Belle would warrant an entry, the pokemon %%Fluttershy has at home do not. 2) if you are able to actually add a %%trope to their entry. I kept a few of Gene's pokemon entries but they %%really need a trope to be on the page and 3) they are not from pokemon %%cannon. EXCEPTION: they must have a few tropes to count, so see rule 2 %%for them.

8Original Characters introduced in:
9[[folder: A New World, A New Way]]
10[[AC:Pokemon]]
11!Gene
12A young trainer who fell in love with his Gardevoir, Belle. As a result, he was branded an international criminal for the felony of 'Pokephilia' (ignoring the fact that he and Belle really are in love). Amongst the humans who were sent to Equestria, he is one of the few who whole heartedly accepted this, and even does not want to go back to being human, as in Equestria he and Belle are now free to live their lives together. His Pokemon form is Gallade.
13----
14%%* BerserkButton: Also, NEVER call him by his last name.
15* BladeBelowTheShoulder: Gallade have these, so now he has these too. A RunningGag in some chapters is that Gene keeps accidentally cutting things up (mostly sofas) with said blades.
16* TheCameo: Is mentioned in ''A Brave New World''. See also SneezeCut
17%% * DoNotCallMePaul: See Berserk Button above.
18* EarnYourHappyEnding: Has gone through a lot, but ultimately gets his when he marries Belle.
19%% * HappilyMarried: With Belle.
20* IHaveNoSon: Is on the receiving end of this, when [[spoiler: his own mother called the police when he was [[KickTheDog trying to invite her to his wedding]]]].
21* InterspeciesRomance: Was this with Belle prior to coming to Equestria. Doesn't technically count anymore since they're both Pokemon now.
22* ParentalAbandonment: He lost his father to a Hoenn boating accident.
23* StarCrossedLovers: With his Gardevoir, Belle. Its the main reason why he's happier on Equestria than back on Earth.
24%% * TrueCompanions: With Belle and his team
25
26!Unnamed Trainer
27An unnamed trainer who has so far only appeared in the Prologue. He was the one responsible for breaking the seal on Arceus' Pocket Dimension, intending to battle and capture the god. His fate is currently unknown. Also, due to his personality at the beginning, it is likely he was not chosen to come to Equestria, and thus does not have a Pokemon form. His only known Pokemon are a Blaziken and a Dusknoir.
28----
29* {{Pride}}: What seems to have motivated him to challenge Arceus. This may or may not have led him to his own [[PrideBeforeAFall doom]]
30* TooDumbToLive: If there was a picture of him, he might have earned the right to be the poster boy, since he actually thinks its a good idea to go and pick a fight with a god.
31* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: While not quite that severe, its because of him that Arceus was able to escape from his imprisonment. [[spoiler: Of course, considering that the Legendaries took most of the Pokemon and good people from Earth...]]
32* WeHardlyKnewYe: He only appears once, and is not mentioned again. Added with the fact that Arceus MAY have sent him to a volcanic cavern...
33
34!Belle [[spoiler: Phillips]]
35A female Gardevoir that belonged to Gene and was his starting Pokemon. She and Gene fell in love some time before the start of the fic, an act that was frowned upon in the Pokemon world, forcing them to live life on the run from the authorities. Currently, due to the fact that Equestria has no laws against InterspeciesRomance, they are now free to live their lives together.
36* CastingAShadow: Knows Shadow Ball.
37* EarnYourHappyEnding: Has gone through a lot, but ultimately gets this when she marries Gene.
38* HappilyMarried: With Gene.
39* GreenThumb: Magical Leaf.
40* InterspeciesRomance: With Gene. Since the two were sent to Equis, they are finally able to legally marry.
41* {{Lunacy}}: Knows Moonblast, a powerful Fairy-type attack
42* UndyingLoyalty: Belle is fiercely loyal to Gene, often threatening to lobotomize anyone she feels might be a threat to Gene.
43
44!Fang
45A male Houndoom that belonged to Gene. While not really explained, Fang seems to have had a [[DarkAndTroubledPast rough life]] before Gene rescued him, which earned Fang's loyalty (so much so that Fang was actually sad when he realized that Gene wasn't his trainer anymore). He fully supports his master's relationship with his teammate, and is very happy for them. Also, despite being a ferocious Houndoom, he acts more like a normal loyal dog around Gene.
46
47* BigFriendlyDog: Whenever Gene is around. For reference, Houndoom are only 20 cm shorter than Gallade.
48* TheCameo: makes one in ''A Brave New World''
49* DarkAndTroubledPast: Fang grew up in Hoenn, where Dark types had a bad rap. He found Gene, and decided to be adopted by him.
