Unfortunately, this has created a highly stratified society where commoners aren't viewed very highly by members of the nobility. The Valliere family is noted to be much more courteous towards commoners and sympathetic toward their plights, but even they have a veneer of elitism that's culturally engrained.

[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/outsiders-pok%C3%A9mon-familiar-of-zero-crossover-reverse-summon.621934/ Outsiders]]is a LightNovel/TheFamiliarOfZero and Franchise/{{Pokemon}} crossover by [=xTRESTWHOx=].
When Louise Francoise le Blanc de la Vallière attempts to summon her familiar, she draws the attention of a powerful (and irritated) being: Arceus. Rather than allow one of his creations to be summoned by an impudent mage, he instead summons her to the Hall of Origin... and declares her unworthy. Not one to back down, Louise vows to ''prove'' herself worthy... and is given one year in the Pokémon world to do so.

!!This work of Fanfiction contains examples of:
* AchillesHeel: Poke Balls are tough for the most part, but the hinges are comparatively fragile compared to the rest of them.
* AdaptationalSpeciesChange: Sort of. In canon, Derflinger was a talking sword, while here he's a talking Honedge. [[spoiler:Brimir summoned a Honedge and, unaware it was a sentient creature, bound Derflinger to its body]].
* AdultFear: This is all over the place at the Academy after Louise disappears during her summoning attempt. And then her ''mother'' shows up...
* AlternateSelf:
** Saito and Louise encounter alternate versions of themselves working for Team Rainbow Rocket.
** After their battle with their counterparts, they see several other versions of them via the crystals in the Distortion World.
* AmbiguousGenderIdentity: Mew has been referred to with both feminine and gender-neutral pronouns. Mew's personal thoughts seem to indicate that Mew considers itself to be a girl, yet also has no issue transforming into a male Nidoran.
* AmbiguousSituation: It's left deliberately unclear whether or not the familiar Louise was trying to summon was specifically Saito, some other human from that world, or a Pokémon.
* AndNowForSomethingCompletelyDifferent: Chapter 2 of Season 2 takes us away from the exploits of Saito and Louise and back to Tristain right before Louise attempted her summoning, showing us what her disappearance looked like from an outsider's perspective.
* TheAristocrats: Deflinger relays a version he claims was Brimir's favorite dirty joke. We only hear the punchline, but it seriously sets Louise off.
* BeenThereShapedHistory: Derflinger seems to have been more actively involved in Earth's history compared to his time on Terre, having served the Kalos royal family during several formative wars.
* BerserkButton: Louise, as always, hates people mistaking her for a child, challenging a pair of swimmers to a battle after they assumed she was Saito’s kid sister. Another time, a Driftloon briefly kidnaps Louise to have a playmate, and Saito vows to never let her learn that the species only does that with young children.
* BigEater: Aile, Louise's Fletchling/Fletchinder, will take any opportunity to eat whatever she can. Frequently, she gets into trouble for this, but she does get better as time goes on.
** When the Mew that ends up at the Academy turns into a Munchlax, this is a given.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Brennaraki, as a shiny Fennekin, was highly sought after by collectors, which she hated as none of them cared that she really wanted to be a battler. Louise bonds with her over similar issues with being seen as a worthless mage only valuable for her noble blood.
* BrattyHalfPint: Maindo, Saito's Ralts, proves to be extremely difficult to get along with, frequently taunting his trainer and fellow Pokémon for seemingly no reason. At the same time, however, when the situation calls for it he is able to put his negativity aside and work with others.
* BreakTheHaughty: Maindo in ''Episode 15''. [[spoiler:After he cruelly mocks Louise for her screw-up with her Absol by making her go crazy after Megavolving and sending Louise running in tears, ''every'' Pokemon in the party gangs up on him afterwards. He runs away out of fear, which angers him immensely, and in his anger attempts to pick a fight with a Snorlax that he woke up during his ranting. Said Snorlax beats him with '''one hit''', hurting his already bruised ego]].
* TheCameo: Multiple characters from other series have shown up as minor characters. This includes Diego Brando, Donatello Versus, Ghiaccio, Guido Mista, and Foo Fighters from Manga/JoJosBizarreAdventure, Elphelt Valentine from Guilty Gear, numerous characters from Jurassic Park, as well as Scarecrow, Hunter, and Executioner from Girls' Frontline.
** In addition, several other [=JoJo=] characters have been obliquely referenced, including Jean Pierre Polnereff, Dr. Ferdinand, President Funny Valentine, Caesar Zepelli, Gyro Zepelli, the Pillar Men (via the Awaken theme), Rudol von Stroheim, and Doppio Vinegar.
** A pair of twins are met at a Skate Park, and their names are Toni and Hawk, much like the real life skateboard star.
* ColorBlindConfusion: Louise, thanks to being poisoned by a Toxapex, is rendered temporarily colorblind.
* TheComicallySerious: Saito's starter, an Oshawatt named Ronin, acts as though he were an actual samurai. The other Pokémon like to poke fun at this.
* CultureClash: Besides the technological differences, Louise is thrown for a loop a few times by the cultural differences between the two worlds, like how nobles aren't nearly as powerful. Saito even lampshades it when she tells him about Reconquista before she makes it clear how nuts they are.
