Hippopotas (Behemoth)
PUPITAR ♂ | Rock/Ground | LV44 (3/5)
Nickname: Belzilla(/Astaroth)
Ability: Guts; Attack goes up 50% when afflicked with an ailment.
Status: In-Party
Moves: Bite (Dark), Leer (Normal), Sandstorm (Rock), Screech (Normal), Rock Slide (Rock), Scary Face (Normal), Thrash (Normal), Dark Pulse (Dark)
Details: Met at New Bark Town at Level 5 (March 27). Belzilla is, in terms of personality, the big troublemaker of the team. If there is someone else, be they human or Pokemon, bigger or smaller, he will want to cause them trouble solely because it amuses him. He loves mischief, and is always straightforward and to the point so he doesn't have to wait long to get his fun. The only person he listens to is Hiro, and even then, it's only barely. With the relationship he's built up between Hiro and the other Pokemon, he's become second in command - with the exception of Pendragon's team, most of the Pokemon, even the stronger ones, understand Belzilla is in charge.
HONCHKROW ♂ | Dark/Flying | LV31 (2/5)
Nickname: Yatagarasu
Ability: Super Luck; Critical hits occur twice as often.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Peck (Flying), Astonish (Ghost), Pursuit (Dark), Haze (Ice), Wing Attack (Flying)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 6); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 11). Yatagarasu is a haughty bird, and though he's fine listening to Hiro, his pride and good luck often make him arrogant when he really shouldn't be, given his level and all. He enjoys flying up high to literally look down on his fellow Pokemon, and even trainer when he's not being given any orders. The only Pokemon he'll listen to of the team is Belzilla, and he has a particularly high disgust of the "Easter Rock" trio.
MUNCHLAX ♂ | Normal | LV16 (0/5)
Nickname: Shiva
Ability: Pickup; Often picks up items outside of battle.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Metronome (Normal), Odor Sleuth (Normal), Defense Curl (Normal), Amnesia (Psychic)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 6); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 11). Like most Munchlax and Snorlax, Shiva is one hungry hungry Pokemon, but not just for food, for pretty much anything. Battle being one of the main things, making it one Pokemon Hiro wants to pay attention to. Ironically, however, he has hunger phases - when he's NOT hungry, he enjoys meditating and resting. Perhaps he's getting ready for being a Snorlax?
NIDORINO ♂ | Poison | LV31 (0/5)
Nickname: Gozuki
Ability: Poison Point; Poisons the foe upon contact.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Peck (Flying), Leer (Normal), Focus Energy (Normal), Double Kick (Fighting), Poison Sting (Poison), Fury Attack (Normal)
Details: Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 6); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 11). Gozuki is the resident "tough guy", and though he isn't very big yet, he's proud of his power and can't wait to have more of it to prove himself to Hiro and the others. He doesn't strut around, nor does he feel particularly arrogant, he just wants to fight, smash, break, and prove that he can hold his own amongst such a large group - which gets harder and harder with each new Pokemon Hiro adds to the team.
PIPLUP ♀ | Water | LV15 (0/5)
Nickname: Laksmi
Ability: Torrent; Powers up Water-type moves in a pinch.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Pound (Normal), Growl (Normal), Bubble (Water), Water Sport (Water)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 6); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 11). Laksmi is the team's princess and the first girl of the group. Easily the nicest Pokemon, she prefers to sit back and cheer on her fellow "demons" on as opposed to getting down and dirty herself. If need be, though, she'll support them all no matter what, her "King", Hiro, included. After meeting Mammon, however, she's found herself rather... fond of being squished and hugged and loved - something Hiro doesn't do that often, at least not with a woman's touch - and has begun to ponder the meaning of life. That is, she wonders if evolution is the thing for her. Time will tell what the princess decides.
NOSEPASS ♂ | Rock | LV54 (2/5)
Nickname: Daemon
Ability: Magnet Pull; Drags Steel types in and prevents their escape.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Harden (Normal), Rock Throw (Rock), Block (Normal), Thunder Wave (Electric), Rock Slide (Rock), Sandstorm (Rock), Rest (Psychic)
Details: Unknown obtaining/hatch date in regards to its original trainer; Hiro discovered the Nosepass wandering around Violet City at Level 30 on [April 10]. The two quickly bonded over their dislike of the attacking Bug-type Pokemon and through a series of fortunate events, the Nosepass joined the team. Somewhat like Kaido, Arioch always asks questions later and is the first one into a fight, and would rather break into a hundred pieces than lose it. Due to the similarities between his "number one henchman" and the Nosepass, odd looks aside, Hiro finds himself ridiculously fond of the Rock type.
