Medicham [Telepathy]
Fighting/Psychic
4'00"|60 lbs.
This was the last Pokemon Forrest obtained. He found a Meditite under some rubble while two Pokemon Trainers were battling nearby. Flygon and Breloom helped save her and she has a stronger connection with them than the others.
Medicham is a surveyor more than anything. Her role is to communicate to her party-mates the current situation at large. Her Psychic and Fighting capabilities aren't proficient enough to cover or cross a field. When she is forced to fight, she takes the defensive and has unbelievable endurance, but her maneuvers are less damaging than the average Medicham.

Banette [Infiltrator]
Ghost/Dark
3'05"|23 lbs.
Forrest noticed a Shuppet following him while he was ascending Mt. Pyre. It attempted to scare him a couple times, but always seemed to fail. Eventually it got frustrated enough with Forrest's dismissive attitude and instigated a battle. Once she saw how powerful the Trainer's Pokemon were, she couldn't help but see a greater path in life than her current one. It was also the first time someone didn't run away in fear at the sight of her.
She is very aggressive and cocky. Once hit a couple times, she will get serious. But she enjoys attempting to frighten others, whether in a battle or not. But, it often comes off as goofy to the more-experienced. Still, she is physically strong and relatively quick. She always loses races with Shiftry, but can match him in power. She also relies on evasion and surprise more than brute strength.

Flygon [Sand Rush]
Ground/Dragon
7'02"|247 lbs.
With Trapinch's Arena Trap, Forrest and Nuzleaf were trapped in a battle with him. He proved to be more diligent and proud than either Forrest or Nuzleaf. When both wished to end the battle and pleaded with Trapinch to allow them to escape, he only shook his head and urged them to continue. Forrest just threw a Pokeball in response.
He will always create a Sandstorm when beginning a battle since he knows to move through it well and attack from any angle where the opponent might be unaware. Outside of a Sandstorm, however, his speed is unremarkable. Like Shiftry and Banette, his forte is physical combat, but he knows how to use special maneuvers when pressed.

Breloom [Effect Spore]
Grass/Fighting/Poison
4'04"|107 lbs.
While camping in Petalburg Woods, a Shroomish started to rummage through Forrest's stuff. He tried to shoo it away, but it seemed more concerned about stealing than the fact it was stealing from a Pokemon trainer. He sent out Seedot and Surskit to work their Bubble Bide technique. Night after night Forrest would have to deal with this Shroomish until he was fed up enough to catch it.
Breloom is the arguably the best, beside Shiftry, with physical offensive strength and, beside Medicham, physical endurance. He's not known to move quickly during battles, but he can counter almost any attack with one of his own. He's as competitive as Banette, but much more personal and reserved about it. When Forrest is asked to help train someone in physical offense or defense, he uses Breloom as an example. Breloom is too proud to perform any absorbing technique, not only because of his poor Special Attack, but because it compromises his endurance, or he thinks it does.

Shiftry [Chlorophyll]
Grass/Dark
4'09"|128 lbs.
After a trainer had defeated a Seedot, Forrest saw it crying while a group of its friend attempted to heal it. He offered to take it to the Pokemon Center, and they seemed to agree. He was followed by a group of the seedlings back to Oldale Town. The only complication was that the Seedot didn't want Forrest to leave, so he didn't.
Shiftry combines his speed and accuracy to perform devastating physical blows. However, he's a glass cannon when it comes to combat. Like Breloom, he despises the idea of using Synthesis, but is much more likely to perform it when a battle begins to turn for the worse. Shiftry is one of Forrest's only Pokemon, other than Masquerain, that will concede before being beaten to a pulp. If he can't win by skill and perseverance, he's not going to martyr himself and become a punching bag.

