GM Stuart
GM Stuart
The Dungeon Master who builds the world and somewhat badly voices the NPCs of this world.
- Butt-Monkey: He's infamous for getting awful rolls as a GM.
Team Fresh Floof
Lavender "Lavi" Drake
Lavi
Click for Burst Mode Lavi
The physical powerhouse of the team. He was raised by Dragon-type Pokémon after being saved from a murderer by a large and mysterious green dragon. Played by xthedarkone.
- After-Action Patch-Up: No one else gets injured as badly as Lavi, and he consistently needs medical attention. In some cases, he needs consistent physical therapy and medication to recover.
- Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Lavi was already quite powerful, but while traveling to the Power Plant, Team Fresh Floof came across a family of Gibles, Gabites and Garchomp. The male Garchomp challenged Lavi to a fight to show who was Alpha, only for everyone to be stunned when Lavi one shotted him with a critical hit. As a result (and by Dragon Pokemon customs), Lavi became the new Alpha of the family, a new family, and a horde of treasure for everyone to have access too.
- Aura Vision: Lavi is able to sense the Aura of Pokemon and people around him. He can sense malicious intent with it.
- Badass Adorable: Lavi is frequently the most innocent/naive member of the group. That being said, he can pack a mean punch and is easily one of the hardest hitters of Team Fresh Floof.
- Bare-Fisted Monk: Unlike most human examples in the main series, he prefers dragons over Fighting-types. But he's still an accomplished martial artist.
- As for his Pokemon, Lucario is one of his strongest team members and his go-to partner for Bursting.
- Big Eater: He has the appetite of a shonen protagonist.
- Book Dumb: Literally since he's barely literate.
- Boxing Battler: Lavi likes to solve his problems with his fists. He's a martial artist who jumps into the fray alongside his Pokemon.
- Brains and Brawn: The muscle of Team Fresh Floof. Especially compared to Jade’s pure tech genius.
- Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: During his trip into the Distortion World during the Wild Colony Arc, Lavi comes across two Kartana that are attacking Plaid. Lavi’s arm is severely injured but he is able to beat down the two Pokemon and rescue Plaid.
- Chaste Hero: Lavi starts off with no romantic partners or interest in that sort of thing. Even after kissing Luna, he shows little interest in traditionally romantic behavior.
- He does make an exception for Phoenica during the Republic City arc, though that's mainly because he loves watching her make a fool out of Luna.
- Clark Kent Outfit: As the Port Oligarch arc shows, he has impressive muscles hidden under his usual outfit.
- Clueless Chick-Magnet: Rudy is completely smitten by him and gives him extremely obvious signals that she's attracted to him. Lavi picks up on none of them.
- Combat Medic: Not him, but his Lucario can also cure wounds.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Lavi is not the smartest member of Team Fresh Floof but he has gone up against monstrous trainers and Pokemon alike and has delivered some hefty damage to them.
- Determinator: Being a Martial Artist, Lavi is in the front lines with everyone and takes so much damage he frequently goes to the hospital.
- Disappeared Dad: Twice. Lavi grew up several years without his father (having been rescued by a Rayquaza) and even when the two did reunite, his father leapt into an Ultra Wormhole.
- Dragon Tamer: He naturally has an affinity for Dragon-type Pokemon (and dragon-like Pokemon like Burns, his Charizard.)
- Enhanced Punch: Focus Punch, Close Combat, Karate Chop, and that’s not even counting his super forms. Lavi is chalk full of powerful punches.
- Expy: Lavi’s player, xthedarkone, has stated on several occasions that Lavi has several Goku-like tendencies. Both were also Wild Childs brought back into society who are experts in fighting.
- Fish out of Water: While Lavi was raised in Wild Colony until he was 7, he was raised by dragon Pokemon until his late teens and discovered by Professor Mahogany. Lavi is still getting used to a lot of things in society.
- Friend-or-Idol Decision: When the party reaches Misty Canyon in Season 2, Lavi is offered one. A representative of the Aura Guardians presents him with membership, a perfected Burst Crystal, and a Magearna (a Legendary Pokemon), under the sole condition that Lavi helps them permanently deal with a "group of upstarts" that Lavi is actually quite fond of: Team BOSZ Pants. Not only does Lavi refuse, he says to the representative's face that he'll fight for the upstarts should the need arise.
- Game-Breaking Injury: Outside of standard injuries one gets in Pokemon, Lavi received serious injuries in his fight at Empire City, exacerbated by Grimer toxin from taking a shortcut in polluted water. He was forced to go through Physical Therapy and take his medicine and his player HAD to say he was or the GM would assume Lavi skipped for the day.
- Gotta Catch Them All: Inverted. Lavi doesn’t have nearly as many Pokemon as his friends, preferring to instead train his own battle prowess and selectively catch his team.
- Happily Adopted: Lavi was raised by dragons in the Tyrant Mountains. From his accounts, his relationship with his draconic family was pretty positive.
- Hates Their Parent: Played straight and then averted. Lavi had plenty of reason to hate his father even if he didn’t understand all the details. Arthur Drake was responsible for the death of his wife and almost killed Lavi. But it turns out Arthur was possessed by a Honedge that made him kill his wife and he went mad from the revelation, and when Lavi learns this truth halfway through Wild Colony, he comes as close to forgiving his father as he could.
- Hidden Depths: You wouldn’t suspect it, but Lavi is actually pretty good at the Pokemon Trading Card Game. He even goes on a misadventure during the Aristocrat Harbor arc.
- Honor Before Reason: Lavi has had several opportunities where his player wanted a Pokemon for Lavi, but the Pokemon was not interested. Such examples were a Deino after Team Fresh Floof’s battle with Executive Layla and several times during Empire City with a Riolu. Lavi could have simply caught the Pokemon, but instead chose not to because it would not be right for Lavi to capture a Pokemon who did not want to join him. Luckily, Riolu eventually joined him.
- Humble Hero: There are several members of Team Fresh Floof who are humble, but when Lavi saves his friends from rockslides or carries them away from nuclear fallout, Lavi simply replies that's what friends do.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: He blames himself for failing to stop Layla from killing Jade. Even after she's brought back to life, he trains feverishly to try to stop it from ever happening again.
- Keet: Has his moments, especially after eating candy for the first time.
- Ki Manipulation: Comes with the territory of an Aura wielder.
- Kamehame Hadouken: His preferred offensive technique using such powers is Aura Sphere.
- Like Brother and Sister: Lavi’s initial relationship with Luna. The two bicker about all manner of things and where to go, but trust each other through thick and thin. This starts to become more as the series progresses, particularly after they kiss on Luna's birthday.
- Living Lie Detector: He can also use his Aura Vision to sense deception.
- Living on Borrowed Time: It turns out that Lavi was a creation of Wild Colony like Crystal Baal, and people in similar states tend to die before they reach the age Lavi currently is. But it's ultimately Subverted. His birth was basically a reality-bending miracle, so he lacks that limitation.
- Made of Iron: Lavi has somehow survived swimming in radioactive sludge with only minor complications. He’s shrugged off things that would make quick work of other trainers in his time with Fresh Floof.
- Making a Splash: Learns Hydro Pump from ninjas... and uses it to enhance his finger guns with spraying water.
- Mind over Matter: His Alakazam Houdini, the other odd one out on his team of dragons.
- Mutant: Thanks to a swim in the heavily polluted waters of Empire City, getting Muk’s poison into his blood, and not cleaning off until several hours later, Lavi grew a working set of gills on his neck. This was later retconned/reversed, with the explanation that they were scarred shut after surviving a later explosion.
- No One Should Survive That!: Lavi has endured a lot of craziness from fighting legendary Pokemon and Ultra Beasts to surviving swimming in toxic sludge and close ranged explosions. Lavi has certainly survived the impossible.
- The One Guy: Team Fresh Floof’s sole male member.
- Only Known by Their Nickname: Until the Wild Colony arc, the party had all but forgotten his full name.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Upon arriving at Wild Colony and after meeting a mysterious man in the local saloon, Lavi begins acting strangely. After an encounter at the saloon, he becomes quiet and trying to find out about a man who rushed off into the desert while the rest of the team is ready to restore power to the town and fight the gym. It’s even stranger when Lavi correctly guesses the password to Arthur Drake’s account information.
