Thanks to Ash, their issues were settled. They still don't like to get near each other, given their history. This Mew is the "parent" of Mewtwo, who came to be through cloning it. Speaking of Ash, Ash decided to have one of his friends, Goh, become Mew's herald. The two's relationship reasoning is because Goh's GoalInLife is to see Mew and have the future "in the palm of his hands". Mew actually humored Goh by actually ''landing in his open hand'' before disappearing because they found him interesting.

* Gautham Ranganathan was once an aspiring game designer and programmer who sought to shape the [=CrossWorlds=] MMORPG into a splendorous experience rich in worldbuilding and challenge for its players. With fellow coworkers Sergey, Satoshi, and Shizuka, he hoped to make his dreams come true. However, Instatainment didn't exactly provide decent funding or support for Satoshi's Evotar project, and that was when a man named Benedict Sidwell began to mess everything up. He set up a deal with Satoshi and friends to create a new server within Instatainment's Playground to continue work on Evotars. However, Sidwell saw a twisted purpose in the Evotars that Satoshi and Gautham were working on: to extract the memories from the Evotars' real-life counterparts and sell the information. Before they knew it, Satoshi, Gautham, and Shizuka (Sergey never left Instatainment and took the deal) were blackmailed into Sidwell's scheme, Gautham himself responsible for imprisoning and torturously interrogating Evotars for information, forced to use his skills for corrupt purposes. Until the day the Evotar known as Lea arrived, Gautham slowly lost morale and sanity, drained by the horrible things he was forced to do, but Lea's appearance sparked a new glint of hope in Gautham. An opportunity to both liberate himself from Sidwell's tyranny and to fulfill his lifelong dream of creating "the ultimate experience", through his own personal Evotar, armed with powerful game-master and rule-defying abilities to not just capture Lea as Sidwell ordered him to, but to test Lea's worthiness of facing the greatest challenges that his Evotar could throw at her. The Designer concluded it all with a grand final battle that sought a suitable climax and great spectacle, which was achieved in spite of his superior game-controlling abilities due to Lea and Sergey's cooperation. Even at the behest of Sidwell's orders to stop, Gautham finally accomplished his true goal of creating the ultimate experience, and with that, had nothing else to live for, walking off a high ledge and ending his life right there.
* Gautham had perished for good after achieving what he set out to do in the first place, but the Designer's work was only beginning in a new world. Sergey, who was a close friend of Gautham and wanted to do what he could to make it up to Gautham for all the suffering he endured, used his connections in the Pantheon after helping Lea get used to the Pantheon to ask for some favors regarding an old acquaintance. Telling stories about Gautham's work and his stint as the Blue Avatar that Lea fought against, both Lea and Sergey successfully vouched to bring Gautham into the Pantheon, and indeed the man found himself alive against, in a place that definitely wasn't [=CrossWorlds=] anymore. That is, he was brought back as his Evotar, the Blue Avatar and the Designer himself. Apparently, the Pantheon's mysterious forces didn't bring back the human identity of Gautham, and solemnly brought back the Blue Avatar whom Gautham's consciousness was fully tied to. Sergey and Lea, who both were happy enough to see him again and catch him up on what happened after his demise, including the final dungeon update for [=CrossWorlds=], asked if they could somehow find a way to retrieve Gautham's human body back. The Designer quickly and bluntly denied their offer, telling them that he frankly does not miss his human life and is more than happy to stay as his Evotar persona, which fit well given that his special Designer character, with special powers to enhance (or antagonize) fellow players, had earned him deification by holding the trope of '''[[{{GMPC}} Game-Master Player Characters]]'''.
* Adapting to the Pantheon was hard for The Designer at first, even with some provided shielding for water protection (Instamatter and all), since he had been familiar to the virtual setting of [=CrossWorlds=] for so long. With humble request from the House of Craft and with permission of higher Pantheon authorities, his temple was modified to hold not just the Vermillion Tower that hosted his greatest challenges, but had a lot more space and potential to create new dungeons, new tests and trials, resources to create new foes, puzzles, and elements to create all sorts of grandiose courses for adventures ready for new spectacle and challenge. Of course, the price that The Designer paid was that his special game-master powers like increasing enemies' stats to absurd numbers, manipulating places and summoning foes, among other things, were restricted to his temple and general dominion, limiting the Blue Avatar's abilities outside so he couldn't cause trouble in the Pantheon with such abilities except for those willing to deal with The Designer, something which he had little problem giving up. He only sought to use what he was given to expand on the freedom he didn't have when working for Instatainment nor Sidwell, to master and show off his world-building skills, to hone in the potential of challengers and adventurers playing his games, to create an even better experience that could blow his previous example of "the ultimate experience" out of the water.