YANMEGA ♂ | Bug/Flying | LV46 (2/5)
Nickname: Python
Ability: Speed Boost; Speed gradually rises... and rises and rises and rises.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: AncientPower (Rock), Tackle (Normal), Foresight (Normal), Quick Attack (Normal), Double Team (Normal), Sonic Boom (Normal), Detect (Fighting), Supersonic (Normal), Uproar (Normal), Pursuit (Dark), Feint (Normal)
Details: Met in Violet City at Level 19 (April 11). Despite how fearsome Yanmega tend to look, Python is a kid at heart and thus tends to get along with Belzilla really well. Though he's not mean spirited in any way, Python is naive enough to go along with whatever his fellow "demons" tell him, but if Hiro says do something, he does it no question. He still has the occasional nightmare, and despite his attitude and use of sonic waves himself, hates Zubats and their line with a passion, but is overall one of the better off bugs after the whole Tarantulas incident. He wants to move past what happened and be a happy little camper... which, admittedly, is hard when most people are terrified of him at first sight. He'll make it past that though!
PINECO ♀ | Bug/Grass | LV12 (0/5)
Nickname: Vivian
Ability: Sturdy; Negates 1-Hit KO attacks.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Protect (Normal), SelfDestruct (Normal), Bug Bite (Bug), TakeDown (Normal)
Details: Met in Violet City at Level 12 (April 11). Hiro actually really wanted to train Vivian, and was really looking forward to using what essentially was a floating bomb... Only to discover that his poor new bug was terrified of sound - any sound at all - and SelfDestructed upon anything she deemed too loud. She barely accepts Hiro, let alone the rest of his team, so he plans on working with her to help her get over her fear before he even starts training her. In fact, at this point, he's almost given up the idea of training her: he just wants her to be able to sit still for five minutes without blowing herself up.
SKORUPI ♂ | Poison/Bug | LV23 (0/5)
Nickname: Pierce
Ability: Battle Armor; Blocks Critical Hits.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Bite (Dark), Poison Sting (Poison), Leer (Normal), Knock Off (Dark), Pin Missile (Bug), Accupressure (Normal), Scary Face (Normal)
Details: Met in Violet City at Level 17 (April 11). Not unlike Vivian, Tarantulas' abuse of his bug "soldiers" took a toll on Pierce; he's violent and prone to attack, which is, admittedly, just like Hiro's style, and he works well in tandem with Daemon. Unfortunately, Pierce is a bit too uncontrollable at times, so Hiro can't use him as much as he'd like to. Because of this, Hiro doesn't even know Pierce that well.
PARASECT ♂ | Bug/Grass | LV50 (1/5)
Nickname: Fungus Jack (A)
Ability: Effect Spore; Upon making contact with this Pokemon, a foe has the chance of gaining a status effect.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Scratch (Normal), Stun Spore (Grass), Poison Powder (Poison), Leech Life (Bug), Spore (Grass), Slash (Normal), Growth (Normal), Giga Drain (Grass)
Details: Met in Violet City at Level 24 (April 11). Fungus Jack is... pretty quiet, all things considered. Maybe it's because his mushroom is supposedly possessing him, or maybe it's just because he was always quiet, either way, he's a very chill guy who wants to speak his mind (without actually speaking) and get on with his business. He obeys Hiro without much complaint and seems very eager to please. Maybe it's the mushroom that's eager?
PARAS ♂, ♀, ♂ | Bug/Grass | LV25 (0/5), LV22 (0/5), LV18 (0/5)
Nickname: Fungus Jack (B-D)
Ability: Effect Spore, Effect Spore, Dry Skin
Status: All Boxed.
Moves: Scratch (Normal), Stun Spore (Grass), Poison Powder (Poison), Leech Life (Bug), Spore (Grass), Slash (Normal), Growth (Normal)
Details: Details: All met in Violet City at varying Levels (April 11). Though their personalities vary, this trio of Paras are the most "henchmen" like of all out of Hiro's party - perhaps because of Tarantulas' influence or simply because that's just how they are. They could be likened to the Three Stooges, or other such trios, in their antics, but at the end of the day they only want to please their new trainer and Overlord, and are more than competent enough to do so.
