An Aron found one day when it was eating a box of scraps, has been adopted into the family since then.- Played by: QuarterDollar
A 15-year-old girl (13 at her debut) who was raised in Olivine City, Johto. She's a bit lacking in the formality department, preferring to speak her mind without restraint. She began her journey several months prior to her debut, receiving her starter, a Cyndaquil dubbed Cynthia, from Professor Elm in New Bark Town before setting out on her adventure. She traveled to Kanto after hearing about an airship in Celadon, and joined the J-Team thereafter. Has since partaken in a dramatic love triangle and eaten a great deal of sandwiches.

Babe the Ampharos
- American Accents: Speaks with a New York mobster type accent.

Many of the team are just plain nonsensical for the moves they carry so they all exhibit:
Pikachu (Many)
- Balloonacy: Can fly using balloons.
- Shock and Awe: Electric types.
- Zerg Rush: Should all else fail, this is their primary form of attack.
Dodrio (male)
- In a Single Bound: Or many if need be.
Gyarados (male)
- Blow You Away: Unlike many Gyarados, Casval's seemingly displays traits of the Flying-Type.
- Flight: Can actually fly.
- Legendary Carp: As a Magikarp.
- Making a Splash: Water type.
Slowpoke (male)
- Delayed Reaction: Takes a while to register getting hit.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: Casval counts his Shellder as an entity required for evolution.

Shellder (female)
Tauros (male)

- One-Gender Race: As all Tauros are male.
N's Pokemon
These Pokemon belong to N and are currently being held onto by Casval.
Carracosta (male)

- Mighty Glacier: Is slow but strong.
Archeops (male)
- Attack! Attack! Attack!: His main "strategy."
- Blow You Away: Part Flying type.
- Dishing Out Dirt: Part Rock type.
- Glass Cannon: Powerful, but not durable.
Vanilluxe (male)
- An Ice Person: Ice type.
Joy the Audino (male)
- Healing Factor: Has Regenerator for an Ability.
- The Cameo: From Black Adventures.
Klinklang
- Extra-ore-dinary: Steel type
- No Biological Sex: Is genderless.
- Robo Speak: Talks like a robot.
An apathetic trainer with no personality to speak of.
- Affectionate Nickname: Tagg refers to her as "little bird" due to both her Fletchinder mon form and Channah also being much shorter than he is.
- Angst? What Angst?: Played straight and/or justified by her implied depression and issues feeling things, especially during the talk with Tagg at her house.
- Anti-Hero: While not completely devoid of selfless qualities (Mainly directed towards Tagg) and not actively malicious, she's not always the nicest person and can trend a bit more towards being morally neutral rather than good.
- Berserk Button: Messing with her mind and turning her pink tends to make her extremely angry. The former is also revealed to be a Trauma Button because telepathy being used on her reminds her of her old Espeon Hale, who was murdered by her evil twin Ira.
- Big Brother Worship: Implied to have looked up to her elder brother Garrett quite a bit before certain events caused a Broken Pedestal moment.
- Characterization Marches On: Started out more like her writer but became a much grumpier and envious person over time.
- Child of Two Worlds: A [Korean] raised by [American] parents who also grew up in [Japan].
- Commonality Connection: Gets along with Marnie because both happen to have been heavily influenced by their elder brothers, who even gave them a rodent Pokémon as their starter. (Morpeko for Marnie and Bodee the Raticate for Channah)
- Competition Freak: It's been stomped almost to death, but is all that remains of her old self.
- Disability Immunity: Her depression serves to make it harder to discern her emotions from her Aura, with Tagg describing her Aura as more akin to a stagnant pond than the flames Aura normally appears as to his Aura Sense.
- Dull Surprise: Channah rarely emotes, even when surprised.
- Female Misogynist: Downplayed in that it's more that she doesn't understand other women as opposed to outright hating them (At least on a gender basis due to her more misanthropic tendencies), but Channah has a bad case of internalized misogyny as a result of wanting to be taken more seriously in the male-dominated training circuits she ran with back when she was younger, and picking up on how the male trainers tended to treat the women in their lives poorly. As she had no desire to be either one of their fangirls or just their girlfriend, it made her try to be as much "not like other girls" as possible to avoid getting pigeonholed.
- Green-Eyed Monster:
- Due to her insecurity about Tagg being her Only Friend, which continues into their romantic relationship, Channah feels uncomfortable to hatefully envious whenever certain people interact with him. It comes to a head during Galar when she and Tagg have their first real fight as a couple before she admits her insecurities to him directly.
- Channah gets deeply envious of Chiyo due to her increased closeness to Tagg over the course of the late Galar and Neo-Sinnoh Arcs, and the two end up having another argument when she finds out about the Freshman Iridium's existence, considering it essentially cheating by proxy despite her being a creation of the School planned by neither. By extension she resents Tagg choosing to recognize her as his daughter.
- Hates Being Touched: Dislikes being touched or touching other people.
- Hidden Depths: Beneath her surface dismotivation and apathy hides a lot of self-loathing.
- Huge Guy, Tiny Girl: She's 5'0" compared to the 6'3" Tagg.
- Insecure Love Interest: Often feels insecure when it comes to her and Tagg's relationship due to feeling unworthy of his affections, which can manifest in jealousy towards him hanging around certain other people.
- Ironic Name: Channah means "grace", but she isn't always the best when it comes to social graces.
- The Knights Who Say "Squee!": Obsessed with Steven Stone, which is one of the few things she'll actually emote about.
- The Lad-ette: Invoked, she purposely affects the bearings of a fratbro in conversation.
- Loser Protagonist: She has never seen anything major to completion, and misses a lot of opportunities to better herself.
- Love Epiphany: Up until Tagg confesses in the aftermath of Ren's wedding, Channah is implied to have not even considered the concept of the two of them being together.
- The Napoleon: There's an inverted relationship between her short height and her aggressiveness.
- No Social Skills: Makes conversations deeply cringe-y just by showing up to them, at times even inadvertently insulting people, due to a mix of carelessness and what might be a mental disorder. Her name means "grace", ironically.
- Not in This for Your Revolution: She's nominally associated with the J-Team, but is only really there because Tagg hangs around them rather than considering herself part of the group, on top of her house getting damaged due to Ira meaning that she doesn't have a home otherwise. Her dislike for many of the J-Team is in part because she feels that they're merely using her boyfriend to solve their issues regardless of the effect on his mental health, combined with her direct jealousy towards a few like DS.
- Official Couple: Her and Tagg pair up as part of the latter's polycule.
- O.O.C. Is Serious Business: Channah normally considers using telepathic communication to be a Trauma Button due to Hale's original death, so it says a lot about how angry she is that she chooses to beam an image of Freshman Iridium inside Tagg's head as her method of communicating the issue to him.
- Our Werebeasts Are Different: Following an encounter with Mew Prime, she's become a were-Fletchinder.
- Parental Abandonment: Her Mindscape reveals that she has issues regarding the fact that her birth mother gave her up, though considering the fact that her father would later join an evil cult, that may have ultimately been a blessing in disguise considering what happened with her twin.
- Performance Anxiety: Part of what caused her to forfeit her Champion battle. She's since largely gotten past this via The Power of Apathy.
- Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: Compared to the Affably Evil but murderous Ira, Channah has stronger morals but can be rather rude.
- Safety in Indifference: Tries to avoid caring through a mask of apathy. Tagg directly accuses her cynicism aspect, Truth, of hiding her feelings behind a mask of apathy so she can't get hurt again.
- Took a Level in Badass:
- Has been sliding into the inverted version of the trope more or less indifferently since quitting the Ace Trainer life, as she used to be very active in the competitive scene until Ira murdered her old team.
- Played straight in Galar, as she's attempted to get her old edge back through doing the Gym challenge.
- Transformation Trinket: Keeps an enchanted Flame Orb around her neck in order to control her weremon transformation.
- Unsportsmanlike Gloating: Back in her competitive days she was not exactly the most gracious in victory, often gloating about her opponent's perceived lack of skill upon winning in her post-match interviews.
- Verbal Tic: "Ehhh", "Nah", and every verbal pause under the sun.
A trainer from Castelia City. Works for Game Freak and is trying to get some variety in his life, to mixed success.

- Master of Illusion: His apparent specialty with his Obscuric powers.
- My Favorite Shirt: Really protective over his jacket.
- No Social Skills: Once found himself inadvertently flirting, never mind his relationship with a sizable amount of the J-Team can be boiled down to "coworker" sometimes.
- Our Werewolves Are Different: A more traditional example; as he's a were-Lycanroc as opposed to other weremons, but his transformations are invoked and suppressed by a [Sun Stone he has hidden under his jacket.
- Stepford Snarker: Describes that he had "a lot of help from bad movies".
- The Coats Are Off: If he should ever remove his jacket, something major is probably going down.
- Trademark Favorite Food: Loves drinking lemonade.