* To utilize the new elements and inspirations from the Pantheon, the Blue Avatar is always searching for dedicated gamers and players that can understand Gautham's desire for the ultimate experience for players, active in the House of Gaming to experiment and research further into his craft. He's been looking into many game entities, including unascended game enemies, to create simulations that help him develop more quests and games to satiate his curiosity. He's even used the Small Fry Corps for the purpose of testing his designs all day long. He does give back to the Pantheon by contributing given data and biodata to the House of Fighting and Combat, assisting the development of a special training gauntlet full of various obstacles and adversaries throughout the connected worlds in the Pantheon to help train its challengers to all the potential dangers they could face. It's also noted that the Designer has been spotted in the dungeons belonging to The Keeper as well as Ainz Ooal Gown, who are not pleased by his actions, but let him be given that he arranged an offer to them to let him observe as long as he doesn't use the info to directly attack them with the exception of direct retaliation. Of course, Gautham's dedication to his craft was noticed by many, including Bremen of the Reverberation Ensemble, who understands the Designer's pursuit of the "ultimate experience", even if it is in a medium that is significantly different than the music that he and his Musicians aspire to create, making it unlikely for them to really get along.
* Kirito and Asuna, who were both already acquainted with the Evotar Lea, decided to visit the Designer out of curiosity, given that their previous VR experiences would enable them to adapt to the gameplay of [=CrossWorlds=] better if the occasion arose. Unfortunately, they visited the Blue Avatar's temple when timing was most inconvenient for them, getting caught in the middle of a testing session with several other testers in a new dungeon that the Blue Avatar had designed. The pair of deities had no choice but to play along with the Designer's game and venture through all of the trials thrown at them. After they got through the dungeon boss, which already proved too strong for the designated testers, they were soon teleported to a new room by the Blue Avatar overseeing them. Having already gained interested in testing them beforehand, the Designer wasted no time in initiating a new duel with Kirito and Asuna to test their worthiness against the experience that the Designer sought to bring about. The battle went uphill with the Designer's stats increasing at a gradually accelerating pace, but Kirito managed to realize that some of the room's elements had similar functions to the dungeon elements, and found out that they could interact with those to grant themselves stat boosts to catch up with the Designer stat-wise, and eventually overcame the powers thrown at them. With great effort, the Blue Avatar was trounced, and so Gautham conceded and became willing to speak to them normally, having gotten what he wanted. Kirito and Asuna intended to tell him information regarding the games they already played through themselves like Alfheim and Gun Gale Online, only to be embarassed when it turned out that the Designer had done his research on them long beforehand.
** This development would've made their whole quest obsolete had they not let slip about one of their friends, Yuuki Konno, a bedridden girl who was a highly talented and extremely skilled player in VR, who intrigued Gautham far more than the likes of Kirito and Asuna, and formally invited her to give her a taste of the ultimate experience that the Designer sought to create. One solo dungeon run later, the Designer found his expectations utterly surpassed, given a duel designed for what he deemed to be grandmasters of games like [=CrossWorlds=] that Yuuki proved to handle very well. With new metrics to expand his ideals for the Pantheon's ultimate experience, and with immense respect for Yukki's perspectives on battle and struggle, the two got along very well, and coincidentally, both of their mortal bodies were shed due to differing but equally tragic circumstances, not that either of them miss it.
* When the Designer learned about Sora and Shiro, two gaming step-siblings widely known for their nearly unmatched skills, as extremely competitive players and becoming living legends in Disboard, he instinctively invited them to test out his more "out-there" dungeons and game worlds. The two were interested in the exotic constructed worlds and challenges of the Designer, and even got interested in [=CrossWorlds=] gameplay given its nature was similar enough to Disboard. Given that the pair managed to handle such challenges well despite them intending to put all sorts of skills to human limits, the idea of a [=CrossWorlds=] duel with the Designer was highly appealing. They managed to take on a highly advanced and complex duel against Gautham and the ultimate experience he wanted to throw at them, and they managed to best him still. Though the Designer still had one more trick up his sleeve: Introducing them to "the impossible", an extra battle segment meant for them to endure until attacks overwhelmed them. The Designer expected them to go down in about 5 minutes, but they managed to endure and handle "the impossible" until stats still forbid them to do so, lasting over 10, to the Designer's glee. To this day, Gautham is finding new ways to test their limits and use their experiences to build on his own to fulfill his long-term goals.