* DarkerAndEdgier: When compared to the Pokémon anime. Battles are more brutal, injuries including cuts, bruises, and broken bones occur, and the trainers themselves sometimes fight alongside the Pokémon when facing the remains of Team Flare.
* DarkIsNotEvil: When the group ends up in the Distortion World, Derflinger admits that while Giratina is one of the creepiest Legendaries that he's ever met, he's not evil; he just doesn't like people being in his realm. He even manipulates the terrain so that lost groups will find each other and leave faster if he's feeling merciful.
* DemocracyIsBad: Averted, after being on Earth for a while, Louise admits to herself that she can see the advantages of democracy, and makes it clear to Saito that Reconquista's leaders have no intention of keeping the promises they're making when he notes that he doesn't see a problem with Albion becoming a representative democracy.
* {{Determinator}}: Both Géne and Tengu qualify after enduring a severe beating at the hands of a Mega Medicham and Mega Lucario, respectively, to give Louise and Saito their victories against Korrina, winning them their third Gym Badge.
* EvilCounterpart: Played with. During their trek through Reflection Cave, Saito and Louise end up running across alternate versions of themselves that turned bad and joined Team Rainbow Rocket. While they are working for a massive criminal enterprise, they're not portrayed as evil. In fact, they joined Team Rainbow Rocket in the first place out of a desire to prevent end of the world scenarios before they become a thing, and they express similar views on various subjects. Rainbow Louise even ends up helping her other counterpart in escaping the Distortion World, waiting until she woke up in order to put her in the right direction before leaving herself. The implication isn't that they were always evil. Rather, they had the same experiences that their main counterparts did but took different, harsher lessons from them that made them anti-heroes rather than heroes, a distinction that swayed them towards Team Rainbow Rocket's way of thinking and turned them into villains.
* EvilKnockoff: As it turns out, in an example where the thing being knocked off is evil as well, the reason so many regional crime groups are named "Team" something is because Team Rocket is so successful that other criminal organizations deliberately style themselves after them.
* FireForgedFriends: Louise and Saito, when they first meet, can't stand each other. After an attack by a horde of Beedrill, however, the two learn to work together and end up becoming best friends.
* FishOutOfWater: Louise is greatly shocked at just how different Earth is from Halkegenia, especially the lack of magic and the nobility lacking power. On the other hand, she quickly gets used to many of Earth's advanced luxuries, like electricity and the plumbing system, and intends to bring them back to Halkegenia. She initially spends a month with Professor Sycamore adjusting to everything, though she still gets astonished at commonplace items and attitudes on Earth every so often.
* FreudianSlip: After one of Espirit's BewareTheNiceOnes moments, Maindo lets slip that he found it cute. [[BrainBleach Everyone else present tries to forget they heard that]].
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Louise plans to bring knowledge of things like electricity and modern plumbing back to Halkagenia.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: The Pokédex has detailed information on every species of Pokémon currently recorded, making it an invaluable tool for a prospective trainer. Both Saito and Louise have one, Louise's looking more like a tablet whereas Saito's physically resembles a smartphone.
** It eventually gets revealed that Siesta herself has a Pokédex of her own. Unlike Saito's and Louise's, however, hers is instead a large physical book, which itself is a copy of the original volume created by her great-grandfather, who was a Pokémon Breeder before he arrived in Tristain.
* AGodAmI: Arceus declares himself one in the very first line. Accurate version.
* HistoryRepeats: Derflinger is able to easily guess how Reconquista came to power, and hints that he's seen something similar several times before.
* IdeaBulb: Well, Idea Candle really, but Louise has one right before having her team attack Korrina's Mega Medicham with Will-O-Wisp, giving her a gnarly burn.
* IneptMage: As in canon, Louise's... ''issues'' with her spellcasting kicks off the plot. While she learns of her true affinity much sooner than canon, Louise lacks a way to actually learn Void spells, so she's still stuck with just the misfiring Fireball spell.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Despite not summoning him as a familiar like in canon, Louise still meets Saito and Derflinger on her journey.
** In general it seems that Saito and Louise meeting each other ''somehow'' is a near-constant, given all the AlternateSelf versions they see in the Distortion World where they're companions, with only a few where they aren't.
* {{Jerkass}}: Maindo, Saito's Ralts, comes off as rude, arrogant and ''really'' doesn't like Saito or the others. He eventually crosses TheFriendNobodyLikes territory [[spoiler:and his behavior comes to bite him in the ass when Saito and Louise's Pokemon all gang up on him after he sends Louise running in tears after her blunder with her Absol's Megavolution]].
** [[spoiler:His Team Rainbow Rocket counterpart is somehow even ''worse''. Even the "main" Maindo is seriously disturbed]].
* KansasCityShuffle: Most of the remnants of Team Flare unite to mount a large-scale attack on Cyllage City, which doesn’t have anything warranting that kind of force. Multiple characters wonder just what Team Flare is really after, since many of the attacking grunts are bound to be arrested. [[spoiler:Turns out it was all a distraction, drawing attention and law enforcement away from the nearby prison where many of Flare’s elite members were held, allowing for an easy prison break.]]
* {{Lampshade}}: Pokémon designs, in this exchange:
-->'''Flare Grunt:''' “My Golbat is not an ‘it’! He’s a majestic creature!”\\
'''Louise:''' “He’s a flying mouth, that’s what he is!”\\
'''Flare Grunt:''' “HOW DARE YOU?!”