- Playing with Fire: Seen in the Port Oligarch opening animation where he is seen with his starter Pokemon, Burns.
- Protectorate: He views himself as the protector of Team Fresh Floof as well as its muscle. He takes it poorly when he fails at his self-imposed duty.
- Psychic Teleportation: Houdini can do this. It ends up saving him and Jade from the explosion in Wild Colony.
- Raised by Wolves: Lavi spent several years raised by Dragon Type Pokemon.
- Red Baron: In the Nightmare Timeline, his future self was known as "The Tyrant". He also gets this nickname in the main timeline, but only due to attuning with the Legendary Pokemon of Tyrant Town's founder.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Red Oni to Luna’s Blue Oni.
- Skilled, but Naive: Lavi has learned how to fight from dragon Pokemon, learned how to Burst, and even has access to Aura. When it comes to a lot of general mundane things in the towns, Lavi needs some guidance from one of his fellow teammates.
- Signature Mon: His starter, Burns, is a Charizard.
- Signature Move: Focus Punch.
- Stock Shōnen Hero: Comes with the territory of being a Goku Expy (though over time, Lavi's shonen protagonist influences have branched out from just Goku.)
- Super Mode: Lavi’s Burst form.
- Super-Reflexes: Lavi has responded to attacks with lightning fast reflexes. This is due in no small part to his very high speed stat.
- Super-Strength: To list all of Lavi’s amazing strength feats would be a challenge, though needless to say Lavi is incredibly strong and has managed to display great feats of strength even when his strength is compromised.
- Talking Animal: His Lucario can talk, but only in the native tongue of Ransei.
- Tomato in the Mirror: Lavi is not only one of the clones from Wild Colony, but he's also his mother's killer. It's revealed in the Tyrant Mountain arc that he was the one possessed by a berserk Honedge (as part of the alchemical Equivalent Exchange required to properly give life to him), not his father.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: Spends the entire Port Oligarch arc (and its opening credits) with no shirt on.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Lavi isn’t afraid of them, but he is not a big fan of ghost Pokemon due to his backstory. This doesn’t make things easier that his hometown’s gym has a ghost theme to it.
- Wild Child: Lavi may not have started off as one, but he was raised for several years by the dragon Pokemon of Tyrant Mountain.
Luna Walker
Luna
In The Name of the Pokemon Rangers
The more-or-less official leader of Team Fresh Floof and a high-ranking member of the Ranger Union. Played by Megami33.- Empowered Badass Normal: A downplayed example. While it's not on the same level as Lavi's Aura or Scarlet's channeling, becoming a Signer allows her to call upon the aid of legendary Pokémon in various ways. She then gains the ability to Battle Bond, giving her temporary access to Dororo's skills and movepool when she uses it. Unlike the others, her powers tend to be "on loan" from another being rather than innate to her.
- The Face: Luna frequently is the person speaking on behalf of Team Fresh Floof during debriefings and interviews, and she's quite good at it. She has been able to befriend people and Pokemon alike with a smile, a joke, and well-placed words.
- Green Aesop: During the Empire City Arc, Luna is very adamant about fixing the pollution problem that is plaguing the city. It is more complicated than just a greedy or lazy businessman polluting to make a quick buck and they can’t shut off the power without consequences, but Luna doesn’t ease up on this as it affects the people and Pokemon alike.
- I'm Your Biggest Fan: Claims to be a big fan of Agent Looker when he comes into the story.
- The Leader: Luna is quick to take charge of official situations or interviews with the team. She also manages the party fund and the inventory for the entire group.
- Like Brother and Sister: Luna’s relationship with Lavi at first. The two have a tendency to push each other’s buttons but close enough to be protective of each other.
- Love Triangle: Part of one with Team Prism. Both she and Amber are interested in Prism but he seems interested in Luna.
- Pals with Jesus: Her Signer abilities, which invoke the powers of legendary Pokémon, require this to function.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: The Blue Oni to Lavi’s Red Oni.
- The Rival : Serves as one to Amber Stone of Team Prism.
- The Sheriff : Being a Pokemon Ranger, Luna tries to uphold the law on several occasions and utilize her powers to get the party out of legal trouble.
- Sibling Rivalry : Luna’s relationship with her older sister, Pokémon Ranger Solana.
- Signature Mon: Dororo, a Greninja, is her first Pokemon and most formidable team member in a battle. She can even Battle Bond with him later on.
- Source Music: Whenever she Battle Bonds, Pelle K shows up to play suitably epic music.
- Status Buff : Luna has used her Ranger Signs to buff her team’s abilities on more than one occasion.
- Summon Magic : Thanks to the styler, Luna is able to call upon legendary Pokémon she has encountered to enhance her and her teammates' skills.
- Team Mom: The most mature and level-headed member of the group. She also handles the group's finances.
- Theme Naming: A bit of an amusing case and a callback to the original Pokemon Rangers game. Luna and her sister Solana reflect the sun and moon naming theme with Solana’s male counterpart, Lunick.
- Up Through the Ranks: Several people compliment Luna's skills and rise through the Ranger ranks throughout the story.
Jade Ravings
Jade
- Badass Adorable: A young, bespectacled nerd who has tamed at least two Olympus Mons.
- Badass Normal: Jade has no special powers to speak of, but is arguably the most effective trainer in the group.
- Came Back Strong: After sacrificing themselves to protect Jade, Spirit's ghost essence is reincarnated into a Marshadow.
- Combat Pragmatist: She uses her Snag Machine on one of Layla's Pokemon mid-battle. It costs her her life.
- The Cracker: The gloves come off when Mr. Noice kidnaps Team Fresh Floof and their fans. She uses her hacking skills to utterly dismantle his battle royale.
- Did You Just Have Tea With Cthulhu: Jade’s relationship with Chibitina as the story progresses. Even after catching the Lord of Death, she offers it poffins. Chibitina quickly accepts, much to the stunned horror of several NPCs watching.
- The Dreaded: Played for Laughs when Rick Shades sees her for the first time in a vision. When Rick realizes that Future Cena's original trainer is still out there somewhere, he fears that if he and the other Peasant Poppers ever cross paths with her, they will die. This is despite the fact that nothing about the vision suggested she was evil.
- A straighter (albeit downplayed) example comes when Team Fresh Floof attends the Manaphy Ball. Because she has captured multiple legendaries, she is known as the Usurper and is treated with suspicion by most of the other legendaries.
- The Engineer: Jade is the resident tech expert of the group. A master of hardware, Jade has created and repaired several items for the party and herself.
- Fluffy Tamer: Two of her Pokemon stand out in this regard.
- Her starter Spirit is a Chandelure, an unnerving species infamous for feasting on souls. But the two care for each other deeply and Spirit is very protective of its trainer. While reincarnating into a Marshadow made it stronger, that species doesn't have the same reputation as the Litwick Line.
- Genesects are very powerful mechanized versions of a species of vicious hunters from prehistoric times. Decans, meanwhile, behaves like a Cheerful Child who views Jade as its mother. It even hugs Phoenica's Flaafy during a battle royale.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Thanks to Jade's classes and skill choices, she has created all manner of objects to help Fresh Floof.
- Gotta Catch Them All: Jade is the capture specialist, so it’s no surprise that she has several ways to capture a Pokemon.
- The Hero: One of her early catches, a larger-than-average Pinsir she names after John Cena, quickly gets this reputation.
- Heroic Sacrifice: During the mission in Ultra Space with S.P.I.T., Spirit sacrifices themselves to take a hit aimed at her.
- I Choose to Stay: After her death, she initially refuses Giratina's offer to bring her back to the realm of the living. She feels inadequate compared to her friends and predicts a lousy life after her journey since her elderly parents' genes are already causing her vision and memory problems. But after a heart-to-heart with Giratina, she changes her mind.
- Kid with the Leash: Deconstructed. Catching one of the Creation Trio makes her infamous and mistrusted among the legendary pantheon. (It doesn't help that she also has a Genesect and a Marshadow.)