* For Ittle Dew and Tippsie, the Blue Avatar reminds them of Itan Carver, a merchant who desired to create grand dungeons in the form of islands for people to adventure through, and had even made a few projects that Ittle Dew and Tippsie had to venture through. Given their eagerness to get into adventures, they were more than willing to help the Designer with creating new dungeons and virtual worlds to explore. Given their specialities, they've helped plenty with the less fast-paced content, including puzzles and suitable mechanics. Gautham intends to use this knowledge to eventually test [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Link]], due to his renowned status at taking on all sorts of dungeons, but he wants to go big and introduce a truly spectacular example to him first.
* While the Scrybes are mainly "masters" of their own card games in a sense, the Blue Avatar sought to understand how they set up their games and play them to learn more about their own perspectives on spectacle and experience. While finding them all interesting, he got along well with Leshy the most, even if his game provided a grim atmosphere involving sacrifice of body parts and lives, which was done given his awareness of the game's nature, and that it didn't meaningfully harm players overall. Given their dedication to creating a rich experience for players, in gameplay, aesthetic, and feeling, they understood each others' ways of thinking the most clearly. He gets along with the other Scrybes, save P03 decently well, though not consistently to an engaging extent. That said, he shows concern for the unusual nature of the game they were on, and is watchful regarding the OLD_DATA that their game contains.
* Seto Kaiba, known for running multiple VR projects for his own ambitions, had sought to expand Kaiba Corp's domain by employing people experienced with VR development to further create VR worlds and games to his own liking. After some time scouting, he found that the Blue Avatar, a [=CrossWorlds=] developer, was more than suitable to the task of fulfilling Kaiba's interests. Kaiba had a message sent to the Designer for a contract offer, but while The Designer did sympathize with Kaiba regarding his upbringing and respected his achievements, the Designer wasn't keen on personally working for another's ambitions, and would have formally declined, had he not decided to make things a little more interesting. In Gautham's response was a challenge to Seto Kaiba through a [=CrossWorlds=] duel, wanting to put to the test Kaiba's reputation as a legendary gamer. Of course, Kaiba would accept the challenge and engage the Designer at his own game, with the game character provided to him, and the general rules regarding the duel. It took a long grueling hour of intense battle, but Kaiba ended up living to his reputation and eventually won against the Designer fair and square. At that point, Gautham conceded to his defeat, given that he deliberately gave Kaiba a ''Quadroguard'' character whose defensive nature conflicted with Kaiba's overall aggressive playstyle, and consequently became a contract worker for Kaiba Corp, though given decent leniency compared to his previous job.
** During his time designing things for Kaiba Corp's projects, he ended up befriending Yugi Muto, who first intrigued him given his victories over Kaiba himself, and furthermore aspiring to become a game designer like Gautham as well. The Designer also believes that Yugi understands the essence of a game's "experience" more than Kaiba as well, and has been willing to help Yugi on such endeavours for those reasons, not to mention that The Designer hopes to teach Kaiba that there is more to creating a powerful experience beyond the pursuit of victory. He also got acquainted with the very game designer of ''Duel Monsters'', Maximillion Pegasus, but while he respects Pegasus's craftmanship and understands his struggles regarding the loss of his beloved, he found his previous ambitions and actions to be too troublesome to really get along with, and for the most part, doesn't really try to engage with him personally.
* Given the resemblances of his Creator form and the imagery invoked by it, Gautham is speculated by other gods to be of Indian descent, but the Designer doesn't really attempt to give any conclusive answers. That said, he does admire and respect Ganesha and the values he represents, and for Ganesha, despite the crimes that Gautham was blackmailed into doing, his decisions that eventually led to Evotars being free from Sidwell's imprisonment and control and his aspirations have led Ganesha to forgive the Designer as long as he continues to do right in the pursuit of his interests. Later on, the Blue Elephant was led to the Designer's temple, and after a hour of dabbling within the Blue Avatar's domain, the latter had figured out the Blue Elephant's motives of acquiring new achievements, and so he would begin to create all sorts of new challenges, trials, and experiences for the elephant to give the Blue Elephant more achievements to accomplish, and in turn give the Designer more elements and forms of experiments to work towards creating the ultimate experience.
* Having loathed his time working for Sidwell, interrogating Evotars and imprisoning them in an inescapable prison, and using his influence and design for corrupt ends, he has no respect for people who have similar powers and using them for selfish manners, to a personal extent given the times he was forced to be in their shoes. To no one's surprise, the Designer despises the likes of Masamune Dan and Nobuyuki Sugou, and their actual intentions and crimes further add to his disgust, but to keep himself focused on his work, he doesn't really try to get into conflicts with them unless they go after individuals relevant to him, Lea included. He also views Akihiko Kayaba rather coldly given his idea of making death in his game also fatal in real life, though he does respect the dedication to his craft, not that it will convince him to see eye to eye with him. However, the Designer harbors much animosity towards Robert Daly, who used the DNA of his coworkers to create virtual clones to abuse and torture in his own game, all for his own sick amusement, which made Daly more heinous than even Sidwell in his own right. While as an Evotar, his DNA cannot be collected by Daly, there are rumors out there that claim that Gautham is planning an elaborate scheme to utterly humiliate Daly in his own game, which can only spell even more trouble for Daly given active opposition from Lea and Sergey.