* LimbSensationFascination: When Tengu evolves into a Nuzleaf, the former Seedot takes a few moments to inspect her newly gained arms, hands, and even a mouth, none of which she had before.
* MuggingTheMonster: Maindo's first encounter with Saito was him trying to rob him by scaring him with illusions so he'd drop his stuff and run. Unfortunately for Maindo, Saito was a trainer, and he ended up captured when he could have gotten clean away if he had really tried.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: During the Team Flare attack on Cyllage City, Louise got poisoned by a Toxipex and insists on continuing despite that. Elizabeth, who was with her, allowed her to despite initially trying to make her leave. Though at first she believes she isn’t at fault, a talk with her agent causes her to realize that she really should’ve done more to stop Louise.
* MyParentsAreDead: It gets revealed that Maindo's mother died when he was young, an event that he witnessed and subsequently shaped his sour outlook.
* MundaneUtility: Fire-type Pokémon can launch massive blasts of flame at their opponents, create walls of fire to encircle the foe, or shroud themselves with a blaze to add to their strength... they're also great for lighting campfires.
* NeverMyFault: As Saito and Derflinger point out to Maindo, he really has no one else to blame for being captured by Saito, since he ''came back'' after running away from his failed attempt to rob Saito, only to get caught, he could have been released if he had just ''asked'', and if he ''really'' wanted to escape or destroy his Poke Ball, he could have done so easily (he can ''teleport'', after all). This ticks Louise off even further when she learns about it, since she knows what being a victim is ''really'' like from being bullied back home.
* OldMaster: Gurkinn is famously known as the Mega Evolution Guru. He knows more about the phenomenon that is Mega Evolution than anyone else, even if Sycamore understands it more in a scientific sense. He ends up giving Louise sage advice on the true reason why her attempt at mega evolution with Auspice failed. Namely, Louise didn't fully understand herself and hasn't fully acknowledged who she truly is. He tells her that if she is to have any hope of mastering Mega Evolution, she has to understand and accept herself.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Tristain Academy of Magic is hit with two in short order.
** The first is Louise's reverse summoning. Simply put, the act of Louise being pulled through the summoning portal herself rather than her familiar being brought to her is unprecedented in the academy's entire history. Her disappearance sends the entire faculty in a panic as they try to figure out a way to bring her back, latching onto a theorized spell that Brimir came up with towards the end of his life as their only hope.
** The second is Mew deciding to pop in and make the academy into her own personal playground. None of the teachers or students have ever seen or heard of a Pokémon, much less a Mythical Pokémon such as Mew. Combine that with her trollish and childlike behavior that's entirely focused on having as much fun as possible, and you have a situation that no one knows how to handle. Luckily, Mew isn't actively malicious and isn't trying to hurt anyone, so her presence is really more of an extreme annoyance than anything.
* PassThePopcorn: Malicorne watches Guiche's one-sided "fight" with Mew in the form of an Alolan Dugtrio with a slice of cake before Mew steals it.
* PlanetTerra: To differentiate the two dimensions, the ''Pokémon'' world is referred to as Earth while the ''Familiar'' world is Terre.
* PoorCommunicationKills:
** Sycamore never got around to informing the authorities about Louise being from another world, so she and Saito fell under suspicion from the authorities due to their repeated run-ins with Team Flare before they clear things up with Agent Smith. Louise is rather ticked to realize this.
** Maindo's {{Jerkass}} behavior was partially because he wanted to be released, and didn't think that Saito would let him go unless he was more trouble than he was worth. As Saito points out, as a Psychic-Type and TheEmpath, Maindo can tell if he's lying, then says he would have let him go if he had just asked. In fact, Saito had actually ''repeatedly'' considered the possibility that Maindo had wanted to be released, but kept disregarding it because he assumed that Maindo couldn't be ''stupid'' enough [[StatingTheSimpleSolution not to try the simplest solution]].
** [[spoiler:Brimir didn't realize that the Honedge that he'd summoned was sentient, and ended up ripping its soul out to save Derflinger. The Holy Land was a desert once Arceus and the other Legendaries were through with him.]]
** Given how accepting of everything Gène appeared to be up to that point, Louise honestly thought taking him to browse evolution stones to get an idea of what he wanted to evolve into, with no intention of actually choosing anything at that point, would be perfectly fine. Instead, Gène gets overwhelmed and almost has a panic attack at the prospect of making such an irreversible decision. Louise later admits that she was wrong to do that.
** When Louise made her challenge to Arceus, neither party thought to inform anyone back in Tristain what happened, causing panic when Louise seems to vanish into thin air during her summoning.
* PowersViaPossession: One Team Flare member used his ''own body'' as a Keystone for his Spiritomb, allowing him to use its moves.
* PragmaticVillainy: Saito notes that unlike the more crazy criminal teams out there, like Team Aqua and Team Magma, or Team Galactic, Team Rocket focuses on organized crime over terrorism, which is probably why they're still around.
* TheQuietOne: Saito's Seedot, Tengu, tends to be very quiet and mellow. Maindo is especially annoyed that his {{Troll}} antics don't get a reaction out of her.
