** A minor case with her fight with Ramos. She ''could'' have won, but she was so excited to show Henrietta what she could do that she was more focused on looking good for her friend than actually doing what made the best tactical sense, and both Ramos and Derflinger tell her off for such after the fact.

* FightOffTheKryptonite: The Collector that was after her was so horrible that the not-yet-named Esprit actually managed to force her way ''through'' the Repel that Saito and Louise were using to keep their campsite safe to escape.



* TheFriendNoOneLikes: No one particularly enjoys Maindo's {{Jerkass}} attitude, and they mostly put up with him because he's one of the strongest Pokémon in the group.

A Feebas Henrietta fished up at the Coumarine Seaside Amusement Park, this Pokémon was originally owned by a Trainer who treated it poorly before abandoning it far from its native region. Henrietta doesn't hesitate to offer Mer a new and better home in her team.
----
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Mer was treated extremely poorly by their first Trainer and was eventually abandoned near Coumarine in poor health and deep depression.
* MagikarpPower: Louise and Saito agree that the previous Trainer almost certainly had no idea that the seemingly weak and ugly Feebas can evolve into the beautiful Milotic.

* TheChainsOfCommanding: Henrietta, after the premature death of her father and her mother falling into despair, was forced to step into the role of Tristain's acting sovereign which she and everyone else knew she was in no way qualified for. Having to deal with petty and corrupt nobles and international politics, not to mention their biggest allies waging a civil war that they were poised to lose, only added to the stress. It was little wonder why she leapt at the opportunity to travel with Saito and Louise, viewing it as a much-deserved vacation.



* MsFanservice: Henrietta is extremely beautiful, and she knows it, catching the eye of many men and women including Saito himself.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Henrietta, in order to get back at Saito for making her exercise, purposefully wore a tight-fitting swimsuit to Coumarine City's beach knowing that he, and others, would be captivated by her beauty and thus getting in trouble with a jealous Louise.



* PrincessesRule: After her father's untimely death, Henrietta's mother, Queen Marianne, fell into a deep depression. As such, Henrietta was forced to jump into the role of ruling the country in her stead, something she was not prepared for in the slightest. She is trying to learn as fast as she can, but so far the reception has been mixed, with even her biggest allies, the Vallières, viewing her as naïve and foolish, unfit to lead and only followed out of loyalty to the crown, not herself.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tries her best to be this, and to her credit she does make some very sound decisions such as keeping Louise's Void Mage status a state secret in order to protect her. At the exact same time, however, her age and inexperience often leads her to making more emotionally-driven decisions.

Henrietta's starter Pokémon, a diplomatically inclined Grass-type whom Henrietta bonded with while staying with Professor Sycamore.
----
* CommonalityConnection: Like Henrietta, Fleur struggled with trying to lead other Pokémon while at Professor Sycamore's lab and prevent fights from breaking out. As most of the Pokémon preferred to fight rather than talk, she recieved little respect from the others. This ultimately allows Henrietta and Fleur's bond to quickly blossom.
* GreenThumb: Is a Grass-type Pokémon.
* GunboatDiplomacy: Utilizes this against a Queen Ariados in order to ensure Louise is let go safely from her web following her teleportation incident. Fleur made it abundantly clear that she wanted to resolve the issue of Louise peacefully, but if the Ariados and her brood wouldn't let Louise go, Saito and Louise's well-trained and powerful teams of Pokémon were more than willing to fight. The Queen Ariados, while not happy about it, does ultimately relent.

* TeleportSpam: The first proper Void spell she learns lets her teleport, with Derflinger even saying that she can spam it because it's one of the few Void spells that ''doesn't'' take forever to cast. Unfortunately, it still uses up a lot of her magical reserves, so once she uses it one too many times she ends up trapped in a Spinarak web.

Louise entered the battle thinking that, simply because both of her Pokemon had type advantage over Viola's Bug-type Pokémon, she'd be able to easily beat her.

