| 8 | !!In General |
| 9 | A mysterious terrorist organisation operating in Aevium. Having been relatively docile for a long time, they have finally decided to enact their nefarious plan. |
| 10 | ---- |
| 11 | * BattleThemeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR2gwvTF2fc Battle - Team Xen]]. The Analysts, Mages, and Death Wings get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjbmOIDk9KU this variation]] |
| 12 | * JackTheRipoff: [[spoiler:The original Team Xen was a criminal organisation operating in the Miera Region. After the nuclear meltdown killed their leader, Lord Xenadin, and destroyed the region, they stopped operating. Around 50 years later, this Team Xen appeared, now in the control of Madame X.]] |
| 13 | * MeaningfulRename: All of the executives use pseudonyms, ranging from combining two names meaningful to the person to [[PaperThinDisguise just removing the first letter of their name.]] |
| 14 | * MysteriousPast: Most of the executives, and especially Madame X. |
| 15 | * NomDeGuerre: The aliases the executives use. |
| 16 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: As far as most of Aevium knew for a while, they were mostly harmless. This was not the case. [[spoiler:Just ask the residents of the Badlands]]. |
| 17 | * SoLastSeason: The Shadow Pokémon. They were actually a genuine threat on the first 2 Chapters, particulary Shadow Mewtwo, but they became rarer after the destruction of their factory. Since Madelis disable your snag Machine, when facing Geara's grunts in Chapter 4 you just have to KO them instead of catching them (wich is much easier). Then in the Terajuma Arc, you only face the (now under-levelled) Shadow Pokemon of Chapter 4. Other than [[spoiler:SEC]] Shadow Slakoth in Chapter 8, no Shadow Pokemon appear anymore in the game. |
| 18 | ** However, Shadow Pokemon reappear in Chapter 15, [[spoiler:since Cassandra has at least one - a Shadow Bisharp - on her team]]. |
| 19 | * TrappedInVillainy: Most of the lower-level members are this. See Madame X's profile for why. |
| 20 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:The Death Wings operate on this trope- if they fail a mission, the penalty is death. All of them are fully aware of this.]] |

| 28 | |
| 29 | Melia's foster father and the regional professor, who has been working with Team Xen [[spoiler:and the Storm Chasers.]] |
| 30 | ---- |
| 31 | * AntiVillain: Sure, he's part of Team Xen, but he sincerely cares for Melia and even sent the player to Goldenwood Forest to try and prevent Melia from being kidnapped. [[spoiler:And like a lot of the other Team Xen members, thanks to Madame X he was TrappedInVillainy]]. |
| 32 | * BeardOfSorrow: He grows stubble on his chin [[spoiler:while hiding out from Team Xen in the Aquamarine Depths.]] |
| 33 | * BecomingTheMask: [[spoiler:Team Xen gave Melia to him with the intention of him simply raising her until she was old enough and then giving her to them. Instead, Jenner came to genuinely love and care for Melia, and wound up wanting her to have her own life away from Team Xen and the Storm Chasers.]] |
| 34 | * DyingMomentOfAwesome: He [[spoiler:flies his Klinklang up to the summit of Valor Mountain and uses it to take out all the Grunts Geara had posted there as backup in case the player and Melia beat him. Geara then uses his Giratina to knock Jenner and Klinklang into the lava.]] |
| 35 | * GoodParents: Until everything went south, he was a good and kind father to Melia, and genuinely cared for and supported her. |
| 36 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: He's thrown into the lava by Geara just after he helps you and Melia at Valor Mountain by taking out a large number of Team Xen Grunts.]] |
| 37 | * HiddenDepths: Was apparently in a death metal band when he was young, and he helps Amber [[spoiler:create a distraction for Melia and the player character from Team Xen by screaming into a microphone while she plays guitar.]] Later, after [[spoiler:his death, his spirit rematch takes place on the Concert Venue field for similar reasons.]] |
| 38 | * HoistByTheirOwnPetard: He gave Melia a code for the briefcase that opened a compartment with a Snag Machine in it, and told her to only use it if something bad happened. Once Melia and the player escaped Team Xen's attack, Melia quickly realized that since the Snag Machine only works on Shadow Pokemon, the only way he'd know to give her one is if he knew Team Xen A, had Shadow Pokemon, and B, would come after her, and thus he's part of Team Xen. In turn, Team Xen realizes that he's the only person who could have given Melia and the player a Snag Machine, and so he was going against his orders. In short, everyone's mad at him. |