* RecursiveFanfiction: ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/outsiders-pok%C3%A9mon-familiar-of-zero-crossover-reverse-summon.621934/page-85#post-69666090 The Poké Adventures of Zero And RWBY]]'', a crossover with ''Fanfic/BoldoresandBoomsticks''.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense:Coming from a privileged lifestyle, Louise sometimes has trouble remembering that no one here knows who she is and that her funds are much more limited. She buys every single TM and insists on getting only the highest-quality healing items, ignoring Sycamore's protests that it's massively impractical. She does get better after figuring out the store essentially scammed her, though Saito frequently ribs her for it.
* TheRival: Louise, in typical Pokémon fashion, has one in the form of Elizabeth Collete, a wealthy Pokémon collector who tried to purchase Louise's starter from Professor Sycamore. She goes through a BreakTheHaughty phase and starts to mellow out, but she and Louise still don't get along.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Brimir accidentally [[spoiler:destroyed a Honedge's soul]], Arceus ''and all the legendaries'' retaliated, reducing the Holy Land to a desert.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both subverted and averted.
** Averted with Princess Allie, who frequently orders around her servants with no regard towards them and expects things to be given to her just because she demands it. In contrast, Wikstrom Thyméo is revealed to be nobility, one who not only exemplifies what nobles are supposed to do in Louise's eyes, but also eschews the entire concept. The conversation he has with Louise helps to shape her evolving viewpoint on the institution itself.
** Princess Henrietta is somewhat of a subversion as well. Despite only being Princess rather than Queen, Henrietta was forced to effectively step into the role after her father suddenly passed away the year prior and her mother was consumed by grief and unable to perform her duties. Unlike Princess Allie, Henrietta genuinely wants to perform her duties as Queen of Tristain, not just Queen of Tristain's Nobles, and frequently tries to push policies to benefit commoners. But due to both being extremely inexperienced and untrained in the art of noble politicking before being thrust into a role she wasn't adequately trained for, along with extreme political resistance to her views, she hasn't been nearly effective as she wished she was. This has led to many of her preconceptions about Tristain's nobility being shattered, and no longer views most of them in as high standing as she used to.
* ShapeshifterModeLock: A Honedge can shift themselves to look other kinds of blades, like a female one that became a RoyalRapier, but they can only do so once and then they're stuck.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the alternate versions of herself that Louise sees is one that apparently has Shirou as a familiar, presumably from ''Fanfic/TheHillOfSwords.'' Another shows Saito and Louise dealing with a zombie apocolypse, a reference to the author's other work ''Fanfic/FamiliarEvil''.
** When Mew finds out that Siesta not only knows what she is but also what Pokémon are, Mew decides to test that knowledge in a game of "Who's that Pokémon?"
* SleepCute: Aw, look at the fluffy little fox curled up with her trainer in their sleeping bag...
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: As Saito and Derflinger pointed out to him, Maindo could have easily ''told'' someone that he didn't want to be a part of Saito's team, or even just ran way, but his {{Pride}} and assumption that Saito wouldn't let him go meant that he ramped his {{Jerkass}} behavior UpToEleven so Saito would consider him more trouble than he was worth and release him. Saito even lampshades that he thought a few times that Maindo might not want to be a part of the team, but assumed that he wasn't so ''stupid'' that he wouldn't just say something.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: [[spoiler:Rainbow!Brimir]] tried attacking Arceus rather than talking. It didn't end well.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The newborn [[spoiler:Skarmory]] that hatches from Saito's egg is smaller than an adult, unlike what happens in the games.
** After said hatching, Saito and Louise are advised by a Joy not to have the newborn in question participate in any serious training or battling for a while, noting that while there are some exceptions, it usually does more harm than good for such young Pokémon, with it possibly causing developmental issues down the line.
** Korrina used to have her Gym Battles in the basement of the Tower of Mastery, but between the explosions disrupting her grandfather's research and the fact that it was hard to reach when the tide was in, they ended up moving to a new building.
* TeamMom: Espirit, Louise's Ralts/Kirlia, proves to be this. Both the emotionally supportive kind as well as the terrifying kind.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Both Saito and Louise have this reaction when they learn the specifics of Korrina's Gym Challenge. Namely, they have to pit their entire teams against a ''single'' Mega Evolution. Given how disastrous their prior experiences with mega evolution were, they immediately know they're in for a rough time.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Maindo decides to cause chaos at Parfum Palace after the rest of the group leaves, and gets Tanuki and Aile to help out when they're sent to find him. It doesn't help that Tanuki is already a prankster and Aile is easily bribed with food, and they all agree that Princess Allie is an AssholeVictim. Espirit [[WhatTheHellHero tears them all a new one]] once they get back, especially since the group ran into trouble while they were gone.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Louise, due to her being taken to Earth courtesy of Arceus. In contrast to many other similar works, there is no rush to find a way home as it's made clear at the beginning that Louise's time in Kalos will only last a year.
* {{Troll}}:
** A Mew that ends up at the Academy spends some time messing with Colbert, staying directly behind him the whole time so he can't see them. Afterward, it takes some of Tabitha's books, solely to see what all the fuss with people reading them (to try and find a way to get Louise back) was about, but after Tabitha and Kirche noticed they were missing it decides against putting them back just to see what happens.