* BadassAdorable: Not only is Louise cute, she both proves that her Void magic, when properly directed, can cause tremendous amounts of damage and also proves to be quite an effective Pokemon trainer.
* BadassBookworm: When it came to understanding magical theory, there was no one else in Louise's class that could rival her. This studious nature lent itself quite well to Louise once she arrived in Kalos, allowing her to pick up the basics and intricacies of Pokemon Battling easily.

* BreakTheHaughty: Her loss to Viola did this to her. Louise entered the battle thinking that, simply because both of her Pokemon had type advantage over Viola's Bug-type Pokemon, she'd be able to easily beat her. She ends up getting her entire team completely wiped out by Viola's Surskit, teaching her not to rely purely on type advantage and instead actually train and incorporate strategy into her battles.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Has a much nicer and mutually supportive relationship with Saito than the nearly toxic and abusive relationship she had with him in canon. This is due to the two of them being in a much different environment, one that effectively placed them on much more even footing while removing many of the exacerbating problems of Louise's home environment.

[[folder: Henrietta de Tristain]]
The current Princess of Kingdom of Tristain, and Louise's best friend and childhood playmate. Upon receiving word of Louise's disappearance at the Tristain Academy of Magic, Henrietta made her way over to lend her assistance, only to end up getting taken to Kalos by Mew following a failed attempt to bring Louise back with a spell.
----
* BadassCape: Wears a purple one over a white dress as part of her royal attire.
* BlueBlood: A member of the Tristain royal family, and a descendent of Brimir himself.
* BrokenPedestal: Has this mentality towards the institution of nobility in general after having to deal with selfish and self-righteous nobles for over a year, preventing her from being the ruler of all of Tristain that she wants to be rather than the Princess of Tristain's Nobles that they want her to be.
* ChildhoodFriends: Louise was her playmate when they were children, which blossomed into such an intense friendship that the two of them consider each other sisters.
* CoolCrown: Wears one atop her head. Fitting, as she is a Princess.
* TheHighQueen: Henrietta desperately wants to be this, but unfortunately court politics and intrigue prevents her from fully stepping into her role. She is, sadly, very much aware of this.
* LordCountry: Henrietta de Tristain is the princess of the Kingdom of Tristain.
* MakingASplash: Is a Triangle-class Water mage.
* PoliticallyActivePrincess: Tries to be, but her young age, lack of experience, and the general belief among her country's nobility that she is naïve, prevents her from being as active as she would like.
* PrincessesRule: After her father's untimely death, Henrietta's mother, Queen Marianne, fell into a deep depression. As such, Henrietta was forced to jump into the role of ruling the country in her stead, something she was not prepared for in the slightest. She is trying to learn as fast as she can, but so far the reception has been mixed, with even her biggest allies, the Vallières, viewing her as naïve and foolish, unfit to lead and only followed out of loyalty to the crown, not herself.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Tries her best to be this, and to her credit she does make some very sound decisions such as keeping Louise's Void Mage status a state secret in order to protect her. At the exact same time, however, her age and inexperience often leads her to making more emotionally-driven decisions.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While her efforts to reform her country haven't been nearly as successful as she would like, Henrietta immediately drops whatever she was doing to help rescue her friend once she received word. Even to the point of putting off her trip to Germania to plan her upcoming wedding with the Germanian Emperor. Once she arrives at the academy, she puts in the maximum effort towards bringing Louise back, never once shirking from her duty.
* TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask: To Henrietta, one of the worst parts about being Tristain's Princess is that she can't afford to truly be herself as her subjects look to her for guidance and answers. Even when she has none, and she's forced to put on a picture-perfect aura otherwise it would be taken as a sign of weakness.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Henrietta's hair is a deep purple, which isn't out of place on either Earth or Terre.

* LonelyRichKid: Before Louise's arrival to Kalos, this was essentially her life. Ostracized by her peers and practically abandoned by most of her family for her seeming inability to properly cast magic, Louise was an outcast in Tristain, leaving her with an explosive temper to mask her insecurities. Things luckily begin to improve with her once she arrives at Kalos, where she makes genuine friendships with both people and Pokémon.