| 39 | * TheMole: [[spoiler:He worked for the Storm Chasers as their spy in Team Xen.]] |
| 40 | * OffstageVillainy: While he was setting Melia up seemingly to be kidnapped and used by Team Xen, there's never been any indication he was abusive towards her besides that. Also, how and why he joined Team Xen has never been revealed. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that he was never really villainous, at least by the time the story starts, and intended (at least, as Erin interprets it) for Melia to follow her own path]]. |
| 41 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: [[spoiler:After his death, his spirit, in the form of an ethereal butterfly when spoken to on the overworld, can be challenged once a day for valuable items.]] |
| 42 | * PetTheDog: He knew that [[spoiler:both the Storm Chasers and Team Xen were intending to recruit Melia, and both were using him to do it, but instead of going with either team, he encouraged her to apply to join the Pokemon League with the intention of helping her forge her own path in life, though it didn't work.]] |
| 43 | * PutOnABus: [[spoiler:After the start of the game, just before you get the first badge, he's kidnapped by Crescent]]. |
| 44 | * SeriouslyScruffy: His hair grows out and becomes disheveled and grows stubble on his chin [[spoiler:While hiding out in Terajuma from Team Xen.]] |
| 45 | * SignatureMon: His Klinklang. [[spoiler:It gets thrown into the lava with him by Giratina and Geara]]. |
| 46 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: He went from being an eccentric non-conformist, who used to know Tesla and Kenneth, to a professor and member of Team Xen. |
| 47 | * YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: [[spoiler:The Storm Chasers planned to dispose of him after delivering Melia to Spacea and Tiempa.]] |
| 48 | * YoureNotMyFather: Melia initially thinks this about him after discovering he was supposed to hand her over to Team Xen. [[spoiler:She only gets to take it back just before he dies]]. |

| 53 | [[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sec.png]] |
| 54 | A machine that was created to serve Team Xen, who serves as a collective boss/pest. |
| 55 | ---- |
| 56 | * BodyBackupDrive: SEC states outright the first time you meet it that it has multiple bodies with SEC downloaded onto each of them. |
| 57 | * TheBusCameBack: Turns up in Chapter 15 as the guide for Group 1 in the School of Nightmares. |
| 58 | * DeadpanSnarker: Rather hilariously. |
| 59 | * HelpfulMook: Uses Shadow Pokemon in most of his fights, which you can catch, purify and then add to your team. |
| 60 | * RecurringBoss: While "boss" is a stretch, SEC has shown up multiple times throughout the game, and probably will do so in the future as well. |
| 61 | * SelfServingMemory: More "You-Deprecating" than "Self-Serving", but SEC tends to mock you with BlatantLies whenever you beat it. |
| 62 | * StuffBlowingUp: Blows itself up whenever you beat it. |
| 63 | |

| 68 | An "upgraded" SEC machine, and apparently SEC's wife, CLARA serves as a custodian of sorts for Madelis's base. |
| 69 | ---- |
| 70 | * HeelFaceTurn: In older versions, she helps you and Aelita destroy the generator/Rift Volcanion. CLARA's reasoning? |
| 71 | --> "I have come to the conclusion that I hate this place and everyone in it." |
| 72 | * NoodleIncident: In earlier versions, she makes it extremely clear that ''NO PARTIES WILL BE TOLERATED'' while you are in Madelis's base, before saying "not again..." |
| 73 | * {{Troll}}: As of 13.5, her personality was changed to be more like SEC, doing things like lying to you about how to shut down the Rift Volcanion for a laugh. |

| 80 | Two Xen mooks who show up repeatedly. |
| 81 | ---- |
| 82 | * DrivenToSuicide: Sharon, almost. She contemplates jumping off a cliff, only for Crescent to push her off. Saki saves her though. |
| 83 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Alongside Nastasia, they help the heroes in the endeavour to restore the Spring Of Rejuvenation.]] |
| 84 | * FunnyForeigner: Eli, whose grasp of English isn't the strongest, as seen every time he calls Sharon 'Shardon'. [[spoiler:When he shows up in Chapter 14, his English has gotten a lot better, and he starts using big words all the time.]] |
