[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/grunt_pastel.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:Team Pastel Grunts]]

The villainous teams of the Hoenn region. Their goals are both to "improve the Hoenn region" by each summoning a legendary from the Weather Trio.
!Tropes for both teams:

* AdaptationExpansion: Both teams utilize more species than their Pokémon counterparts:
** Cottage members use Vulpix, Magcargo, and Gloom.
** Pastel members use more Water-types than Carvanha, including Jellicent and Kingdra.
* AffectionateParody: They're exaggerated parodies of the "aesthetic" side of the Animal Crossing fandom.
* BigBadEnsemble: Both teams are villainous in their intentions (reinventing the world in their ideal image).
* BrightIsNotGood: Team Pastel is decked out in colorful pastels, but they're still relentless thieves.
* CatsAreMean: Many Team Pastel grunts are cats, and are ruthless thieves or relentless battlers.
* ChestInsignia: Team Pastel members wear a pastel-colored pearl as their insignia, while Team Cottage wears a brown mushroom.
* ColorContrast: Cottage wears neutral colors and monochrome, Pastel wears pastel teal and bright purple.

* DisproportionateRetribution: Team Cottage are fond of this:
** Leave Team Cottage? Expect your ex-boss to show up in your new hometown, interrupt a festival and demand you rejoin.
** Point out Dobie's flaws? Expect either a slap across the face or to be threatened with murder.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Team Pastel was only shown to have cats as grunt members, but several animals who aren't cats (namely, Sasha, Cookie and Marshal) are seen joining the group.
* EvilFormerFriend: A romantic variant: [[spoiler: Dobie and Judy were a couple that broke up before the story begins, forming their own teams after said break up.]]
* EvilVersusEvil: Just like their canon counterparts, Cottage and Pastel are antagonistic and are constantly fighting each other when not trying to take over the Hoenn region.
* FluffyTheTerrible: Pastel and Cottage are pretty cutesy names for villainous teams who go around killing others and terrorizing the Hoenn region.
* NeverSayDie: While the story uses other terms for death, Team Cottage prefer to use the term 'eliminate' rather than kill or die.
* StellarName: Team Pastel's leader and admins have these for their last names:
** Judy Nebula
** Filbert Berenice (a constellation in the sky)
** Julian Galassia (Italian for galaxy)
* WeUsedToBeFriends: [[spoiler: Chapter 20 implies that Judy and Dobie, the leaders of each team, were a couple at one point. Later confirmed at the end of Chapter 44.]]

!! Dobie Lupus
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dobie_wolf.png]]
The leader of Team Cottage.

* ALizardNamedLiz: Downplayed. His last name is lupus, the scientific genus for wolf.
* BadBoss: He assaults and berates Beau (one of his admins) for losing in a battle, shows no care to anyone around him, and is more than happy to 'eliminate' any grunts that fail his goals.
* BerserkButton: Point out his flaws and he ''will'' attempt to kill you.
* BlackEyesOfEvil: He has dark grey sclera and is much more antagonistic to the protagonists than Judy is.
* CantTakeCriticism: This is his main character flaw. Even suggesting a slightly different plan than usual drives him to beating up or even threatening to kill his enemies.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: While Dobie may be a homicidal maniac with serious issues who beats up minors, at least he's not transphobic to Holly.
* SavageWolves: He's a wolf and a piece of work. He physically abuses his allies, punches Tank for criticizing him, threatens to murder Professor Blathers over meteor shards, and beats the shit out of Holly before she could challenge him to a Pokémon battle.
* SophisticatedAsHell: While he speaks very formally and much more distinguished than his enemies, he tends to swear more than the protagonists do.
* WouldHurtAChild: Age doesn't matter for his violence, as he's beaten up at least two fourteen-year-olds.

!! Beau Buckingham
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deer_admin.png]]
One of the Buckingham twins.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Downplayed. In Animal Crossing, Beau's eyes are blue. Here, his eyes are grey.
* EvilRedhead: He has wavy orange hair and an active admin of Team Cottage.
* SignatureMon: His ace Pokémon is a Magcargo.
* TrappedInVillainy: Despite being an admin, he regrets being in Team Cottage and wants to quit already. However, due to Dobie's abuse, he's trapped and unable to just quit and run away.