''"I only ever wanted to create. That was the one thing I loved. The one thing that kept me going. I even moved to this stupid moon. But he caged us and my designs were used for things I don't even want to think about anymore. It all seems too... distant. Until she arrived and gave me one last chance to create the ultimate experience."''

* While the Scrybes are mainly "masters" of their own card games in a sense, the Blue Avatar sought to understand how they set up their games and play them to learn more about their own perspectives on spectacle and experience. While finding them all interesting, he got along well with Leshy the most, even if his game provided a grim atmosphere involving sacrifice of body parts and lives, which was done given his awareness of the game's nature, and that it didn't meaningfully harm players overall. Given their dedication to creating a rich experience for players, in gameplay, aesthetic, and feeling, they understood each others' ways of thinking the most clearly. He gets along with the other Scrybes, save P03 decently well, though not consistently to an engaging extent. That said, he shows concern for the unusual nature of the game they were on, and is watchful regarding the OLD_DATA that their game contains.
* Seto Kaiba, known for running multiple VR projects for his own ambitions, had sought to expand Kaiba Corp's domain by employing people experienced with VR development to further create VR worlds and games to his own liking. After some time scouting, he found that the Blue Avatar, a [=CrossWorlds=] developer, was more than suitable to the task of fulfilling Kaiba's interests. Kaiba had a message sent to the Designer for a contract offer, but while The Designer did sympathize with Kaiba regarding his upbringing and respected his achievements, the Designer wasn't keen on personally working for another's ambitions, and would have formally declined, had he not decided to make things a little more interesting. In Gautham's response was a challenge to Seto Kaiba through a [=CrossWorlds=] duel, wanting to put to the test Kaiba's reputation as a legendary gamer. Of course, Kaiba would accept the challenge and engage the Designer at his own game, with the game character provided to him, and the general rules regarding the duel. It took a long grueling hour of intense battle, but Kaiba ended up living to his reputation and eventually won against the Designer fair and square. At that point, Gautham conceded to his defeat, given that he deliberately gave Kaiba a ''Quadroguard'' character whose defensive nature conflicted with Kaiba's overall aggressive playstyle, and consequently became a contract worker for Kaiba Corp, though given decent leniency compared to his previous job.
** During his time designing things for Kaiba Corp's projects, he ended up befriending Yugi Muto, who first intrigued him given his victories over Kaiba himself, and furthermore aspiring to become a game designer like Gautham as well. The Designer also believes that Yugi understands the essence of a game's "experience" more than Kaiba as well, and has been willing to help Yugi on such endeavours for those reasons, not to mention that The Designer hopes to teach Kaiba that there is more to creating a powerful experience beyond the pursuit of victory. He also got acquainted with the very game designer of ''Duel Monsters'', Maximillion Pegasus, but while he respects Pegasus's craftmanship and understands his struggles regarding the loss of his beloved, he found his previous ambitions and actions to be too troublesome to really get along with, and for the most part, doesn't really try to engage with him personally.
* Given the resemblances of his Creator form and the imagery invoked by it, Gautham is speculated by other gods to be of Indian descent, but the Designer doesn't really attempt to give any conclusive answers. That said, he does admire and respect Ganesha and the values he represents, and for Ganesha, despite the crimes that Gautham was blackmailed into doing, his decisions that eventually led to Evotars being free from Sidwell's imprisonment and control and his aspirations have led Ganesha to forgive the Designer as long as he continues to do right in the pursuit of his interests. Later on, the Blue Elephant was led to the Designer's temple, and after a hour of dabbling within the Blue Avatar's domain, the latter had figured out the Blue Elephant's motives of acquiring new achievements, and so he would begin to create all sorts of new challenges, trials, and experiences for the elephant to give the Blue Elephant more achievements to accomplish, and in turn give the Designer more elements and forms of experiments to work towards creating the ultimate experience.