** Kirche eventually came to genuinely enjoy getting under Louise's skin.
* ToBeAMaster: The goal of both Louise and Saito. Both want to become champion of the Kalos Pokémon League, however whereas Saito wants to win due to a missed opportunity from his childhood, Louise wants to win because she believes that is how she'll prove her worth to Arceus.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Zigzagged in regards to Louise's TrappedInAnotherWorld status. On one hand, normal Trainers like Saito initially don't believe Louise's story because it's so outlandish, and need more proof despite seeing her magic in action. On the other hand, more learned characters like Professor Sycamore [[spoiler:and Interpool agent Smith]] have no trouble believing her, as they're aware of this sort of thing happening previously with the Ultra Wormholes.
* VillainsActHeroesReact: Rainbow!Saito points out that despite the fact that TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed, no one seems to be proactively trying to prevent rampaging Legendaries or attempting to stop other threats before they actually become problems. Part of why he joined the group is because he believes that they are the best option for dealing with said threats before they become a serious problem instead of simply dealing with each as it comes along.
* WalkingDisasterArea: Terrorist attacks and other worrying incidents tend to happen when Louise is around, to the point where an Absol decides to join her team just to mitigate the damage from future events and Interpol actually thought the party was working for Team Plasma.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Louise is very confident that Viola won't be too difficult, since she's just the first Gym Leader and both Brennaraki (a Fennekin) and Aile (a Fletchling) have type advantage, while ignoring the fact that she's only been a Trainer for a week. Viola's Surskit subsequently knocks out both of her Pokemon while taking little damage in return, making Louise realize that her goal is going to be much harder than she assumed.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Rainbow!Saito joined the group in part because TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed, and he believes that Team Rainbow Rocket is the best option for maintaining order. The rest of it's because he wanted to join the "winning team".
* TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed: Lampshaded by Rainbow!Saito. He and his Louise did the math, and found that the world was nearly devastated (or outright destroyed), with catastrophe averted by sheer luck and the happenstance of having a plucky trainer be in the right place to stop it, ''twenty-two times'' in just the last ''seven years''. This is part of why he and the alternate Louise joined Team Rainbow Rocket in the first place, believing that they can do the best job to stop these threats before they become a problem.
* WrongContextMagic: Louise’s magical abilities generally serve as proof that there’s some truth to her claims about being from another world.
** Additionally, a combination of her Void affinity and residual energy from being transferred across universes energizes any Mega Stone Louise has prolonged contact with, allowing for Mega Evolution without a Key Stone. She has no control over this, however, and resolves to avoid touching Mega Stones at all after a wild Beedrill Mega Evolves from a Beedrillite she was transporting and nearly kills her.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Arceus has Dialga modify the rate time passes on Earth relative to Terre. Louise is given one year to prove herself, though only one week will pass in her home.
* YouFightLikeACow: Maindo enjoys insulting others, and he takes every chance to mock opponents in battle. However, he often gets so caught up in the insults that he doesn't pay attention to what his opponent is actually doing.
* ZombieApocalypse: One alternate world that Saito and Louise see via the Distortion World is in the middle of one.

While they are working for a massive criminal enterprise, they're not portrayed as evil. In fact, they joined Team Rainbow Rocket in the first place out of a desire to prevent end of the world scenarios before they become a thing, and they express similar views on various subjects. Rainbow Louise even ends up helping her other counterpart in escaping the Distortion World, waiting until she woke up in order to put her in the right direction before leaving herself. The implication isn't that they were always evil. Rather, they had the same experiences that their main counterparts did but took different, harsher lessons from them that made them anti-heroes rather than heroes, a distinction that swayed them towards Team Rainbow Rocket's way of thinking and turned them into villains.
* EvilKnockoff: As it turns out, in an example where the thing being knocked off is evil as well, the reason so many regional crime groups are named "Team" something is because Team Rocket is so successful that other criminal organizations deliberately style themselves after them.
* FireForgedFriends: Louise and Saito, when they first meet, can't stand each other. After an attack by a horde of Beedrill, however, the two learn to work together and end up becoming best friends.
* FishOutOfWater: Louise is greatly shocked at just how different Earth is from Halkegenia, especially the lack of magic and the nobility lacking power. On the other hand, she quickly gets used to many of Earth's advanced luxuries, like electricity and the plumbing system, and intends to bring them back to Halkegenia. She initially spends a month with Professor Sycamore adjusting to everything, though she still gets astonished at commonplace items and attitudes on Earth every so often.
* FreudianSlip: After one of Espirit's BewareTheNiceOnes moments, Maindo lets slip that he found it cute. [[BrainBleach Everyone else present tries to forget they heard that]].
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: Louise plans to bring knowledge of things like electricity and modern plumbing back to Halkagenia.
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: The Pokédex has detailed information on every species of Pokémon currently recorded, making it an invaluable tool for a prospective trainer. Both Saito and Louise have one, Louise's looking more like a tablet whereas Saito's physically resembles a smartphone.
** It eventually gets revealed that Siesta herself has a Pokédex of her own. Unlike Saito's and Louise's, however, hers is instead a large physical book, which itself is a copy of the original volume created by her great-grandfather, who was a Pokémon Breeder before he arrived in Tristain.
* AGodAmI: Arceus declares himself one in the very first line. Accurate version.