Roy Pherae-Lycia the Blaziken
- Badass Bookworm: He decoded the "Forbidden Instructions" in the back of the Prax Obscura after just two months of research.
- Fourth-Wall Observer: Played with. He knows his home was only made for a video game and that his story is done. But he can make his own story here.
Pyukumuku
- Attack Reflector: Knows and uses Counter, supplementing Toxic and other such moves.
- The Silent Bob: Never says a word, only communicating with simple "hand" gestures in person, and punctuation in text.
- Support Party Member: In larger battles she's used as a throwable Helping Hand, pausing to cure teammates with Purify as needed.
Caliburn the Kartana
- Put on a Bus: Released January 2020.
- The Unpronounceable: Defied. He says his name isn't pronounceable, but due to how UBese works his real name, before joining Colton's party, is pronounceable: "Washi".
Minerva the Zoroark

Ellie the Lycanroc
- In Memoriam: Added to the team after the death of Absent's dog.
Magnavox the Metagross
- The Big Guy: Larger than a normal Metagross, but not enough to raise too many concerns.

- The Speechless: Most of the few noises he makes are metallic groans and roars.
Cassandra the Absol
- Foreshadowing: She was met much sooner than she joined the team, giving Rei a Razor Claw to evolve with almost a year before joining. Rei even refers to her as a "wildhood friend."
Katsuragi the Runerigus
- Appropriated Appelation: Katsuragi would prefer that he be called "Katsuragi-sama" - not because of an Awesome Ego, but to keep him in check, as due to the incident below he gained delusions of royalty.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In his first appearance he was able to inflict this on a large number of goons, using the same method that he himself was also corrupted by.
- Really 700 Years Old: Reincarnated as a Galarian Yamask and left to rest in a stone tablet for some number of centuries.
A young trainer from Twinleaf Town in Sinnoh.
- Bad Liar: Crewe is noted to be a horrible liar.
- Barrier Warrior: After her encounter with Isolde in Mt. Ohmeg, Crewe gained the ability to form Obscura barriers, whereas formerly Obscura tended to explode in her face whenever she tried to use it. This separates her from the majority of Aurics in the RP, whose powers tend to focus more on the offensive side of their abilities.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: With Herbert.
- Berserk Button: Hurt anyone she considers her "pack" (or threaten to hurt them, or look at them funny...) and she will not hesitate to stab you.
- Blind Without 'Em: Crewe has very poor vision without her glasses, in fact it was the main reason that Mew decided to have pity on her and make her human.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In Orre, Crewe is Snagged and Shadowed by Cipher.
- Brats with Slingshots: Is often seen using the slingshot she made in Oblivia; in the AU, she complains because she's completely unarmed until she finds another slingshot on the Resistance sub.

- Disappeared Dad: Her human father's dead, and both her birth parents are dead as well.
- Dude Magnet: Jab, Straw (Who she's currently dating), Vierr, and Lucius have all exhibited an attraction towards her.
- Emergency Transformation: Turns out to be a Sneasel that was transformed into a human by a Mew. This was done to save her life, as her vision issues would've almost certainly caused her death in the wild. According to Word of God Crewe's human body is actually based on what a potential child of her human parents would've looked like had they been able to have kids, in order to better complete the illusion.
- Morphic Resonance: Crewe is often described as looking a lot like a Sneasel even while in human form.
- My Greatest Failure: So many of her mons leaving her due to Crewe not being the best trainer when it came to to the more emotional aspects of Pokémon training.

- Psychic Teleportation: Following her purification, Crewe gains Teleport, a Psychic-type move, as a purification move.

Clockwise the Noctowl
- Cloudcuckoolander: His default state, unless he's angry or confused.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Clockwise usually acts pretty crazy and out of it, but harm anyone on the team (or confuse him), and he becomes scarily competent.
- Papa Wolf: Threaten or hurt any member of his team, or his daughter Likewise, and Clockwise will hurt you.
Biton the Sneasel
- Big Brother Instinct: He is Crewe's oldest brother, and tends to treat her like a baby. Falls more under the "condescending" type.
Beedrill the Fan Rotom
- Non-Indicative Name: Thanks to Clockwise, his name is Beedrill, which tends to confuse people who don't know him.
- The Voiceless: Can only communicate in beeps and whirrs, unless he's using Hasslemon.
- Played by: Crowlover
First Appearance: Page 7511
- Beware the Nice Ones: While normally nice, when confronted with Verax during the climax of the Orre arc Crow planned on making him feel the pain of everyone he's ever hurt as revenge.
- Catchphrase: "[Interesting]* "
- Double Agent: Sort of. Crow works for both Titan while being a member of the J-Team, trying to get the former to stop his plans while trying to get the latter to not oppose them directly. They quit after Titan's Heel–Face Turn.
- Giver of Lame Names: Is acknowledged as someone who gives lame names to their Pokémon in-universe.
- Honor Before Reason: Crow's aversion to stealing caused him to be unwilling to snag Crewe from Odin when Titan ordered him to do so, even though he was unsure of any other way to accomplish it.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Was initially friendly towards Iulianus, Verax, and Tornadus and Thundurus before figuring out their intentions. Tagg ends up getting particularly pissed off at him for trusting Verax in particular since it ended up revealing J-Team secrets.
- I Have Many Names: Has gone by Crow, Albert, Triton, Beta, and Sholto, each in different circumstances.
- Insanely International Ancestry: Mostly Poké-Japanese, but Kalosian and Poké-German from his mother's side, unspecified Poké-European from his father's.

- Irony: Crow turns into a were-Honchkrow, a species known for thievery, but has a strong aversion to thievery themselves.
- Official Couple: With Sundancer.
- Pop-Cultural Osmosis Failure: Crow is completely ignorant of most pop culture references, to the pure incredulity of some others.
- Theme Naming: The Pokemon he caught in the Kalos Arc are named after characters from Worm, though this in unintentional in-Universe.
- Voice Changeling: Crow learned the ability to copy other's voices from Merle, but is unable to do so for female voices.

- Dogged Nice Guy: To Morrigan. Unfortunately, she already had Belial.
- Playing with Fire: Knows Fire Fang and used it to start a fire on Route 35 and the Burned Tower.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Due to an incident with a huggy Conkeldurr, Gogie is quite afraid of Fighting-types in general, though is trying to work on at least being able to socialize with the ones he wants to.
Ghostus (Male Haunter)

- Interspecies Romance: With Venomous, Crow's Venomoth.
Glöckchen (Female Abomasnow)
- Creepy Child: She is often silent, save for occasional rings of her bell and occasional creepy comments about what happens to naughty children. She maintains this after evolving.
Finn (Male Garchomp)
- Insistent Terminology: Refers to himself as a mole rather than a dragon and insists others do as well.
Irrendolch (Male Accelgor)
- "Blind Idiot" Translation: Speaks as if literally translated from German, though most idioms are preserved
Chirin (Male Dark/Electric Flaafy)

Jolly (Female Wingull)
- The Eeyore: Despite her name, is often pessimistic.
Sundancer (Female Talonflame)