| 85 | * IneffectualSympatheticVillain: They're not remotely threatening and don't seem to be that invested in Team Xen's goals. They TakeALevelInBadass later, though. |
| 86 | * NoodleIncident: Eli somehow gets trapped in one of the tubes that appear to be used in the process for making Shadow Pokemon (or just keeping Pokemon in stasis) while still being aware of his surrounding. Sharon gets him out, but we never get an explanation for how or why this happened. |
| 87 | * PutOnABus: After Amber's party, they don't appear for a long stretch of time. |
| 88 | * RunningGag: Nobody ever gets Sharon's name right. |
| 89 | * SignatureMon: Honchkrow and Mismagius. |
| 90 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:They return after the Grand Dream Ball explosion to help with getting Melia, Alice and Allen to the Spring of Rejuvenation.]] |

| 98 | The first Admin of Team Xen you properly meet. He possesses the ability to create the Dimensional Rifts Team Xen use. |
| 99 | ---- |
| 100 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler: He- or at least a version of him- returns in Nightmare City as a minion of the Puppet Master. He later turns up in Chapter 15 as one of the guides in the School of Nightmares. Crescent gives him back to Melia at the end of .Karma Files.]] |
| 101 | * CessationOfExistence: [[spoiler: The original Zetta "dies" as a result of losing his humanity, and is narratively replaced with his dream self, a more heroic version of him who assists the Puppet Master. After the latter's defeat and the dissolution of the dream world that the Puppet Master sustains, Dream Zetta, Dream Risa, and Dream Sec all cease to exist along with the Puppet Master.]] |
| 102 | * ClimaxBoss: He and Geara engage you and Melia in a 12v12 battle on Mount Valor as the final confrontation with Team Xen on Terajuma. |
| 103 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: He's extremely thrown off and disturbed when [[spoiler: Geara flies off the handle on Valor Summit, accusing him of having gone way out of control.]] |
| 104 | * GoodAllAlong: [[spoiler:Indirectly implied by virtue of his dream self's personality. He's heavily based on the real Zetta and those around him's memories of him, a person who was shown to harbor doubts about Team Xen moments before his humanity was stripped away from him. While he wasn't free to indulge in his more playful side as a Team Xen admin very much, he fully embraces it as a dream construct, suggesting he'd of been a much more easy going person were circumstances different.]] |
| 105 | * HeelFaceDoorSlam: His dialogue during the fight against him on Valor Mountain implies that he's getting cold feet about being part of Team Xen. [[spoiler:Sadly, Crescent turns him back into a Solosis and captures him before he can do anything. His dream self encountered in the various Nightmare realms is a lot more civil and sympathetic.]] |
| 106 | * LossOfIdentity: [[spoiler:He effectively dies when Crescent returns him to his Solosis self, losing his sapience and identity in the process.]] |
| 107 | * LukeYouAreMyFather: [[spoiler: He was originally a Solosis before being injected with Melia's DNA, making him technically her brother - or son, depending on how you look at it.]] |
| 108 | * OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Normally he's something of a LargeHam, but when you find him in Amethyst Cave, he's got nothing but pure hatred towards you for causing Melia's [[spoiler:apparent]] death. [[spoiler:Since he's a clone of Melia, it makes sense that he'd be pretty shook up by the death of his "sister".]] |
| 109 | * PosthumousCharacter: [[spoiler:The Puppet Master employs a sort of dream clone of him that's comprised of the memories of people who knew him, including the protagonist. His dream self seems to be self aware and capable of recalling things from the real Zetta, but makes a point of distinguishing himself from the real thing.]] |
| 110 | * RealityWarper: It's stated that he's the only member of Team Xen that can create Dimensional Rifts. |
| 111 | * SignatureMon: Zepto, his shiny Type: Null, later a Silvally. [[spoiler:After the events of Valor Mountain, Ren [[HeartwarmingMoments adopts Zepto]] into his own party.]] |
| 112 | * StarterVillain: Is the first Xen Executive you fight, though it's [[DownplayedTrope downplayed]] in that he remains a major threat throughout much of the story, even acting as the ClimaxBoss of the Terajuma Arc alongside Geara. |