Later on, though, Wikistrom explains that Tanuki is actually subconsciously looking down on Saito, which comes as a shock to both of them. They subsequently make an effort to work on their teamwork, though Tanuki's hesitance to listen to Saito gets him quickly defeated in the Cyllage Gym.

to:

The third Pokémon to join Saito's team, the first he caught in Kalos during their first visit to Lumiose City. In contrast to the rest of his team, Maindo is a rude, abrasive Pokémon who delights in tormenting others, frequently getting on everyone's skin.



* BatmanGambit: The entire point of his constant belittling and outright bullying to the rest of his party was in the hopes that, eventually, Saito would have enough and release him. This is because he didn't want to be captured in the first place. [[spoiler: His plan ultimately does succeed after he sends Louise running away in tears after her blunder with Auspice's Mega Evolution. At the same time, it gets drilled into his head how absolutely unnecessary his plan actually was, for had he simply asked Saito to release him, he would've done so willingly.]]



* DidntThinkThisThrough: Maindo never actually wanted to be captured and hoped that by getting on everyone's nerves they'd eventually give up and release him back into the wild. It wasn't until his plan finally succeeded that it was pointed out just how stupid his actions actually were.
** For one, the reason why Saito caught him in the first place was because Maindo outright challenged him and gave every indication that he wanted to be caught when Maindo kept up the fight rather than run away.
** Not only that, he could've simply ''asked'' to be released, and while Saito would've been sad, he would've complied as he doesn't want a Pokémon to be on his team if they don't want to be.
** When his plan finally did succeed, he's suddenly faced with the prospect that he, a city-dwelling Pokémon, can't survive out in the wild. Had Saito not had the conscience to offer releasing him once they get back to Lumiose, it was highly probable that Maindo would've died trying to get back on his own. Either from starvation, or from another Pokémon.

!!!Ronin (Oshawatt --> Dewott)
Saito's starter, an Oshawatt he received in the Unova region before the story began.
----
* TheComicallySerious: Ronin tends to act as though he were an actual samurai. The other Pokémon like to poke fun at this.

!!!Tanuki (Riolu)
The first addition to Saito's team, caught in Unova before they moved to Kalos. Unlike most Riolu, Tanuki is very light-hearted and enjoys pulling pranks.
----
* ThePrankster: Tanuki is very fond of pulling pranks whenever possible. This actually led to his capture; Saito called one of Tanuki's pranks unoriginal, leading to a [[EscalatingWar prank war]] between them, and the Riolu was so impressed that he joined Saito's team. Incidentally, his Ability is also Prankster.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Heavily downplayed; Tanuki's pride sometimes leads him to disobey Saito's instructions, but Saito usually doesn't mind beyond mild annoyance.

!!!Maindo (Ralts --> Kirlia)

----
* BrattyHalfPint: He's extremely difficult to get along with, frequently taunting his trainer and fellow Pokémon for seemingly no reason. At the same time, however, when the situation calls for it he is able to put his negativity aside and work with others.
* TheFriendNoOneLikes: No one particularly enjoys Maindo's {{Jerkass}} attitude, and they mostly put up with him because he's one of the strongest Pokemon in the group.
* MyParentsAreDead: His mother died when he was young, an event that he witnessed and subsequently shaped his sour outlook. This is something that Maindo refuses to talk about.
* YouFightLikeACow: Maindo enjoys insulting others, and he takes every chance to mock opponents in battle. However, he often gets so caught up in the insults that he doesn't pay attention to what his opponent is actually doing.

!!!Tengu (Seedot --> Nuzleaf)
Saito's fourth Pokemon, an easygoing Grass-Type.
----
* LimbSensationFascination: When Tengu evolves into a Nuzleaf, the former Seedot takes a few moments to inspect her newly gained arms, hands, and even a mouth, none of which she had before.
* TheQuietOne: Tengu tends to be very quiet and mellow. Maindo is especially annoyed that his Troll antics don't get a reaction out of her.

