to eat sweet things and can often be found holding Leftovers.
Attacks:
Air Slash, Aura Sphere, Yawn, Flamethrower, Psychic
Togekiss
Ciel.
Female.
Jolly.
Pokeball.
Data
Profile: Feeling bad that she didn't get to really train Phoebe in Hoenn, Tori decided to spend some time with her in Sinnoh. She often treated her to Poffins, but though spicy were her favorite flavor, she opted to be fed dry ones. In a battle with a very snobbish coordinator, Phoebe was told that not only was she a weak Pokemon, but rather ugly and shabby looking. This angered Tori, causing an argument in which she lashed out at the girl saying it's her heart what matters and that she's perfectly fine with how she looks. She thinks her Feebas is beautiful regardless. Feeling touched to the point of tears, Phoebe evolved and became a Milotic, much to Tori's surprise. In the end, she effortlessly defeated all the coordinator's Pokemon. She's very loyal to Tori and like Beauregard, puts her life on the line for everyone else. She has a strong dislike for contests and coordinators.
Attacks:
Dragon Pulse, Ice Beam, Surf, Aqua Ring, Bulldoze
Milotic
Phoebe.
Female.
Brave.
Luxury Ball.
Data
Profile: Being the only male in her main team, he feels responsible for the protection of his female comrades, though they tell him they're perfectly capable of protecting themselves. Leo is similar to Felina in that he enjoys getting praise from Tori and other people, but he's not self-centered and will turn himself into a shield to protect others. Since he doesn't really like to be assisted, he has issues with double battling, but cooperates regardless. Gary points out that pride is what makes Tori and Leo good partners, as much as she denies she's a proud person. Felina is attracted to him but thus far he's shown no interest in her, feeling she needs to get over herself.
Attacks:
Thunderbolt, Crunch, Thunder Fang, Strength, Charge
Luxray
Leo.
Male.
Serious.
Pokeball.
Data
Profile: At first Tori thought the new Eevee she caught was sickly since she was gray, but she didn't realize she just had a shiny coat. Originally she wasn't sure what Eeveelution she wanted next, but Folifia decided for her when she was training her near a moss rock and became Leafeon. She's very fast and witty, so she thinks on her feet and dodges a lot, trying to tire out her opponent before striking. She has a lot of courage and endurance, but she stretches herself too thin. She walks with Tori the most and gets along well with her other Grass types. Surge tries to impress her but she's oblivious to his actions. She likes hanging out with Gary's Umbreon, which causes the Jolteon to get somewhat jealous.
Attacks:
Razor Leaf, Leaf Blade, Dig, X-Scissor, Synthesis
Leafeon
Folifia.
Female.
Brave.
Repeat Ball.
Data
Profile: She likes to stand guard when Tori camps out in the middle of nowhere. She hums incantations that give her Trainer pleasant dreams, but on rare occasions she'll hum the wrong one and give Tori nightmares. She feels bad about it every time it happens. Hex likes putting on magic acts whenever Tori is near other Trainers relaxing with their Pokemon. She gets along well with McGraw and they like to sneak up on people and scare them together. Icabod has a crush on her so he tries to impress her or make her laugh, though at times he gets shy. She brings a lot of good fortune to Tori and her team when she's in battle.
Attacks:
Shadow Ball, Psychic, Power Gem, Confuse Ray, Dark Pulse
Mismagius
Hex.
Female.
Modest.
Moon Ball.
Other Teammates
Data
Profile: He's a powerful fighter and intimidates a lot of the team if they don't behave. Because he tends to have an aggressive nature, Ciel doesn't like to be around him and scolds him for scaring the other teammates. He makes jokes that Spiral looks like a good snack, which only throws him into a panic because it reminds him of Terra. Rio has a tough time negotiating with him and getting him to cooperate without showing off too much. When he doesn't listen, the Infernape messes up his comb which leaves him in a fuss. Tori doesn't like flying with him because he gets distracted. Ace oftentimes tells him he needs to relax so she won't be afraid of using him to travel.
Attacks:
Aerial Ace, Sky Attack, Fly, Wing Attack, Endure
Staraptor
Hawkins.
Male.
Rash.
Pokeball.