COMBUSKEN ♂ | Fire | LV35 (3/5)
Nickname: Garuda
Ability: Blaze; Powers up Fire-type moves in a pinch.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Scratch (Normal), Growl (Normal), Focus Energy (Normal), Ember (Fire), Peck (Flying), Double Kick (Fighting), Sand Attack (Ground)
Details: Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 11); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 16). Garuda, though he feels like the youngest of the "demon" team, works hard to prove himself like Gozuki, and was enamored with Hiro at first sight. He's the little "go-getter" of the team and is always up and at 'em for a fight. Whether it was out of respect, a sort of rivalry, or perhaps parental admiration, it remains to be seen; regardless, however, the little chicken knows who's boss and won't let that boss down.
CRANIDOS ♂ | Rock | LV20 (0/5)
Nickname: Taotie
Ability: Mold Breaker; Negates enemy abilities that would prevent or weaken attacks.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Headbutt (Normal), Leer (Normal), Focus Energy (Normal), Pursuit (Dark), Take Down (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The hard-headed, stubborn member of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. When Taotie gets an idea into his head, not only does it stick there, he makes sure to ram it into and through the wall of reality so it's seen through to the end. Luckily (or unluckily) for the wall of reality, usually his ideas are just Pendragon and Hiro's, and so long as he doesn't already have something in mind, he can be surprisingly obedient to those he's loyal to.
GIBLE ♂ | Dragon/Ground | LV21 (0/5)
Nickname: Pendragon
Ability: Sand Veil; Evasion is boosted in a sandstorm.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Sand Attack (Ground), Dragon Rage (Dragon), Sandstorm (Rock), Take Down (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The cunning leader of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. Unlike Belzilla's particular brand of leadership and deviousness, Pendragon lives up to his looks and likes to be a shark about things. He lurks below the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and when he does, he rips a huge chunk out that you can never recover from. ... Of course, as scary as it sounds, most of the time these things don't amount to much more than pranks that rival Belzilla's - in this regard, the two of them are fierce competitors, with most of Hiro's Pokemon "working" for Belzilla and Taotie and Behemoth loyally siding with Pendragon.
HIPPOPOTAS ♂ | Ground | LV20 (0/5)
Nickname: Behemoth
Ability: Sand Stream; Creates a sandstorm.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Slack Off (Normal), Tackle (Normal), Sand Attack (Ground), Bite (Dark), Yawn (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The easygoing, fun-loving member of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. Given his usual personality, friendly and cheerful, you would expect a Pokemon like Behemoth to stay far, far away from a Pokemon like Pendragon; despite this, it seems even with how kind and sweet he is, he also is very loyal to the Gible he was raised with, and even takes a little amusement in the things Pendragon does and gets into.
FROSLASS ♀ | Ice | LV20 (3/5)
Nickname: Yuki Jyorou
Ability: Inner Focus; Flinching is prevented.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Powder Snow (Ice), Leer (Normal), Double Team (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (May 1); hatched in the Ruins of Alph at Level 1 (May 8). Not unlike Laksmi, Yuki Jyorou has an "elegant" air about her, but unlike Laksmi, Yuki is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and is in fact very cold and brutal in her way of thinking. Her "God", in her mind, is Hiro, and she is a priestess sent to worship him. Perhaps this is Hiro's fault for telling her about demons and his battle ith the Bels while she was still in an egg, but regardless, he's everything to her.
NATU ♀ | Psychic/Flying | LV18 (0/5)
Nickname: Rangda
Ability: Synchronize; When this Pokemon obtains a status problem, the foe obtains one as well.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Peck (Flying), Leer (Normal), Night Shade (Ghost), Teleport (Psychic), Lucky Chant (Normal), Miracle Eye (Psychic)
Details: Met in the Ruins of Alph at Level 15 (May 8). Hiro caught Rangda expecting a fun, perky bird like Naoya's Natu - what he got was a creepy woman of mystery, who seemed to be fascinated with everything spooky and just plain wrong. She takes amusement in anything that goes wrong for Hiro, and the only sound she ever makes is a chirping laugh when something's gone wrong for Hiro. At almost all other times, she is simply silent: waiting to see how Hiro will entertain her next.