| 113 | * UpliftedAnimal: [[spoiler:Turns out he's a Solosis that was injected with Melia's DNA, giving him the power to take a human form and control Dimensional Rifts. Crescent undoes this at the end of Chapter 8.]] |

| 120 | One of the higher ranking members of Team Xen. Known for being exceptionally narcissistic and cruel. |
| 121 | ---- |
| 122 | * BadLiar: When Isha asks her how she sustained a bad wound, she lies that she fell on a knife. He doesn't buy it. |
| 123 | * CharacterDevelopment: After being forced to work for Cassandra, Madelis realises that Team Xen's actions are both morally wrong and incredibly dangerous, and tries to talk Cassandra out of going through with her plans. |
| 124 | * TheChewToy: After she's [[spoiler:demoted and made Cassandra's slave, Cassandra continually puts her through hell for no reason besides ForTheEvulz.]] |
| 125 | * {{Egopolis}}: Downplayed, but the last part of the base in Carotos Mountain is referred to as "Madelis's Palace", and is filled with statues of her. So the downplaying might just be that it's not a whole city, just a base... |
| 126 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:Helps Melia fight Amanda at Ignis Ironworks, during which you play as the former.]] |
| 127 | * ForTheEvulz: Tries to destroy Sheridan Village just because it's the home of the traitor Keta, and does so in a way guaranteed to cause as much harm to those involved as possible. [[spoiler:Later subverted - it's revealed that Team Xen's plans require people dying, for some yet-unrevealed reason]]. |
| 128 | * GirlishPigtails : Which emphasize her childish behavior. |
| 129 | * HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler:She pulled one in between Chapters 14 and 15, after visiting Franchesca and realizing that while she and Neved both joined Team Xen to help a loved one, they wound up doing horrible things that are not what those loved ones would want.]] |
| 130 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Is a huge fan of Tesla, so much that this completely derails her operation in Terajuma. She also has a sister, Lisbeth, who is associated with painful memories- later chapters imply that Lisbeth was ill and died some time ago. Lisbeth's name is one of the two she combined to create her own assumed name.]] |
| 131 | * HowTheMightyHaveFallen: [[spoiler:Is demoted by Madame X for the Amber fuckup and made Cassandra's bitch.]] |
| 132 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler: Realizes she was one of these as part of her HeelFaceTurn - she did horrible things, and told herself it was for the sake of the people she loved - but realized, in the end, that this isn't what her loved ones would want and everything she did has done nothing to save them]]. |
| 133 | * [[SignatureMove Signature Mon]]: Appears to be her Houndoom. |
| 134 | * TooDumbToLive: She's given one simple task during the Terajuma Arc: join Zetta and Geara and help them with their plan. Instead she goes with her own plan to abduct Amber so she can get to talk to Tesla (and she could have easily captured Melia, but chose not to). After being released from Kyogre she just vanishes, letting Zetta and Geara deal with the plan alone. Madame X is not pleased, especially since Madelis' fuckup directly leads to Team Xen losing Zetta and the Dimensional Rifts. |
| 135 | ** Also she goes to her meeting with [[spoiler: Cassandra, (who call her on this)]] in her Xen outfit, out in the open. How she wasn't arrested is anyone's guess. Granted, considering her relationship with Cassandra, for all we know, she ''wanted'' this to happen... |
| 136 | * UncertainDoom: [[spoiler:She was last seen in the Den of Souls when the angry ghosts attacked, but they didn't throw her off the bridge, Nim didn't save her and no trace of her was found afterwards. She doesn't appear in .Karma Files, and what happened to her is anyone's guess.]] |
| 137 | * WorthyOpponent: She compliments your efforts if you manage to defeat Shadow Mewtwo. |

| 141 | !!Geara/Gregory |
| 142 | [[quoteright:256:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vstrainer104_9.png]] |
| 143 | A Team Xen Executive who used to have a connection to Narcissa and Sirius. |
| 144 | ---- |
| 145 | * AndIMustScream: [[spoiler:You see LiterallyShatteredLives below? He's pretty clearly aware of what is happening to him, and he's not enjoying it one bit]]. |
| 146 | * BigWhat: [[spoiler:When Crescent turns Zetta back into a Solosis, he was pretty damn surprised. So was everyone else, though.]] |