* HistoryRepeats: Derflinger is able to easily guess how Reconquista came to power, and hints that he's seen something similar several times before.
* IdeaBulb: Well, Idea Candle really, but Louise has one right before having her team attack Korrina's Mega Medicham with Will-O-Wisp, giving her a gnarly burn.
* IneptMage: As in canon, Louise's... ''issues'' with her spellcasting kicks off the plot. While she learns of her true affinity much sooner than canon, Louise lacks a way to actually learn Void spells, so she's still stuck with just the misfiring Fireball spell.
* InSpiteOfANail:
** Despite not summoning him as a familiar like in canon, Louise still meets Saito and Derflinger on her journey.
** In general it seems that Saito and Louise meeting each other ''somehow'' is a near-constant, given all the AlternateSelf versions they see in the Distortion World where they're companions, with only a few where they aren't.
* {{Jerkass}}: Maindo, Saito's Ralts, comes off as rude, arrogant and ''really'' doesn't like Saito or the others. He eventually crosses TheFriendNobodyLikes territory [[spoiler:and his behavior comes to bite him in the ass when Saito and Louise's Pokemon all gang up on him after he sends Louise running in tears after her blunder with her Absol's Megavolution]].
** [[spoiler:His Team Rainbow Rocket counterpart is somehow even ''worse''. Even the "main" Maindo is seriously disturbed]].
* KansasCityShuffle: Most of the remnants of Team Flare unite to mount a large-scale attack on Cyllage City, which doesn’t have anything warranting that kind of force. Multiple characters wonder just what Team Flare is really after, since many of the attacking grunts are bound to be arrested. [[spoiler:Turns out it was all a distraction, drawing attention and law enforcement away from the nearby prison where many of Flare’s elite members were held, allowing for an easy prison break.]]
* {{Lampshade}}: Pokémon designs, in this exchange:
-->'''Flare Grunt:''' “My Golbat is not an ‘it’! He’s a majestic creature!”\\
'''Louise:''' “He’s a flying mouth, that’s what he is!”\\
'''Flare Grunt:''' “HOW DARE YOU?!”
* LimbSensationFascination: When Tengu evolves into a Nuzleaf, the former Seedot takes a few moments to inspect her newly gained arms, hands, and even a mouth, none of which she had before.
* MuggingTheMonster: Maindo's first encounter with Saito was him trying to rob him by scaring him with illusions so he'd drop his stuff and run. Unfortunately for Maindo, Saito was a trainer, and he ended up captured when he could have gotten clean away if he had really tried.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: During the Team Flare attack on Cyllage City, Louise got poisoned by a Toxipex and insists on continuing despite that. Elizabeth, who was with her, allowed her to despite initially trying to make her leave. Though at first she believes she isn’t at fault, a talk with her agent causes her to realize that she really should’ve done more to stop Louise.
* MyParentsAreDead: It gets revealed that Maindo's mother died when he was young, an event that he witnessed and subsequently shaped his sour outlook.
* MundaneUtility: Fire-type Pokémon can launch massive blasts of flame at their opponents, create walls of fire to encircle the foe, or shroud themselves with a blaze to add to their strength... they're also great for lighting campfires.
* NeverMyFault: As Saito and Derflinger point out to Maindo, he really has no one else to blame for being captured by Saito, since he ''came back'' after running away from his failed attempt to rob Saito, only to get caught, he could have been released if he had just ''asked'', and if he ''really'' wanted to escape or destroy his Poke Ball, he could have done so easily (he can ''teleport'', after all). This ticks Louise off even further when she learns about it, since she knows what being a victim is ''really'' like from being bullied back home.
* OldMaster: Gurkinn is famously known as the Mega Evolution Guru. He knows more about the phenomenon that is Mega Evolution than anyone else, even if Sycamore understands it more in a scientific sense. He ends up giving Louise sage advice on the true reason why her attempt at mega evolution with Auspice failed. Namely, Louise didn't fully understand herself and hasn't fully acknowledged who she truly is. He tells her that if she is to have any hope of mastering Mega Evolution, she has to understand and accept herself.
* OutsideContextProblem: The Tristain Academy of Magic is hit with two in short order.
** The first is Louise's reverse summoning. Simply put, the act of Louise being pulled through the summoning portal herself rather than her familiar being brought to her is unprecedented in the academy's entire history. Her disappearance sends the entire faculty in a panic as they try to figure out a way to bring her back, latching onto a theorized spell that Brimir came up with towards the end of his life as their only hope.
** The second is Mew deciding to pop in and make the academy into her own personal playground. None of the teachers or students have ever seen or heard of a Pokémon, much less a Mythical Pokémon such as Mew. Combine that with her trollish and childlike behavior that's entirely focused on having as much fun as possible, and you have a situation that no one knows how to handle. Luckily, Mew isn't actively malicious and isn't trying to hurt anyone, so her presence is really more of an extreme annoyance than anything.
* PassThePopcorn: Malicorne watches Guiche's one-sided "fight" with Mew in the form of an Alolan Dugtrio with a slice of cake before Mew steals it.
* PlanetTerra: To differentiate the two dimensions, the ''Pokémon'' world is referred to as Earth while the ''Familiar'' world is Terre.