!!!Shogun (Tyrunt)
Saito's fifth Pokemon, who was revived from a fossil.
----
*

!!!Odachi (Skarmory)
Saito's sixth Pokemon, a female Skarmory who hatched from an egg.
----
* TheBabyOfTheBunch: By far the youngest of the group, given that she only hatched shortly before the third Gym. Unlike in the games and anime, Odachi starts off much smaller than fully grown Skarmory, and Nurse Joy advises Saito not to have her battle until she's grown up more.
* OnlyFriend: Odachi is pretty much the only one who doesn't hate Maindo, as she hatched after everyone else lost patience with his {{Jerkass}} attitude.

* TrueCompanions: Develop this dynamic with Louise, all of whom would do anything for. In turn, so would Louise, and both work together to accomplish their goals.

!!!Brennaraki (Fennekin)
Louise's Starter Pokemon, a Shiny Fennekin she received from Professor Sycamore when she was tasked with delivering a package to Viola in Santalune City, thus putting her on her path to competing in the Pokemon League.


Added DiffLines:

* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Was picked on by the rest of her litter due to both being the runt and due to her Shiny status making it nearly impossible for the rest of them to get trainers of their own. The only one people wanted was her, so they took their frustrations out on Brennaraki. As both she and Louise had similar circumstances, they were more easily able to connect.
* BarrierWarrior: Can use Light Screen to either box her opponents in or protect herself from their attacks.
* BirdsOfAFeather: Due to sharing similar circumstances with Louise (ostracized for something outside of their control, people ignoring their desires and wanting to essentially put them in a comfortable, gilded cage), the two of them were able to become quite close very quickly.
* EverythingsBetterWithSparkles: Is a Shiny Pokemon. Prior to meeting Louise, however, it caused her no end of trouble on account of all the collectors who wanted to have her.
* HeroicSecondWind: How her Blaze ability works, as it activates whenever Brennaraki is on her last legs, thus giving her Fire-type moves a massive power boost.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: Despite being both the runt of her litter and highly desirable to collectors on account of her being a female Shiny Fennekin, all Brennaraki wanted was to be a battler.
* TheLeader: As Louise's starter, Brennaraki holds this title over the rest of her team.
* MundaneUtility: As a Fire-type Pokemon, Brennaraki can launch massive blasts of flame at her opponents, create walls of fire to encircle the foe, or shroud themselves with a blaze to add to her strength. She can also light campfires.
* JealousPet: Briefly succumbs to this following Louise's capture of Esprit and her subsequent showering of affection onto the Ralts. Is quickly dropped as Esprit proves unable to be mad at for long.
* PsychicPowers: Is capable of learning Psychic-type moves, including Psyshock and Psybeam among others.

!!!Aile (Fletchling --> Fletchinder)
The second Pokemon Louise caught while on her journey. A heavy eater, Aile didn't think much of Louise at first, but after Louise risked her life to keep Aile safe from a swarm of Beedrill, her opinion shifted and she became a loyal, if still gluttonous, flier.
----
* BigEater: Will not waste a chance to fill her stomach. At first, Louise even had to exploit this tendency just to get Aile to listen to her commands. While she has mellowed out substantially since then, she still likes to eat as much as she can.
* BlowYouAway: Many of her moves use manipulations of wind to her advantage, either offensively like Razor Wind or in a supporting capacity such as Tailwind to increase her and her teammates' speed in battle.
* {{Flight}}: As a Flying-type, this comes naturally to her and is easily the best flier on the team.
* FragileSpeedster: Is a very fast and agile Pokemon, but cannot take much of a hit.
* JerkassRealization: Has this following their escape from a swarm of angry Beedrill, something that only happened because she spent her time recklessly trying to eat some berries and accidentally got a Weedle injured. After almost getting them all killed, and having Louise try to protect her despite causing it, Aile realized that her previous actions were wrong and became a much more loyal and considerate Pokemon to Louise.
* PlayingWithFire: Obtains the Fire-typing following her evolution into Fletchinder.
* RazorWind: Can use the move Air Slash for long ranged attacks.
* TookALevelInKindness: Before she was caught by Louise, Aile was a very selfish Pokemon who attacked with her flock a swarm of Combee to try and get their honey. After getting caught, she still refused to listen to Louise without being bribed by food. Following their encounter with a swarm of Beedrill, she becomes a much nicer Pokemon after realizing how wrong she was. Still won't apologize for trying to get the Combee's honey, though.