SMEARGLE ♂ | Normal | LV21 (0/5)
Nickname: Legion
Ability: Own Tempo; The Pokemon cannot become confused.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Sketch (Normal), Sketch (Normal), Sketch (Normal)
Details: Met in the Ruins of Alph at Level 15 (May 8). Truly the trickiest of Hiro's Pokemon, Legion seems to have as many personalities as he can have attacks. While at first glance he might seem like a loyal puppy, the next he could be as cunning as Pendragon or even as arrogant as Yatagarasu - even as loyal as Yuki if he decides to be. No one, not even Hiro, can tell what's on his mind, but he does know that the Smeargle will listen, which is good enough for him.
TENTACRUEL ♂ | Water/Poison | LV24 (1/5)
Nickname: Ym
Ability: Liquid Ooze; Draining causes injury.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Poison Sting (Poison), SuperSonic (Normal), Constrict (Normal), Acid (Poison), Toxic Spikes (Poison), BubbleBeam (Water), Wrap (Normal)
Details: Met in Olivine City at Level 22 (May 26). Though the circumstances involving Hiro and Ym coming together were anything but pleasant, this particular Tentacruel is actually a very old and wise creature, who now spends his time keeping Hiro's Pokemon in check when Hiro isn't looking. He's not exactly a "no nonsense" character, he's simply got more experience than most of Hiro's party put together and isn't afraid to make that clear to all of the youngins he's been put together with.
MAGMAR ♂ | Fire | LV19 (0/5)
Nickname: Flaemis
Ability: Flame Body; Contact with this Pokemon may induce a burn.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Smog (Poison), Leer (Normal), Ember (Fire), SmokeScreen (Normal), Faint Attack (Dark)
Details: Met in the Burned Tower at Level 17 (May 27). Though Hiro was initially exploring for the sake of exploring (and hoping to meet Vanitas), Hiro stumbled across this Magmar wandering around the basement and the two somehow hit it off really well. Though Hiro can't understand what he's saying, he can tell he's quite the joker (and not the trickster kind like a lot of his other Pokemon) and seems to get amusement out of everything. ... For some reason, he also wears sunglasses that he takes on and off at seemingly random times.
MARILL ♀ | Water | LV37 (2/5)
Nickname: Maroll
Ability: Huge Power; Attack Stat is raised.
Status: In-Party. Holding Everstone.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Defense Curl (Normal), Tail Whip (Normal), Water Gun (Water), Rollout (Rock), Bubblebeam (Water), Aqua Ring (Water), Double-Edge (Normal), Rain Dance (Water)
Details: Originally met by frustratings in New Bark Town, later by Hiro in Cherrygrove City. When Sayaka left Johto, the little fat round thing rolled on over to join Hiro's team. Though she's an adorable little ball of fat, she hates being called as much, and she mostly rolls to get from place to place, which is something that both baffles and endlessly amuses Hiro and his team. Her curiosity is her strongest point, and while with Sayaka she balanced out the girl's angst - with Hiro she's a constant reminder of the good times he and the girl had, and how he'll definitely get her back so she can have another happy dream here in Johto for sure.
BAGON ♂ | Dragon | LV3 (0/5)
Nickname: Gildas
Ability: Rock Head; Prevents recoil damage.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Dragon Rush (Dragon), Rage (Normal)
Details: Originally owned by usedember, the little Bagon found his way to Hiro after Spyro left Johto. Gildas is a playful little dragon, and like his original trainer before him, the Bagon enjoys ramming his head everywhere he can - and not just off of cliffs, but at sheeps especially. If there's a game to play, this little Bagon will most surely be there, but he's as loyal as they come and won't get into any trouble at all.
DITTO | Normal | LV30 (0/5)
Nickname: Kururu
Ability: Limber; Prevents Paralysis
Status: In-Party
Moves: Transform (Normal)
Details: Originally owned by attractseasily, the little Ditto that Hiro often played with when its trainer was still around eventually found its way to Hiro once Mikuru had left. A sneaky little thing, most of the time, this Ditto has actually replaced Hiro's headphones and is riding up top - and most probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference (except for Hiro who would know he's carrying his headphones in his pack) - and playing around using its transformation ability. Though one might thing this is a power that could be used for evil, there's nothing evil about this sweet little Ditto.