- Making a Splash: She befriends a Milotic named Queen Scales in Aristocrat Harbor and adds her to her party.
- Nightmare Fetishist: Jade has been surrounded by ghosts her entire life. Unlike Lavi, who isn’t a fan of them, Jade is able to have perfectly normal conversations with ghost Pokemon without trying to turn them into vengeful spirits.
- Pals with Jesus: She manages to become Giratina's only true friend in all of creation.
- Performance Anxiety: Seen in the Empire City Recap video, Jade is rather nervous about doing long form conversations and talks, especially with strangers. She does warm up as she gets to know people better and as the story marches on.
- Playful Hacker: Jade eventually gains skills in hacking. Even while turning Mr. Noice's battle royale against him, she still finds time to hack a robot to dispense cosplay gear for Scarlet and her uncle.
- Red Baron: When the team is invited to a meeting between Legendary Pokemon, she learns they have given her the title "The Usurper", for catching the most Legendaries out of anyone in Utopus and threatening the status quo.
- Reluctant Fanservice Girl: The swimsuit Rudy designs for her is the skimpiest of the four. She is quite embarrassed by this.
- Signature Mon: Spirit, her Chandelure, is her starter and main Pokemon. She also uses Genesect Decans quite often.
- The Smart Guy: Jade frequently is messing with tech to better assist the team, solving problems, repair broken material, and utilizing strategies for Fresh Floof to succeed.
- Socially Awkward Hero: Great at battling strong trainers and legendary Pokemon alike. Not so great with people.
- Soul Power: Though she doesn't focus specifically on raising Ghost-types, it's her favorite type, she's very knowledgeable about them, and her starter, Spirit, is one. She later adds a Decidueye to her lineup.
- Techno Wizard: Jade is a master of computer technology. It helps that her player can come up with very clever workarounds to tech-related problems the GM tosses at Team Fresh Floof.
- Tornado Move: Queen Scales' infamous Twister, capable of flinching multiple Pokemon at the same time.
- Utility Party Member: She isn't as capable of fighting directly as the other party members. Instead, she's second to none at capturing Pokemon and building devices.
Scarlet Selah
Scarlet
The Sleepy Mystic
Team Fresh Floof's sleepy mystic. Played by Lady_Nanaki.- Absurd Phobia: As revealed in the Mysterious Swamp Arc, despite being the Avatar of Cresselia and having traveled to space, Scarlet is terrified of mud.
- The Alcoholic: Her Nightmare timeline self copes with Jesus' infidelity with glass after glass of Sun Port. To add insult to injury, the person he cheats on her with happens to be the model on the wine's bottle.
- Asleep for Days: Scarlet often enters periods of deep slumber. Justified due to becoming a servant of Cresselia, who is associated with good dreams.
- Badass Adorable: She's shy, she loves fluffy canine Pokemon, and she can kick your ass. And fix the entire multiverse.
- Badass Pacifist: While normally a Martial Pacifist, she has her moments. She stops Mumkey and Ultra Necrozma without a fight. First, she uses Tired Tune to non-violently incapacitate her and her allies before the fight begins. Then, she channels with Ultra Necrozma to quell their unstable emotions and realign the multiverse.
- Back from the Dead: During the Empire City Arc, Leader Sara obliterates the building and severely injures several members of Team Fresh Floof and Team Vision. In the process, both Executive Layla of Team Vision and Scarlet are killed. Before the turn is even finished, Sara realizes what she’s done and rewinds time to undo the damage. Scarlet is resurrected and brought back to the moments before the fight even began.
- Badass in Distress: At one point, Scarlet is captured by Team Vision, but is still powerful enough to get an upgrade while in captivity.
- Captured on Purpose: She ends up in the above situation because she willingly gives herself up to save Jade.
- Combat Medic: Helps heal the party during several large battles and also unleashed some damage herself.
- The Cutie: She's the source of a lot of the more adorable sounds and actions.
- Cuddle Bug: Scarlet can't help but snuggle up to Pokemon that are cute and adorable.
- The Empath: Her channeling powers give her a window into the emotions of Pokemon as well as their moves. This includes Ultra Necrozma.
- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: In an amazing moment coupled with a O.O.C. Is Serious Business moment near the tail end of the Wild Colony Arc, Scarlet is distraught and overhears an overwhelmed Looker try to give control of the operation to Luna, believing her to be a more competent leader in the face of a nuclear explosion. Scarlet gets up and slaps Looker right in the face, telling him to shape up and step up as Luna is still new to all of this and Looker is the adult who has dealt with more catastrophes.
- Heroes Love Dogs: And arrange cuddle puddles full of them.
- Magic Music: Her Touched class lets her play songs with different effects.
- Martial Pacifist: While she has qualms about actively injuring or capturing Pokemon (unless it's the more humane option,) she is a decently skilled battler. She's an even more skilled Channeler.
- The Quiet One: She doesn't talk as much as the other party members. More so early on than later on.
- The Runaway: She began her journey by running away from home, no longer able to tolerate her manipulative mother.
- Signature Mon: She started with a Shinx named Bolt, though her Solrock is one of her strongest and most thematically appropriate Pokemon.
- Silk Hiding Steel: Despite her demure demeanor, she's no slouch in combat. Lampshaded when she's described as looking like she'd secretly be a That One Boss of an Elite Four.
- Snowlems: By rolling a natural 20 on an attempt to make an Alolan Vulpix sculpture out of snow to lure out another Vulpix, she somehow manages to turn the sculpture into a living, breathing Vulpix.
- Solar and Lunar: The Solar to Crystal’s Lunar. Scarlet is the Avatar of Cresselia and one of her main Pokémon is a Solrock named Solus.
- Sleepyhead: A bit of Real Life Influencing the character, but Scarlet tends to fall asleep for long periods of time. She will usually be in Dreamworld where she can ask for help from the Lord of Dreams, Cresselia.
- Tender Tears: She is prone to tearing up when the situation is particularly nasty or tragic.
- White Magician Girl: Scarlet’s ability as a Channeler allows her to heal herself or party members. This is especially the case if she channels with Pokemon like Chansey or her patron Cresselia to help patch up Pokemon and people alike.
Team Prism
Prism
Prism Bow
- Amazon Chaser: He's drawn to strong trainers. Like Luna.
- Amicable Exes: He and Luna are still on good terms after their breakup.
- Dating Catwoman: For a few arcs, he's in a relationship with his rival Luna of Team Fresh Floof, but their ideological differences (mainly Prism's connection to Lugia) eventually break them apart.
- Death Glare: He is a trainer capable of using Intimidate.
- Desperately Seeking A Purpose In Life: After admitting to himself that he doesn't want to be like his father, he can't quite decide what he does want.
- Empowered Badass Normal: Develops the ability to use Battle Bond.
- Generation Xerox: His father wants him to follow in his footsteps and become Republic City's Gym Leader. Prism doesn't want to.
- Meaningful Name: Prisms project rainbows, and, well...
- And then there's his father, Rain Bow.
- One of Us: Is very familiar with proceedings common to films. Also specifically mentions tropes in Episode 390.
- Puppeteer Parasite: Prism ends up controlled by one during the Wild Colony arc. More specifically, a Nihilego.
- Signature Mon: A shiny Gardevoir named Janet, named after his deceased mother.
- Slipknot Ponytail: His ponytail is undone while he is Battle Bonding.
Crystal
Crystal Baal
Witch of Wild Colony
Scarlet's counterpart, having chosen to be a servant of Darkrai, King of Nightmares.- Clones Are People, Too: Regardless, she and the rest of Team Prism have no problem traveling together.
- Dark Is Not Evil: She's very kind and friendly, despite her patron.
- Mystical Waif: A(n initially) small, white-haired girl with otherworldly powers.
- Older Than They Look: She is anywhere from around Lavi's age to in her 20s, but she looks like she is 11.
- Rapid Aging: As a side-effect from being a clone, her aging is accelerated to the point that she looks like a teenager by the second season. This is actually by choice.
- Signature Mon: While her official starter is a Tepig, her truest companion is a Mewtwo.