| 147 | * TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:He's fully healed as of Chapter 15.]] |
| 148 | * ButtMonkey: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]] in that Geara is very much a serious threat whenever he turns up, but his arrogant attitude as well as the massive chip on his shoulder make him a minor source of humor whenever he loses. The other Xen Admins are also shown to get a kick out of poking fun at him. |
| 149 | * CreepyChild: According to Narcissa, [[spoiler:his step-mother, he always had a dark aura around him.]] |
| 150 | * DoNotCallMePaul: He throws an absolute shit-fit when Narcissa calls him Gregory. |
| 151 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:He was possessed by a fragment of Indriad’s spirit. Upon its departure, he realises that much of the hatred he felt for the player has disappeared.]] |
| 152 | * EvilOrphan: [[spoiler:You meet his father in one of Sashila Village's sidequests. He and his family were lost in the void after the Calamity that befell Aevium in the past. He was separated from them soon after birth only to be found by Vitus. Guess where most of his characteristics come from.]] |
| 153 | * HeadsIWinTailsYouLose: He set up the confrontation on Valor Mountain so that there was no way that the protagonists could get anything more than a PyrrhicVictory: [[spoiler:He had a bunch of Grunts posted as backup so that even if the player and Melia beat him, they couldn't get away, and he set up the structure holding Nim over the lava so that any attempt to get her down would result in the cable breaking and her falling into the lava.]] |
| 154 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler: He outright kills Professor Jenner, Nim, and even the player themself on Valor Summit-- though the latter two end up recovering just fine for reasons he couldn't have anticipated.]] |
| 155 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:He used to be Narcissa’s step-son and Sirius’ adoptive son and co-conspirator. Furthermore, he was actually born before Storm-9, and fell into the Voidal Chasm as an infant, only to be found by Vitus much later.]] |
| 156 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He refused to tolerate or listen to [[spoiler:Narcissa]] because she wasn't biologically related to him. However, he willingly worked with [[spoiler:Sirius/Vitus, who isn't related to him either.]] |
| 157 | * IrrationalHatred: [[spoiler:After being defeated in Axis Factory he mentions he lost all his rage and hatred after being pieced back together.]] This could explain why he was ''that'' much of a jerk before. |
| 158 | * {{Jerkass}}: Never passes up an opportunity to be an arrogant, hateful prick. Even his fellow Xen Admins have little tolerance for him. |
| 159 | * LiterallyShatteredLives: [[spoiler:What happened to him after Valor Mountain. The teleporter he built wasn't stable in the first place, and Crescent freeing the Abra that powered it didn't help. When Geara went through it, his body was corrupted and shattered into a thousand still-living pieces, which Nastasia has been painstakingly trying to gather and put back together.]] |
| 160 | * TheNapoleon: He's [[https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/356885052950315008/801143115964219412/unknown.png the shortest of the Xen Executives]] as well the biggest {{Jerkass}} in their group. |
| 161 | * OlympusMons: Owns a Giratina, [[spoiler:at least until Crescent frees it]]. |
| 162 | * SignatureMon: 2, actually. His Gengar and Clefable, both of which are shiny. |
| 163 | * SoulPower: Uses mainly Ghost-type Pokémon. |
| 164 | * YoureNotMyFather: In the Narcissa sidequest, it's revealed that [[spoiler:his adoptive father, Sirius/Vitus, married Narcissa, who tried to be a mother to him, but Gregory hated her and refused to listen to her because she wasn't biologically related to him.]] |

| 171 | The Team Xen Executive in charge of Blacksteeple Castle, acting as its warden. |
| 172 | ---- |
| 173 | * AffablyEvil: Unjustifiable EvilIsPetty tendencies aside, Neved is relatively cordial and polite to other people, moreso than any of the other Xen Admins. The between-chapters scenes at the Xen Headquarters show him interacting very humbly and amicably with them. |
| 174 | * TheBartender: In the lounge all the executives hang out in, he operates the bar and mostly keeps out of the antics of his fellow executives unless his input is called for. |