!!!Esprit (Ralts --> Kirlia)
The second Pokemon caught by Louise and third to join her team following a confrontation with a determined collector. A kind, gentle, and loyal Pokemon, Esprit quickly proved to a valuable addition to Louise's team who uses her powerful Psychic and Fairy-typings to great effect.
----
* BewareTheNiceOnes: While Esprit is genuinely one of the kindest and most considerate Pokemon you will ever meet, she becomes outright scary when angered. Something that Maindo, Tanuki, and Aile learn firsthand following Louise and Saito seemingly getting kidnapped by a swarm of Unown. She forces them to help stage of rescue attempt, making Maindo teach her Teleport to get to them as fast as possible, and all three Pokemon can only so much as nod in agreement.
* TheEmpath: The Ralts line is able to sense people and Pokemon's emotions. Esprit is no exception.
* FriendToAllChildren: Loves playing and interacting with baby Pokemon, to the point where when they went to the Pokemon Daycare she even stayed behind to play with them more. [[spoiler: That was actually how she evolved into Kirlia, as she tried to protect the baby Pokemon from Team Flare's attempts to steal them.]]
* {{Foil}}: To her fellow Ralts/Kirlia on Saito's team, Maindo. While Maindo is a rude, self-centered, and arrogant Pokemon whom the others can barely tolerate at the best of times, Esprit is a kind, generous, and selfless Pokemon that the others genuinely like to be around.
* GlassCannon: Is capable of dishing out tremendous amounts of damage, but she herself can't take as much of a hit.
* TheMedic: Serves this role as part of Louise's team, frequently making use of healing moves such as Heal Pulse and Life Dew to heal her teammate's injuries.
* NumberTwo: Whenever Brennaraki is unavailable, Esprit typically steps up to the plate.
* PsychicPowers: As a Psychic-type, this is to be expected. She uses these powers both in battle and also to communicate with her follow Pokemon. When she evolves into a Kirlia, her powers become strong enough for her to talk to Louise as well.
* PurityPersonified: Is easily the most polite and courteous Pokemon on Louise's team.
* SupportPartyMember: With her wide array of healing moves and GlassCannon status, Esprit typically stays behind to let others deal the majority of the damage while she helps them from the back.
* TeamMom: Effectively serves this role among Louise's team.
* {{Telepath}}: Communicates this way. Once she evolves into Kirlia, Esprit is even able to talk to Louise, and quickly begins acting as a translator between Louise and her Pokemon so that their trainer can know exactly what they're saying.

!!!Auspice (Absol)
The fourth Pokemon to join Louise's team, Auspice is unique in that she sought out Louise rather than the two of them meeting by chance. As an Absol, Auspice is able to sense when disasters are near, and she can tell that Louise will be at the center of many in the near future. In an effort to try and avert them as they come, Auspice willingly joins Louise's team following their second encounter with Team Flare during their attempt to steal fossils from the Ambrette Town Museum of Natural History.
----
* BearerOfBadNews: As an Absol, can detect when disasters are about to occur. Saito spotting her at the Pokemon Daycare when they arrive is the first hint that something bad is about to happen, [[spoiler: a prediction that proves to be correct when Team Flare attacks that night.]] It happens again in Ambrette Town, where [[spoiler: she leads Saito and Louise to a robbery in progress by another Team Flare cell currently trying to steal fossils and the fossil revitalization equipment.]] It is after this event that Auspice joins Louise's team.
* DarkIsNotEvil: Is a Dark-type, yet is genuinely a noble Pokemon who wants to keep people safe. It's why she joined Louise's team in the first place.
* LightningBruiser: Is a very fast and sturdy Pokemon capable of dishing out tremendous amounts of damage.
* MyGreatestFailure: Views her failure to predict Team Flare's attack on Cyllage this way, given how the whole reason why she joined Louise in the first place was to prevent such disasters from occurring.
** Also takes her going berserk while testing Mega Evolution for the first time badly, blaming herself more than anything else for almost hurting her teammates.
* SinisterScythe: Has a scythe-like horn on her head which she uses as a blade during combat.
* SpiderSense: Uses her natural ability to detect danger during combat, allowing her to more easily dodge attacks sent her way. It's not infallible, though, and she can get hit.
* SuperMode: Is capable of Mega Evolution after Louise finds an Absolite.
* UnstoppableRage: Unfortunately succumbs to this following her first attempt at Mega Evolution. It takes the rest of Louise's and Saito's teams alongside Derflinger just to put her down before she seriously injured someone.
* WingedUnicorn: Grows wings when Mega Evolving. Somewhat {{Subverted}, though, as they're not actually wings, merely hairs standing up on end in a wing-like pattern.
* WingsDoNothing: Despite seemingly growing wings, they're not actually wings as they're merely an aesthetic change. They don't actually give her flight, or even the ability to glide.