- Solar and Lunar: The Lunar to Scarlet's Solar, having bonded with a Lunatone.
Amber
Amber Stone
- Absence Makes the Heart Go Yonder: She decides to move on from her relationship with Nera after accepting she probably isn't coming back from Ultra Space.
- The Cracker: Turns out Jade isn't the only one who can hack computers. She's more of a grey hat hacker, however. She had a virus ready to delete information about the Wild Colony incident, but she wrote it with the intent to help out Team Fresh Floof.
- Love Triangle: She has eyes for Prism, who has eyes for Luna. Eventually, she moves on. And it's later revealed that her initial disdain for Luna was more complicated than that. It also stemmed from her hatred of authority figures.
- Poisonous Person: Omega, her Alolan Muk, is one of her most formidable allies.
- Signature Mon: Alpha, a Porygon2 she created herself.
- The Smart Guy: Team Prism's tech expert.
- Techno Wizard: She's on the same level as Jade and can even use her computer skills to create Pokemon.
- Theme Naming: Her Pokemon are all named after Greek letters.
Plaid
Plaid
- Amazon Chaser: Jade being a strong trainer is a plus to him. And he's downright lovestruck when Jade tells a haughty Lugia where to stick it.
- Badass Normal: He's a completely ordinary trainer. No special powers or Olympus Mons at his command. But he keeps up with the others by being a damn good trainer regardless.
- Covered with Scars: Being constantly assaulted by a pair of Kartana left many scars on his body. His clothes normally hide them but many works of fanart show them off.
- Endearingly Dorky: He's a stuttering, blushing dork around Jade, who finds it adorable.
- Insecure Love Interest: He has a moment of doubt that Jade, with all her achievements and status, would see anything worthwhile in him. She immediately refutes him.
- Only Sane Man: The only Mayor in Democra City's history who thinks to build a Pokémon Center. Naturally, he gets impeached.
- Relationship Upgrade: He and Jade hook up after the events of Season One, and soon after plan to get married.
- Shorter Means Smarter: He is confirmed to be around Scarlet's height, making him quite short. He's also one of the team's smartest members alongside Amber.
- Signature Mon: His Ampharos has been with him since the beginning. He can Mega Evolve it, too.
- The Social Expert: He has started growing into this for Team Prism. His time as Mayor in Democra City has given him passion and affinity for politics.
- Southern-Fried Genius: He's highly competent at raising and tutoring Pokémon. He even creates his own vitamins. As Mayor, he also figures out how to "appropriate" funding to build a Pokémon Center and protect it from immediate demolition after he gets impeached.Plaid: You think that Prism's the brains of the group?
- Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: It turns out he had to do some... less than legal things to get funding to build a Pokémon Center in three days. He is removed from office as a result.
Team Peasant Poppers
Rick Shades
Rick Shades
- Attention Whore: He talks like a game show host, cares the most about public image, and is eager to make good first impressions.
- Continuity Cameo: Based on a character
from Brendan Blaber's Anime Campaign, and thus also Epithet Erased, which takes elements from the Campaign. - Continuity Nod: His past involving the ocean, and his ability to "make friends" (possess) with his magic, are reflective of the Anime Campaign version of the character.
- Another, completely coincidental case happens towards the end of the One-Shot Campaign: the original Rick was introduced in a card battle arc. The move this Rick pulls off when mimicking his Togekiss' Metronome is Trump Card, turning the tide of battle when it's interpreted as "summoning" Future Cena.
- Cool Shades: Just look at his name.
- Didn't Think This Through: He doesn't know Phoenica's Milotic's moveset when he possesses him and only realizes it after the fact. Subverted when Phoenica lists off his moves and Rick's borrowed Psybeam turns out to be quite powerful when paired with the Milotic's stats.
- Entropy and Chaos Magic: Constantly orders his Togekiss to use Metronome in battles just for the hell of it. He even calls the attack "wild magic" at one point.
- Heel–Face Turn: Considers his past as an Aqua grunt an Old Shame.
- Idiot Hero: Uses a Pokemon with a x4 weakness when trying to catch another, swaps out to a flying Pokemon when the team enters a cramped basement, and picks the wild (and potentially self-destructive) magic of Metronome over a move guaranteed to do decent damage to an opponent, with all times completely intentional and lampshaded.
- Manly Tears: He's not one to cry very often, but seeing Future Cena Seismic Toss Sara out of space and time moves him to tears (though considering the tone of the one-shot, it's a fairly tongue-in-cheek example.)
- Mind Manipulation: Has the power to link with the minds of Pokemon, not only reading them, but also allowing him to briefly possess them in battle. It's also a great party trick.
- Nice Guy: Doesn't mind being a bit of a Butt-Monkey as long as others are having fun. And when Azelf names Rick as his "master", Rick instead asks him if he wants to be friends.
- The whole situation with Future Cena shows his kindness. He decides to channel with the Pinsir after feeling concern over how aged and neglected he looks compared to Team Vision's other Pokemon. And after Azelf emerged, he calls Future Cena a "friend" despite only having known him for a very short time.
- Odd Friendship: In their backstory, he first met Nera after he was ambushed and mugged by her, with Phoenica joining later (and Samson joining at the start of the One-Shot Campaign).
- Pals with Jesus: Eventually manages to befriend Azelf, of the Legendary Lake trio.
- Punch-Clock Villain: Before the campaign. He only joined Team Aqua because he needed the money.
- Ridiculously Cute Critter: His "therapy dog" Umbreon is so cute and docile that it nearly forgets to attack one turn.
- Signature Mon: He most commonly uses his Togekiss and its "wild magic" in battle.
- Stock Sound Effects: His Togekiss screeches like a red-tailed hawk when Taking the Bullet for him. It's off-handedly justified as an impression Rick taught it how to do.
- Wave-Motion Gun: With the help of copious buffs, a max damage critical hit, and being hugged by every member of Team Peasant Poppers, Octoclacker lets out a massive Aurora Beam that knocks out almost every opposing fighter in the [Farmer's Market] at the same time.
Phoenica Felecity
Phoenica
- The Chosen One: Claims that her family line is destined to, and repeatedly does, save the world. However, a major crisis tends to occur only once every three generations, and Phoenica's one off.
- Comically Inept Healing: Her only healing ability restores a pitiful amount of health. It's flavored as her hastily applying band-aids and Neosporin to Rick's heavily injured arm.
- Continuity Cameo: Based on a character from Brendan Blaber's Anime Campaign, and thus also Epithet Erased, which takes elements from the Campaign.
- Continuity Nod: The original depiction of Phoenica was also a wealthy Chosen One.
- Crazy-Prepared: Some of her Features and successful rolls are portrayed this way. A party-wide defense buff is flavored as her handing out special vests. Later, she happens to have a whole cardboard box of rice in her bag when the party needs to make [jelly donuts] to lure a sleeping Snorlax.
- Cute Clumsy Girl: She and her Pokemon slip up a couple of times, such as accidentally Gust-ing an ally's partner into Ultra Space.
- Eccentric Billionaire: Let's just say she has some rather... odd uses for her money. For example, she buys out a malasada salesman's entire stock out of sympathy since nobody seemed to be buying anything from him.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Phoenica has on several occasions walked right up to warring Pokemon and shady members of Team Vision and loudly proclaims who she is, who she's with, and how many people there are. Only her teammates in Team Peasant Poppers are used to this sort of behavior. Everyone else is just stunned.
- Future Me Scares Me: Not herself directly, but she absolutely dreads the possibility that her future daughter could be Watashi, and wonders just what line she could potentially cross that would result in raising someone like her.
- Literal-Minded: Her first reaction to Rick & Nera wanting to "make a splash" upon arriving in Anarcity is to head for water.
- Mistaken for Suicidal: She apparently has an unfortunate tendency to mistake wholesome family outings for group suicides.
- Money to Throw Away: Frequently drops large sums of cash, and has wiped her brow with $100 bills, or "Poke-Benjis". She also casually slips huge wads of cash back into the wallets Nera steals.
- Parasol of Prettiness: Her parasol is as fluffy as the rest of her outfit.