- Rich Bitch: Is a member of the Le Bel family of Santalune Forest and doesn't have the highest view of most others.
- Played by: Daydre
A trainer from Pastoria who ends up joining the J-Team during the Hoenn-2 Arc.
For tropes pertaining to her alternate self Ama, see here.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: During the raid to acquire Aislinn's mask in Galar, Morata gets the mask on her, frenzying her as she turns on her allies.
- Casting a Shadow: Apart from her Pokéform being the Dark-type Zorua, she's a Dark Obscuric, though she's not as skilled with it yet.
- Little Bit Beastly: Has a scarf that functions as effectively a borked Armband, turning her into a human-Zorua hybrid.
- Red Oni, Blue Oni: Despite wearing the opposing red to Megan's blue, she's more of a Blue Oni, being the calmer and less Hot-Blooded of the two when not under the influence of cursed artifacts.
- Scars Are Forever: As a result of her final clash with Ama during Halloween 2019, she has a horizontal scar along the front of her chest.
- Ship Tease: She and Megan have mutual crushes on one another, but haven't become a couple yet.
- Played by: Jules-Firenze
- Badass Normal: Downplayed. Desmond is stronger and faster than most normal humans due to his conditioning during sword training, but he's not as strong as people who can, say, spar with Pokémon.
- Blood Knight: Somewhat Downplayed, but Desmond does love to fight. How else can he become a swordsmaster? His favorite types of people to battle are those who fight alongside their Pokemon, along with fellow swordsmasters. If he ever meets a person wielding a Pokémon as a weapon, he'll challenge them on the spot.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Desmond wears black clothes, and his Cool Sword Pokémon Morgan's Finishing Move is a black and red Sword Beam. However, he's a good guy who wants to be a knight.
- The Gambling Addict: Desmond has a love for Game Corners. So much so that even going into them with good intentions will end with him trying to bet away all his money. Morgan bans him from them for a good reason.
- Heroes Prefer Swords: Desmond wants to become a chivalrous knight, and his main Pokémon is Morgan, his Cool Sword.
- Knight Errant: Desmond does have a goal in becoming a great knight and swordsmaster, but when he isn't pursuing Gyms or battles, he usually wanders around.
- Master Swordsman: Downplayed. Desmond is very good at swordsmanship, even more so with Morgan, but he wouldn't be considered a master yet.
- Nice Guy: Desmond is pretty cordial to anyone who doesn't try to hurt him or his friends.
Morgan (Honedge)
- Always Accurate Attack: Due to her ability No Guard, attacks she uses or are aimed at her always hit. Since she's a sword, she clashes against most attacks anyway, making the latter point moot.
- Begin with a Finisher: Sometimes, she decides to spam Sacred Sword instead of clashing blades with them.
- Black Swords Are Better: Morgan isn't normally black. She has a dark red blade. However, she does sheathe her blade in a black energy when she uses Sacred Sword, her most powerful attack.
- Blade Spam: Morgan slashes repeatedly with Fury Cutter in order to quickly build up power.
- Blood Knight: Morgan's even more of this than Desmond. She constantly pushes him to fight strong opponents to test their strength, once lying about how many badges they had to Maylene in order for her to hold back less against them.
- Brown Note: Morgan knows Metal Sound, a debuffing move, which she uses by either hitting her sheath with her blade or scraping her blade on her sheath.
- Casting a Shadow: Morgan knows Shadow Sneak to create hands made of darkness. She can use these to slash with spectral claws or try to hold people in place.
- Cool Sword: Desmond's main partner, and a shiny sword Pokémon who kicks ass.
- Cutting Through Energy: Unless Morgan is weaker than the incoming attack, she can usually slice through elemental attacks.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Morgan's attacks usually show themselves with a black-and-red light, and she's a member of a species known for draining the life energy of those who grab their tassels, but Morgan herself is, though a bit of a hot-head, a nice gal. Just don't try to hurt her or her friends.
- Excalibur in the Rust: Played with. Since Morgan was left in the forest for possibly a hundred years, her extremely rusted sheath is all most people would've seen of her. However, her actual blade is quite shiny and looks well cared for, and she has no need for repairs.
- Fiery Redhead: Technically, as her appendage is red, and she can be hot-headed when battling.
- Implausible Fencing Powers: Justified, since Morgan isn't just an ordinary sword but a Ghost-type who can attack under her own power. She has several moves of different types which usually involve a Sword Beam of some sort.
- Sore Loser: Morgan tends to take battling seriously, and when she loses, at the least she sulks for a bit, the worst sorely asking for a rematch, or training Desmond harder.
- Shout-Out: Her name and the appearance of her Sacred Sword is reminiscent of Artoria Alter's Noble Phantasm, Excalibur Morgan.
- Speed Blitz: When Morgan uses Autotomize enough times, she becomes fast enough to clash with several opponents at once.
- Sword Beam: Several of Morgan's moves involve her slicing the air with energy, but her favorite move is Sacred Sword.
- Technicolor Blade: A shiny Honedge like Morgan has a dark red blade.
Billy (Remoraid)
- Fragile Speedster: Billy is fast enough to dart through fountains as nothing more than a blur, but a good hit from Morgan instantly knocks him out.
- Friendly Sniper: Billy is a pretty chill Pokémon, but don't mistake that for a lack of skill as he's capable of firing water blasts from up to 300 feet away.
- Improbable Aiming Skills: Remoraid are able to fire blasts of water from up to 300 feet away, and Billy has that range while moving.
- Played by: 0blivionmobile, later account-shifted to DuneTheWanderer
Dune, a.k.a. Derek Morton, is an explorer and aspiring archaeologist from Orre. He first found the J-Team in Humilau City during the Dream Rift Crisis, and has been following the group ever since.
- Adventurer Archaeologist: What he aspires to be.
- Adventurer Outfit: Of the "Archaeologist" variety, of course.
- Badass Normal: Has absolutely no Auric abilities as well as no Attribute. Only his fists, adrenaline, and training kept him from being killed by Verax during an ambush.
- Big, Screwed-Up Family: Dune's mother and father are rain and sun trainers that had a messy divorce and tend to fight whenever they see eachother. This combined with their shared disapproval for Dune's life choices has led him to avoid them whenever possible.
- Cornered Rattlesnake: While Dune is no slouch in combat, he is extremely sensitive to "do or die" situations and can become extremely strong and fast when backed into a corner.
- Disability Immunity: After getting mentally scarred by the Criminal, he's immune to telepathy, and Aura emotion reading doesn't work as well on him either.
- Dishing Out Dirt: His Pokéform is the Ground-type Drilbur.
- Goggles Do Something Unusual: Wears a pair of custom Go-Goggles, which protect his eyes from everything from sandstorms to cold rain to dirt getting thrown in his eyes.
- Heir to the Dojo: Dune is so far the only living practitioner of his ancestor's ancient martial art, the Hagane no Tsume.
- Muggle Born of Mages: His mother is a confirmed Auric, yet he has no potential of his own.
- Official Couple: Dates and later marries Galvani.
- Solomon Divorce: He went to live with their father, his little sister lived with their mother. A retroactive case of Real Life Writes the Plot.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Dune has a dislike for scorpion Pokémon like Gligar and Scorupi. He is also somewhat nervous around the Houndour line after an incident with Dawg while he was a Drilbur.
Galvani (Magnezone)
- All Theories Are True: In her eyes, they are. It might explain the fact that some of her inventions seem to view the laws of physics more as kindly-worded suggestions.
- Blind Without 'Em: Has a pair of large glasses in her human form. Her eyesight is 20/50, making her almost legally blind without them and some slight astigmatism in her left eye prevents her from wearing contacts.
- Creating Life Is Awesome: At least, when the life you make is a miniature version of Optimus Prime, it's awesome.
- Determinator: Even though she was brand new to her human form and couldn't fight, she still followed Dune through a raid on a Cipher facility as a human.
- Emphasize EVERYTHING: When she starts channeling her inner Spark, she starts speaking as if the whole WORLD WERE LISTENING!
- For Science!: Galvani has a thing for wanting to make things work, even if they work in ways they really shouldn't.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She's constantly improving on her more mundane devices, such as a customized Gameboy and Dune's hoverbike.
- Mad Scientist: Taking inspiration from Girl Genius (she even looks like Agatha Heterodyne) and Genius: The Transgression.
- No Plans, No Prototype, No Backup: A flaw in Galvani's method is that her creative benders are almost impossible to replicate.
- Science-Related Memetic Disorder: Has occasional bouts of inspiration that result in all-night benders that inevitably result in some device or another that may or may not break certain laws of physics.
- Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Turns out to be female after putting on an armband. Needless to say, it took Dune a while to get used to the fact that his starter, whom he referred to as masculine his entire life, was a dead ringer for Agatha Heterodyne.
Garuda (Male Sigilyph)
- Deadpan Snarker: Having a voice that barely registers emotions certainly lends itself to this.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Has sworn himself to Dune's service. Exactly how far this goes has not been tested.
Rill (Male Swampert)
- Only Sane Man: He's constantly having to deal with all of the different things that Dune's team, especially Galvani, get into.
Big Dom (Golurk)
- Good Old Fisticuffs: Being an Iron Fist Golurk, it only comes naturally.
- My Master, Right or Wrong: Similar to Garuda, but for different reason.
- Protectorate: Everybody close to him.
- Super Robot: Almost everything about him is a Shout-Out to one Mecha franchise or another.
Selene (Female Clefable)
- Big Eater: Especially if it involves something sugary.
- Team Mom: Is very motherly to everyone on the team, especially younger Pokemon.
Ajax (Male Tyranitar)