50* HappilyAdopted: Fang is considered an adopted Pokèmon, as he was caught by a trainer without either side battling.
51* SlasherSmile: Has one for a brief moment before he is siced on Prince Blueblood.
52%%* UndyingLoyalty: Not surprising.
53
54!Draco
55A male Flygon that belonged to Gene. He cares a lot about his trainer, going so far as considering Gene his "hatch-mate", which is the Pokemon term for brother. Draco shows a great amount of loyalty to Gene, going so far as attacking a Gallade that had been acting close to Belle. Too bad he didn't realize that Gallade was Gene.
56* DishingOutDirt: Ground Type lets him do that.
57* HeroWithBadPublicity: He terrifies Appleoosa's population by shrouding the nearby land in a sandstorm. [[spoiler: He actually did it to keep an upset Steelix from causing trouble.]]
58
59!Mage
60A female Mismagius that belonged to Gene.
61%%* BookWorm: Mage is said to be somewhat of this, particularly to history.
62
63
64!River
65A magestic Dragonair. She was found outside of Ponyvile.
66
67* OurDragonsAreDifferent: River is stated to be a Dragonair.
68* MakingASplash: River, being a Dragonair, is alluded to having a Water move.
69* NotAllowedToGrowUp: InvokedTrope. River finds an Everstone and absorbs its power, preventing her from evolving.
70
71!Webber
72A Galvantula found inside the Schoolhouse.
73%%* BigCreepyCrawlies
74%%* ShockAndAwe
75
76!Celestia's Aegislash
77An Aegislash that appeared in the Everfree Forest. It decided to pledge its loyalty to Princess Celestia, seeing as it considered her worthy, and has since become Celestia's (unwanted) guard. Its gender is unconfirmed as of yet, but Celestia has referred to it as a he.
78
79* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Sadly he is currently this, as Celestia was NOT happy when he upped and decided to pledge his loyalty to her. Of course, since at the time Celestia wanted the Pokemon gone from Equus, this might change overtime.
80
81!Arceus
82The God of Pokemon. After being freed from his dimensional prision, Arcues moves the mass majority of pokemon to Equis to get them away from the Human race.
83
84* AGodAmI: He actually laughs when Celestia asks him if he 'considers' himself a God.
85* DidntThinkThisThrough: The whole main plot of the story. He show a bit of humility by eventually admitting it.
86* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Arceus may act HolierThanThou at times, but he is willing to admit he makes mistakes, and try to fix them the best he can.
87* TheNeedless: He doesn't need to eat, drink or sleep. The latter means that despite everything he has a lot free time.
88%%* PhysicalGod
89
90!Other Pokèmon
91Other pokemon that have been encountered by ponykind. They include Celestia's Ninetails, Luna's Swablu, Rarity's Spritzee, Zap the Rotom, Entropy the Porygon Z, the pokemon at fluttershy's cottage[[note]]They include a Duskull, a Cubone, a Skitty, an Oshawatt, a Kabuto, three Eevee's, a Shinx, a Yanma, several Joltik, [[spoiler: Misty's]] Togepi, and a Snivy.[[/note]],Scootaloo's Charmander, Sweetie Belle's Squirtle, and Applebloom's Bulbasaur.
92
93* LampshadeHanging: Zap was in Pinkie Pie's hair when she pulled somethign out of it. He knew somethign was up as he looked inside her hair minutes wans wondered where the object that come from.
94* PowerTrio: The Cutie Mark Crusader's Pokemon, consisting of a Fire, Water, and Grass pokèmon. Bonus points for the three being the Kanto Stater Pokèmon.
95
96%%Celestia's Ninetails
97%%Luna's Swablu
98%%Rarity's Spritzee
99%%Pinkie Pie's Rotom (Zap)
100%%A Rotom Pinkie Pie met in Canterlot. Zap took an almost immediate liking to Pinkie and has %%been with her since. Despite getting along with Pinkie, he sometimes wonders whether or not %%it is safe being with Pinkie due to her random bouts of Fourth Wall breakage.
101%%Entropy
102%%A Porygon Z that took an immediate liking to Discord.
103%%Fluttershy's Pokemon
104%%A group of Pokemon Fluttershy found and took into her cottage. They include a Duskull, a %%Cubone, a Skitty, an Oshawatt, a Kabuto, three Eevee's, a Shinx, a Yanma, several Joltik, %%[[spoiler: Misty's]] Togepi, and a Snivy.
105%%Scootaloo's Charmander
106%%Sweetie Belle's Squirtle
107%%Applebloom's Bulbasaur
108
109!Legendary Council
110A group comprised of all Legendary Pokemon that are known (from Generation 1 to Generation 6). Under Arceus' leadership, they are the ones who ultimately started the entire plot of the fic.