- The Pollyanna: She will always find a way to put a positive spin on things, including Rick's Togekiss dealing pitiful damage with a Grass Knot.
- Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: Is easily fascinated by how "the other half" live, including her allies' remark that "other half" is clearly not accurate.
- Theme Naming: All of her Pokemon are named after different kinds of fabric.
- The Smart Guy: Thanks to her absurd riches paying for a full education at the prestigious academy in Harbor, she's legally a Professor, and can instantly identify any strange Pokemon or ability the team encounters.
Samson
Samson
- Badass Normal: He has no powers. He doesn't even have any martial arts training. Yet he's surprisingly effective in direct combat.
- The Big Guy: Is the most physically fit of the Poppers, swinging around and throwing a martial artist out of the [Farmer's Market] ring.
- Muscles Are Meaningless: ...Despite looking no more muscular than the other party members.
- Boulder Bludgeon: One of his preferred techniques in battle; while most are "bolted to the scenery", he does pull it off at times, such as in the One-Shot finale.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Samson is...Samson. He is an odd person that doesn't choose to fully grasp certain dangers when other people are rightly terrified. Yet his ideas on how to handle problems can't be ignored and have often ended battles more efficiently than anyone could have expected.
- Combat Pragmatist: His fighting style involves swinging or throwing whatever heavy objects (or people) happen to be nearby and kicking below the belt. Unlike one of his opponents in the [Farmer's Market], he does not have the Dirty Fighter class.
- Comically Missing the Point: When the old man in Anarcity hands his team a key to enter the mansion that Azelf resides beneath, he thinks the man is giving them the mansion as a reward.
- Dark and Troubled Past: The armed robbery at his old job left him with some trauma triggered by the sound of gunshots, and he was framed as an accomplice, so he was fired. He also once had his own bike, but it was destroyed by lightning. It's by and large played for laughs, partially because it's such a Mood Whiplash compared to everyone else's backstories.
- Fearless Fool: Despite narrowly surviving an armed robbery not long before Team Peasant Poppers met, he has no second thoughts about jumping into a potentially deadly battle royale. Luckily, no one actually dies in this one.
- The Generic Guy: Is the most ordinary-looking member of the team, even looking very similar to the male Heart Gold/Soul Silver protagonist instead of having a completely unique portrait/sprite.
- Grievous Harm with a Body: His other preferred technique.
- Groin Attack: Manages to inflict one on a Buzzwole.
- Meaningful Name: Considering how "swole" he is...
- Pragmatic Hero: He cuts in line, kicks below the belt, and attempted to summon all his Pokemon to attack at once during an emergency.
- Signature Mon: A notable exception in the cast. He doesn't seem to have any special preference for any of his Pokemon, nor is he strongly associated with any of them.
- Worf Had the Flu: His actions in the second half of the One-Shot campaign are limited due to Jackson's absence. In-setting, this is explained as Samson first undergoing a Mushroom Samba, then drinking some weird tea Phoenica made, then a severe dust allergy when investigating an old building, and then falling down some stairs.
Nera Scuro
Nera
- Bizarre Taste in Food: Garbsnarb eats money.
- Creepy Good: Garbsnarb. Even Nera herself is unnerved by them.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Despite her roughness, she's a vital member of the party, and often vocalizes how much she cares about the team.
- Hammerspace Hair: She has three pet Espurrs living in it. It also managed to fit a Pichu and Skitty they befriended.
- Honey Trap: Replacing the "sexy" of the usual trope with "cute", she's stated to use her pet Espurrs to lure trainers she can mug, which is how she first met Rick.
- Impossible Theft: In the One-Shot, with a Dusk Ball, she captures a Mimikyu that was caught and still owned by a Team Vision Ninja. Granted, thanks to Samson, said Mimikyu was mauling said opponent at the time. She also managed to catch The Dom's Bulbasaur, when an environment from the Awesome campaign was reused and GM Stewart didn't remove its sprite because it was camoflaged by a houseplant.
- Lovable Rogue: Even with access to Phoenica's infinite money, she and Garbsnarb have a habit of stealing other people's wallets. Phoenica tends to just pay the victims back tenfold.
- Never My Fault: When she meets Crystal after stealing Mewtwo's Pokeball, she lies through her teeth that she is the item's rightful owner. And when she's forced to give it back, she claims she's getting robbed.
- Only in It for the Money: Subverted. Her first line has her saying she became a Pokemon trainer to make money... but she made some friends along the way. She also shows genuine concern for Samson's health and thinks nothing of rushing into Ultra Space to save Garbsnarb.
- Perky Goth: Is very outgoing and adventurous despite her appearance.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Before it's her turn to send out a Pokémon at the Republic City battle royale, she gets bored and decides to go get something to eat with Amber. Notably, she does this despite the fact that her team was in the lead at the time.
- Signature Mon: To the point where she only uses her Honchkrow in battle.
- Stealth Pun: Knife, instead of being a Steel-type move, is a flavor-texted version of Peck / Wing Attack because it gets STAB.
- Sticky Fingers: Whether it's money or gwood, she will try to steal it if it's even remotely valuable.note This includes plot-relevant items like Mewtwo's Pokeball (which ends up causing problems for Crystal Baal.)
- Weaponized Animal: Garbsnarb uses an actual knife in battle instead of Peck / Wing Attack.
- Wrestler in All of Us: In the One-Shot finale, inspired by Future Cena, she teleports above Sara and casts Gravity on herself in order to perform the sickest People's Elbow drop.

A Ransei samurai and Martial Artist undergoing his first Pokemon journey. His quest begins in Utopus' Monarch City, where a relative has offered to help. His starter was a Zorua.- The Leader: Of the Awesome campaign, at least in the narrative of him gathering the team together to visit his relative.
- Meaningful Rename: Claims that "Suede" is not his birth name, but he changed it to fit in with (what he presumed was) Utopus culture.
Calluna

- Lack of Empathy: She betrays her teammates, inevitably leading to Assburger's death.
- The Starscream: She doesn't care about Team Vision's ideals at all. She's only in it for herself.
Burger
"Assburger"

Team Vision's Finest
Venti
Venti Steamroller
Former Leader of the Shenanigang
One of Team Vision's three top agents. A former street gang leader. His best friend is his Pokemon partner, Biggest Boy the Steelix.- Brass Balls: He's adamant about not giving his Pokemon any orders he wouldn't be willing to do himself. The Combination Attack below? He jumps on it and rides it straight into a Yveltal.
- Combination Attack: Magnezone uses its magnetic manipulation to turn Biggest Boy into a railgun. Then Professor Puce places his extra-hardened Metapod on the head to give it a pointy end.
- Extra-ore-dinary: He's a Steel-type specialist.
- Face of a Thug: Naturally.
- Made of Iron: As an Enduring Soul, he can reduce damage to himself from any source to 25.
- Nice Guy: He led a gang that did good deeds for the people of Empire City. And when he hears about Scarlet's dead friend, he immediately tries to comfort her.
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In a rather literal example, he breaks Dialga's Burst Crystal during his angry rant about all the harm Team Vision has caused. While he believed destroying the crystal would make things better by ruining Team Vision's plan, he instead unwittingly frees Primal Dialga.
- Reformed, but Not Tamed: He takes control of Team Vision after the events of the first series, reforming it into the rambunctious but more benevolent "Shenanigang".
- Rule-Abiding Rebel: His street gang had a fleet of motorcycles that they rode... safely, at the speed limit.
- Signature Mon: Biggest Boy, a Steelix.
- "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gets to deliver one to Layla when she's tied up, berating her for "taking the easy way out" by murdering "evil" people instead of giving them a chance to change their ways. Team Fresh Floof did the latter, and that is why they succeeded where she failed.
Puce
Professor Puce
Professor in Name Only
One of Team Vision's three top agents.- Achievements in Ignorance: Somehow fixes the simulation machine through some intensive Percussive Maintenance.
- Badass Normal: He uses his raw strength to throw his hardened Metapod at his enemies.
- Nonindicative Name: To the point where any rolls requiring him to use his intellect get a -19.