- My Species Doth Protest Too Much: Absolutely despises how Tyranitar are viewed as mindless brutes.
- Gentle Giant: And proud of it.
- Stop Being Stereotypical: Has actually verbally assaulted a Tyranitar he caught working for Cipher, driving it to tears.
Cun Annwn (Male Stoutland)
- Genre Savvy: Having watched many, many, many Sentai and Super Robot series, Cun can give eerily accurate predictions about future events involving team members, and can identify tropes by name.
- I Just Want to Be Special: Despite being a normal Lillipup from Castelia, Cun still tries to be the best hero he can be. He's even an unconfirmed Soul of Silver.
Hildr (Female Delta Donphan)
- Daddy's Girl: Despite knowing that Dune is not in fact her father, she still treats him as such. This has been toned down after her evolution into a Donphan.
Flanagan (Male Krookodile)
- Berserk Button: His ability is Anger Point; getting hit by a critical activates it and sends him into a frothing rage.
- Born Lucky: Claims to be this when it comes to winning bets.
Zeus (Male Stunfisk)
- A God Am I: Sees himself as a god amongst mortals, which is pretty much just bluster.
- Put on a Bus: After realizing just how much trouble he was going to be, Dune boxed him for the longest time, even after the rest of his mons joined him on a more permanent basis.
Champloo (Male Lucario)
- Fourth-Wall Observer: Much like his namesake, the Fourth Wall is more a suggestion than anything else.
- Shout-Out: To Mr. Champloo from Disgaea 3.
- Supreme Chef: His brownies are so good they will reduce a Shadow Pokemon's shadow gauge.
- Training from Hell: The training he does with Dune.
Vega (Male Excadrill)
- Heel–Face Turn: As with most Shadow Pokemon, he was once a near-mindless killing machine for Cipher. He got better.
- Ninja: Or at least it's what Teishi and his group think.
- Played by: Eskay 64
Eskay is a trainer from Ecruteak who makes it a point to be kind to everyone he meets. He first found out about the J-Team when he found out Umbra fought an Obscura wizard with some other members. In Hoenn-2, he and his gender-swapped identity as Sarah split and became completely separate individuals.
- A-Cup Angst/Petite Pride: As Sarah, she's not exactly well-endowed. She alternates between being perfectly fine with this fact, and wishing she was a little bit more.
- Achey Scars: A massive scar on his chest, originating from a Toxicroak that very nearly killed him, and worsened by being impaled within Psyche's mindscape, and has damaged some of his heart tissue.
- Attractive Bent-Gender: According to Lucius and Pentigan. Goes by "Sarah" in this state. Eventually splits into Eskay and a completely separate Sarah
- Author Avatar: Of his writer, although gradually less so over time.
- Badass Longcoat: Is always wearing a longcoat. Averted with Sarah, as a point of differentiating herself from Eskay.
- Dented Iron: As a result of getting stabbed by a Toxicroak during the Holon Arc and the Transistor during a dive into Psyche's Mindscape, while they managed not to die, they've had heart problems ever since, and so they're a bit less fit than they used to be.
- Disappeared Dad: Left when he was 3 years old and has only recently come back into his life.
- Hat Damage: His fedora has a long slit in the side due to a Noodle Incident while training Skye.
- Heart Trauma: After his Toxicroak-induced chest injury and later, impalement within Psyche's mindscape, he became much more fearful of being in the midst of action, due to a very real risk of heart attack.
- Heroic BSoD: After killing Deimos. The Orre arc in general left him with a case of PTSD.
- Impaled with Extreme Prejudice: With the Transistor in Psyche's mindscape
- Literal Split Personality: In the Hoenn-2 arc, where he and Sarah became entirely and permanently separate individuals.
- Missing Mom: She died when Eskay was 10 years old but came back six years later as a Delta Golurk.
- Official Couple: With Psyche following their Sleep Cute. Broke up with her later on, though.
- Older Than They Look: A family trait, due to being descended from Lina — they look a couple years younger than they actually are, although not quite to the degree of their mother.
- Sarashi: Wears one to protect the scar. After Noir transforms Sarah's Pokeform into Croagunk, she uses "Sarashi" as her name.
- Scars Are Forever: His Toxicroak-induced scar, which is far too massive to ever truly fade; he only survived in the first place through a Legendary-given miracle.
- Unfazed Everyman: Became this after a complete annihilation of the Fourth Wall, as supplied by Spectrum. Was finally fazed again by Herbert when he decided to try joining PEFE.
- Wholesome Crossdresser: Not against wearing a dress, even as Eskay.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Has a crippling fear of the Croagunk line due to a Toxicroak killing his mother in his presence. He started to get over it, but it was renewed fully when another Toxicroak almost killed him in the same way. Has mostly recovered from it as of Hoenn-2. Sarah is completely recovered.
- Your Mind Makes It Real: Although she managed to survive it, Sarah's impalement in Psyche's mindscape made their already-large scar even more noticeable and even more painful.
Skye (Female Skarmory)
- If It's You, It's Okay: Although she is for the most part solidly lesbian, she did have a hint of a crush on Lake.
- Interspecies Romance: With Diane, made reasonable through use of armbands.
- Like Brother and Sister: Being Eskay's starter, she shares an incredibly close bond with him. It's revealed during the Holon arc that they're actually cousins due to an ancestor of Skye's, Alice Amarin, being turned into a Skarmory.
- Official Couple: With Diane.
Jazz (Shiny Female Arbok)
- Deadpan Snarker: Always has a sarcastic quip.
Wilbur (Male Grumpig)
- Medium Awareness: His pearl opens him up to the fourth wall, much to his dismay.
Spectrum (Female Flygon)
- Heroic BSoD: Upon finding out she lost her voice when she evolved
- Meaningful Name: She speaks in colors of the visible light spectrum.
- Medium Awareness: She and other mons notice that she spoke in different colors depending on the situation as a Trapinch, but are unsure of how to describe it.
Doopliss (Masculine Ditto)
- Genre Savvy: During the Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door Whole-Plot Reference subarc, he jumped in and convinced the Doopliss that existed there to fulfill the plot itself to change his methods, all in order to screw with the protagonist group who were expecting things to go like the game.
- Medium Awareness: Is quite fond of vandalizing the Fourth Wall.
- Troll: Enjoys putting others through frustrating shenanigans for the hell of it.
Smuglord (Male Serperior)
- Ascended Meme: His name
Myra (Feminine Rotom)
- Haunted Technology: Possesses Linux in order to help the latter function properly in battle
- Shipper on Deck: Got Eskay and Psyche closer to each other by spooking them in the Old Chateau.
Banjo (Male Ursaring)
- Large Ham: Tends to be very LOUD.
Ria (Female Feraligatr)
MGMT (Male Eelektross)
- Shout-Out: To the band of the same name
- Sorry, I Left the BGM On: Can only sing due to an accident involving an iPhokex.
- Shock and Awe: Is Electric-type.
- Running Gag:
- People or Pokemon referring to MGMT as an "Overpowered Jukebox"
- Trolling Riptide and other "serious" characters
- Troll: As mentioned above, he enjoys irritating more "serious" characters.
Everest (Male Scolipede)
- Mythology Gag: His name is a reference to "Epic Mount", the meta name given to Treeo's Scolipede buddy in the AU.
Holly (Female Gardevoir)
- Expy: Of Captain Holly Short from Artemis Fowl.
- Played by: etran12
A Twenty year old wandering trainer who went on a journey to improve both his skills in battle, and his social skills.
- No Social Skills: Used to be this way, but is gradually learning the more he interacts with others.
A random Trainer from Nimbasa who ran into various members of the group during the Gold Conference and is now traveling with them. Since joining the group, they have met legendaries, patted a disguised Entei on the head, been turned into a Dunsparce, been sucked into an alternate timeline, and fallen in love, on top of discovering their non-binaryness.
- An Arm and a Leg: Loses their left arm during the Alola arc when a Kartana slices it off as they, Amanita, and Brie retreat from a Poni Island cave filled with them.
- The Apprentice: Is currently Tagg's.
- Badass Boast: When Zrone comes to try taking PEFE!Every away, Ever lists all the times that people have tried to kill them and they ended up killing them instead. While Zrone doesn't buy it and states later that had PEFE!Every not been there he would've tried killing them simply to piss off Tagg instead of leaving, he also admits it was still a gutsy move.
- Beware the Nice Ones: Is generally friendly and at least reasonably pleasant...and can scare a Crobat into defection with a glare, and doesn't take threats against their girlfriend Mezzo well.
- Beware the Silly Ones: Ever acts silly a lot of the time but is actually an extremely competent trainer and can be very ruthless in dealing with their enemies.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: Tokarev puts Every under mind control during Orre using a ring placed around their head.
- Broke Your Arm Punching Out Cthulhu: Ever manages to kill Muninn with Skarmory feathers, but they literally broke a lot of their upper body's bones to do so.
- Death Glare: Pretty much their signature move as a Dunsparce. Carried over a bit as a human.
- Headbutting Heroes: Does not get along with Amanita especially well at first, and the feeling's mutual.
- Identical Stranger: Meets a PEFE employee who looks exactly like them a few times. Turns out that's because they're both descendants of Revy.
- Idiot Hair: Zigzagged. Has an ahoge, though Ever is not particularly stupid, naive, or mischievous starting out. It gets played straight as they do get more strange as the story goes on though.
- Irony: Despite Ever's love of Ghost-types, they're quite afraid of death, physical or otherwise.
- Major Injury Underreaction: After getting their arm cut off by a Kartana they seem more worried about the phone their left hand was holding than their unwanted limb amputation.
- Many Spirits Inside of One: Ever is particularly susceptible to possession and can have numerous Ghost-types inside them at once.
- Meaningful Rename: Changes their name from Every to Ever in order to prevent enemies of the J-Team and people like All from easily finding them.
- Official Couple: Currently dating Mezzo, and also Lucius.