111----
112%%* CloudCuckooLander: Definitely Heatran.
113* DysfunctionalFamily: They mostly cooperate, but some of them don't really like each other. Yveltal actually had doubts about all of them being together until Darkrai talked him into coming.
114
115[[AC:My Little Pony]]
116!Hard Proof/Paranoia
117A Unicorn Stallion from Trottingham. He's one of the few characters who seems to be absolutely against Pokemon (going so far as to refusing to consider them as anything other than monsters), and for that matter, is shown to be a flat out racist and a Xenophobe. Ironically, despite his Cutie Mark being that of an information web (suggesting his talent is information gathering), he seems to make little use of it, making accusations solely on the incident where an Aggron (likely very confused) attacked Trottingham, despite said Aggron being driven away by May and Blaziken who had then explained the situation. Fittingly enough, this has earned him the nickname: Paranoia from the towns people.
118
119* AbsoluteXenophobe: He's worse than even Blueblood, since his Xenophobia extends to any species other than Ponies, and even then he's distrustful of anyone who doesn't see things his way. [[spoiler: It gets worse. He openly shows contempt to anyone who doesn't see things his way, no matter who it is, even if its a Princess, and even calls Twilight (and also implies this to Princess Celestia) a 'traitor' simply for showing acceptance/friendship to the Pokemon]]
120* TooDumbToLive: Yeah, Paranoia. Go and attack the Delphox who used to be human when her Blaziken who has a BodyguardCrush on her is standing right there. [[SarcasmMode That'll be the PERFECT way to make a statement]]...provided that statement is: Come and get me.
121
122[[/folder]]
123
124[[folder: The City is Always Bustling on The Other Side]]
125[[AC:Pokemon]]
126!Nick [[spoiler: (Nicholas "Nick" Harvesti)]]
127A young man who appears in the side story, "The City is Always Bustling on the Other Side", as one of the main characters. He is an adventurous person who would often go to incredible lengths just to experience the sights and adventures of the many regions. He initially thought his coming to Equestria was all just a dream, but quickly realized it was not the case. Shortly after, he gained a liking for his new form and abilities, liking being a Pokemon more than being a human and also seemes to harbor feelings for his Lucario, Elena. His Pokemon form is Zoroark
128----
129* AlmostOutOfOxygen: Nearly gets crushed by a Tyranitar. Good thing Elena got there [[BigDamnHero just in time]]
130* BodyguardCrush: His Lucario, Elena, seems to have this for him, and the ending of the side story suggests that he returns her feelings.
131* CallToAdventure: He jumps at any chance for an adventure, something that he did as a child and never really grew out of it.
132* TheCameo: Appears in the main story.
133* CastingAShadow: Being a Zoroark gives him this.
134* TheDitz: Apparently he has a minor issue with this, since outside of battle, he seems to get easily distracted, especially when traveling.
135* InstantExpert: He learned how to control Zoroark's illusion abilities extremely quickly. Of course, since they're said to be more imagination based, it might not have been all that hard.
136
137!Elena
138A female Lucario that belonged to Nick, and was his starter Pokemon. Elena is extremely loyal and protective of Nick, and though motivated mostly by her sense of loyalty, underneath that its revealed that she secretly harbors feelings for Nick, yet does not want to act on them as she considers the strict trainer-Pokemon relationship as sacred. Her feelings for Nick finally become known to him after he turns into a Zoroark, and its suggested that he returns her feelings.
139
140* BigDamnHero: At the end of the one-shot
141* BodyguardCrush: Has this for Nick. Turns out she had this since before they came to Equus.
142* UndyingLoyalty: Being a Lucario, she is very much loyal to Nick, though its really a mixture of this, and the fact that she harbors feelings for him
143
144!Terra
145A female Mawile that belonged to Nick. Terra considers Nick a dear friend, showing genuine hurt when she though he had abandoned her, and sticking with him when it became apparent that that was not the case. Terra's relationship with Nick is more casual and friendly compared to Elena's more strict and professional relationship with Nick, though she is very much aware of Elena's true feelings, and thus often teased Elena whilst urging her to make her feelings known.
146
147* BigEater: She's a Mawile.
148* ShipperOnDeck: Loves to tease Elena about her feelings for Nick, and whole heartedly supports the idea of them entering a relationship
149** DieForOurShip: When seeing Elena flirting with Meinshao, Terra freaked out and started criticizing her for this. [[spoiler: Averted as it turned out that Nick cast an illusion over Ceelly to make her appear like Elena.]]