!!!Gène (Eevee)
The fifth addition to Louise's team. An easygoing Pokemon, Gène is able to easily go with the flow in any given situation, easily accepting that Louise is from another world upon being told for the first time.
----
* AlwaysAccurateAttack: Frequently makes use of Swift, which always manages to hit his target no matter what they do unless they get very clever and lucky.
* {{Determinator}}: One of the most determined Pokemon on Louise's team, best exemplified during her gym battle against Korrina and her Mega Medicham. When everyone else on Louise's team fell, Gène was able to stay standing and finish Medicham off, giving Louise the victory.
* FreakOut: Has a minor one when Louise takes him to an evolution stone emporium to see what type of Pokemon he might want to evolve into. While Louise didn't intend to make any decision that day, or even anytime soon, nonetheless Gène was still overwhelmed with so many options for an irreversible choice, giving him a panic attack. Luckily, Louise recognizes this immediately and pulls him out of the situation, comforting him by telling Gène that they don't have to make a decision until he is ready.
* MellowFellow: Easily the most chill Pokemon on Louise's team, able to accept and come to grips with nearly any situation he comes across.
* PoorCommunicationKills: Given how accepting of everything Gène appeared to be up to that point, Louise honestly thought taking him to browse evolution stones to get an idea of what he wanted to evolve into, with no intention of actually choosing anything at that point, would be perfectly fine. Instead, Gène gets overwhelmed and almost has a panic attack at the prospect of making such an irreversible decision. Louise later admits that she was wrong to do that.
* PowerCopying: Knows the move Copycat, which allows Gène to use the last move that an opponent used against him. This is how he was able to beat Korrina, as he used the move to copy Medicham's High-Jump Kick, allowing him to finish Medicham off.
* TheOneGuy: So far, the only male Pokemon on Louise's team.

* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: Has a much nicer and mutually supportive relationship with Saito than the nearly toxic and abusive relationship she had with him in canon. This is due to the two of them being in a much different environment, one that effectively placed them on much more even footing while removing many of the exacerbating problems of Louise's home environment.



* BerserkButton: Louise, as always, hates people mistaking her for a child, challenging a pair of swimmers to a battle after they assumed she was Saito’s kid sister.

* BestFriend: Becomes this to Saito.
* BlackMage: All of Louise's spells result in explosions, giving her only offensive options in a fight.
* BirdsOfAFeather: With her chosen starter, the shiny Fennekin Brennaraki. As a shiny Fennekin, Brennaraki was highly sought after by collectors, none of whom cared that she wanted to be a battler. Combined with her being the runt of the litter, it was easy for her and Louise to form a close bond due to Louise experiencing similar issues in her life.
* BreakTheHaughty: Her loss to Viola did this to her. Louise entered the battle thinking that, simply because both of her Pokemon had type advantage over Viola's Bug-type Pokemon, she'd be able to easily beat her. She ends up getting her entire team completely wiped out by Viola's Surskit, teaching her not to rely purely on type advantage and instead actually train and incorporate strategy into her battles.
* CharacterDevelopment: Over the course of her journey in Kalos, Louise goes from an arrogant, headstrong, and insecure young girl with a hair-trigger temper who took her problems out on everyone around her to a kind, thoughtful, and courteous girl eager to continue learning and improving herself. She also largely abandons her feelings of superiority towards those she normally would dismiss as commoners, as seen by her viewing Saito, who would be considered a commoner by Tristain's standards, as both her equal and her best friend.
** A good example of this was her conversation with Guru Gurkinn at the Tower of Mastery following her failed attempt at Mega Evolution with Auspice. Gurkinn tells Louise that the reason why it failed was because Louise didn't fully understand herself, faults and all. Had Louise heard this at the beginning of the story, she would've felt insulted and angrily rebutted him while ignoring his advice. After spending months walking about Kalos, however, she takes his advice to heart and earnestly tries to follow it.