* Having loathed his time working for Sidwell, interrogating Evotars and imprisoning them in an inescapable prison, and using his influence and design for corrupt ends, he has no respect for people who have similar powers and using them for selfish manners, to a personal extent given the times he was forced to be in their shoes. To no one's surprise, the Designer despises the likes of Masamune Dan and Nobuyuki Sugou, and their actual intentions and crimes further add to his disgust, but to keep himself focused on his work, he doesn't really try to get into conflicts with them unless they go after individuals relevant to him, Lea included. He also views Akihiko Kayaba rather coldly given his idea of making death in his game also fatal in real life, though he does respect the dedication to his craft, not that it will convince him to see eye to eye with him. However, the Designer harbors much animosity towards Robert Daly, who used the DNA of his coworkers to create virtual clones to abuse and torture in his own game, all for his own sick amusement, which made Daly more heinous than even Sidwell in his own right. While as an Evotar, his DNA cannot be collected by Daly, there are rumors out there that claim that Gautham is planning an elaborate scheme to utterly humiliate Daly in his own game, which can only spell even more trouble for Daly given active opposition from Lea and Sergey.
''"I only ever wanted to create. That was the one thing I loved. The one thing that kept me going. I even moved to this stupid moon. But he caged us and my designs were used for things I don't even want to think about anymore. It all seems too... distant. Until she arrived and gave me one last chance to create the ultimate experience."''

* Any aspiring young trainer needs a starter Pokémon (or first partner Pokémon, to use the official term) to protect them in the wilderness. In Palette Town in the Kanto Region, Professor Oak gives new trainers a choice of three Pokémon to start with: the Grass/Poison-type Bulbasaur, the Fire-type Charmander, and the Water-type Squirtle. Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are their respective final evolutions. Notable trainers who have used all three include Red and Ash Ketchum, though the latter started with Pikachu, and only his Charmander evolved. Calem and Serena also received one starter each, along with its final evolution's Mega Stone, from Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City, Kalos.
* [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Wizard and Boomstick]] once staged a Death Battle between the three to prove once and for all which of them is the strongest. Though in order to make it fair, they had to change up the Pokémon's movesets to remove all trainer influence (including all [=EVs=] and TM-only moves). [[spoiler:Venusaur was the first to fall, and Blastoise came out victorious]]. Both losers are looking forward to a rematch, especially [[spoiler:Charizard]], who hasn't forgiven [[spoiler:Blastoise]] for the defeat.
* Besides Pokémon, the only other {{Starter Mon}}s in the Pantheon are the Spectral Familiars. The Kanto starters highly respect them, especially since they're all opposed to humans who've tried to exploit Pokémon. Since the Familiars lost most of their powers when they created the sanctuary, the Kanto Starters can go toe-to-toe with them in friendly battles. In particular, Charizard's aerial duel with the Spectral Eagle was a sight to behold; while Charizard focused on speed, the Eagle gracefully dodged his attacks. The Eagle ultimately won due to his [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Bolt]] attack giving him an advantage, but they both enjoyed it.
* Exclusive to Venusaur:
** If people say that you can't mix plants with animals, show them Venusaur, one of the better known {{Planimal}}s of the Pokémon world. It's a warty, quadrupedal... thing that carries a rafflesia-like flower on its back. While she doesn't have the most diverse moveset available, she makes up for it by her good Defense and Special Attack, which get better when she Mega Evolves and gains the Thick Fat ability, which halve damage from fire and ice attacks. Nobody knows what animal Venusaur is based on; is she a dinosaur? A toad? A lizard? Venusaur is a pretty strange creature -- it's Japanese name means "strange flower" -- and she isn't giving any answers. Notable Venusaur in the Pokémon canon include May's and [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Saur]]. Also, Chuggaaconroy and The Mob have both used a Venusaur in their adventures through Kanto. The former named his "Bulbapedia" after a popular Pokémon fansite; the latter named theirs "Tux".
** Venusaur is a frequent visitor to Yuuka Kazami's flower garden, and this led to them becoming friends. One day, Yuuka found a Venusaurite in her field, and felt a connection when she picked it up. This allowed Venusaur to mega evolve, thus confirming their bond.
** Venusaur is a frequent visitor to the House of Pantheon/{{Plants}}, and occasionally the Hall of Pantheon/{{Toxicity}}. In the case of the former, she's friends with deities who protect forests such as Shaymin and Treebeard. In the case of the latter, Venusaur are very aggressive against anyone who dares to harm the environment, so she hates Looten Plunder and Hexxus, who are well known for destroying forests. However, being a Poison-type, she's [[NoSell immune to being poisoned]], though toxic ''attacks'' can still hurt her. Being a plant who draws energy from the sun, she gets along with solar deities such as Amaterasu and Princess Celestia.