- Lean and Mean: Inverted. She's deathly thin but very friendly.
- Signature Mon: She's usually seen with her Larvitar.
- The Smart Gal: Unlike Puce, she actually has the Professor class.
Team Vision (NPCs)
Commander Layla
Layla
Executive of Team Vision
The first key member of Team Vision that Fresh Floof cross paths with, having tortured and forced control over an Absol guardian in order to steal some fossils.- Berserk Button: Seeing her Registeel snagged by Jade sends her into a murderous rage.
- I Need a Freaking Drink: Despite her usual aversion to alcohol, she finds herself downing multiple glasses of wine when visiting Scarlet's cell. It's the same brand her mother used to cope.
- Kid from the Future: Of Scarlet and Gym Leader Jesus, from the "Nightmare" future timeline.
- Manipulative Bastard: A ruthless deceiver with no qualms about manipulating and betraying people close to her. Even her own mother.
- Murder Is the Best Solution: She's usually trying to assassinate someone in her missions. It's a Deconstructed example since she ends up causing more problems than she solves while Team Fresh Floof's more forgiving, merciful approach proves to be more effective in the long run.
- Signature Mon: Her most prominent ally is a Registeel. A Registeel she borrowed from Venti.
- The Vamp: Special note is made of her attractiveness in the recap episodes. It's a hint that she's inherited Jesus' good looks.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Believes absolutely anything is justified in pursuit of Team Vision's goals.
Akamotto
Akamotto
Commander of Team Vision
A samurai from the neighboring country of Ransei. He's thought to be deceased, with his Riolu and Torchic even going on a pilgrimage to pay respects, but seems to have come Back from the Dead when he appears aiding Leader Sara. In truth, he's a ninja version of Akamotto from an alternate timeline, who still has his own Lucario and Blaziken. He is also Watashi's mentor.- Evil Counterpart: A skilled martial artist and Burst Warrior like Lavi, but he works to bring Team Vision's plans to fruition.
- Know When to Fold 'Em: At the end of Season 2's Tyrant Town arc, Akamotto is defeated by the party before he can make Watashi restore the Nightmare Timeline, admits he was hesitant at making any further sacrifices, and submits to the party's demands...which is mainly just assisting Watashi with her new duties as the town's Tyrant.
- Make Wrong What Once Went Right: In Season 2, there are multiple indications (such as Lavi asking Lidic about his whereabouts, and the events of the "Twitch Plays Pokemon Tabletop" special) that he's currently trying to restore his "Nightmare" timeline and save his former comrades, but potentially at the expense of the current timeline.
- Signature Mon: A Lucario he can Burst with.
- Super Mode: By Bursting, he gains a boost in power and the abilities of the Pokemon he fused with.
Watashi
Watashi
- Breakout Character: She quickly became a reccurring character, to the point where there's merchandise of her on the Loading Crew store.
- Chekhov's Gunman: She was introduced as a one-note random opponent in a free-for-all who went down immediately. Later on, she confronts Team Peasant Poppers at the mansion and reveals her allegiance. And then her family ties are expanded upon.
- The Chosen One: According to Phoenica's mother, if she's Phoenica's daughter, then Watashi is technically the one that would have to deal with the "fight a major calamity every 3 generations" thing the family is famous for.
- Dark Horse Victory: Towards the end of the Tyrant Town arc, she ends up resonating with the Dragon Force and becomes the town's next leader, instead of a representative of one of the town's two rival religious organizations (or Lavi, who was a Tyrant in the Nightmare Timeline and had been making friends with a legendary Tyrant's Pokemon).
- Kid from the Future: She is definitely -not- Phoenica's daughter from the Nightmare future timeline. Despite the Strong Family Resemblance. Or hugging Phoenica after she learns she has a future daughter.
- Martial Arts Headband: She wears a forehead protector; while she thinks the kanji on it is for "ninja," in actuality it means "table."
- The actual kanji on her head is「表」which on its own is referring to a table as in a chart or a list when read as an "On"; when read as a "Kun", it refers to a surface, usually one that is obverse (the "heads" side of a coin, the front side of a building, etc.), or - hilariously in this case - public.
- Ninja Brat: She has talent and training, but has yet to earn true mastery, at least partially due to her attitude.
- Noblewoman's Laugh: As revealed in one of the "commercial-break ads" for the group's website and products, Watashi laughs this way and actually sounds natural (thanks in no small part to Megami33's voice acting).
- Occidental Otaku: In her first appearance, she is described to be dressed as if she were from Ransei, but Phoenica's keen researcher knowledge told the party that she is a "weaboo". Additionally, she enjoys peppering her sentences with (often mispronounced) Rune Speak as well as gibberish sounding like it.
- Signature Mon: Naturally, an otaku like her would be drawn to a nine-tailed fox like Ninetales.
- Strong Family Resemblance: While her initial sprite was of a generic female ninja, her official portrait gives her the same hair and eye color as Phoenica.
- Super Mode: Like Lavi and Akamoto, she can access Burst, and has done so with both a Ninetails and an Espeon.
- The Friend Nobody Likes: Her weaboo nature tends to get on the nerves of even her fellow Team Vision members, with some exceptions such as Lidic.
Sara
Sara
Leader of Team Vision
The Leader of Team Vision, with plant-based powers and fairy wings. She also has a massive burn scar on her face and neck, and always smells like onions.- Actually Pretty Funny: She doubles over in laughter for a solid minute when Phoenica, in denial over Watashi being the most likely candidate for her future daughter, tries to claim she's Sara's mother instead.
- Arc Villain: In addition to Team Vision being the main antagonists of Season 1 as a whole, Sara is personally involved in at least two specific arcs.
- In Empire City, she has a direct connection to the ongoing feud between the Fairy-type Pokemon of the nearby Moonwalk and the industrialists in the city.
- She's also the final challenge of the One-Shot that officially introduced Team Peasant Popper, attempting to summon Azelf and take its powers before it can help seal the Ultraspace rift above Anarcity.
- The Comically Serious: When Nera refers to the imminent duel between Team Peasant Poppers and Sara as a [Farmer's Market], Sara goes along with it without a hint of irony.
- Dead Person Impersonation: At the end of the "Twitch Plays Pokemon Tabletop" special, there is a very strong indication that Sara took the identity of a researcher she made contact with, who has now been reduced to a computer simulation.
- Final Boss Preview: When Team Fresh Floof arrives ahead of schedule before she can execute President Sumo, she takes matters into her own hands. Subverted when she ends up dying before they can have their final battle.
- Hopeless Boss Fight: Naturally, a very powerful legendary with a Time Gear trounces a team of trainers who only have two badges.
- My God, What Have I Done?: In Empire City, she causes a massive explosion that kills both Layla and Scarlet; horrified, she turns back time to undo both of their deaths.
- Scars Are Forever: Her burn scar, reflecting the burnt sacred tree in the Moonwalk.
- Sue Donym: Sara B., the time master with connections to the Fairy Forest, is a Celebi, the legendary plant/fairy time Pokemon.
- The Unfought: Zig-zagged. She does fight Team Fresh Floof in Empire City but their final showdown is canceled when Primal Dialga kills her.
- You Have Failed Me: Ends up on the receiving end of this by Primal Dialga.
Other NPC Members

The region's main Pokemon Professor, and adoptive father of Lavi.Hop
A visiting researcher from the Galar region, and the same character from Pokemon Sword & Shield. Supposedly pen pals with Scarlet, he officially meets Team Fresh Floof at the combined party for Luna's birthday and Jade's engagement, and decides to accompany them to their next destination. Sovereign Village
Trey Saturn
The ultra-chill gym leader of Sovereign Village.- Dishing Out Dirt: Since Utopus uses dual-type gyms, Rock is his first type specialty.
- Green Thumb: And this is the other type he focuses on.
- Intergenerational Friendship: He went on his journey well into adulthood and formed a team with trainers much younger than him. We meet them on Route 9.
- Mellow Fellow: Doesn't care at all about losing gym battles. In fact, he may have zoned out completely during the gym battle in Cross Platform Action Squad's campaign.