Added DiffLines:

* FighterMageThief: The Mage to Saito's Fighter, obviously.
* FireForgedFriends: Becomes one with Saito following an encounter with a Mega Beedrill. Before that, they couldn't stand each other, but during the attack they learn to work together. Afterwards, the two become best friends.
* GivingRadioToTheRomans: She plans on taking what she learned in Kalos back to Tristain to try and improve it.
* GlassCannon: While she is capable of dishing out tremendous amounts of damage when in a fight, she herself can't take near as much damage.


Added DiffLines:

* IneptMage: By her people's standards, anyway. It's quickly determined that the reason why is because Louise is a Void Mage, meaning she is incapable of casting anything but Void magic. Anything else results in an explosion.


Added DiffLines:

* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Saito's Blue.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Coming from a privileged lifestyle, Louise sometimes has trouble remembering that no one here knows who she is and that her funds are much more limited. She buys every single TM and insists on getting only the highest-quality healing items, ignoring Sycamore's protests that it's massively impractical. She does get better after figuring out the store essentially scammed her, though Saito frequently ribs her for it.

[[folder: Saito Hiraga]]
A young boy from Unova who started his own Pokemon Journey around the same time Louise started hers. While they didn't start off on the right foot, he quickly becomes Louise's best friend and travelling companion as they both compete for the same goal: Pokemon League Champion.
----
* AdaptationalNationality: When taking into consideration the real-world inspirations for the various regions of Pokemon, with Generations I-IV being based off of areas of Japan. In ''Outsiders,'' his parents are from Kanto, while he himself was born in Unova, making him a Japanese-American by real-world standards rather than fully Japanese.
* AdaptationalRelationshipOverhaul: His relationship with Louise is much more mutually supportive than the nearly toxic and abusive relationship he had with her in canon.
* BestFriend: Becomes this with Louise.
* BerserkButton: Harming Louise in any way eventually becomes this. This is brought to the forefront in the aftermath of Team Flare's attack on Cyllage City, where Louise was nearly killed by Toxapex venom and had her blood stolen by Team Flare Operatives pretending to be nurses. When he finds trackers embedded into their Pokedexes by said operatives, he gets so infuriated that he unjustifiably accuses Elizabeth Collette for what happened to Louise.
* BigBrotherMentor: Of a sort, given how he is only a year older than Louise herself. Given how Saito has grown up around Pokemon his entire life, he understandably knows a lot more about Pokemon and Pokemon Battling than Louise does. He often gives her advice on how best to training. As Louise has grown more used to Pokemon and developed her own battling strategy, he does his less and less in favor of a more equal exchange.
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: While Saito is by no means dumb, he generally is a laid back, easygoing guy who's able to get along with almost anyone. But, at the same time, he is still a very competent Pokemon Trainer, and when sufficiently angered has no qualms in unleashing his full expertise.
* FighterMageThief: The Fighter to Louise's Mage.
* FriendlyRivalry: Technically has this with Louise, seeing as how both are competing for the same goal of becoming the Kalos region's Pokemon Champion, an position that obviously only one of them can hold.
* MeddlingParents: Saito wasn't able to start his Pokemon Journey, something that typically happens when they turn ten, until he was seventeen because his parents wouldn't let him. That and his family having to constantly move around due to his parents' jobs. This led to him growing self-conscious about not being able to take part in the adventures that his friends were, and when he was finally able to start his Journey in Unova, only to have to move again to Kalos and pick it back up, he went about it without looking back. He still loves his parents, though.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown: Effectively gives this to Elizabeth after she challenges him to a Pokemon Battle after he unjustifiably accuses Elizabeth of Louise having her DNA stolen by Team Flare. As he is a much better trainer than Elizabeth can even hope to be, he completely demolishes her team without losing a single member until she's only left with a fully-evolved Machamp that doesn't even listen to her. Even then, he's still able to overcome the power gap and win the battle.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Blue to Louise's Red.
* TranquilFury: In contrast to Louise, who tends to get fiery when angered, Saito simply gets frighteningly calm.