| 175 | * EvilIsPetty: Neved remorselessly tortured Aelita to get back at her father for some kind of wrongdoing in the past. Much later into the game, the player learns that [[spoiler: said wrongdoing was *being rude to him one time.* While Keta directly disparaged Neved's very personal reasons for working with Team Xen, Neved's actions towards Aelita go well beyond the point of DisproportionateRetribution.]] |
| 176 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Before joining Team Xen, he was a poor ferryman unable to pay for his daughter’s expensive medical bills.]] |
| 177 | * {{Hypocrite}}: As Aelita points out, it's pretty low of Neved to invoke his duties as a father as a justification for his actions when he tortured someone's daughter for reasons he wouldn't even explain to her. Melia later accuses him of this in Teila Resort after he tries to argue that she has an obligation to surrender to them to spare innocent lives from Team Xen, when Neved himself is actively working with the people threatening said lives. |
| 178 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: Whatever's the reason for his evildoings is, it's implied to be related to his daughter. [[spoiler:It's later revealed she's the child in the Hospital of Hope that Isha is taking care of.]] |
| 179 | * MoralityPet: He makes one out of Emma, noting that she reminds him of his daughter, and tries to keep her safe, even offering her a job as part of Team Xen. |
| 180 | * NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:Keta says to his face he's this, saying that what he's doing is for his sake - the sake of keeping his daughter alive - not necessarily what said daughter would want. This particular accusation is what started Neved's grudge against Keta (especially since he came to try offering Keta a friendly welcome).]] |
| 181 | * PutOnABus: After the heroes escape Blacksteeple Neved doesn't appear for a long while, at least in versions of the game before 13.5. From 13.5 on he's a constant presence through Terajuma. |
| 182 | * TheResenter: The extent to which this man will cling to a grudge is truly unbelievable-- he happily tortured a teenage girl for days on end to get back at her dead father, who wronged him in the past. After being betrayed by "Emma", he spends the entire Terajuma arc bitterly taking shots at Melia for it. |
| 183 | * SinsOfOurFathers: Invokes this on Aelita, saying he wanted to torture Keta, but Keta's dead, so Aelita has to take the torture instead. |
| 184 | * TechnicolorEyes: He has heterochromia, making one of his eyes blue and the other [[RedEyesTakeWarning red]]. |
| 185 | * WardensAreEvil: Being Blacksteeple Castle's warden and one of the bad guys, this is a given. |
| 186 | * WouldHurtAChild: Is cruel enough to electrocute Aelita. He even states that he's got nothing against her - but since her father Keta is dead, and he hated him, she will have to do. |

[[spoiler:In the backstory, it turns out that one of the defining moments that led to Team Bladestar forming was her leading the Team Xen invasion of the "City of Happiness" in the Badlands. Many of Bladestar's members apparently had family in said city.]] [[spoiler: "'''[[WouldBeRudeToSayGenocide Had]]'''".]] |
| 197 | * DeepCoverAgent: Ren, despite being told she was part of Team Xen by Nastasia, initally wasn't sure she was - apparently, her membership is so secret she's not even in the database of Team Xen members at their Headquarters. |
| 198 | * EvilChancellor: Controls Grand Dream City utterly, and has been putting a lot of her own measures into place. |
| 199 | * EvilIsPetty: She pushes Madelis over while the latter is playing waiter to humiliate her in front of a room full of Grand Dream City's rich and powerful. She also had the room decorated in Madelis' sister Lisbeth's favourite colours, just to hurt Madelis. |
| 200 | * HateSink: She has ''no'' redeeming features so far in the story, from what we've seen. |
| 201 | * INeverSaidItWasPoison: Accidentally slips up when the player meets her, pre-version 13.5 - she says that Florin and Flora found corruption in Darchlight Woods, when they never said exactly where they found the corruption. |
| 202 | * InsistentTerminology: She's an Admin, not an Executive. |
| 203 | * JerkAss: Aside from the whole 'part of Team Xen' thing, she's happy to let the areas outside of Grand Dream City succumb to the corruption because Grand Dream City won't suffer for it, and everyone living outside the city doesn't matter to her. |