- Ship Tease: With Mezzo during the early AU, before becoming an Official Couple.
- Significant Wardrobe Shift: Following their name change from Every during the aftermath of the Orre arc, Ever dyes their hair and starts wearing all blue. Eventually, it ends up becoming their new natural hair color.
- The Mind Is a Plaything of the Body: Was absolutely awful at resisting instincts during their time as a Dunsparce, and tended to burrow underground at the first sign of danger.
- Took a Level in Badass: Went from merely an average trainer to one that managed to beat the Unova League and take on Tagg as an equal over the course of the two year period between the GC and Unova-2.
- Unfazed Everyman: Was actually pretty fazed at first, but eventually got used to it.
- Uneven Hybrid: It's revealed during the Entralink Arc that they, PEFE!Every, and All are all descended from Revy having a nonconsensual moment with Tapu Lele when he raided Akala centuries ago, so they all have Semi-Divine fairy blood.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is terrified of Ariados after nearly being killed by a swarm of them while starting out.
In the AU arc:
- And I Must Scream: Is placed under a Geass of silence by a Lelouch expy. For the next 24 hours, they are unable to make the slightest noise, rendering them mute and nearly immobile.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Ascribes this to a blow to the head during a fight with Scolipede's Cofagrigus.
Tropes that apply to the whole team:
- Barrier Warrior: They all know Protect.
- Battle in the Rain: Invoked, every one knows Rain Dance.
- Weak, but Skilled: Most of them lack the raw firepower their trainer's mentor Tagg's mons have at their disposal, so they focus more on outsmarting their opponents instead.
Diesel (Male Kricketune)
Every's first Pokemon, Diesel is far more powerful than his small size would suggest. He has a surprising range of attacks at his disposal, and is quite fond of putting opponents to sleep. Diesel is also completely obsessed with music, and has formed a band out of Every's Pokemon. Consequently, he strictly disallows Every from capturing any mon that can't create music somehow. Whereabouts in the AU are unknown.
- Berserk Button: Do NOT insult his music.
- Blade Below the Shoulder: Has blades for arms.
- Fragile Speedster: Fast, but can't take many hits.
Breeze (Male Chimecho)
A Chimecho caught as a Chingling, Breeze is one of the longer-standing members of Every's team. Despite his general childishness, Breeze is far smarter than he looks, and is a competent battler. Evolved to save Every's life when Every was bitten by an Ariados. Whereabouts in the AU are unknown.
- Green Thumb: Knows Energy Ball and Grass Knot.
- Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Usually acts like a small child, but appears to be one of the more powerful members of Every's team.
- Older Than They Look: Despite acting like a child, he's in his early 20s in human years. (According to Word of God Chimeco age mentally slower than humans.)
- Running Gag: Wondering or commenting on why Every can't fly.
Fade (Female Drifblim)
Fade was caught as a Drifloon by Valley Windworks when Every wanted a Ghost-type on his team, and Drifblim also appealed as a flier. However, Fade's efficiency as a flier is somewhat debatable, being as she usually drops Every from a few feet higher than is perhaps safe. Undead in the AU.
- Emotion Eater: Specifically fear.
- The Quiet One: And a Terse Talker when she does speak.
- Troll: She feeds on fear, and has no qualms about inspiring it through (sometimes quite nasty) pranks.
Gyru (Bronzong)
A Bronzor caught during the GC, Gyru quickly established an utter contempt for all things organic, and an absolute belief in its own superiority. Evolved into a Bronzong during a battle against a murder of Murkrow. Whereabouts in the AU are unknown.
- Fantastic Racism: Gyru hates organic mons.
- No Biological Sex: And has no respect for anything that doesn't share this trait.
Salamence (Female Altaria)
A fairly young Altaria that Every caught during the GC. She's friendly, happy to meet new people or Pokemon, and is an absolute Salamence fangirl, to the point of falling in love with one.. Is good friends with Breeze and T (an Unown T that follows Every around), and has declared herself unofficial aunt to Shahinne, Silent's Starly. Whereabouts in the AU are unknown.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Well, she is a cloud.
- Dominant Species Genes: Her father, Warclaw, is a Staraptor, but she takes mostly after her Altaria mother.
- Hammerspace: Her wings can apparently hide both Shahinne and Zubat well enough for them to play hide-and-seek.
- Our Dragons Are Different: After evolving during the battle with Nihilist!Tagg.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist: Is a Salamence fan (hence her name) and refuses to hear a word against them. Somewhat justified in that she's quite young.
Jab (Male Weavile)
Jab was caught completely by accident, when he tripped over an Ultra Ball and caught himself. He's only been on Every's team for a short time, so not much is known about him yet, but he seems to be quite active and fond of picking fights.
- Fragile Speedster: Jab appears to be quite quick and agile, but he can't take a hit to save his life.
- Leeroy Jenkins: Tends to pick fights with everything.
- Working with the Ex: Ends up working with Crewe during the Holon arc.
Marmalade (Female Flygon)
Marmalade was met in the Route 111 desert as a Trapinch, and has since proven herself a valuable member of Every's team. She's older than she would look and seems to be pretty intelligent.
- Foil: To Salamence. While Salamence is friendly and frequently has her head in the clouds, Marmalade is more down to earth and tends towards snarkiness. They both like kids though.
- Older Than They Look: Despite looking fairly young, she's probably among Every's older mons.
Cirrus (Male Golbat)
- Nature: Quirky.Ability: Inner Focus.Met: Aqua Headquarters in Fallarbor (Zubat).Favorite Move: Dragon Rage.
Cirrus is a Golbat whom Every received during a stint as a Team Aqua member. Zubat is somewhat odd, apparently believing himself to be a Dragonair. He seems nice though. Cirrus is no longer a member of Every's team, due to leaving after Every quit Team Aqua.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Yeah. He's pretty normal aside from his illusions of Dragonair-ness though.
Drift (Male Jellicent)
Drift's egg was received from Fool as a Christmas present. Drift is quite young, and is only just learning to speak, so his personality is largely unknown.
- Personal Space Invader: Taken up to eleven. He tends to phase into people and explore their internal organs.
Mix (Male Leafeon)
Mix is a Leafeon from Mr. Backlot's garden, who sought shelter in Every's hat to escape a hug-obsessed Spiritomb. When Mix refused to get off Every's head, Every caught him.
- Straight Gay: Is in a relationship with Butterscotch.
- Verbal Tic: Refers to all humans and Pokemon by two-word descriptors, such as referring to himself as an adaptable fox.
T (Unown T)
T is an Unown T of Unown origin, who spontaneously appeared in Jubilife City, and was befriended by Breeze. Has been tagging along with Every since then. T seems to put up with just about anything (Although it will occasionally question the sensibility of an action), and generally remains cheerful. Was in Every's narrative stream for a while during the AU, before leaving to do other things.
Note: T is not actually one of Every's mons. It is just a tagalong.
- Verbal Tic: Refers to itself as "this one," and adds a "the" before all proper nouns.
- The Watcher: Never takes action, and limits its interference to commenting.
- Played by: Pipping Fool
In the AU timeline, she wasn't as nice at first. A rather cruel and cold maiden who worked for Scolemis and had a Propoganda General in her ownership that would later become a very important character. After regaining her memories, she tries to help the situation by helping taking down Lanius. After the battle agaisnt Cyrus, she goes back to her home in Hoenn and lives for her parents before going back to Unova for a short time. She is then ratted out, chased back to Hoenn, captured, and hanged in Unova. She was a Banette but won her full life back after taking on all the Midori Room Pokemon in a specialized Spirit Game.
- Birds of a Feather: Tagg and Fool's attraction to one another can be described as this.
- Brainwashed and Crazy: In the Orange Islands arc. Due to the influence of a certain accursed Mask.
- Cool Big Sis: Takes a sort of motherly attitude towards some of the other J-Team members, especially Vierr.
- The Corruptible: Considering her Face–Heel Turn in the AU arc and her tendency to become the Monster of the Week in earlier arcs, Fool would count as particularly corruptible.
- Cute and Psycho: Has some minor unhinged tendencies due to being part of a Simipour troop and participating in interspecies combat, but over the years they've abated for the most part as she's spent more time around other humans.
- Defeat Means Friendship: Obtained several Pokémon that she battled against in the Gold Conference.
- The Exile: Is exiled from her old Simipour troop on pain of death for killing the Simipour she was supposed to be mated with.
- Frying Pan of Doom: Has one, and isn't afraid to use it.
- Genki Girl: Is very energetic.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Has a tendency to blindly trust rather suspicious or spurious individuals, like Constantin.
- Lady of Black Magic: Is one of the more powerful Obscurics (both Dark and Ghost) in-universe to the point where she's able to create life from her Obscura and she ain't too shabby on the offensive side either. Though she uses her powers mainly in day-to-day tasks.
- Jabba Table Manners: Her table manners leave much to be desired.
- Jungle Princess: Grew up in the Pinwheel Forest being raised by Simipour after her parents died.
- Naïve Newcomer: In the beginning. She grows out of it.
- Official Couple: With Tagg.
- Omnicidal Maniac: Majora!Fool, who tried dropping the Moon on the Orange Islands.
- Raised by Wolves: Or in her case, Simipours.
- Superpowered Evil Side: Majora!Fool and later Noir certainly counts as one for Fool, though after the latter's exile from her mindscape she become's Sol's Enemy Without.
- Unskilled, but Strong: Compared to Tagg she has a lot more raw power, but isn't always the best at fine control.
- Wrong Context Magic: Her Obscura powers aren't the result of being born with them or a monform caused mutation, but were taken from her Noir aspect.