150
151[[AC: My Little Pony]]
152! Cheap Skate
153An Earth Pony Stallion from Manehattan. Little is known about him, though his personality shows a cross between a gambler, a cheater, a gangster, and a dirty coward. Prior to the beginning of the fic, he lost a bet to Vinyl Scratch, but instead of accepting the loss, he goes through insane lengths to get the money, whilst flat out ignoring the fact that Vinyl won fair and square. [[spoiler: Turns out, it was only 50 bits]]
154
155
156* DisproportionateRetribution: Sics a Tyranitar on Nick and Terra which could have very likely killed them, despite them never harming so much as a hair on his mane. [[spoiler: The lengths he went to force Vinyl to pay up for beating him at a bet also counts, especially since it was only 50 bits. I'm pretty sure the Tyranitar costed far more than that]]
157* DirtyCoward: Most of his antagonistic acts are done only when he has help backing him up. The only time he does something by himself was when he threatened Vinyl and Octavia...and even that was done with a knife, which may TECHNICALLY count as backup.
158* TooDumbToLive: Going after a couple of musicians is one thing, but attacking a ''princess'' firmly puts him here.
159
160[[/folder]]
161
162[[folder: Pokemon, A 'New' Frontier]]
163[[AC:Pokemon]]
164!Jayce
165A young man who appears in "Pokemon, A 'New' Frontier" as one of the main characters. He is a kind man who cares deeply for his Pokemon (going so far as to not even want to throw Pokeballs at them to catch them...even if he doesn't mind weakening them first), particularly his Meowstic, Nao. He is particularly fond of Nao, treating her with affection that is borderline considered Pokephilia, something that's got them in trouble more than once. His Pokemon form was originally Espurr, but he has since evolved into a Meowstic
166
167
168* CutenessProximity: Seems to treat his Meowstic, Nao, this way. Turns out he has this for all things cute and fluffy.
169* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler: Oh boy, despite Jayce's happy go lucky personality, its revealed that he has easily the darkest past of any of the main characters of the series. To explain, Jayce was orphaned at the age of 13 when his parents were murdered in a cruise ship bombing, leaving him the only survivor. Since then, the only family he would eventually have is his future Pokemon team, starting with Nao]]
170* FriendToAllLivingThings: Has shades of this, though nowhere nearly as extreme as the full trope.
171* LetsGetDangerous: Whenever a particularly serious situation arises, he loses his goofy personality.
172* ParentalAbandonment: [[spoiler:Murdered in an explosion at a party on a boat.]]
173* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: As an Espurr. A little less cute as a Meowstic
174* SpitTake: Does this when Trustful Grace asks if Nao is his wife.
175
176!Nao
177A Meowstic who appears in "Pokemon, A 'New' Frontier", and Jayce's starter Pokemon. She and Jayce share an...interesting relationship while on Earth, which has turned into full on romance since they came to Equus. At first glance, Nao may seem to have all the affection of a house cat, but in reality she really cares for Jayce and often worries about him.
178
179* DeadpanSnarker: She does this from time to time. Also counts as CatsAreSnarkers since Meowstic look like cats
180* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: More when she was an Espurr, but she counts as this as a Meowstic...provided she's in a good mood.
181
182[[AC:My Little Pony]]
183!Rock Soup (Rocky Hooves)
184An Earth Pony stallion from Hollow Shades, Rock Soup is a little...out there.
185
186* ChildhoodBrainDamage: Apparently the reason why he's a CloudCuckooLander
187* CloudCuckooLander: 'Discovers' a new 'passion' AND changes his name on a weekly basis.
188* TooDumbToLive: While it hasn't become (and likely never will be) lethal, the fact remains that if it weren't for his 'friends', its VERY likely he would be dead by now
189
190!Trustful Grace
191A kind Earth Pony mare from Hollow Shades. She's the unofficial mayor of the town and is the most level headed Pony there.
192
193* CutenessOverload: Her reaction upon seeing Nao carrying Jayce as an Espurr. To quote her: "what appeared to be a kitten being held by a cat"
194* DopeSlap: Does this to Rock Soup when the later was being an idiot...again.
195* GoodSamaritan: More or less the reason why she's the unofficial mayor of Hollow Shades, even is she admits that it gets tiring at times.
196* OnlySaneWoman: She's the only Pony from Hollow Shades (so far) who isn't overly superstitious, and actually gives the Pokemon a chance.
197
198[[/folder]]
199
200[[folder: A New World, A New Way - Swarm]]
201[[AC:Pokemon]]
202! Jacob "X" Arrow
203The main human of ''A New Way, A New World - Swarm". X is a construction worker whom isn't very fond of Pokemon battles, partially due to the fact that his parents are world famous Pokemon Trainers. His pokemon form is Chesnaught.
204
205%%* GreenThumb: As a Chesnaught due to his Grass and Fighting types.