Details: Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (April 11); hatched in Violet City at Level 1 (April 16). Garuda, though he feels like the youngest of the "demon" team, works hard to prove himself like Gozuki, and was enamored with Hiro at first sight. He's the little "go-getter" of the team and is always up and at 'em for a fight. Whether it was out of respect, a sort of rivalry, or perhaps parental admiration, it remains to be seen; regardless, however, the little chicken knows who's boss and won't let that boss down.
CRANIDOS ♂ | Rock | LV20 (0/5)
Nickname: Taotie
Ability: Mold Breaker; Negates enemy abilities that would prevent or weaken attacks.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Headbutt (Normal), Leer (Normal), Focus Energy (Normal), Pursuit (Dark), Take Down (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The hard-headed, stubborn member of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. When Taotie gets an idea into his head, not only does it stick there, he makes sure to ram it into and through the wall of reality so it's seen through to the end. Luckily (or unluckily) for the wall of reality, usually his ideas are just Pendragon and Hiro's, and so long as he doesn't already have something in mind, he can be surprisingly obedient to those he's loyal to.
GIBLE ♂ | Dragon/Ground | LV21 (0/5)
Nickname: Pendragon
Ability: Sand Veil; Evasion is boosted in a sandstorm.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Sand Attack (Ground), Dragon Rage (Dragon), Sandstorm (Rock), Take Down (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The cunning leader of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. Unlike Belzilla's particular brand of leadership and deviousness, Pendragon lives up to his looks and likes to be a shark about things. He lurks below the surface, waiting for the perfect moment to strike, and when he does, he rips a huge chunk out that you can never recover from. ... Of course, as scary as it sounds, most of the time these things don't amount to much more than pranks that rival Belzilla's - in this regard, the two of them are fierce competitors, with most of Hiro's Pokemon "working" for Belzilla and Taotie and Behemoth loyally siding with Pendragon.
HIPPOPOTAS ♂ | Ground | LV20 (0/5)
Nickname: Behemoth
Ability: Sand Stream; Creates a sandstorm.
Status: In-Party.
Moves: Slack Off (Normal), Tackle (Normal), Sand Attack (Ground), Bite (Dark), Yawn (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Cherrygrove City (April 24); hatched on Route 31 at Level 1 (April 28). The easygoing, fun-loving member of the Taotie-Pendragon-Behemoth trio. Given his usual personality, friendly and cheerful, you would expect a Pokemon like Behemoth to stay far, far away from a Pokemon like Pendragon; despite this, it seems even with how kind and sweet he is, he also is very loyal to the Gible he was raised with, and even takes a little amusement in the things Pendragon does and gets into.
FROSLASS ♀ | Ice | LV20 (3/5)
Nickname: Yuki Jyorou
Ability: Inner Focus; Flinching is prevented.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Powder Snow (Ice), Leer (Normal), Double Team (Normal)
Details: Recieved as an egg in Violet City (May 1); hatched in the Ruins of Alph at Level 1 (May 8). Not unlike Laksmi, Yuki Jyorou has an "elegant" air about her, but unlike Laksmi, Yuki is not afraid to get her hands dirty, and is in fact very cold and brutal in her way of thinking. Her "God", in her mind, is Hiro, and she is a priestess sent to worship him. Perhaps this is Hiro's fault for telling her about demons and his battle ith the Bels while she was still in an egg, but regardless, he's everything to her.
NATU ♀ | Psychic/Flying | LV18 (0/5)
Nickname: Rangda
Ability: Synchronize; When this Pokemon obtains a status problem, the foe obtains one as well.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Peck (Flying), Leer (Normal), Night Shade (Ghost), Teleport (Psychic), Lucky Chant (Normal), Miracle Eye (Psychic)
Details: Met in the Ruins of Alph at Level 15 (May 8). Hiro caught Rangda expecting a fun, perky bird like Naoya's Natu - what he got was a creepy woman of mystery, who seemed to be fascinated with everything spooky and just plain wrong. She takes amusement in anything that goes wrong for Hiro, and the only sound she ever makes is a chirping laugh when something's gone wrong for Hiro. At almost all other times, she is simply silent: waiting to see how Hiro will entertain her next.