- New-Age Retro Hippie: His aesthetic and lifestyle in a nutshell.
- Signature Mon: Lileep/Cradily, a Pokemon who combines both of his gym's types.
- The Stoner: Implied, but only in the Cross Platform Action Squad one-shot. He is described as lighting up "a device".
- Walking Shirtless Scene: His usual outfit comprises of only a pair of shorts and sandals.
Empire City
President Sumo of Empire Electric
The man in charge of supplying electricity to all of Utopus. His business practices are bad for the environment, and it's intentional.- Bait-and-Switch: Luna's convinced that he's an Arc Villain, until it turns out he's retaliating, not instigating conflict...though he does still get punished for his actions in the end.
- Extra-ore-dinary: One of the types his gym specializes in.
- Non-Idle Rich: Like Clay from Unova, he's a CEO who still finds time to serve as a Gym Leader.
- Poisonous Person: His other type specialty. Naturally, he uses both of Fairy's weaknesses.
- Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Much of his anti-Fairy nature, including an actual rampage through the Moonwalk, can be traced back to his daughter being killed by a Ninetails (though he wasn't aware it had first been injected with a strange serum).
Sam Sumo
The son of Empire Electric's president, who thinks his father's anti-Fairy agenda has gone too far.- Extra-ore-dinary: Par for the course for Empire City's other Gym Leader.

Jessie
The local representative of the Ranger Union. Port Oligarch
Jesus
- Ambition Is Evil: His quest to obtain a legendary Pokemon causes him to cross ethical boundaries. First, he risks ruining Team Fresh Floof's plans at the Manaphy Ball to catch a legendary. Then, during his date with Scarlet, he jumps into a fight with Oreo to take Tapu Koko for himself after it had already been captured.
- The Casanova: Only in the Nightmare timeline, where he cheats on Scarlet with the model on the Sun Port bottle.
- Dashing Hispanic: Is most certainly this, especially for Scarlet. He even has random Spanish guitar riffs when he's present...most of the time...
- Fantastic Racism: He flat-out refuses to recognize Team BOSZ Pants as Pokemon trainers. It doesn't help that his introduction to Oreo was after she caught the Tapu Koko he was after.
- Fatal Flaw: Lust ruins his relationship with Scarlet in the Nightmare timeline. In the main timeline, it's done in by a mixture of Pride and Envy instead.
- Green-Eyed Monster: During Season 2, he starts behaving a tad more recklessly and power-hungry (such as a "date" with Scarlet being an excuse to help him catch a Legendary, which leads to them breaking up), at least partly because Team Fresh Floof's successes have surpassed his own.
- Ladykiller in Love: He takes an interest in the demure Scarlet in the Port Oligarch arc.
- Latin Lover
- The Rival: After breaking up with Scarlet, he decides to challenge the League himself and joins Team Fabulous, an opposing team who is the current favorite to win.
- Shock and Awe: He's especially drawn to powerful Electric-types.
- Signature Mon: An Eelektross who happens to be nicknamed Layla.
- Tranquil Fury: When Jesus learns of Scarlet's kidnapping, his Spanish guitar stops. Stuart specifically points out this fact.
Valdus
Another of the three Oligarch gym leaders. He's incredibly famous, but his bombastic and overbearing nature gets on people's nerves.- Large Ham: He's always shouting, and his actions include interrupting a contest rehearsal in order to challenge people to duels.
- Making a Splash: Mainly uses Water-types, the other type Port Oligarch's gym focuses on.
- No Indoor Voice: To put it kindly.
- Weak-Willed: It turns out that he has very low resistance to mental techniques. One of Scarlet's preferred methods of dealing with him is to just implant a thought that he should, for example, dive into a water fountain.
Lawless Lake
Future Cena
A version of Jade's Pinsir from Team Vision's version of the future, who initially appears with a ninja grunt, but assists the Peasant Poppers after Rick links with its mind. Though older and wearier, it does not fail to impress the team.- Heroic Sacrifice: He defeats Vision Leader Sara by suplexing her into a mystical pool at the bottom of a fifty-foot drop, causing them both to disappear into light, and the display of willpower earns Azelf's respect.
- Memetic Badass: He's treated like a respected Guest-Star Party Member by the Peasant Poppers rather than an underling, defeats most of its foes with a single move, and is always accompanied by John Cena's theme song.
- Never Found the Body: His body was never seen again after his Heroic Sacrifice, save for him still suplexing Sara in the End of Time's background during the final fight of the "Twitch Plays Pokemon Tabletop" episode.
Uxie, Mesprit and Azelf
A legendary trio of Pokemon associated with Lakes. Azelf befriended Team Peasant Poppers when they sought its help to close a tear to Ultra Space.- All Animals Are Dogs: Averted, though Samson and most of the Peasant Poppers are convinced Azelf is, having found a copy of "Air Bud" before first meeting it.
Pelle K the Pelipper
Yes, this is a thing.
A Pelipper that follows Luna around playing empowering theme music.- Left the Background Music On: The purpose for his entire existence in game.
Monarch Town
Mayor Percival
The town's mayor.- Pointy-Haired Boss: Instead of managing his own town, he delegates the tasks of relieving the local Nurse Joy and appointing a replacement gym leader after King Harmony leaves to Team Fresh Floof.
Nurse Joy
The overworked nurse of Monarch Town. Following Fresh Floof's battle against Team BOSZ Pants, they have some hilarity while under her "care", and convince her to retire. She later changes her look to an Officer Jenny and joins the International Police, ending up just as overworked as at her previous job.- Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: Her Chansey gives her a few Double Slaps when she acts a tad crazy, though they have little effect.
- Must Have Caffeine: She is constantly on an overly-hyper caffeine buzz.
- No Sense of Personal Space: A quiet scene of Lavi and Luna bonding ends with her appearing right behind them and yelling about if they need healing. Earlier, she also grabbed Chibitina right off of Jade's head to heal it (which it didn't need), and then "yeeted" him back, which left the miniature god of death a tad bewildered.
- Soul-Sucking Retail Job: Claims that her caffeine addiction is due to being overworked.
Team BOSZ Pants
King Harmony
A Slowking that's the gym leader of Monarch Town. When Team Fresh Floof come to challenge him for a badge, he stages a grand show to announce his retirement from his current position...and entrance into professional battling with an all-Pokemon team of trainers, with a battle against the odds-on-favorite proving their legitimacy.- Friendly Rivalry: Despite more-or-less kidnapping Fresh Floof in order to have a dramatic introduction to his team, his team and Floof's members are on generally good terms, with the humans having so many strong bonds with Pokemon (Lavi's guardian, Chibitina, Scarlet's patron, etc.) to be sympathetic to their plight.
- Fun with Acronyms: After asking Utopus' social media (AKA Twitch chat) for a good team name, he chooses the one with all of their species' initials in it (Beheeyem, Oranguru, Slowking, Zeraora).
- Hopeless with Tech: He lets Oranguru manage their social media, since all he can do is "push some buttons".
- La Résistance: Although fairly civilized, one of his main motivations for forming a team is the dominance of humans in a society with sentient Pokemon, and he plans to shake up the status quo from the inside.
Oreo
Her Trainer outfit
A Zeraora that thinks humans have had the dominant role in society for far too long.- Beat Them at Their Own Game: Her motivation for becoming a Trainer, even going as far as to wear a hat and vest similar to Red's from the games. She even convinces a Tapu Koko (the one Gym Leader Jesus was after) to let her catch it.
- Signature Mon: A Zapdos.
- Worthy Opponent: After Team BOSZ Pants' first battle with Team Fresh Floof in which BOSZ Pants won, she shakes their hands and hopes to meet them again in the League.
Dr. Atear
A Beeheeyem looking to improve its physical strength.- Odd Friendship: It's on surprisingly good terms with both Lavi and Valdus, the latter actually showing concern that he might have to fight a friend in the Pokemon League.
Oranguru
A quiet, but tech-savvy, member of the team.- Mythology Gag: Team BOSZ Pants was at least partially based on the actual entry for Orangurus in Ultra Sun: "It normally spends its time meditating in the treetops. It throws Poké Balls and gives other Pokémon orders as it pleases."