!The Party

[[folder: Louise Françoise le Blanc de la Vallière]]
The main character of the story, whose attempt at summoning a creature catches the direct attention of Arceus himself, who sends her to the world of Pokemon to prove her worth.
----
* ACupAngst: Is a bit insecure about it, but not as much as she was in canon.
* AdaptationalNiceGuy: Is much nicer and generally more pleasant to be around than in canon. This is chalked up to her being in a much more supportive environment than the one she had at home, leading to a much better mental state where she wasn't as overwhelmed with trying to live up to her society's expectations.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Back in Tristain, Louise became infamous among her peers and family for her inability to properly cast magic. All of her attempts, no matter which spell, ended in an explosion. This led to her being deemed "Louise the Zero."
* BadassAdorable: Not only is Louise cute, she both proves that her Void magic, when properly directed, can cause tremendous amounts of damage and also proves to be quite an effective Pokemon trainer.
* BadassBookworm: When it came to understanding magical theory, there was no one else in Louise's class that could rival her. This studious nature lent itself quite well to Louise once she arrived in Kalos, allowing her to pick up the basics and intricacies of Pokemon Battling easily.
* BerserkButton: Louise, as always, hates people mistaking her for a child, challenging a pair of swimmers to a battle after they assumed she was Saito’s kid sister. Another time, a Driftloon briefly kidnaps Louise to have a playmate, and Saito vows to never let her learn that the species only does that with young children.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: Louise can't help but try to intervene during any criminal activity she runs across, even when she really should be letting the authorities handle it. This results in her and the rest of her party getting caught up in dangerous situations, some of which nearly result in their deaths.
** After Team Flare's attack on Cyllage City, she decides that unless she has literally no other choice, she's more than happy to step back and let the proper authorities handle them rather than put her and her friends in harm's way.
* {{Determinator}}: Why she got sent to Kalos in the first place. Louise, more than anything else, is driven by her determination to prove herself. Even Arceus made note of this when he brought her to the Hall of Origin, as unlike every other Void Mage whose familiar summoning ritual he had intervened in who gave up after two failed attempts, Louise went for three.
* HairTriggerTemper: Can easily fly off the handle into a rage whenever someone pisses her off.
* PowerOfTheVoid: What her true magical affinity is. While Void magic renders her unable to cast [[PlayingWithFire Fire]], [[MakingASplash Water]], [[BlowYouAway Air]], and [[DishingOutDirt Earth]] magic, she can cast powerful explosions and reach across time and space to summon a familiar. Her attempt to do just that is what caught Arceus' attention.
* {{Tsundere}}: While Louise is a much nicer person than in canon, she still has her moments.
* RoseHairedSweetie: As she continues her Pokemon Journey through Kalos, maturing along the way, she develops into a genuinely kind, sweet, and affectionate person to the people and Pokemon she cares about. She still has a temper, though.
* SquishyWizard: Isn't as physically capable as her travelling companion, Saito Hiraga.
* WrongContextMagic: A combination of her Void magic, along with residual energy from traveling across Ultra Space into Kalos, results in any Mega Stone that has had extended and prolonged contact with her acting as though she were a Keystone. This allows for any Mega Evolution-capable Pokemon to undergo the phenomenon, potentially to disastrous results.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Her hair color is pink. Unlike other examples, in the Pokemon world this is nothing special.