!! Fauna Buckingham
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/deer_girl.png]]
The other Buckingham twin.
* {{Bambification}}: HEAVILY averted. She may be a white-tailed deer, but she's ruthless when it comes to getting what she wants.
* DarkActionGirl: She's a ruthless Pokémon trainer who has no problem interrupting a town's festival ''just'' to get an ex-member back.
* ElderAbuse: She has no problem demanding that Cottage members grab an innocent old woman from the crowd, throw her on stage and demand to know where someone is.
* SignatureMon: She uses a Vulpix, that later evolved into a Ninetales.
* TheStoic: In her first appearance, she's more prone to emotional outbursts. In her return for chapter 37, she's much less emotional, even after losing a battle.

!! Judith "Judy" Nebula
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/judy_nebula.png]]
The leader of Team Pastel.

* AffablyEvil: She casually fires grunts without a care, but she talks more casually compared to Dobie. She's also suggested to be more progressive, hiring anyone no matter their species (meanwhile Dobie exclusively hires deer). One chapter presents herself as a temporary ally to the protagonists, albeit just to fight Dobie.
* AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: Her hair is braided to look like a mermaid's tail, fitting a Water-type user.
* BearsAreBadNews: She's a bear, and a villainous one (ransacks a local museum, orders her admin to tie up a civilian, wants to summon Kyogre in the name Pokémon liberation).
* BigCreepyCrawlies: She has the Bug-type Masquerain on her team, which appropriately knows Bubble Beam.
* TheFakeCutie: Judy puts on an act where she's seen as a cute yet competent team leader, complete with the cutesy catchphrase of 'My oh my'. However, she's much more malicious and hellbent on getting revenge on her ex-boyfriend.
* MaamShock: She reacts this way when Tank calls her 'ma'am'
-->"For crying out loud, I just turned thirty!"
* MagicalAccessory: She wears a bow in her hair with a Mega Stone attached.
* MeaningfulAppearance: Her multicolored hair is stylized into a mermaid's tail, representing both her use of Water-types and her ruthlessness.
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Downplayed. Dobie, her ex-boyfriend, calls her by her real name (Judith). Most animals call her Judy, while others (such as Holly and Marshal) refer to her as Jude.
* PurpleIsPowerful: Her outfit consists primarily of bright shades of purple, and is a ruthless villainous team leader.
* StellarName: Her last name is Nebula.
* ToxicFriendInfluence: Judy and Filbert are childhood friends, and she manipulates him into working for her team.

!! Filbert Berenice
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/filby_2.png]]
One of the two Pastel admins.

* AffablyEvil: He ties up Baabara (the sheep working at the Slateport museum) and apologizes for it, saying he's only doing it because his boss is telling him to.
* ChildhoodFriends: Implied, when Filbert states he's been friends with Judy for ''twenty-four years'' (Judy had just turned thirty in the fic's timeline).
* {{Foil}}: To Julian. Both are male blue mammals working for Judy, but while Julian is more loyal and obedient to the point of obsession, Filbert is critical and not so willing to carry out crimes.
* OnlySaneMan: He's the only authority figure in Team Pastel who isn't strung up in a harebrained scheme for Pokémon liberation.
* PunchClockVillain: Filbert isn't truly evil, he's just following Judy's orders.
* SignatureHeadgear: He wears a distinct pirate hat as part of his ensemble, including a pearl badge on the brim.
* SignatureMon: His ace is a Jellicent.
* StellarName: His last name comes from a constellation from the Mice Galaxies.

!! Julian Galassia
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/julian_5.png]]
The other admin for Team Pastel.
* AmbiguouslyBi: His undying loyalty to Judy borders on an obsessive crush, but he calls Apollo a hottie. Nothing is stated on his sexuality.
* {{Expy}}: He's a flamboyant thief with long flowing curly hair, just like [[Manga/FromEroicaWithLove Earl Dorian Red Gloria.]]
* LongHairedPrettyBoy: He has long curly blue hair in a ponytail, and looks quite gorgeous.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Before being properly confronted by Apollo and the group, Julian used a Natu with Teleport to head out of Southern Island.
* SignatureHeadgear: Like Filbert, he wears a stylish hat as part of his ensemble. However, his is a sailor-inspired beret.
* SignatureMon: His ace Pokémon is a Kingdra.
* SissyVillain: He dresses like a campy sea captain, wears bright makeup and is willing to capture legendaries to appeal to his boss.
* UndyingLoyalty: He's completely loyal to Judy, to the point that he never questions her or her actions.

[[folder: Recurring Characters]]

!! Professor Tom Nook

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nook.png]]

The professor of the Hoenn region. The story's first scene starts with him, although he plays a minor role in the story as a researcher who assigns Tank tasks relating to catching Pokémon.