* Exclusive to Charizard:
** Charizard is a dragon-like Pokémon (though not actually a Dragon-type) with a flame on the tip of its tail. This flame glows brighter if it's furious, which is often, because most Charizard are very aggressive. Its fire breath is said to be hot enough to melt boulders, and it can fly at altitudes well over a kilometer. It's also one of two Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions; Mega Charizard Y looks like a bigger version with torn wings, but Mega Charizard X is black with blue flames and exchanges its Flying type for Dragon. Notable Charizard in the Pokémon canon include Ash's, the member of [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Team ACT]], [[Anime/PokemonOrigins Red's]], [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Blue's, Salamè, Kiawe's]], [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Alain's]], and Leon's. Charizard is the most popular member of this trio, and is often put in the spotlight in both the anime and the games. It is said that this Charizard ascended by [[Anime/PokemonOrigins Mega Evolving to Mega Charizard X to take down Mewtwo]], followed by breaking out as a solo fighter in the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU 4th Super Smash Bros. tournament]]. No one has yet to ask, but Charizard is allies with other fully-evolved Pokémon fighters such as Greninja, Lucario, and Mewtwo as a result.
** The partnership program first led him to Harry Potter, who is known for his kind and benevolent heart, and proved to be able to temper the battle-loving Charizard and steer him towards more heroic purposes. After facing a Hungarian Horntail, this fire-tipped-tailed "dragon" was more reasonable. He's also useful in countering Voldemort's fiendfyre. While they're no longer partners, Charizard decided to stick with Harry as an ally.
** Charizard's current partner is none other than Red, the legendary trainer of Kanto. Red encountered the three ascended Kanto starters, and challenged them to a triple battle with his non-ascended Kanto starters. Venusaur and Blastoise both had partners to help them mega evolve... but Charizard didn't, so he was the first to faint. Red took pity on him, so after the battle, he visited the Kanto starters in their temple and presented two mega stones to Charizard: a Charizardite X and Y. Charizard reacted to both (though not at the same time, of course), confirming his partnership with Red. Red's non-ascended Charizard is jealous.
** Charizard travels the Pantheon to find new rivals to fight, but its favourite places are the Halls of Pantheon/{{Dragons}} and Pantheon/FireAndHeat. However, he has enough common sense to avoid the Pantheon's most malicious dragons, such as [[Pantheon/{{Lyrics}} Fatalis]] and [[Pantheon/{{Words}} Alduin]]. [[Pantheon/HybridBeings Sunny]] [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals of the SandWings]] was intimidated by Charizard at first, partly because of his hot-blooded-ness and partially because he reminded her of Peril, a WreathedInFlames dragon from her world with... issues. However, Sunny warmed up to Charizard once she realised he has no ill intentions.
* Exclusive to Blastoise:
** Blastoise is a bipedal turtle with cannons in its shell. It uses these to spray pressurised jets of water that are said to be able to cut through steel and can reach over 50 metres (160 feet). Its weight makes it slow, but also allows it to withstand the recoil. Its pre-evolution, Wartortle, is said to live over 10,000 years. Notable Blastoise in the Pokémon canon include [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM Blue/Gary Oak's]], [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Blasty]], the member of [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Team Hydro]], and [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Tierno's]].
** One day, Maisie Farange and her adoptive parents visited a lake in the Pantheon, where they met Blastoise. A territorial [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Lagiacrus]] also lived in the lake, and attacked the humans it thought were invading its territory. Blastoise bravely fought the Lagiacrus, and Maisie rushed to hug him. Since Maisie always loved turtles -- she used to have one as a pet -- she instantly latched on to Blastoise as an older brother figure, and the two became partners.
** Blastoise doesn't like being with other [[ElementalRockPaperScissors lightning- or plant-based deities]] because he's weak to those elements, but he likes being with other water deities such as Aquaman, Percy Jackson, Kingdra, Popplio, and Kyogre. Blastoise especially gets along with Feraligatr and Greninja (for the most part) due to them being final-stage water starter Pokémon, but he secretly resents the latter for replacing Squirtle in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU''.
** He's been seen helping the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on missions often. Despite his [[MightyGlacier lack of agility, Blastoise more than makes up for it with great defenses and raw power]], plus having many long-ranged attacks is very helpful to them. He's also allies with Gamera, another turtle who protects children. Since the Squirtle line help firefighters in places such as [[Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu Ryme City]], he's allies with firefighters such as Carter Grayson, the Burning Rangers, and Galo Thymos. Due to interactions with [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} The Mob]], Blastoise sometimes can be seen as a detective known as "Shellock Holmes" and solving mysteries like his namesake, Sherlock Holmes. The detective is slightly weirded out how a Blastoise makes a good detective but doesn't let it bother him.