206* ImADoctorNotAPlaceholder: He strictly identifies himself as a construction worker, and not a trainer.
207* MrFixIt: Was able to make two working sleds out of the ruins of Nell's cart. Keep in mind that he was currently in a jungle.
208* OneLetterName: It's more of a One Letter Nickname, but as he likes being called X, it counts.
209* OnlyKnownByHisNickname: He prefers to be called X instead of Jacob.
210* SapientSteed: When Nell is riding him. He doesn't seem to mind.
211* ShoutOut: His name is X and he hails from Kalos, which is the region in ''[[VideoGame/PokemonXandY X and Y]]''.
212* TheEngineer: As he is a construction worker this is expected, but how much mechanical knowlege his has is yet to be known.
213%%* TheLeader: of [=ShadowFox=] Construction.
214* ThatWasNotADream: As soon as he realizes he's a Chesnaught, he punches himself. It fails, and he realizes that he really is a Chesnaught.
215
216![=ShadowFox=] Construction
217X's pokemon team consisting of Naruto the Zoroark, Azisa the Trevenant, Inti the Heliolisk, and Apocalypse the Tyrunt. All of them work with X as construction workers. They are somewhat of a dysfunctional family...
218* AllThereInTheManual: So far, the name of their construction company has only been revealed in the story summary.
219* AppropriatedAppellation: The Durant colony began to call Inti the Storming Thunder Breaker. She took a liking to it and claimed it as her own.
220* BrattyHalfPint: Apocalypse has shades of this, as being a BrattyHalfPint is a racial trait of Tyrunts.
221* CantHoldHerLiquor: Inti becomes drunk with just one sip. Usually, this results in her shouting about skulls for skull thrones.
222* DarkIsNotEvil: Naruto is a Dark Type Illusionist whom is TheLancer of [=ShadowFox=] and is a pretty nice guy. He feels it's not right to automatically be branded evil or untrustworthy simply by being a Dark Type.
223* DomesticatedDinosaurs: Apocalypse.
224* EmbarrassingNickname: Inti is called Mister Frilly Face by Nall and Nalel. She is not pleased at this at all.
225* FromMyOwnPersonalGarden: Azisa has Harvest for her ability, so Azisa herself counts as this trope.
226* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: A Tyrunt (A Rock/Dragon dual type pokemon) named Apocalypse definitely counts.
227* NatureSpirit: Azisa, being a Grass Ghost Pokèmon.
228* NominalHero: Inti decides to rescue Kor from the Durant whom kidnapped him. While this is a morally good deed, she did it mostly because saving kidnapped people is a good thing, and more importantly so she could get away from Nall and Nalel (whom were annoying her to no end).
229* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Apocalypse, whom is a Rock Dragon.
230* PlayingWithFire: Naruto's Flamethrower, and Azisa's Will-o-Wisp.
231* ShoutOut: A fox with Illusion powers? [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Wonder how he got that name?]]. Also, Inti's name is likely based on a certain Sun Dragon [[TabletopGame/{{YUGIOH}} Card]]
232* SituationalHandSwitch: Naruto favors his left arm due to an injuring his front right paw as a Zorua.
233* TranslatorBuddy: Naruto is one, [[Anime/PokemonZoroarkMasterOfIllusions as his kind can speak English]] in addition to the Pokemon language.
234
235[[AC:My Little Pony]]
236!Nell
237A Changeling from the Changleing Empire, Nell is unsure of her future. She wishes to train as a merchant like her father.
238
239* AnIcePerson: Knows an Ice spell.
240%%* HairOfGoldHeartofGold
241* MassiveNumberedSiblings: She has two sisters and five brothers.
242* SameSexTriplets: Nell, Nall, and Nalel are for the most part identical in appearance.
243
244!Nell's Family
245Nell's family. They consist of her two brood sisters Nall and Nalel, her father Citel, her mother Hira, and her five younger brood brothers.
246
247* CloudCuckooLander: Nall and Nalel have shades of this.
248* CollectiveIdentity: The brothers are collectivly called the Hordlings.
249* SameSexTriplets: Nell, Nall, and Nalel as mentioned above. Their brothers however are Same Sex Quintuplets.
250* SapientSteed: Banana Beard, a Tropius, is used as their main mode of transport. Appernetly he is large enought to carry seven changelings and Inti.
251* ShoutOut: Nell's brood brothers are named [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Kyo,Koruk,Roku,Aang]], and [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Kor]]
252
253!Emperor Carapace
254The true leader of the Changeling Empire, whom Queen Chrysalis' grandfather.
255
256* CoolAirship: Arrives to the World Summit in once, which is large enough to carry [[spoiler:an Evolved Apocalypse]].