SMEARGLE ♂ | Normal | LV21 (0/5)
Nickname: Legion
Ability: Own Tempo; The Pokemon cannot become confused.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Sketch (Normal), Sketch (Normal), Sketch (Normal)
Details: Met in the Ruins of Alph at Level 15 (May 8). Truly the trickiest of Hiro's Pokemon, Legion seems to have as many personalities as he can have attacks. While at first glance he might seem like a loyal puppy, the next he could be as cunning as Pendragon or even as arrogant as Yatagarasu - even as loyal as Yuki if he decides to be. No one, not even Hiro, can tell what's on his mind, but he does know that the Smeargle will listen, which is good enough for him.
TENTACRUEL ♂ | Water/Poison | LV24 (1/5)
Nickname: Ym
Ability: Liquid Ooze; Draining causes injury.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Poison Sting (Poison), SuperSonic (Normal), Constrict (Normal), Acid (Poison), Toxic Spikes (Poison), BubbleBeam (Water), Wrap (Normal)
Details: Met in Olivine City at Level 22 (May 26). Though the circumstances involving Hiro and Ym coming together were anything but pleasant, this particular Tentacruel is actually a very old and wise creature, who now spends his time keeping Hiro's Pokemon in check when Hiro isn't looking. He's not exactly a "no nonsense" character, he's simply got more experience than most of Hiro's party put together and isn't afraid to make that clear to all of the youngins he's been put together with.
MAGMAR ♂ | Fire | LV19 (0/5)
Nickname: Flaemis
Ability: Flame Body; Contact with this Pokemon may induce a burn.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Smog (Poison), Leer (Normal), Ember (Fire), SmokeScreen (Normal), Faint Attack (Dark)
Details: Met in the Burned Tower at Level 17 (May 27). Though Hiro was initially exploring for the sake of exploring (and hoping to meet Vanitas), Hiro stumbled across this Magmar wandering around the basement and the two somehow hit it off really well. Though Hiro can't understand what he's saying, he can tell he's quite the joker (and not the trickster kind like a lot of his other Pokemon) and seems to get amusement out of everything. ... For some reason, he also wears sunglasses that he takes on and off at seemingly random times.
MARILL ♀ | Water | LV37 (2/5)
Nickname: Maroll
Ability: Huge Power; Attack Stat is raised.
Status: In-Party. Holding Everstone.
Moves: Tackle (Normal), Defense Curl (Normal), Tail Whip (Normal), Water Gun (Water), Rollout (Rock), Bubblebeam (Water), Aqua Ring (Water), Double-Edge (Normal), Rain Dance (Water)
Details: Originally met by frustratings in New Bark Town, later by Hiro in Cherrygrove City. When Sayaka left Johto, the little fat round thing rolled on over to join Hiro's team. Though she's an adorable little ball of fat, she hates being called as much, and she mostly rolls to get from place to place, which is something that both baffles and endlessly amuses Hiro and his team. Her curiosity is her strongest point, and while with Sayaka she balanced out the girl's angst - with Hiro she's a constant reminder of the good times he and the girl had, and how he'll definitely get her back so she can have another happy dream here in Johto for sure.
BAGON ♂ | Dragon | LV3 (0/5)
Nickname: Gildas
Ability: Rock Head; Prevents recoil damage.
Status: Boxed.
Moves: Dragon Rush (Dragon), Rage (Normal)
Details: Originally owned by usedember, the little Bagon found his way to Hiro after Spyro left Johto. Gildas is a playful little dragon, and like his original trainer before him, the Bagon enjoys ramming his head everywhere he can - and not just off of cliffs, but at sheeps especially. If there's a game to play, this little Bagon will most surely be there, but he's as loyal as they come and won't get into any trouble at all.
DITTO | Normal | LV30 (0/5)
Nickname: Kururu
Ability: Limber; Prevents Paralysis
Status: In-Party
Moves: Transform (Normal)
Details: Originally owned by attractseasily, the little Ditto that Hiro often played with when its trainer was still around eventually found its way to Hiro once Mikuru had left. A sneaky little thing, most of the time, this Ditto has actually replaced Hiro's headphones and is riding up top - and most probably wouldn't even be able to tell the difference (except for Hiro who would know he's carrying his headphones in his pack) - and playing around using its transformation ability. Though one might thing this is a power that could be used for evil, there's nothing evil about this sweet little Ditto.