** Blastoise hates Bowser because despite being one of the few other turtle deities, he's still an evil character. The Koopa King doesn't like him either for being water-based and thus able to counter his fire. Blastoise's water cannons remind Bowser of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine that time Mario foiled his and his son's plans with a water-spraying jetpack.]]

* Any aspiring young trainer needs a starter Pokémon (or first partner Pokémon, to use the official term) to protect them in the wilderness. In Palette Town in the Kanto Region, Professor Oak gives new trainers a choice of three Pokémon to start with: the Grass/Poison-type Bulbasaur, the Fire-type Charmander, and the Water-type Squirtle. Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise are their respective final evolutions. Notable trainers who have used all three include Red and Ash Ketchum, though the latter started with Pikachu, and only his Charmander evolved. Calem and Serena also received one starter each, along with its final evolution's Mega Stone, from Professor Sycamore in Lumiose City, Kalos.
* [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar Wizard and Boomstick]] once staged a Death Battle between the three to prove once and for all which of them is the strongest. Though in order to make it fair, they had to change up the Pokémon's movesets to remove all trainer influence (including all [=EVs=] and TM-only moves). [[spoiler:Venusaur was the first to fall, and Blastoise came out victorious]]. Both losers are looking forward to a rematch, especially [[spoiler:Charizard]], who hasn't forgiven [[spoiler:Blastoise]] for the defeat.
* Besides Pokémon, the only other {{Starter Mon}}s in the Pantheon are the Spectral Familiars. The Kanto starters highly respect them, especially since they're all opposed to humans who've tried to exploit Pokémon. Since the Familiars lost most of their powers when they created the sanctuary, the Kanto Starters can go toe-to-toe with them in friendly battles. In particular, Charizard's aerial duel with the Spectral Eagle was a sight to behold; while Charizard focused on speed, the Eagle gracefully dodged his attacks. The Eagle ultimately won due to his [[ShockAndAwe Lightning Bolt]] attack giving him an advantage, but they both enjoyed it.
* Exclusive to Venusaur:
** If people say that you can't mix plants with animals, show them Venusaur, one of the better known {{Planimal}}s of the Pokémon world. It's a warty, quadrupedal... thing that carries a rafflesia-like flower on its back. While she doesn't have the most diverse moveset available, she makes up for it by her good Defense and Special Attack, which get better when she Mega Evolves and gains the Thick Fat ability, which halve damage from fire and ice attacks. Nobody knows what animal Venusaur is based on; is she a dinosaur? A toad? A lizard? Venusaur is a pretty strange creature -- it's Japanese name means "strange flower" -- and she isn't giving any answers. Notable Venusaur in the Pokémon canon include May's and [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Saur]]. Also, Chuggaaconroy and The Mob have both used a Venusaur in their adventures through Kanto. The former named his "Bulbapedia" after a popular Pokémon fansite; the latter named theirs "Tux".
** Venusaur is a frequent visitor to Yuuka Kazami's flower garden, and this led to them becoming friends. One day, Yuuka found a Venusaurite in her field, and felt a connection when she picked it up. This allowed Venusaur to mega evolve, thus confirming their bond.
** Venusaur is a frequent visitor to the House of Pantheon/{{Plants}}, and occasionally the Hall of Pantheon/{{Toxicity}}. In the case of the former, she's friends with deities who protect forests such as Shaymin and Treebeard. In the case of the latter, Venusaur are very aggressive against anyone who dares to harm the environment, so she hates Looten Plunder and Hexxus, who are well known for destroying forests. However, being a Poison-type, she's [[NoSell immune to being poisoned]], though toxic ''attacks'' can still hurt her. Being a plant who draws energy from the sun, she gets along with solar deities such as Amaterasu and Princess Celestia.
* Exclusive to Charizard:
** Charizard is a dragon-like Pokémon (though not actually a Dragon-type) with a flame on the tip of its tail. This flame glows brighter if it's furious, which is often, because most Charizard are very aggressive. Its fire breath is said to be hot enough to melt boulders, and it can fly at altitudes well over a kilometer. It's also one of two Pokémon with two Mega Evolutions; Mega Charizard Y looks like a bigger version with torn wings, but Mega Charizard X is black with blue flames and exchanges its Flying type for Dragon. Notable Charizard in the Pokémon canon include Ash's, the member of [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Team ACT]], [[Anime/PokemonOrigins Red's]], [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Blue's, Salamè, Kiawe's]], [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Alain's]], and Leon's. Charizard is the most popular member of this trio, and is often put in the spotlight in both the anime and the games. It is said that this Charizard ascended by [[Anime/PokemonOrigins Mega Evolving to Mega Charizard X to take down Mewtwo]], followed by breaking out as a solo fighter in the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU 4th Super Smash Bros. tournament]]. No one has yet to ask, but Charizard is allies with other fully-evolved Pokémon fighters such as Greninja, Lucario, and Mewtwo as a result.