Data
Profile: She's just as vain as Felina but refuses to use her looks to her advantage, more interested in cunning tactics to win. She loves to dance so she enjoys being around Sunburst a lot. Ivy tends to be mischievous, even pulling pranks on the more "professional" Ghost types which infuriates Icabod as he's claimed himself to be the king of pranks out of all of Tori's Pokemon. She usually has a good temperament and aides Ciel with calming everyone down by using Sweet Scent. She often fixes her white hair and hates it when somebody purposely messes it up. Ivy partakes in Hex's magic shows to impress passerby. This gains Tori extra money even though she never asked for them to do this.
Attacks:
Sludge Bomb, Energy Ball, Sweet Scent, Giga Drain, Petal Dance
Roserade
Ivy.
Female.
Impish.
Pokeball.
Data
Profile: He's very playful and loves swimming with Tori when she takes a rest on the beaches. He floats on his back a lot in the water and the smaller Pokemon of other Trainers like sitting on his belly. He doesn't take many things seriously which gets him in trouble a lot with Leo, but he usually ignores his threats and continues to play in the water. As a fighter, he's reliable and uses his speed to launch attacks at the opponent, or attacks that intercept the foe's to protect his teammate. He uses Scald a lot on the members who annoy him.
Attacks:
Aqua Jet, Ice Fang, Crunch, Scald, Me First
Floatzel
Marino.
Male.
Quirky.
Dive Ball.
Data
Profile: A bouncy spirit, Mika is very enthusiastic about a lot of things and sometimes her energy tires out the others. Highly curious, she asks a lot of questions to better understand concepts foreign to her. She grooms her ears a lot and likes exercising to keep herself in shape, so she enjoys walking with Tori. She's underestimated often because of her adorable tendencies in battle, such as getting into a boxer's stance and shifting on her feet, but she proves to be rather hard to attack due to her speed and nimble movements. A lot of male Pokemon are attracted to her, but she remains ever oblivious. Felina gets jealous of Mika's natural cuteness. Champ is rather infatuated with her, much to Rosepunch's dismay.
Attacks:
Dizzy Punch, Bounce, Sky Uppercut, Strength, Sweet Kiss
Lopunny
Mika.
Female.
Naive.
Love Ball.
Data
Profile: He loves to fight and train, so he levels up pretty quickly, which is rather satisfactory to Tori. Spike likes training with Terra, mostly because she's airborne and he's stuck on the ground, so it becomes more of a challenge for him. He's attached to the rest of his Trainer's revived fossil Pokemon and often shares stories of moments from days past. He's not very smart and can be clumsy, so a more responsible Pokemon like Ciel usually keeps a close eye on him. Though his appearance is intimidating, like Jaws, he's actually rather friendly. He likes to swim and pulls Bernard into joining him, ever oblivious that the poor Sudowoodo is afraid of water.
Attacks:
Zen Headbutt, Rock Slide, Crunch, Iron Head, Rock Polish
Rampardos
Spike.
Male.
Bold.
Great Ball.
Data
Profile: She becomes unreasonably irritated when other Trainers mistake her for a male. At first even Tori thought she was a male until she checked her data on the Pokedex. She communicates often with her Trainer using telepathy and dislikes using moves that increase her defense, as she likes to practice endurance. Maxine has a very strong sense of justice and for this reason, she's very critical of Silver and his behavior to how he treats his team, even though it's no longer as severe. She's very good friends with Bernard and enjoys sparring with Champ, Hercules, Rosepunch, and Mika. She's incredibly loyal to Tori and tries to help her personal growth through observation and advice.
Attacks:
Cross Chop, Aura Sphere, Bone Rush, Force Palm, Swords Dance
Lucario
Maxine.
Female.
Brave.
Ultra Ball.
Data
Profile: He's probably Tori's most troublesome companion in terms of handling. Though he's usually very happy and content, his temper is short and he doesn't put up with any kind of nonsense. He's more mature than the rest, but it takes a group effort to calm him down, though Ciel, Phoebe, and Beauregard can do it within a matter of seconds. He guides Tori through any snowy landscape and usually carries her in his arms so she doesn't have to trek through such long distances in the cold. He likes Christmas so Tori bought him a Santa Claus hat which he wears happily. He also gives great hugs and is rather friendly, as long as he's not provoked in a negative manner.
Attacks:
Wood Hammer, Blizzard, Avalanche, Rock Slide, Mist
Abomasnow
Nicolai.
Male.
Jolly.
Friend Ball.
