History Characters / PokemonRebornTeamMeteor

* SignatureMon: Their three Eeveelutions - Umbreon, Espeon, and Glaceon respectively. [[spoiler:Also, briefly the PULSE Magnezone that led to them all sharing the same body.

* PetTheDog: When [[spoiler: Lin turns up at the Tanzan mountain base, Sirius gets the player to pretend they're a Meteor recruit so Lin won't kill all of them and you. Then, once Lin has left, Sirius tells the player this is their only chance to get out alive.]] Of course, he could have done that [[PragmaticVillainy just to save his own skin]].

* MindControl: Can do this to up to two people at a time, while also channeling the sleeping spell on Agate. [[spoiler:And they can do it to anyone they want - you included]].

* TheSociopath: [[spoiler: Starving an entire city to death to get what he wants? Throwing his own brother off a cliff? He can do all that and not lose any sleep.]]
* ThrewMyBikeOnTheRoof: Blake is often a jerk for the mere joy of insulting and hurting others, and not necessarily because he has anything to gain from it.

* TragicVillain: This game's version of one. [[spoiler: Defiant and rebellious while young, he now views that behaviour as the reason his parents died. His family was the original holders of the 4 keys, protecting them and the Citadel with their lives. Then came a thief who killed them and tried to steal the keys, only to be killed by Solaris in return. This caused him to fully devote himself to their family's purpose. Sometime in between then and the plot as it is now, Reborn City and it's Predecessor were built over the Citadel and the community that surrounded it. Originally he founded Meteor to protect the Citadel but as it was built over and forgotten, Meteor's purpose turned towards getting people to leave the city to restore the Citadel. While this was mostly passive at first, over time it turned into the full blown terorrism you see today, as a result of members like Lin and Sirius. In the end, what does the man get for trying to uphold his family's duty and protect Reborn's history? He loses everything he had left. His son. His pride. His organisation.]]

* [[spoiler:TheUnfought: In the main story, since Cal has his Magmortar annihilate it with Blast Burn before you even get to fight it. During the Darkrai quest, you finally fight it in Shiv’s dream realm.]]

* LightningBruiser: [[spoiler:It's obscenely fast, and while it starts out not able to hit very hard, a few uses of Overheat or Fleur Cannon will allow it to rip through your team like there's no tomorrow]].

* HateSink: If her murderous, sociopathic, and completely evil actions and personality didn’t make her this already she definitely became this trope when she murdered Ame. [[spoiler:Subverted by her true self]].

* MadeOfIron: Survived multiple slashes from an Aegislash as well as having it plunged directly through her body. She woke up unscathed immediately after. It turns out this could be literal, as Samson punched her head-on when he encountered her in Agate, and says he's dented ''steel'' softer than Lin.

* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: [[spoiler:His parents were killed by somebody searching for the four Keys. [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge He did not take it well.]] To a degree, he apparently [[MyGreatestFailure blames himself for their deaths]].]]

* FormerTeenRebel: [[spoiler:El’s book says that he used to be this until his parents died.]]

--> [[spoiler:Children cry because they do not understand. Adults cry because they do.]]
* MoralityPet: [[spoiler: Taka is his. Despite disapproving of the methods his father has turned to, Taka speaks quite highly of the man and simply wishes for Meteor to go back to how it was before Lin joined.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: WordOfGod is that Solaris is a codename, and not his actual name.

* StrongAndSkilled: Despite his huge disadvantage to Amaria type wise, as he has a Sandstorm team - and on top of his ace, Garchomp, having been taken out by a sneak Ice Beam attack - he proceeds to engage in battle anyways and was seemingly holding his own.

* HateSink: If her murderous, sociopathic, and completely evil actions and personality didn’t make her this already she definitely became this trope when she murdered Ame.

* MindControlDevice: The PULSE2s were created to override the free will of their occupant.

* TeleportersAndTransporters: An ''extremely'' powerful version thereof, who doesn't have to be anywhere close to the stuff it's teleporting, or go to the target destination itself. If only Team Meteor had remembered to add the "loyal to us" feature...

-->"I expect loyalty to the family, not needless cruelty."

[[folder:ZEL '''UNMARKED SPOILERS''']]

[[folder:ZEL]]

A high-ranking Team Meteor Admin, and the creator of the PULSE machines.

* AmbiguousGender: ZEL themselves, but even their individual personalities don't have explicit genders (at first). [[spoiler: This may in part be because ZEL was originally 3 separate people, two of which were female and the last of which was a (male) Team Meteor agent overseeing the creation of the first PULSE.]]

* CastingAShadow: Their Umbreon, representative of (and commanded by) Zero.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: [[spoiler:Whether because he's unsure what to do anymore or because of lingering mental effects from the destruction of Magnezone, it's pretty clear that Zero's broken up due to Eve and Lumi's seeming deaths]].
* EvilGenius: Eve was responsible for the creation of the PULSE.

* IllGirl: [[spoiler: Lumi, who was sick with a genetic disease that also killed her and Eve's parents.]]
* JerkAss: Zero, and to a lesser extent, Eve.
* AnIcePerson: They use a Glaceon, which represents (and is controlled by) Lumi.
* [[NiceGuy Nice Person]]: Lumi is meek, friendly, and in general seems at odds with the machinations of Team Meteor.
* PsychicPowers: Espeon, in reference to (and commanded by) Eve.
* SanitySlippage: After [[spoiler:Eve and Lumi vanish in Episode 16, Zero starts losing it, to say the least. By Episode 18, he's completely lost it.]]

* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: [[spoiler: Eve. Her efforts to heal her sister brought the PULSE machines to life.]]
* WrenchWench: [[spoiler: Eve, or rather Evelynn, who built the first PULSE machines to try to cure Lumi's/Lumina's disease.]]