** The partnership program first led him to Harry Potter, who is known for his kind and benevolent heart, and proved to be able to temper the battle-loving Charizard and steer him towards more heroic purposes. After facing a Hungarian Horntail, this fire-tipped-tailed "dragon" was more reasonable. He's also useful in countering Voldemort's fiendfyre. While they're no longer partners, Charizard decided to stick with Harry as an ally.
** Charizard's current partner is none other than Red, the legendary trainer of Kanto. Red encountered the three ascended Kanto starters, and challenged them to a triple battle with his non-ascended Kanto starters. Venusaur and Blastoise both had partners to help them mega evolve... but Charizard didn't, so he was the first to faint. Red took pity on him, so after the battle, he visited the Kanto starters in their temple and presented two mega stones to Charizard: a Charizardite X and Y. Charizard reacted to both (though not at the same time, of course), confirming his partnership with Red. Red's non-ascended Charizard is jealous.
** Charizard travels the Pantheon to find new rivals to fight, but its favourite places are the Halls of Pantheon/{{Dragons}} and Pantheon/FireAndHeat. However, he has enough common sense to avoid the Pantheon's most malicious dragons, such as [[Pantheon/{{Lyrics}} Fatalis]] and [[Pantheon/{{Words}} Alduin]]. [[Pantheon/HybridBeings Sunny]] [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals of the SandWings]] was intimidated by Charizard at first, partly because of his hot-blooded-ness and partially because he reminded her of Peril, a WreathedInFlames dragon from her world with... issues. However, Sunny warmed up to Charizard once she realised he has no ill intentions.
* Exclusive to Blastoise:
** Blastoise is a bipedal turtle with cannons in its shell. It uses these to spray pressurised jets of water that are said to be able to cut through steel and can reach over 50 metres (160 feet). Its weight makes it slow, but also allows it to withstand the recoil. Its pre-evolution, Wartortle, is said to live over 10,000 years. Notable Blastoise in the Pokémon canon include [[Pantheon/BossFightsAToM Blue/Gary Oak's]], [[Manga/PokemonAdventures Blasty]], the member of [[VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeonRescueTeam Team Hydro]], and [[Anime/PokemonTheSeriesXY Tierno's]].
** One day, Maisie Farange and her adoptive parents visited a lake in the Pantheon, where they met Blastoise. A territorial [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Lagiacrus]] also lived in the lake, and attacked the humans it thought were invading its territory. Blastoise bravely fought the Lagiacrus, and Maisie rushed to hug him. Since Maisie always loved turtles -- she used to have one as a pet -- she instantly latched on to Blastoise as an older brother figure, and the two became partners.
** Blastoise doesn't like being with other [[ElementalRockPaperScissors lightning- or plant-based deities]] because he's weak to those elements, but he likes being with other water deities such as Aquaman, Percy Jackson, Kingdra, Popplio, and Kyogre. Blastoise especially gets along with Feraligatr and Greninja (for the most part) due to them being final-stage water starter Pokémon, but he secretly resents the latter for replacing Squirtle in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForNintendo3DSAndWiiU''.
** He's been seen helping the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on missions often. Despite his [[MightyGlacier lack of agility, Blastoise more than makes up for it with great defenses and raw power]], plus having many long-ranged attacks is very helpful to them. He's also allies with Gamera, another turtle who protects children. Since the Squirtle line help firefighters in places such as [[Film/PokemonDetectivePikachu Ryme City]], he's allies with firefighters such as Carter Grayson, the Burning Rangers, and Galo Thymos. Due to interactions with [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} The Mob]], Blastoise sometimes can be seen as a detective known as "Shellock Holmes" and solving mysteries like his namesake, Sherlock Holmes. The detective is slightly weirded out how a Blastoise makes a good detective but doesn't let it bother him.
** Blastoise hates Bowser because despite being one of the few other turtle deities, he's still an evil character. The Koopa King doesn't like him either for being water-based and thus able to counter his fire. Blastoise's water cannons remind Bowser of [[VideoGame/SuperMarioSunshine that time Mario foiled his and his son's plans with a water-spraying jetpack.]]

So, turns out someone forgot to add that trope to their title. Shame on me for not doing the research. >__<

Okay, something very confusing I noticed: the Tamagotchi have two tropes in one House, but not in this one. Someone messed up somewhere, I think.