Masquerain [Swift Swim]
Bug/Flying/Water
2'02"|7 lbs.
Forrest's mother was teaching a class about catching Pokemon on Route 103. During a lunch break, Forrest wandered into Route 102 without her knowing. He came across a wild Surskit. He snuck up behind it, knowing he didn't have a Pokemon of his own to weaken it, and threw the Pokeball he'd stolen off her desk. Now, they're inseparable.
She is the only Pokemon that cares more for the aesthetics of performance than pure effectiveness. She's certainly developed highly effective methods, but if it doesn't look perfect in her eyes, she's quick to throw a fit. If a Pokemon disrupts her, she makes sure to punish them, and often with ten times the force. She takes pride in her beauty and wishes Forrest would perform in more Coordinator Competitions.

Character Sheet:
Name: William Laurence
Age: 34
History:
Will was born to a well-to-do family in Vermillion City, and spent the first two decades of his life there. Though his parents spent much of their time at sea, he loved them dearly and would watch the tide come in waiting for them to return from their voyages. When he was 10 years old they gave him his first pokemon: Eevee. He named it Drexel, and two became inseparable. Day in and day out he would train Drexel against the other children of the city, and it was then he decided he wanted to devote his life to pokemon. His parents, however, had different plans for him. They forbade him from leaving home and travelling the world as a Pokemon Trainer. Instead they enrolled him in University in Saffron City to do something they deemed proper for a boy of his class. On the day of his departure they presented him with a waterstone as a final farewell, telling him to always remember his roots in Vermillion. With only a few pairs of clothes and his only pokemon, a Vaporeon named Drexel, he set out for Saffron.

At University he spent much of his spare time in amateaur leagues battling other students and young people from the city. He began to make a name for himself, battling his way even into the more mature leagues. The realities of the world soon began to reveal themselves however. Team Rocket, a name he had thought was only from stories meant to scare young prospective trainers, began to make a comeback in the city. Things got bad, and quickly. Students and citizens alike began reporting stolen pokemon to the city authorities. It was around this time that Will’s life would take a drastic change. Walking the streets of Saffron he was attacked and chased into an alleyway. The first time he would use his pokemon in a real battle, the experience shook him. Though he and Drexel made it through ok, he knew that he wanted to be part of the force fighting these villians.

After finishing his studies, Will joined the PPA (Pokemon Protection Agency) as a field officer. His job was simple: seek out Team Rocket and destroy them where he found them. Ten years later, Will has risen through the ranks of PPA and been reassigned to direct the PPA Hoenn Division. He has come to fight a resurgent Team Magma, but little does he know he is about to stumble upon the biggest crime wave of his lifetime.

Appearance: Will is a short, lean man of about 5’6. He has short, dark, brown hair and bright green eyes. He keeps his face cleanly shaven, and generally dons a suit.

Party:

Drexel (Vaporeon) || Hydration
Type: Water
(See History). Generally uses its speed and agility to nimbly dodge and dart around his foes. Relies heavily on water-type moves so Drexel becomes less effective when away from water and against resistant pokemon types. Favors Hydro Pump and Dive.
Move Pool:Surf, Water Gun, Wave, Bite, Tackle, Water Pulse, Arora Beam, Hydro Pump, Waterfall, Strength, Dive, Aqua Ring, Quick Attack, Agility, Double Team, Ice Shard, Aqua Jet.

Zoe (Quilava) || Blaze
Type: Fire
Will found Zoe as a Cyndaquil while on assignment in Johto. After clearing out a Team Rocket safe house, he found the baby pokemon in a box in the outside dumpster. He later found out Zoe had been rejected as a runt and they had left her to die outside. Will took her in and trained her to her current state. She generally likes to cover the battlefield with smoke then attack with fire-type moves.
Move Pool: Ember, Flamethrower, Wil-o-Whisp, Smokescreen, Tackle, Leer, Flame Wheel, Scratch, Bite, Quick Attack, Agility, Double Team

Riley (Ralts) || Telepathy
Type: Psychic
Will met Riley as part of a government program whereby officers were assigned problemed pokemon to try and rehabilitate them. The two were paired up and after a rocky few months grew to love one another. Riley is still a young pokemon, and so generally serves to support Drexel and Zoey rather than fighting toe to toe with an enemy.
Move Pool: Confusion, Double Team, Teleport, Disarming Voice, Reflect, Psychic, and Magic Leaf