257%%* TheEmperor
258* HorseOfADifferentColor: Justified. While Equinoids can be used to pull carriages, it's more of a job, and the rich tend to use other species for the job since they can afford it. Which is exactly why Carapace has two tigers pull his carriage instead of two changelings.
259* GreenThumb: Loves plants and has a few grass based spells.
260* TravelCool: His royal carrage is Gothic in style, and is pulled by two tigers.
261* SeriousBusiness: He takes his garden way to seriously.
262* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Battled against Blastoie, proving his power.
263* RuleOfCool: His tiger pulled carriage.
264
265!Rizen and Silver Heart
266ThoseTwoGuys that are part of the Changeling royal gaurd. They serve as two of Carapaces trusted warriors and advisors.
267
268* [[HalfHumanHybrid Half-Changeling hybrid]] Silver Heart is half changeling and half earth pony. This caused him to be discriminated against until he saved those whom bullied him from being crushed to death by debris.
269* RedOniBlueOni: Silver is the red oni, as he is very crass and sarcastic while the calm analyitcan and former psychiatrist Rizen is the blue.
270* SuperStrength: Due to his half Earth Pony heritage, Silver Heart is pyschically stronger than most changelings.
271%%* ThoseTwoGuys

274
275[[folder: A Brave New World]]
276[[AC:Pokemon]]
277!Seth Crescent
278Seth Crescent is the main human character of A Brave New World. He supports Human/Pokemon relationships, but due to his stance he is rendered a social outcast. His pokemon form in Equus is Luxray.
279
280* ChickMagnet: He's had females of multiple species making passes at him.
281** CluelessChickMagnet: And he's completely oblivious to any of it. [[spoiler: Somewhat adverted. He just pretends to be clueless. Sometimes.]]
282* RageAgainstTheHeavens: He has a bout of this in chapter 3. Justified, since Arceus' actions have basically made his 7 years of being a ZombieAdvocate for Pokemon/Human relationships (and all the trouble/peril that came with it) completely meaningless.
283%%* ShockAndAwe: Due to now becoming a Luxray.
284* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Seth tells Rika several things only she would know to prove that he's really Seth.
285* ZombieAdvocate: Seth supports Human/Pokemon relationships, though he himself is not in one. Thus, he is considered a social outcast
286
287!Rika
288Seth's Sylevon. Upon awakening in Canterlot, she was problty captured by Photo Finish to be used in a Photo Shoot.
289
290* LadyLooksLikeADude: Apparently Seth though she was a guy when he caught her as an Eevee.
291%%* VitriolicBestBuds
292
293!Selena
294Seth's Absol. She apparently awakened in Canterlot. She is stated to have feelings for Nick, but doesn't seem to actively pursue him.
295
296!Ignis Cresscent
297Seth's Charizard, whom was his starter Pokemon. Despite leaving Seth's group to pursue his dream of becoming the best, he still cares for Seth like a brother.
298
299* ButNowIMustGo: Leaves the party in order to become strong enough to battle the Legendary Pokemon
300
301!Heath
302Seth's Sandshrew, and the latest addition to his team.

308!John
309A human trainer who wakes up on the outskirts of the Crystal Empire. So far, while his exact occupation is unknown, he is shown to be affiliated with the police, or some kind of authority back on Earth. His Pokemon form is Infernape.

340* {{Jerkass}}: His first appearance paints him as this, but its actually not completely the case.

376[[AC:Pokemon]]
377!Alice Maximilion/Phantom Thief Fox
378The latest in the long line of Phantom Thieves, and a Pokemon Researcher (in-training). So far she has been content with continuing her work as Fox...and has been doing a pretty good job of it all things considered. Her Pokemon form is (unsurprisingly) Zorua, later Zoroark.
379* AnimalMotifs: The Foxes have always used Zoroark as their symbol, to the point that even Alice as a human is often described as being 'A Zoroark in a human body'.
380* BenevolentBoss: While her position as 'trainer' is really just a formality to her team, she cares greatly for them, even prioritizing everyone escaping safely over actually succeeding in a heist. Though she's not above using some danger as a learning experience if she feels it necessary.
381* DarkIsNotEvil: Her main theme, as in both human AND Pokemon form, she uses illusions and tricks to fool her opponents, and her team's main two members are both Dark-type Pokemon.
382* CrazyPrepared: How she pulls off some of her harder heists. In fact, its part of why her entire line has been able to remain uncaught for 5 CENTURIES.
383* GracefulLoser: Her reaction to Twilight Sparkle outwitting her by swapping her prize with a fake? Send a recording of her laughing, followed by what amounted to "well played" and declaring her respect for the unicorn.