- The Smart Guy: He's the team's social media manager.
Aristocrat Harbor
Steven Glazed
One of the grandsons of the owner of the local Card Shop. In Season 2, after the Card Shop closes down due to lack of customers, he decides to lead a Pokemon team called "The Dark Ones", with the other members being his brother Logan, their grandfather Jim, and their female friend Mint T.- Butt-Monkey: His second encounter with Lavi ends up with him being repeatedly dunked and pulled out of a nearby river because he accosted Lavi and tried to guilt him into being his mentor, leading to Steven being carried away in tears by his grandfather (and Lavi himself brought to the police station by a visiting Eddie J. Murdoc).
- Miles Gloriosus: He's incredibly loud and boisterous, confident that he can take on Lavi in any fight (card, Pokemon, fists)...and, failing that, wants to be trained by "the only guy whose ass he's ever been kicked by". Even his own grandfather tires of his antics.
- Never My Fault: He accuses Lavi of being solely responsible for the Card Shop closing, as he could've used his fame as part of one of the country's highest-ranked teams to promote the place. However, Jim tells Lavi that it probably wouldn't have actually helped much in the long run.
- Unknown Rival: Declares himself to be Lavi's greatest rival, having defeated him...once in a card game, and losing every actual Pokemon battle. Meanwhile, Lavi always needs to be reminded who he is.
Phoenica "Phe-Phe" Felicity
The mother of Pheonica Felicity of Team Peasant Poppers. She's properly introduced in the second season, "Road to Victory".- Conspicuous Consumption: She has near-infinite resources at her disposal, which she demonstrates through acts such as remodeling the family mansion monthly, and replacing the entire front lawn with fake grass made of silver.
- Eccentric Billionaire: It runs in the family. As seen above with Conspicuous Consumption, her spending habits can get weird.
- Head Pet: She has at least four Cinccino that live within her Regal Ringlets and keeps her hair shiny.
- Meta Guy: She is incredibly knowledgeable about storytelling tropes and is convinced her life follows them, saying that she knew she lost her Plot Armor when she became a mother, believing that the Nightmare-timeline-her almost certainly survived death by mauling because Watashi Never Found the Body, and immediately realizing that one of her possessions will become a Tragic Keepsake just by Watashi's reaction to it.
- Nightmare Fetishist: She is unnervingly fascinated when Watashi acts out how she died in the Nightmare timeline, and claims she's alright with dying in a cool way like being torn apart by beasts while protecting her offspring.
- One-Steve Limit: Averted; every first-born woman in the Felicity family is named Phoenica, with nicknames usually applied based on how they pronounce their own name (with Watashi being the sole exception).
- Regal Ringlets: She has long (at least waist-length) curly hair, similar to her daughter and alternate-timeline-granddaughter.
- The Stoic: She takes any news given to her without showing much outward concern, whether it's about her daughter being stuck in a pocket dimension, or her granddaughter from an alternate timeline coming to visit.
- Strong Family Resemblance: She looks exactly like an older version of her daughter. Brendan Blaber even returns to voice her.
- Uncle Pennybags: She is nothing less than kind and charming to everyone she interacts with, mostly due to her family consisting of generations of "Chosen Ones".
"Forefather" Felicity
Phe-Phe's husband, Pheonica's father, and Watashi's grandfather. A muscular man that's said to have fought in every war he could, training his body to fight on equal footing with his Pokemon instead of making them do all the work.- Charles Atlas Superpower: His physical prowess is extremely good.
- Cool Old Guy: Despite marrying into the Felicity family rather than being part of its heroic lineage, and the fact that he's old enough to have grey hair, he's still strong enough to leave craters in the ground while training.
- Only Known By His Nickname: He's honestly forgotten his real first name, and asks Lavi to use his codename when they meet.
- Testosterone Poisoning: Possibly the manliest character in the entire series.
Ten
- Eyes Always Shut: Despite immediately freaking out over Lavi's heterochromia (as Lavi only had blue eyes in his youth), Ten is never shown with his own eyes open.
- Power Floats: He uses his psychic abilities in order to remain indefinitely skyborn.
Hidden Ninja Village
Lady Kiiza
- Secret Identity: Her human form is actually an illusion, and she's actually a Legendary Pokemon: Suicune.
Pokemon Rangers
Solana
A legendary Pokemon Ranger. She's also Luna's older sister.- Theme Naming: A bit of an amusing case and a callback to the original Pokemon Rangers game. Solana and her sister Luna reflect the sun and moon naming theme with Solana’s male counterpart, Lunick.
Hime
A feminine man that's in a committed relationship with Solana.- Agent Peacock: He's incredibly powerful, able to go toe-to-toe with Burst-Mode Lavi in a sparring match without being transformed himself.
- Dude Looks Like a Lady: Hime has pink hair and tends to wear dresses and skirts, but is identified as Solana's boyfriend.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: He looks even prettier than many of the girls in a Diancie dress.

The police's Weather Expert, and a Move Tutor for all weather moves, such as Sunny Day and Rain Dance. Speaks with a Wisconson-esque accent.Jenny #2
One of the two Officer Jennys present at the Aristocrat Harbor precinct, with the other being the former Nurse Joy of Monarch Town (see above folder). Her defining feature is her twin-pigtail hairstyle.Officer Cockney
A non-Utopian resident that serves as a regular officer. It's suspected by his peers that his accent (which is, of course, Cockney English) is actually completely fake.Rex
A slacker who claims to be the police's resident Cryptozoologist, but mostly just shares online memes with Mason from S.P.I.T. It's suspected that he's only still on payroll because of a glitch in the system. Carbink Royalty
Tzar
One of the three candidates to be transformed into the next Diancie. Believes that the best way to maintain leadership is with an iron fist, wanting to amass as much power as it can.- Asshole Victim: He is cut down by Raikou's blade.
- Obviously Evil: It's clear he's up to no good from the moment Team Fresh Floof meets him.
Chancelor
The second candidate to become the next Diancie. Prefers to charm others into agreeing with them using charisma while avoiding physical conflict entirely, but has a few odd mannerisms and allies.The Carbink formerly known as Prince
The third and final candidate to become the next Diancie. Is rather meek and overly eager to please others, even if it means giving up valuable assets with no guarantee that the receiver's promises will be kept. Tyrant Town
Magenta Selah
Scarlet's mother.- Abusive Parents: She's incredibly manipulative, playing off acts such as demolishing Scarlet's childhood garden in order to set up a Pokemon fighting arena that can generate some revenue as "a mix-up with the contractor".
- Playing Sick: When Team Fresh Floof has to come to town as part of their journey, Scarlet is told that Magenta's sick and needs to see her immediately. Within seconds of seeing her, it's deduced that she's faking it in order to invoke a false reconciliation, infuriating Scarlet and invoking the rest of the team's spite.
- What's a Henway?: While Playing Sick, she claims that an online search stated she has the symptoms of "Ligma", completely unaware of what it actually means.
Cyan Selah
Scarlet's father, and the head priest of the Church of Arceus.- Abusive Parents: Although he's not as obviously manipulative as his wife, he does try to downplay and justify her behavior rather than undo the damage she causes.
Tomoe
A Lorekeeper, whose father is the head of a temple that rivals the local Church. Despite this, she willingly joined the church in order to try and find the Dragon Force, the power of which would make someone the town's new "tyrant" and end the religious feud.- Heroic Self-Deprecation: When Fresh Floof offer to search for the Dragon Force and empower a suitable "tyrant", she asks if they could also use its power to officially acknowledge her as a Lorekeeper, as she feels she's an unworthy successor that needs the support.

Mac
A trainer who co-owns the combination bug sanctuary and golf course on Route 9. He's the actual golfer of the duo.- Informed Ability: Played for laughs.

- Intergenerational Friendship: He and Bubba traveled with Trey Saturn on their journey.
- Nice Guy: Despite Luna (a first-time golf player) gaining an early lead on him in their golf game, he's nothing but friendly and supportive. He takes Scarlet's victory in stride as well.