- Big Brother Is Watching: Had a robust surveillance system throughout Undella Town.
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Has a sweet demeanour hiding a rotten core.
- Dressed to Kill: Often wears fancy clothing and has killed many people with the Midori Mons.
- Even Bad Men Love Their Mamas: Despite the awful things she did in Unova, it was said by Napoleon that she adored her parents so much that she would change her ways for them. Hence, why he burnt all the messages sent to her from her.

- Heroic BSoD: Once she gets her Memories back, this happens.

A Trainer from Sinnoh, specifically Jubilife City, who is honestly more content following others and enjoying life's simpler things... at least, as simple as being involved with the J-Team in any way gets.
- The Apprentice: Has been described as being one to Lucius, though how true this is has yet to be seen. Later averted as the two have split paths for the time being.
- Author Avatar: To an extent, at least. Though, the name alone should've tipped you off to that fact.
- Disappeared Dad: Downplayed. He didn't outright disappear entirely, but didn't interact with Halis very much at all during their upbringing. His location is more or less public knowledge, given that he owns a company.
- Giver of Lame Names: Seriously, who names an Aron "Aran" and isn't this trope?
- Iconic Item: A scarf. They almost always wear one, even when it's illogical to do so.
- Morality Pet: Intended on being one to Lucius to some extent. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have worked out, though that was due to Halis themselves leaving the arrangement.
- Morphic Resonance: As previously mentioned, they almost always wear a scarf, even in alternate forms of theirs.
- Performance Anxiety: Any large amount of attention is enough to make them, at the very least, nervous. It's part of why they prefer being a follower rather than a leader.
- Powers via Possession: Has undergone this multiple times, usually due to unnatural circumstances forcing it on them in some fashion, though they don't mind working with whoever's fused with them.
- Scarf of Asskicking: A long, pink one, and unlike most examples of this trope, they usually have the sensibility to take it off before anything important happens... or, at least, they used to.
- Shout-Out: Has had multiple instances of this, from their Mon form being named Halsei to having a Tauros named Asterios.
- Voluntary Shapeshifting: Through an enchanted scarf, naturally.
- Speaks Fluent Animal: Anyone who's been in Mon form before has this ability, and Halis is no different.
- Played by: theoncominghoop
- Abusive Parents: Their father was, in short, not a great parent. Hoops clearly has a lot of issues relating to their upbringing.
- Animal Motifs: Their gym uniform is designed after Kecleon, and their challenger number is Kecleon's number in the National Pokedex.
- Berserk Button: They use they/them pronouns. If you get that wrong, you will be told about it in rather impolite terms.
- Combat Pragmatist: Due to their team being somewhat weak, they tend to rely on strategies such as combo moves and outside the box tactics in their battles.
- No Social Skills: Due to not having a very social childhood they sometimes don't know how to talk to their friends like a normal person.
- Only One Name: Invoked, they never use their legal surname (Thorn) due to its connection to their abusive father.
- Scars Are Forever: Both arms are badly scarred from being burned by Centiskorch as a child. The scars apparently itch when Hoops thinks they will lose.
- Superpowered Evil Side: While not evil per say, Hoops becomes a lot more anger driven and efficient in their tactics when they fear they may lose.
- Weak, but Skilled: All of their Pokémon have relatively low stats that limit their usefulness. They work to overcome this.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: They have a fear of Centiskorch due to being badly burnt by one as a child.

An expert Pokémon Trainer that has been into Pokémon battling for a living since he was a child.
- All Love Is Unrequited: This is what happens every time he falls in love. Eventually he just stopped looking for it. Eventually subverted by Hikari.
- Awesomeness by Analysis: How he got his moniker, "The Pokémon Genius", he can quickly figure out how something works, and how people work from their actions, and used this to effectively plan out Batman Gambits mid-battle. After Elityria died, the trauma caused him to lose the ability to do this. As he's recovered he's gotten back into this, such as when he identified how Leng's Tsubame Gaeshi worked and a way to counter it after seeing it once.
- Badass Normal: The only thing remotely special about him is that he can understand Pokémon speech, but other than that, he's very good at Pokémon battles having fought three or four every day for about five years, and more than capable of holding his own when needed, able to wield a sword with frightening skill with minimal training. In a practice spar with Tagg he even manages to draw with him.
- Batman Gambit: Despite being a genius effectively only in name, he's rather effective at pulling these off. An example of which is during Orre, he knows Titan is going to underestimate him in a battle and makes use of that to rescue Regina from him.
- Chess Motifs: Is quite fond of using chess metaphors.
- Comically Serious: Has shades of this from time to time.
- Death Glare: Fond of giving these when he starts getting mad, and can glare hard enough to occasionally freeze water over.
- Determinator: Explained by himself, given a reason or if his friends or people he cares about on the line, short of death he will stop at nothing and never stop until he succeeds. Lampshaded by RedEyes!Zeal in their Mindscape battle, he's still trying to fight after being disarmed, impaled by several dozen swords, and bleeding out, and laughs, mocking that he doesn't have any more free space to be stabbed.
- Dual Wielding: Duel wields two black and white blades known as Kanshou and Bakuya. It's the most natural style for him, so natural in fact that whenever he went from one sword to dual wielding mid-combat, he was immediately more effective, such as in the battle against RedEyes!Zeal or in his own Mindscape.
- Friendly Rival: Seems to have this kind of relationship with Sakura at first, but actually plays this more straight with Eskay.
- Gadgeteer Genius: Is able to make very interesting gadgets and apps for his laptop, such as developing a battle simulator to test his chances of beating certain tough opponents, to building Herbert a holographic arm-mounted PC for Christmas. Also develops a fully functioning Virtual Reality chamber in his house.
- Heroic BSoD: Losing Regina did quite a number on him.
- Incurable Cough of Death: As a result of the Toxic, until it actually got cured.
- Jerkass/Jerk with a Heart of Gold/Nice Guy: Which one he is depends heavily on the circumstances, though he's definitely on the Nice Guy side of things as of late after starting as a Jerkass.
- Love Makes You Evil: Not really the case, but in the J-Team TV Show, he's a villain for this reason.
- My Greatest Failure: Considers his failure to prevent his friend Cosette from being raped and Trinity's near-death to be this.
- Scars Are Forever: Has an X-shaped scar after getting slashed by Red Eyes!Zeal during Unova-2.
- What the Hell, Hero?: Several incidences, mostly towards his introduction by virtue of being unstable. See below.
- Well-Intentioned Extremist: Wasn't afraid of sinking as low as Cipher during Orre, even planning on using Sylva as bait for them. Some members of the team didn't take this well.
- Played by: skyzerk

When he was 15, his parents were killed by a member of Team Galactic known as Wesker The Whisperer, who burned their house down with them still inside.