384* LineageComesFromTheFather: While her parents haven't actually appeared on-screen, it is known that she inherited the title of Fox from her father, while her mother hasn't been mentioned much, though WordOfGod states that both her parents are alive and well.
385* LonelyRichKid: It should be noted that as a human, Alice really didn't have all that many human friends, and growing up, her only real human friend was Jonathan.
386* LovableRogue: In either identity, she's not a bad person, and is really quite nice and polite...even if she sometimes trolls her opponents, and even then its to rile them up.
387* MacGyvering: While not explicitly seen, one has to wonder how she is making advanced gadgets with...likely whatever she has on hand (doesn't count of the gadgets Toichi makes for her though).
388* PhantomThief: Do we really have to explain?
389* SecretIdentity: Played with since coming to Equus, but generally only people inside Sleight and Storm's circle know that Alice and Fox are one and the same. Of course, there's also Alice herself and her team.
390* {{Expy}}: Alice as Fox is a clear allusion to other fictional Thieves, namely Kaito Kid, Arsene Lupin, Catwoman, Sly Cooper, and Carmen Sandiego.
391* VillainProtagonist: Very much {{Averted}}. While she can be more of an AntiHero, she is still firmly in hero territory with her motives and actions.

401!Jonathan Trace
402A dedicated police officer, and the one in charge of dealing with Fox related cases, Jonathan comes from a long line of law enforcers, and does his job with pride and determination. His Pokemon form is Riolu, later Lucario.
403
404* [[AFatherToHisMen A Brother To His Team]]: Jonathan cares greatly for his team and anyone working with him, though his exact relation is closer to that of a concerned older brother. Note: This also extends to [[spoiler: Fox]] when they work together.
405* TheRival: He's been after Fox for 5 years, and his entire family has been known to be the only ones who could come close to catching Fox in the various generations.
406* SympatheticInspectorAntagonist: He's actually the second main protagonist of the fic, only being 'antagonistic' due to trying to catch Fox. He really doesn't have a single evil bone in him.

418!Sleight Hoof and Quick Storm
419An elderly Pony couple, the two of them found Alice as a Zorua, with Quick Storm adopting her as a sort of pet. Alice helps them bury their pasts, and even shares her ideals with them, making them her main two supporters on Equus.
420* BenevolentBoss: They treat their servants very well, to the point of them having UndyingLoyalty to the old couple. Heck, when the danger of their old gang retaliating was possible, the old couple was more worried about their servants getting hurt than say...their mansion being torched to the ground.
421* CoolOldGuy: While not exactly action focused, they are pretty cool in their own ways.
422
423!Toichi
424A young Unicorn, and Sleight and Storm's adoptive son. He is shown to be quite intelligent, with a strong talent for magic, with enchanting being his special talent.
425* GadgeteerGenius: A magical example, he often creates a lot of magical gadgets that help Alice/Fox.
426* LonelyRichKid: Justified...sorta. His adoptive parents may be rich, but he's had to pretend that he was their servant rather than son for much of the time before Alice came along. That...might not have given him many options in the friends department.
427* ShoutOut: Named after the first Kaitou Kid
428* Undying Loyalty: He begins to see Fox as his idol and wants to be like her. It gets to point where he is willing to openly resist authority figures like Johnathan and Steven and defend Alice’s honor.
429
430!The Equestria Irregulars (Info Scoop, Picture Perfect, and White Ink)
431A trio who are good friends with Sleight and Storm, and like them, former members of a criminal gang. The three of them generally help Alice/Fox via providing information and tip offs on local crime lords, depending on the city.
432* AllThereInTheManual: They aren't officially called that name in the fic, though the term is mentioned once.
433* ShoutOut: With that name, its pretty obvious

500
501Canon Characters appearing in:
502[[folder: A New World, A New Way]]
503[[AC:Pokemon]]
504!Korrina
505The Gym Leader of the Shalour City Gym. As Korrina has not appeared in any media other than the game, it is likely that this version of her is based on her game counterpart. She seems (at first) to have the strongest want to go back to being human, and shows noticeable disgust towards Gene and Belle's relationship (though to be fair, she's getting better), which makes it even more awkward since her own Lucario had been harboring feelings for her. Her Pokemon form is Lucario.
506----
507
508!Professor Juniper
509The regional Pokemon Professor of the Unova Region. She is a close friend of Belle and Gene, as she is one of the people who knew about their relationship, yet did not find it disgusting. Amongst the humans, she more or less maintains a neutral position as while she would like to go back to being human, she doesn't really mind being a Pokemon either. As a Pokemon Researcher, she simply loves sharing her knowledge of Pokemon, and has gained an interest of understanding Equestria as well. A fact that allows her to get along quite well with Princess Twilight Sparkle. Her Pokemon form is Beheeyem.
