* LiteralSplitPersonality: Being Evan's "dark half."

* RedEyesTakeWarning
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: To Evan.

!!Kane
A man who appeared underneath Opelucid some time after the Ancients' defeat and was subsequently freed by Feral.

* DemotedToExtra: Played a fairly recurring role in Unova, though has made hardly any appearances since then. Not that it isn't justified, given the circumstances of his defeat.
* EnemyWithin: To Kyle.

!!Minor Antagonists

[[folder: Déoza]]
!!Déoza
A weapons organization allied with Ford. Little is actually known about them, but they have become more active and more cooperative with Ford as more and more of the other side-organizations are dismantled.

* BloodKnight: Universal across the organization, it seems.
* BossInMookClothing
* TheBrute: Argall, of the agents shown in Havoc.

* PutOnABus: After Opelucid.

!!Carl Sandrock
The head of Soil Colossus, Inc. Formerly a Team Rocket scientist, Sandrock worked on a mind control machine for much of his time in the organization, until it was forcibly shut down by Shadow Admin Sleight, losing his original Pokémon team in the process. In retaliation, he devised a plan to get back at them.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Did everything in his power to be as big of a thorn in Sleight's side as possible. [[GoneHorriblyRight He succeeded, with disastrous consequences for himself.]]
* BoomHeadshot: Courtesy of Sleight.
* CavalryBetrayal
* ExtraOreDinary: Specialized in Ground-Types.

* MeaningfulName: A Ground-Type trainer named '''Sandrock'''. How appropriate.
* OhCrap: His reaction upon discovering that Soil Colossus' "blood-bending" machine did not work on Sleight.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Received a brutal one from Sleight just before his death.
* RevengeByProxy
* ShoutOut: His organization's name and the name of their headquarters were a reference to one of Website/{{Smogon}}'s CAP projects, Collossoil.
* SmugSnake
* UnderestimatingBadassery: ''Severely'' underestimated how far Sleight would go to retaliate against him.

!!Team Zephyr
A group of eight trainers who took over the Celadon Department Store. At the moment, not much is known about them, but they seem to have some sort of interest in Rayquaza.

* {{Adorkable}}: Skye.
* BlowYouAway: The main theme of their team is the Flying-Type, as evidenced by their name and their interest in Rayquaza. Certain members did not get the memo.
* BoxedCrook: Ethan convinced the police to give them this opportunity. Only Skye and Skylark took up the offer.
* CatchPhrase: Windy's "As if."
* {{Expy}}: 3/8 of the team have been based around this.
** Skyler heavily invokes [[{{Franchise/ScoobyDoo}} Shaggy Rogers]], and his Pokémon team consists of [[JustForPun punny]] references to the rest of the Mystery Inc. gang.
** Skylark is obsessed with music, has a brother named Chip, and is part of a band with said brother called the [[{{WesternAnimation/TheFairlyoddparents}} Chipped Skylarks]].
** Skye is not a reference to anyone in particular; however, in her introduction she is revealed to be a comic book nerd who idolizes such heroes as [[{{Franchise/Batman}} Crobatman]], [[{{Franchise/GreenLantern}} Green Lanturn]], [[{{Franchise/SpiderMan}} Spinarak-Man]], [[{{ComicBook/FantasticFour}} The Human Torchic]], and [[{{ComicBook/Hawkeye}} Hawlucha-Eye]]. Coincidentally, she also shares a name with [[Series/AgentsOfSHIELD another superhero-related group member named Skye.]]
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Windy attempted to use a mysterious green orb to summon and control Rayquaza, and when it did not work she began to mishandle it. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a Transfer Orb, which ended up merging her with her Pidgeot.
* MeaningfulName: All of Team Zephyr's members' names evoke the sky or the wind in some form or another. Yet, even so...
* OddNameOut: Team Zephyr consists of Skylon, Skyle, Skylark, Skyler, Skya, Skylah, Skye, and their leader... Windy.
* TokenEvilTeammate: Skyle.
* VillainousBreakdown: Occurred to Windy when she realized that her orb wasn't working.

!!Esen Windred
A lone Trainer who appeared in Cianwood City in order to help against the brainwashed Rocket Elites, Esen soon revealed herself to be none other than the daughter of the late Shadow Admin Ace.

* TheAce: When it comes to combat.
* ActionGirl
* AmnesiacHero: She doesn't remember anything about her life before the age of ten or so.
* AwesomenessByAnalysis
* {{Badass}}
** BadassBookworm: Often, her inner monologues during battle reference the combat training she received, which thus far has covered basic topics like type advantages to more nuanced studies like the battle styles of specific Gym Leaders and Pokémon.
* BlowYouAway: All of her Pokémon so far have been Flying-Type, much like her mother.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Gets two shortly after her introduction.
** First, she makes short work of the same Gym Leader-strength Pokémon that had handily defeated TL Agents Jenny and Hex moments before her arrival, through virtually perfect use of type advantages, immunities and superior strength.
** After telling off Silvermind for her role in Ace's death, she nonetheless saves the Liberty Admin from what could have been a lethal Charge Beam attack, suffering an injury to herself in the process.
* MeaningfulName: In addition to the "wind" in "Windred," "Esen" is a Turkish name meaning "the wind," further referencing her type specialty.
* NotGoodWithPeople: A mixture of the two types.
* PeekABangs
* SheCleansUpNicely: During the Liberty Ball.
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* TheQuietOne

!!Eileen Alaric
Sleight's wife, a woman noted by Sang for her powerful presence and fierce determination.

* AscendedExtra: First appeared as an off-hand mention in the time skip post (as well as having been briefly mentioned by [=McKlellen=] during Team Rocket's assault on Soil Colossus); later becomes much more important when her son is kidnapped.
* {{Badass}}: She lasted much longer and did more damage against the Darkrai that Ford sent to attack her than Sang's entire team did, which is saying something.
* {{Determinator}}: Part of Sang's observations about her during a brief encounter.
* MamaBear: The overall impression she gives off to Sang in a very brief encounter.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: While not exactly "royal," she ''is'' the wife of the most powerful man in Kanto, and she insists on personally joining the search for her missing son.

!!Levi Alaric
Sleight's son, who disappeared under unknown circumstances shortly after the six month time skip. Later revealed to have been abducted and recruited by the Hojohsin League as the Eighth Child.

* AscendedExtra: First appeared as an off-hand mention in the time skip post (as well as having been briefly mentioned by [=McKlellen=] during Team Rocket's assault on Soil Colossus), and was later kidnapped under mysterious circumstances.
* ChildSoldier: Virtually all of Ford's apprentices are this to some extent, given their early recruitment, but Calvin in particular is implied to be somewhere around the age of nine or ten.
* CodeName: Calvin Truman, the Eighth Child.
* CoveredWithScars: According to his mother, courtesy of an accident that occurred shortly before the beginning of the story.
* MindRape: Implied to be enduring this in his introductory post.
* MommasBoy: Described as much closer to his mother than his father.
* ShoutOut: His CodeName was specifically chosen as a reference to ComicStrip/CalvinAndHobbes.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: Described as having black hair and blue eyes, just like his mother and father, though notably not as icy-intense of a blue as his father.
* TroubledChild
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: Wore one when he appeared in Havoc. Much like his general presence there and cooperation with Ford, he likely did not don it willingly. It was later discarded on James Pierce's orders.