[[folder:Taka Alcantara]]
!!Taka/[[spoiler:Mintaka]] Alcantara
[[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vstrainer123.png]]
An oddly-friendly Team Meteor Admin.

* {{Sleepyhead}}: According to Taka, she has narcolepsy and is often found randomly asleep. It's never been seen in-game, though.

Beginning the game as a Meteor private, Lin gradually rises through the ranks and usurps Solaris's position. [[spoiler:It is eventually revealed that this Lin is but a puppet of her real self, a 12 year-old girl blessed with Arceus's power but trapped in the New World.]]

* MysteriousPast: Few things are revealed about Lin's past in the main story, such as the existence of a cruel child younger than Anna in the Orphanage also named Lin, who one day disappeared after being punished by Connal. (If Saphira was kidnapped in the Tanzan Raid, adult Lin alludes to one of child Lin's actions.) It is also that falling into the Citae Astrae, where Arceus's meteor is enshrined, is what aged her and gave her her powers. [[spoiler:The postgame, especially on her route, greatly elucidates her past]].
* NothingIsScarier: It's never been totally explained just ''where'' she came from or got her powers, and she's not talking herself.

Beginning the game as a Meteor private, Lin gradually rises through the ranks and usurps Solaris's position.

* BadBoss: In her first in-game appearance, ZEL and Sirius decide they’d rather pretend you’re a new recruit and let you go free afterwards than let Lin find out how much you’ve interfered with their plans, despite otherwise having you outnumbered four to one, stating that she'll rip you all apart otherwise.
* BigBad: Apart from being the true leader of Team Meteor after she took over from Solaris, in episode 16, she cements herself as this by forcing a FightingYourFriend scenario on you, Adrien, Victoria, and Arclight, as well as having her Hydreigon murder Ame, the Reborn League champion and the closest thing the game has to a BigGood.
* TheCorrupter: To Team Meteor. According to Eclipse, they went from greyish to full-on evil once Lin started getting into positions of power.
* DarkIsEvil: Her sole known Pokemon that belongs to her is an incredibly powerful Hydreigon.

* HiddenAgendaVillain: Her goals have yet to be truly revealed, but involve Arceus in some way.
* InvincibleVillain: Eighteen episodes in, and the good guys have never even managed to so much as ''annoy'' her when she gets involved.

* KickTheDog: In Episode 16, Lin forces you, Arclight, Adrienn and Victoria to fight each other, and whoever loses suffers a “penalty”. These “penalties” included Arclight having an eye ripped out, Adrienn being trapped in a cage with a superheated floor, and Victoria having to undergo electroshock torture. All three survived… but the same can’t be said for Ame, who Lin directly ordered her Hydreigon to kill.
* LightIsNotGood: [[spoiler:Later on, she adds a Gardevoir - likely a PULSE-2 brainwashed Gossip Gardevoir - and Ame's Alolan Ninetails to her team]].

* MysteriousPast: It’s implied that she may have been a child at the Orphanage years ago even younger than Anna, and that she fell into the area under Reborn/was thrown down there by Connal, where Arceus’s meteor was enshrined, and was somehow made older by the energy radiating from it, or just aged via TheSlowPath and came out only a while later thanks to [[YearInsideHourOutside the fluid nature of time in the surrounding area]]. However, Lin herself has yet to comment on her past.

* NighInvulnerable: [[spoiler:It's a ''Ghost/Dark type with Wonder Guard'', plus it has Leftovers as a held item and Moonlight to heal, meaning that even hurting it at all is almost impossible, and that a OneHitKO is ''completely'' impossible, since it's at level 100 when you fight it, and its defenses and HP are all through the roof]].

* DishingOutDirt: The second and third Tangrowth have a secondary Ground and Rock typing, respectively - it's explained that this is the result of the poisons they're taking in ''petrifying in their bodies'']].

* LastEpisodeNewCharacter: An interesting example - they weren't added to the game until Episode 19, but due to work on the game's script, are present before the third gym.
* PlayingCardMotifs: They introduce themselves as the "Ace of Clubs" in your first battle with them.

* GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler: Luminia's]] journal reveals that the first PULSE machine was designed by [[spoiler: Evelyn]] to amplify the healing powers of a pokemon [[spoiler:in hope of healing her sister's genetic illness]]. Then Team Meteor caught wind of the invention and figured it could be used to enhance the power of all kinds of Pokémon. [[spoiler:Magneton fell into the PULSE as it started evolving, and it led to the creation of ZEL.]]

A PULSE placed at the peak of Pyrous Mountain, to trigger an artificial volcanic eruption when Team Meteor required it. [[spoiler:It was set up by Cal, who also ordered his Magmortar to destroy it after Kiki's death]].
A Fire/Ground type with Desolate Land as an ability.

* [[spoiler:TheUnfought: Cal has his Magmortar annihilate it with Blast Burn before you even get to fight it]].
* WeaksauceWeakness: Averted - it's got a Ground/Fire typing like Camerupt normally does, but it's also got the Desolate Land ability, nullifying any Water attacks that you might bring along. [[spoiler:And Cal destroys it before you can fight it anyways]].

[[spoiler:A PULSE created by Team Meteor in Tanzan Mountain, which is responsible for all the teleportation mishaps in the nearby area]].

* GoneHorriblyWrong: Team Meteor intended to use Abra to DungeonBypass [[spoiler:the lock on the outside of the Citae d'Astra, the tower where Arceus's Meteor is stored]]. As it turns out, though, Abra wasn't willing to cooperate. Even when Lumi asked nicely.

The source of the sleep spell over Agate City, [[spoiler:which Team Meteor has hidden away in the Glass Workshop]].

* PlayingCardMotif: They introduce themselves as the "Ace of Clubs" in your first battle with them.