510----
511
512!Misty
513The Gym Leader of the Cerulean City Gym. This version of Misty seems to be based strongly off of her [[Anime/PokemonTheSeries anime]] version, based on the fact that she has a Togepi which she cares for like a mother (in the anime, Misty gained a Togepi that imprinted on her, thinking she was her mother). Amongst the humans, she also wants to go back to being human, but is a bit less adamant about it than Korrina. Her Pokemon form is Vaporeon.
514
515* AttackHello: Her first appearance includes her attacking Fluttershy, though it was to [[MamaBear protect Togepi]]
516* MakingASplash: As she's a water Pokemon now, she is able to do this.
517* MamaBear: Is this to Togepi
518
519!May
520A trainer from the Hoenn region, likely from Petalburg City. Based on what little has been seen so far, this version of May is likely based on her anime counterpart, due to her Blaziken, which in the anime, was her starter Pokemon. She is noticeably uncomfortable about her situation, but seems to be coping well enough thanks to Blaziken's help, though their relationship has gotten a little awkward due to Blaziken developing a BodyguardCrush on her. Her Pokemon form is Delphox.
521
522* BodyguardCrush: Her Blaziken has one for her, which makes their relationship rather awkward, since she seems to have some feelings for him as well, but she seems unwilling to admit them, likely due to the laws banning InterspeciesRomance that were present back on Earth.
523* PlayingWithFire: She's able to do this, which she and Blaziken used to drive away an Aggron from Trottingham.
524
525!Falkner
526The gym leader of the Violet City Gym. This version of Falkner is likely based on his anime counterpart, due to the Pidgeot he owned before being transported to Equestria (his Pidgeot is more iconic in the anime than the game), though he could also be based on the game version, since he also has a Pidgeot in the games. Surprisingly, he is one of the humans who prefers being a Pokemon rather than a human, mostly due to him liking his new ability to fly. Also, despite being a Gym Leader who is officially supposed to follow the law and be opposed to crimes (such as Pokephilia), he is currently in a relationship with his Pidgeot. His Pokemon form is Pidgeot.
527
528!Korrina's Lucario
529A male Lucario that belonged to Korrina. Based on what has been seen so far, this is the same Lucario that Korrina retains after giving one of her Lucario to the player character in the game. Lucario is loyal and faithful to Korrina, choosing to stick with her even though she's technically not his trainer anymore, going so far as to putting Korrina's wish of becoming human again ahead of [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy his own wish]] of [[BodyguardCrush being with her]]
530
531
532!Misty's Togepi
533A female Togepi that belonged to Misty. This Togepi is likely based on the one from the anime, and like the anime, Misty cares for her like a mother caring for her child.
534
535
536!May's Blaziken
537A male Blaziken that belonged to May. It is likely that he is, or is based on the Blaziken from the anime, as the anime version of May chose a Torchick as her starter. Blaziken cares a lot about May, working hard to help her control her new abilities, as well as being very protective of her. Along the way, Blaziken seems to have developed [[BodyguardCrush feelings]] for May, which she seems to return to a lesser extent, albeit VERY reluctantly.
538
539
540!Falkner's Pidgeot
541A female Pidgeot that belonged to Falkner. She and Falkner have been partners (the trainer-Pokemon kind) for a very long time, even suggesting that she may have been his starter Pokemon. Because of this, she and Falkner are now in a relationship, as the old laws of Earth no longer apply. It is likely that she is based off of the anime version, as Falkner's Pidgeot in the game is male.

552* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: The fact that Arceus brought him to Equis would make him this. So far his actions come off more as "not evil enough to be left behind".
553* KnightTemplar: If he thinks someone is a criminal, then pissing off the rulers of Equestria for that single person is worth it.
554* NobleBigotWithABadge: He might genuinely want to protect Pokemon. To him, that doesn't mean they get a say in it.

568! Elesa
569The Gym Leader of Nimbasa City, and an old friend of Seth's. She seems to have feelings for Seth, though he seems to be oblivious to it. She's relatively neutral about being a Pokemon, though she's leaning more to wanting to go back to being human. Her Pokemon form is Flaffy.
570----
571* ShockAndAwe: She's a Flaffy now.
572
573!Nimbasa City Nurse Joy
574The Nurse Joy in charge of the Pokemon Center in Nimbasa City, Unova.
575----
576* BitchInSheepsClothing: Downplayed - she seems to be misguided and prejudiced rather than an outright jerk - but Seth is not fooled by her attempt at concealing her disgust at his (false) reputation for Pokephilia, nor by the lies she and apparently other nurses have fed him so that they can inspect his Pokemon for signs of "abuse".