- Heroic BSoD: After the Curb-Stomp Battle.
- Nice Guy: Besides his utter hatred of Wesker, he's an okay guy, going from one city to another just find a family heirloom of a little old lady, and frequently treats people to all you-can-eat meals, him paying.
- Talking with Signs: Communicates with his Pokemon by having them write down what they want to say on a notepad he carries around, and he replies to them.(Usually not with Mirror as he can the two of them can just communicate telepathically.)
- Tragic Keepsake: His locket, it houses the only photos of him and his parents that he has, as they were almost all burnt in the fire at his house.
- Villain Takes an Interest: Wesker did, after their battle.
- Waistcoat of Style: Likes wearing these.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: Is pyrophobic, he paralyses in fear and memories when he sees a blaze of fire, which makes being around Denise uncomfortable for him.

A 23 year old trainer (15 at his debut) born and raised in Eterna City, Sinnoh, who met the group in Virbank City. His father was a Team Galactic commander who disappeared a week before the events at Spear Pillar, and his goal ever since has been to find him and bring him to justice. Lucius is an antisocial loner with severe trust issues and a vicious mean streak - and yet to those few he manages to befriend, he shows a much softer and more vulnerable side. Since joining the J-Team, he has starred in a movie, started to learn how to use Aura, taken command of an army of Pawniard, and gotten roped into a love triangle.
Mid-way through the Kalos arc, he decided to leave the J-Team and travel solo with his close friend Alice. He returned during Ranger-2, having taken up the Batman-esqe alter-ego of "the Auric Avenger". He was mostly known as Herbert prior to Ranger-2.
- Affectionate Nickname: Carol (amongst others) calls him "Herby".
- Always Someone Better: Amongst his many insecurities is a crippling inferiority complex, which causes him to view nearly everyone else as this.
- Arch-Enemy: Alexiel, though he just sees Lucius as an annoyance.
- Apologises a Lot: When he's not being a massive Jerkass.
- Bad Liar: You don't need to be a Heart of Gold to tell if he's lying or not. Tagg even describes him as almost as bad at lying as Crewe.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension: Him and Crewe are into each other, but they also like to snark at each other.
- Berserk Button: Don't call him short.
- Boxing Lessons for Superman: Prior to Ranger-2, he goes through martial training with Alice, who teaches him to rely less on Aura and more on mundane combat skills in order to combat the increasing number of Illusion and Neo-Galactic members with Aura Jammers.
- Butt-Monkey: To be fair, though, most of the time he deserves it. Most of the time.
- Byronic Hero: Played with to some extent. He's certainly dark and brooding, with both strong personal convictions that often run contrary to the majority and a troubled past. However, he's less "handsome, intelligent and cunning" and more "scrawny, headstrong and impulsive". In addition, whilst plots involving him are usually dramatic, he's not above moments of levity.
- Casanova Wannabe: If it's female and human, Lucius will attempt to flirt with it. This leads to a Once Done, Never Forgotten moment when he tries to flirt with a genderbent Eskay.
- Chick Magnet: Despite his poor flirting record Carol, Crewe, Samantha, Alice, and Sarah have all had feelings for him at some point.
- The Cowl: As the Auric Avenger he's a gloomier superhero, in contrast to Shingeko's Cape.
- Deadpan Snarker: Both he and Tagg spend a lot of time snarking at whatever they encounter in their adventures.
- Determinator: Develops into this over time. Lucius is simply too stubborn to quit, no matter what he goes through or how much punishment he takes.
- Determined Defeatist: Lucius is a firm pessimist, and yet his stubbornness drives him to keep fighting even in the face of overwhelming odds.
- Discard and Draw: After getting revived he loses his classical Aura powers, but gains Ghost Obscuric abilities as a result of his new body.
- Do Not Call Me "Paul": He mostly went by Herbert, for reasons he kept to himself. After Kalos he decides to start going by Lucius again.
- The Empath: A novice Auric, though just because he's able to read people's emotional state doesn't mean he pays any attention to it. He loses those abilities once he's revived.
- Expecting Someone Taller: Inverted when Sarah meets Lucius again in Fiore when it turns out he's managed to grow a few inches in the interim.
- Hates Being Touched: Downplayed. Lucius doesn't like physical contact and rarely initiates it himself, but never reacted adversely to it. Then Orre rolls around, and he develops a crippling fear of being touched by anyone, Duke in particular due to the beating he handed him while Shadowed. He's begun to overcome this phobia, however.
- I Have Many Names: Has four real names, one personal alias, and no less than five separate nicknames of various quality.
- Innocent Bigot: As a result of being raised by a Team Galactic commander, he has some rather... backwards views about Pokémon prior to being set straight. He's not as bad as Galactic are, but he doesn't see Pokemon as anything more than intelligent but still inferior animals and the concept of a human/Pokemon relationship utterly revolted him. This gets him a vicious ass-whooping at the hands of Diane. Eventually he learns to become more accepting of Pokemon as sentient creatures.
- Insistent Terminology: He's "vertically challenged" regarding his shortness.
- Insult of Endearment: Crewe's mocking appellation of "fruitcake" comes to be used in a more affectionate context over time.
- It's Personal: He considers his vendetta against Alexiel to be deeply personal. Alexiel, of course, doesn't consider him to be anything more than a particularly persistent nuisance.
- Jerkass: His stubbornness, tendency to hold grudges, and casually mean-spirited commentary even in the most inappropriate of situations doesn't win him many friends, yet Lucius can (usually) be called upon to do the right thing when it counts.
- Luminescent Blush: Whenever he is embarrassed in front of a girl. Which is pretty much always.
- Knight in Sour Armor: Like Tagg has has a rather cynical view of the world, but still fights to protect the helpless anyway.
- Official Couple: With Samantha, until their breakup. Their relationship was hardly as straight an example as most couples in the RP, however; having a girlfriend doesn't make him any less afraid of long-term commitment, and whilst he genuinely cares for Samantha, he still has difficulties keeping his feelings for other girls in check.
- Open Mouth, Insert Foot: He wouldn't get into half as many fights if he could just keep his mouth shut on occasion.
- Made of Iron: For a frail teenager, Lucius is ridiculously hard to kill. Justified during Okamiquest, however, as the Orange Locket provides him with a Healing Factor.
- Name of Cain: His surname is Cain, and just like IRL, having that name has given him nothing but trouble.
- Never Be Hurt Again: One of his driving motivations. After everything he went through in Orre, he's determined to prevent such a situation from ever occurring again.
- Principles Zealot: Samantha compares him to Rorschach because of his refusal to compromise his values under any circumstances.
- She Is Not My Girlfriend: Towards Carol, even though Everyone Can See It.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: With Tagg and Ammy at the beginning of Okamiquest, though they later all end up becoming Fire-Forged Friends. His friendship with Tagg collapses after the events of Orre, however, but is reforged after he gets revived.
- These Hands Have Killed: Experiences this after killing Edge, which causes a brief period of Heroic BSoD.
- Thou Shalt Not Kill: In contrast to Tagg, who doesn't have quite as many issues with killing. During the Okamiquest arc he becomes more of a Martial Pacifist.
- Tiny Guy, Huge Girl: Samantha was nearly six inches taller than him when he first started dating her, though he's closed the gap somewhat since then.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: With Lyuri. Until Orre, where the "best buds" bit disappeared, and hard. Eventually the two repair their friendship, though it took them the better part of a year to do so.
- Would Hit a Girl: Even when sparring with his own girlfriend, he shows no more restraint than he would against anybody else.
Tropes that apply to AU!Herbert:
- Dropped a Bridge on Him: Gets killed by a Scolipede after calling it a dumb animal.
- Too Dumb to Live: Insulting the invading army of Pokémon supremacists probably wasn't the best idea.
Tropes that apply to the whole team:
- Shout-Out Theme Naming: They're all named after characters from various Sci-Fi franchises.
Kirk (Male Lucario)
Kirk is Lucius' starter, and is rather more boisterous than most Lucario.
- Blood Knight: Never shies away from a fight.
- Boisterous Weakling: Downplayed. Kirk can actually fight, and is probably the second-strongest Pokemon on Lucius' team, but he can almost never back up his boasts about being able to beat everyone in the room.
- Characterization Marches On: Wasn't nearly as much of a Jerkass during his first appearances.
- Horrible Judge of Character: Inverted. Because of a misunderstanding, he believes the kind and emphatic Eskay is a murderer and is highly hostile towards him.
- Jack of All Stats: In combat, though he occasionally slips into being a Master of None.
- Jerkass: Kirk can like his trainer often be a bit of an asshole, especially towards mons he considers annoying and weak such as Gogie.
- Put on a Bus: During the end of Holon and entirety of Orre.
- Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Leaves Herbert's team due to a combination of feeling like he was being held back and Herbert seemingly dying.
- Sore Loser: Towards Seth after their first time facing each other.
- Those Two Guys: With Ripley.
In the AU, Kirk's belief in Pokemon supremacy led to him abandoning Herbert and joining Scolemis, indirectly leading to the former's death. After Scolemis collapsed, he signed up with the Seven Jerk Dragons instead, despite his non-draconic origins.
Tropes that apply to AU!Kirk:
- Blood Knight: Even more so than in the OU.
- Jerkass: Surprisingly enough, he actually comes off as less abrasive than his OU counterpart, though this may just be by the standards of the AU.
- Jerk with a Heart of Jerk: Unlike his OU counterpart, however, he shows no signs of trying to improve his attitude - he's an unrepentant Blood Knight who abandoned his own trainer, has no qualms about serving a brutal and oppressive regime and is perfectly willing to betray his own allies for a chance at political advancement.
- Remember the New Guy?: A former Scolemis officer and a major player in the AUnova political scene... who just happened to have never shown up in the original AU arc.
Maul (Male Alakazam)
Maul was given to Lucius by his father. Though he is a capable telepath, he never speaks, except in cryptic half-sentences.
- Cryptic Conversation: He'd specialise in these, if he ever said more than one sentence at a time.
- Fragile Speedster: Fast, but he can't take many hits.
- The Gadfly: His purpose in life seems to be to confuse and annoy Herbert as much as possible.
- The Quiet One: Doesn't talk much.
- Scars Are Forever: Has a massive scar running across his chest, courtesy of Edge.
Ripley (Female Weavile)
Ripley was caught by Lucius near Snowpoint City, although she doesn't seem to like her trainer much and regards him as more of an annoyance than anything. Eventually traded to Joseph prior to Orre.
- Mama Bear: She does care about Newt's well-being and hurting (or losing her in the case of Joseph) is a good way of earning her rage.
Newt (Female Sneasel)
Ripley and Rogue's eldest (and only) daughter, Newt was the product of what was supposed to be a one-night tryst in Lentimas. Despite technically being Lucius' Pokemon, she spent most of her time with Joseph before finally being officially traded to him.
- Deliberately Cute Child: She often utilizes her young age to help her charm potential con victims, with varying degrees of success.
- Little Miss Con Artist: A compulsive kleptomaniac.
Bishop (Male Scizor)
Bishop was a former Shadow Pokemon, found and rescued by Lucius in Orre. He is fiercely loyal to Herbert because of this.
- Badass Adorable: At least according to Sakura.
- Beware the Nice Ones: A friendly, polite and reserved Pokemon who despises violence in all its forms... who also happens to be the strongest Pokemon on Lucius' team and in possession of powerful paternal instincts. Messing with him or his team is a very bad idea, as Teacher found out.
- Dark and Troubled Past: As a Shadow Pokemon, he tore two Cipher members to shreds and almost killed Herbert when they first met.
- Deadpan Snarker: It's subtle, but Bishop's brand of wit is rather sarcastic. Get him angry - a difficult feat - and he unleashes a vicious barrage of snark.
- Fate Worse than Death: Seems to consider becoming a Shadow Pokémon as such.
- Glass Cannon: As a Scyther, Bishop was powerful, but he could barely take even a couple of hits.
- Jumped at the Call: Was quite eager to evolve and probably would do so immediately was it not for Herbert deciding to wait for a while.
- Lightning Bruiser: He seems to have become one upon evolution.
- Nice Guy: One of the only Pokemon on Herbert's team willing to place the wellbeing of others above his own.
- Papa Wolf: Possesses strong paternal instincts and is highly protective of his team.
- Platonic Life-Partners: Is still good friends with Seth despite him not reciprocating his crush.
- Straight Gay: He has a crush on Sakura's Scizor, Seth, who doesn't reciprocate.
- Team Dad: The one responsible for taking care of his team, especially without Kirk around.
- Undying Loyalty: To Lucius, to the point where he will inflict Disproportionate Retribution on anyone that threatens him.
- Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?:
- Stone Edge: Possibly the move he was hit with the most ever since his debut, though that's bound to change since he's now a Scizor.
- Shadow Pokémon: Completely froze upon facing Shadow!Duke, but has learnt to face his fear after multiple encounters with other Shadows.
Elan (Male Bibarel)
A Bibarel Lucius was given in Sinnoh as a HM user, Elan spends most of his time boxed.
- Quirky Bard: Like his namesake.