Data
Profile: He's matured since he was an Electabuzz so his temper is more controlled, but he still jumps to conclusions and accusations. Bonesworth tolerates him more now, and though he doesn't tease Champ anymore, he still makes comments about his inexperience in comparison to him. He's good friends with Nicolai, though the latter often advises him to be nicer to the Hitmonchan. Tori obtained his final evolution by trading with Gary when both their Electabuzz were holding Electirizers, and then trading back. The two Electivires get along relatively well.
Attacks:
Thunder, Thunderbolt, Brick Break, Light Screen, Fire Punch
Electivire
Buzzstrike.
Male.
Hasty.
Ultra Ball.
Data
Profile: Tori had always wanted a Gallade, finding them to be noble Pokemon and great companions, though finding a Ralts in Sinnoh was difficult. He's very courteous, chivalric, and courageous. He considers himself Tori's bodyguard and she used him a lot in battle against Team Galactic grunts. Because of his gentlemanly attitude, he's admired by most of her female Pokemon, though his heart belongs to Beauregard. He's shy when he's around her and blushes easily, so he prefers not to confess and protects her with his life in double battles. They make a great team and Tori likes using them together and even walking with both of them simultaneously.
Attacks:
Psycho Cut, Drain Punch, X-Scissor, Aerial Ace, Swords Dance
Gallade
Jacques.
Male.
Brave.
Repeat Ball.
Data
Profile: She's kinder to lower level Pokemon and challenges stronger ones with enthusiasm. She gets along exceedingly well with Destdra and looks up to Ryuu a lot. The pranks of the Ghost Pokemon make her angry, so the only one she likes is Grimm and considers him her buddy. Because of her ferocious appearance and the standard nature of her species, she tries to show that she can be kind if people let her and don't assume right away. She likes soaring over oceans and diving to explore or catch prey, which Tori makes sure not to interfere with. Machra likes making flower crowns and putting cute bows on herself. She loves seafood a lot, so Tori treats her when she can during her stops at port cities.
Attacks:
Dragon Claw, Crunch, Dig, Aerial Ace, Hone Claws
Garchomp
Machra.
Female.
Gentle.
Great Ball.
Data
Profile: He's still eerily quiet in his fully evolved form, but voices his thoughts a lot more frequently. He's docile with pretty much everyone and friendly with newcomers. Because his habits are vastly different from the rest of Tori's Ghost Pokemon, they feel estranged from him, but at the same time enjoy speaking with him for he has words of wisdom to give them. Like many of her Pokemon, Grimm is fiercely loyal to her and acts as her bodyguard. He will pop out of his Pokeball if he senses souls still wandering about, so Tori has to wait for him to finish safely guiding them to the spirit world. She thinks it's very admirable and doesn't really mind.
Attacks:
Shadow Punch, Ice Punch, Fire Punch, Thunder Punch, Disable
Dusknoir
Grimm.
Male.
Quiet.
Dusk Ball.
Data
Profile: She's rather elegant and likes only the finest of foods, which sometimes frustrates Tori since she doesn't have that kind of money and would rather spend it on necessary items like medicine or Pokeballs. She fights gracefully but also enjoys giving out powerful Sucker Punches to those who underestimate her. Yuki is calm and collected, not understanding how some of her teammates have such short fuses. Because she's rarely angry, she can seem apathetic about a lot of things, but she's also very caring towards Tori and the comrades she favors. She does pull pranks, but they're not as often and they're more elaborate than Icabod's. She likes to overshadow him with her intelligence. Yuki finds comfort with Grimm and prefers to be around him more than anyone else.
Attacks:
Blizzard, Shadow Ball, Destiny Bond, Sucker Punch, Ice Beam
Froslass
Yuki.
Female.
Docile.
Pokeball.
Data
Profile: It is the most mischievous out of all of Tori's Ghost types. It learns from Icabod, Hex, and any other teammate that likes to pull pranks, then utilizes them to make its own tricks better. With practice, it has been able to outwit Icabod, though the Gengar refuses to give up his title as the prankster king. Static used to mess with Tori in the beginning, invading her electronics when he was let loose to relax, but after Ciel's scolding and Grimm's glaring, it has stopped. It takes battling seriously and punishes itself if it doesn't win. It loves picking on Bernard, but when another teammate goes too far, it comes to his aide. Static wants the teasing to be playful, not harmful.
Attacks:
Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Signal Beam, Double Team, Psychic
Rotom
Static.
None.
Naughty.
Ultra Ball.