* PoorCommunicationKills:
** Sycamore never got around to informing the authorities about Louise being from another world, so she and Saito fell under suspicion from the authorities due to their repeated run-ins with Team Flare before they clear things up with Agent Smith. Louise is rather ticked to realize this.
** Maindo's {{Jerkass}} behavior was partially because he wanted to be released, and didn't think that Saito would let him go unless he was more trouble than he was worth. As Saito points out, as a Psychic-Type and TheEmpath, Maindo can tell if he's lying, then says he would have let him go if he had just asked. In fact, Saito had actually ''repeatedly'' considered the possibility that Maindo had wanted to be released, but kept disregarding it because he assumed that Maindo couldn't be ''stupid'' enough [[StatingTheSimpleSolution not to try the simplest solution]].
** [[spoiler:Brimir didn't realize that the Honedge that he'd summoned was sentient, and ended up ripping its soul out to save Derflinger. The Holy Land was a desert once Arceus and the other Legendaries were through with him.]]
** Given how accepting of everything Gène appeared to be up to that point, Louise honestly thought taking him to browse evolution stones to get an idea of what he wanted to evolve into, with no intention of actually choosing anything at that point, would be perfectly fine. Instead, Gène gets overwhelmed and almost has a panic attack at the prospect of making such an irreversible decision. Louise later admits that she was wrong to do that.
** When Louise made her challenge to Arceus, neither party thought to inform anyone back in Tristain what happened, causing panic when Louise seems to vanish into thin air during her summoning.
* PowersViaPossession: One Team Flare member used his ''own body'' as a Keystone for his Spiritomb, allowing him to use its moves.
* PragmaticVillainy: Saito notes that unlike the more crazy criminal teams out there, like Team Aqua and Team Magma, or Team Galactic, Team Rocket focuses on organized crime over terrorism, which is probably why they're still around.
* TheQuietOne: Saito's Seedot, Tengu, tends to be very quiet and mellow. Maindo is especially annoyed that his {{Troll}} antics don't get a reaction out of her.
* RecursiveFanfiction: ''[[https://forums.spacebattles.com/threads/outsiders-pok%C3%A9mon-familiar-of-zero-crossover-reverse-summon.621934/page-85#post-69666090 The Poké Adventures of Zero And RWBY]]'', a crossover with ''Fanfic/BoldoresandBoomsticks''.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense:Coming from a privileged lifestyle, Louise sometimes has trouble remembering that no one here knows who she is and that her funds are much more limited. She buys every single TM and insists on getting only the highest-quality healing items, ignoring Sycamore's protests that it's massively impractical. She does get better after figuring out the store essentially scammed her, though Saito frequently ribs her for it.
* TheRival: Louise, in typical Pokémon fashion, has one in the form of Elizabeth Collete, a wealthy Pokémon collector who tried to purchase Louise's starter from Professor Sycamore. She goes through a BreakTheHaughty phase and starts to mellow out, but she and Louise still don't get along.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: After Brimir accidentally [[spoiler:destroyed a Honedge's soul]], Arceus ''and all the legendaries'' retaliated, reducing the Holy Land to a desert.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Both subverted and averted.
** Averted with Princess Allie, who frequently orders around her servants with no regard towards them and expects things to be given to her just because she demands it. In contrast, Wikstrom Thyméo is revealed to be nobility, one who not only exemplifies what nobles are supposed to do in Louise's eyes, but also eschews the entire concept. The conversation he has with Louise helps to shape her evolving viewpoint on the institution itself.
** Princess Henrietta is somewhat of a subversion as well. Despite only being Princess rather than Queen, Henrietta was forced to effectively step into the role after her father suddenly passed away the year prior and her mother was consumed by grief and unable to perform her duties. Unlike Princess Allie, Henrietta genuinely wants to perform her duties as Queen of Tristain, not just Queen of Tristain's Nobles, and frequently tries to push policies to benefit commoners. But due to both being extremely inexperienced and untrained in the art of noble politicking before being thrust into a role she wasn't adequately trained for, along with extreme political resistance to her views, she hasn't been nearly effective as she wished she was. This has led to many of her preconceptions about Tristain's nobility being shattered, and no longer views most of them in as high standing as she used to.
* ShapeshifterModeLock: A Honedge can shift themselves to look other kinds of blades, like a female one that became a RoyalRapier, but they can only do so once and then they're stuck.
* ShoutOut:
** One of the alternate versions of herself that Louise sees is one that apparently has Shirou as a familiar, presumably from ''Fanfic/TheHillOfSwords.'' Another shows Saito and Louise dealing with a zombie apocolypse, a reference to the author's other work ''Fanfic/FamiliarEvil''.
** When Mew finds out that Siesta not only knows what she is but also what Pokémon are, Mew decides to test that knowledge in a game of "Who's that Pokémon?"
* SleepCute: Aw, look at the fluffy little fox curled up with her trainer in their sleeping bag...
* StatingTheSimpleSolution: As Saito and Derflinger pointed out to him, Maindo could have easily ''told'' someone that he didn't want to be a part of Saito's team, or even just ran way, but his {{Pride}} and assumption that Saito wouldn't let him go meant that he ramped his {{Jerkass}} behavior UpToEleven so Saito would consider him more trouble than he was worth and release him. Saito even lampshades that he thought a few times that Maindo might not want to be a part of the team, but assumed that he wasn't so ''stupid'' that he wouldn't just say something.