A Politoed from the Dream World, caught by Lucius in Castelia City.

A hyperactive young Scraggy caught by Lucius on Route 4 in Unova.

- Motor Mouth: Has his moments, sometimes accompanied by fellow Motor Mouth Shale for double the headache and confusion.
Falchion (Male Bisharp)
A Pawniard that formerly worked for Edge's Pawniard army, which kidnapped Carol. Falchion was taken captive by Luicus and is now forced to work for him instead.
- Defeat Means Friendship: After his defeat, Edge's last order to him was to follow Herbert's orders, and he does so to the best of his ability. Doesn't mean he likes it, however.
- Dirty Coward: Will utilise any means possible to get out of a fight.
Samus (Female Tranquill)
A Dream World Tranquill, Samus was originally caught by Lucius as a Pidove in Opelucid City.
- Cloudcuckoolander: Divorced from reality to an almost dangerous extent, to the point where she refers to Aelia as a "nice scientist lady" and enjoys being forcibly multityped.
Harkness (Male Monferno)
Originally a Chimchar caught by Jacob in the Unova League at the peak of the Dream World crisis, Harkness has since been traded to Lucius and evolved into a Monferno.
- The Slacker: Terminally work-shy, and spends most of his time inside his ball.
Revan (Male Dusknoir)
Lucanus' closest companion during his life, Revan died at the hands of the Ghost Lord, only to be resurrected as a ghost himself. He spent the next six centuries in a Holonese tomb before eventually being found by Lucius' team. Is also Maul's ancestor.
- Broken Pedestal: Suffers from this after learning about Lucanus' Face–Heel Turn.
- Desperately Looking for a Purpose in Life: Lucius calls him out for allowing his entire existence to revolve around Lucanus, and ever since he has been uncertain about what to do with himself.
- The Gadfly: Much like his descendant.
- Jerkass: Takes a perverse sort of pride in being as much of an annoying asshole as possible.
- Vitriolic Best Buds: Despite his apparent disdain for the man, he genuinely liked and admired Lucanus.
Kerrigan (Female Machop)
A Shadow Pokemon that Lucius snagged from a pair of Cipher Peons in Orre.

- Nice Guy: He is rather kind to people he meets.
Denshi (Female Raichu)
Eridanus's starter that has been received as a Pichu from a friend that's also her former Trainer.- Cloudcuckoolander: Her actions show this sometimes. For example, when it was revealed that her Hidden Power would be a Dragon-type, she pretended to be a dragon.

Forge (Masculine Magnemite)

- Genius Bruiser: He is the smart guy of the team, but at the same time, his combat abilities aren't behind the rest of the team.
Fox (Male Trapinch)
Trapinch caught back in Hoenn on Route 111.- Spirited Competitor: Seeks to improve his combat abilities. However, he can go easy on someone if needed.
Vivi (Male Fennekin)
A Fennekin received from Sycamore's assistant.- The Prankster: Sometimes plays a prank on someone, like setting them on fire ala anime gag.

Meddler ended up getting ditched by Gamer in a bookstore. She spent the next two years looking for Gamer, somehow becoming a Sinnoh champion along the way. She eventually caught up to her brother and traveled with the J-Team for a while before returning home to focus on school and run from her feelings. But with the arrival of the J-Team in Hoenn, Rebecca's wanderlust was reawakened, and she has rejoined the J-Team in search of a good adventure.

First appearance: Page 1667.
- Alliterative Name: Mezzo Morendo.
- Ascended Fangirl: She used to write fanfiction of the team before she joined them, though she now considers it an Old Shame. (Tagg and Gamer taking turns mocking it while ignorant of the writer's true identity probably also helped.)
- Bifauxnen: Several people have mistaken her for a boy due to her short haircut.