* AdaptationalBadass: Birch's "chased by a Poochyena" gag doesn't apply to him (instead given to Leila the kappa), ''and'' he wields a Key Stone, all but stating he has a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve.
* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In canon, Crazy Redd and Tom Nook are former business partners. Here, they're also exes. While he and Sable only have ShipTease in the games, he's happily married to her.
* AffectionateNickname: His nickname for his wife Sable is 'shortbread', as a pun on her first name.
* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: An uncle variant. Timmy and Tommy think it's embarassing that their uncle is a huge fan of toku series.
* BigBeautifulMan: He's a large chubby tanuki, and his sweet personality is what Sable fell in love with.
* BigGood: He's one to the main trio (gives them their starters, gives Tank research tasks, helps Kidd escape his abusive mom).
* CompositeCharacter: Directly based on Birch's role as a professor, but has elements of Sycamore (namely, it's suggested he knows about Mega Evolution) involved in his characterization.
* FormerTeenRebel: Downplayed. He was a male stripper and used to work with Crazy Redd in his twenties, but quit after [[spoiler:Crazy Redd accidentally killed several Pokémon]].
* HappilyMarried: To Sable. He cares for her well-being, supports her individual endeavors and [[spoiler: is looking forward to having children with her]].
* HiddenDepths: Beyond his work as a regional professor studying environments, Nook is both an expert toku cosplayer and great dancer.
* HookerWithAHeartOfGold: Tom Nook is a former stripper and a nice guy outside of his past profession.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After getting chewed out by Tank, Professor Nook immediately regrets yelling at him and putting Pokémon research above his researcher's health. He gets better and works to reconcile his friendship with Tank.
* NiceGuy: He's a chipper and friendly man, just like his original incarnation.
* TheNicknamer: At the end of chapter 28, Professor Nook mentions 'Kabosu' will fly him in the next day. The next chapter reveals that Kabosu is an Xatu.
* ParentalSubstitute: To Tank. While Rockwell (Tank's dad) is currently in recovery after Team Cottage ransacked Fortree City, Tom Nook frequently checks in on Tank and looks out for his well-being.
* SignatureMon: [[spoiler: He has a Net Ball and Key Stone on hand, suggesting a Bug-type that can mega evolve is his ace. Judging by this information, it's either a Pinsir, Scizor, Heracross or Beedrill. However, artwork on the author's Tumblr account implies that it's Heracross.]]

!! Flora [=McGee=]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/birby.png]]

She's one of Holly's classmates from Castelia City.

* AmbiguouslyGay: She tells her parents that she 'doesn't like boys THAT way' when they suggest she's headed out for a crush.
* {{Foil}}: To Raymond. Both are rivals to the main characters. She's a friendly Pokémon League challenging bird, he's a mean coordinator mammal.
* GenkiGirl: She's a very hyperactive young girl and always optimistic, even in times of trouble such as being separated from her Pokémon.
* PoisonousPerson: She has a Grimer named Nougat on her team, while her personality is as sweet as candy.
* MakingASplash: She has a Water-type Staryu named Konpeito.
* NonElemental: Her starter is the Normal-type Minccino (nicknamed Hershey).
* SweetTooth: If her candy-themed nicknames are anything to go by, she has this.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's the upbeat perky Girly Girl to Holly's brash and impulsive Tomboy.
* WholeCostumeReference: Her outfit and hairstyle is based on Rosa from [=BW2=].

!! Raymond Halpert

Kidd's former school bully from Lumiose City, and his main rival in the contest scene.

* AlphaBastard: He's a dick to everyone he meets (picks on Axel and Kidd for their species, and is implied to hit Holly with a flower bouquet).
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Even though he thinks of himself as better than Kidd, the latter is a better coordinator (helped by, well, ''being kind to his Pokémon'').
* CatsAreMean: He's a cat, and an antagonistic character who makes fun of everyone around him.
* FantasticRacism: He's a cat who thinks he's better than everyone. When arguing with Kidd, he calls Axel (an elephant) "peanut breath", indirectly insulting him for his species.
* FourEyesZeroSoul: He wears glasses and is an asshole to everybody he comes across.
* MakingASplash: He uses the Water-type Marill on his team, and it knows Aqua Jet.
* NonElemental: His first chapter has him use the normal-type Eevee.

[[folder: Misc. Characters]]