* SuicidalOverconfidence: [[spoiler:Rainbow!Brimir]] tried attacking Arceus rather than talking. It didn't end well.
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** The newborn [[spoiler:Skarmory]] that hatches from Saito's egg is smaller than an adult, unlike what happens in the games.
** After said hatching, Saito and Louise are advised by a Joy not to have the newborn in question participate in any serious training or battling for a while, noting that while there are some exceptions, it usually does more harm than good for such young Pokémon, with it possibly causing developmental issues down the line.
** Korrina used to have her Gym Battles in the basement of the Tower of Mastery, but between the explosions disrupting her grandfather's research and the fact that it was hard to reach when the tide was in, they ended up moving to a new building.
* TeamMom: Espirit, Louise's Ralts/Kirlia, proves to be this. Both the emotionally supportive kind as well as the terrifying kind.
* ThisIsGonnaSuck: Both Saito and Louise have this reaction when they learn the specifics of Korrina's Gym Challenge. Namely, they have to pit their entire teams against a ''single'' Mega Evolution. Given how disastrous their prior experiences with mega evolution were, they immediately know they're in for a rough time.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Maindo decides to cause chaos at Parfum Palace after the rest of the group leaves, and gets Tanuki and Aile to help out when they're sent to find him. It doesn't help that Tanuki is already a prankster and Aile is easily bribed with food, and they all agree that Princess Allie is an AssholeVictim. Espirit [[WhatTheHellHero tears them all a new one]] once they get back, especially since the group ran into trouble while they were gone.
* TrappedInAnotherWorld: Louise, due to her being taken to Earth courtesy of Arceus. In contrast to many other similar works, there is no rush to find a way home as it's made clear at the beginning that Louise's time in Kalos will only last a year.
* {{Troll}}:
** A Mew that ends up at the Academy spends some time messing with Colbert, staying directly behind him the whole time so he can't see them. Afterward, it takes some of Tabitha's books, solely to see what all the fuss with people reading them (to try and find a way to get Louise back) was about, but after Tabitha and Kirche noticed they were missing it decides against putting them back just to see what happens.
** Kirche eventually came to genuinely enjoy getting under Louise's skin.
* ToBeAMaster: The goal of both Louise and Saito. Both want to become champion of the Kalos Pokémon League, however whereas Saito wants to win due to a missed opportunity from his childhood, Louise wants to win because she believes that is how she'll prove her worth to Arceus.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Zigzagged in regards to Louise's TrappedInAnotherWorld status. On one hand, normal Trainers like Saito initially don't believe Louise's story because it's so outlandish, and need more proof despite seeing her magic in action. On the other hand, more learned characters like Professor Sycamore [[spoiler:and Interpool agent Smith]] have no trouble believing her, as they're aware of this sort of thing happening previously with the Ultra Wormholes.
* VillainsActHeroesReact: Rainbow!Saito points out that despite the fact that TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed, no one seems to be proactively trying to prevent rampaging Legendaries or attempting to stop other threats before they actually become problems. Part of why he joined the group is because he believes that they are the best option for dealing with said threats before they become a serious problem instead of simply dealing with each as it comes along.
* WalkingDisasterArea: Terrorist attacks and other worrying incidents tend to happen when Louise is around, to the point where an Absol decides to join her team just to mitigate the damage from future events and Interpol actually thought the party was working for Team Plasma.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Louise is very confident that Viola won't be too difficult, since she's just the first Gym Leader and both Brennaraki (a Fennekin) and Aile (a Fletchling) have type advantage, while ignoring the fact that she's only been a Trainer for a week. Viola's Surskit subsequently knocks out both of her Pokemon while taking little damage in return, making Louise realize that her goal is going to be much harder than she assumed.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Rainbow!Saito joined the group in part because TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed, and he believes that Team Rainbow Rocket is the best option for maintaining order. The rest of it's because he wanted to join the "winning team".
* TheWorldIsAlwaysDoomed: Lampshaded by Rainbow!Saito. He and his Louise did the math, and found that the world was nearly devastated (or outright destroyed), with catastrophe averted by sheer luck and the happenstance of having a plucky trainer be in the right place to stop it, ''twenty-two times'' in just the last ''seven years''. This is part of why he and the alternate Louise joined Team Rainbow Rocket in the first place, believing that they can do the best job to stop these threats before they become a problem.
* WrongContextMagic: Louise’s magical abilities generally serve as proof that there’s some truth to her claims about being from another world.
** Additionally, a combination of her Void affinity and residual energy from being transferred across universes energizes any Mega Stone Louise has prolonged contact with, allowing for Mega Evolution without a Key Stone. She has no control over this, however, and resolves to avoid touching Mega Stones at all after a wild Beedrill Mega Evolves from a Beedrillite she was transporting and nearly kills her.
* YearInsideHourOutside: Arceus has Dialga modify the rate time passes on Earth relative to Terre. Louise is given one year to prove herself, though only one week will pass in her home.
* YouFightLikeACow: Maindo enjoys insulting others, and he takes every chance to mock opponents in battle. However, he often gets so caught up in the insults that he doesn't pay attention to what his opponent is actually doing.
* ZombieApocalypse: One alternate world that Saito and Louise see via the Distortion World is in the middle of one.