| 204 | * RevengeBeforeReason: Madelis correctly deducts that Cassandra will do anything to get revenge. [[spoiler:Specifically, she wants to kill Tesla and Amber (it's not currently known why).]] |
| 205 | * {{Sadist}}: She ''really'' enjoys Madelis' demotion and being her new boss, especially the bit where Madelis is essentially under a death sentence if she does something Cassandra doesn't like, and shows it by forcing Madelis to smile for her. According to Madelis, they had a petty rivalry in the past, which may explain why Cassandra likes hurting her so much. |
| 206 | * SignatureMon: Her Mega Mawile. |
| 207 | * UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:She somehow survives the explosion at the Grand Dream Ball without as much as a scratch, despite the explosion being meant for her specifically.]] |

| 215 | The highest ranking Team Xen Executive and the one responsible for the attack on the S.S. Oceana. |
| 216 | ---- |
| 217 | * DeadpanSnarker: Her first appearance displays this when Geara is screaming over all their lost assets. |
| 218 | --> "There's no need to shout, Geara. We can all hear you." |
| 219 | * DidntSeeThatComing: [[spoiler:She was ''not'' expecting to find the Spring of Rejuvenation dry as a bone when she arrived in Eclysia. It's the only time in the story we see her losing her composure]]. |
| 220 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler:She, Eli, Sharon and some of her other grunts aid the heroes in restoring the Spring of Rejuvenation and in fighting Bladestar.]] |
| 221 | * EnigmaticMinion: Her reasons for joining Team Xen are unknown, and Madelis wonders why she trusts Madame X so much, as she appears to have nothing on the line. |
| 222 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: Some of her missions like [[spoiler: the S.S. Oceana and the Eclysia Pyramid]] are not authorized. |
| 223 | * HypercompetentSidekick: Downplayed. While Madame X is far from incompentent, Nastasia's easily the most dangerous of the four Xen Executives we see - the attack on the S.S. Oceana only didn't end with the player kidnapped because of Tesla, and when she gets involved on Terajuma Island, only Crescent pulling a BigDamnHeroes kept Team Xen from kidnapping them, Melia, and Crawli. [[spoiler:Also, the Eclysia Pyramid mission ended with a success for Team Xen, even if Delpha and Adam kept them from getting a clean sweep by keeping the Jewel of Life away from them for the time being - Alice, Allen, and Erin were all kept alive, and the Spring of Rejuvenation, which is right by their Headquarters, was made active again, and Nastasia - to her own surprise - learned the three in question might also have part of the Archetype in them]]. In short, when she does get involved, things tend to go well for Team Xen. |
| 224 | * IWillFindYou: [[spoiler:In the past, she did her best to find Maria after Gardevoir kidnapped her.]] |
| 225 | * MysteriousPast: Little is known about her past and motives, even by the other Xen admins. [[spoiler: She is eventually revealed to be Anastasia Bellarosa, Marianette’s best friend in the past. However, what caused her to change almost completely is still unknown.]] |
| 226 | * PaperThinDisguise: Her Xen admin pseudonym is just [[spoiler:her real name with the first letter removed. [[SarcasmMode That sure will fool them, Nastasia]]. To be fair, nearly everyone who ever knew her by that name, by the events of the main game, has likely not seen her in years due to her being TheRunaway. Or possibly died in Storm-9.]] |
| 227 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Her relationship with Ren (who she met as Anastasia) is a genuinely friendly one, to the point that she's apparently the person who made the artificial bodies he uses on missions. Even if, in true (hilarious) {{Tsundere}} fashion, she refuses to admit she cares about him at all]]. |
| 228 | ** [[spoiler:She took Venam from the Hospital of Hope and brought her to the Spring of Rejuvenation to see if the Spring could cure her and the other victims of being turned to stone. The thing is, nobody asked her to and nobody from Team Xen was turned to stone, so it seems that Nastasia was just being nice.]] |
| 229 | * TheRunaway: [[spoiler:From her EducationMama when she was younger.]] |
| 230 | * TooDesperateToBePicky: [[spoiler:When Adrest hijacks the player to tell her, Aelita, and Ren about how the Spring of Rejuvenation you need to save Melia (actually Erin), Alice, and Allen can be reactivated via the Jewel of Life, Ren is initially uncertain whether or not to believe him, but he's overruled by Nastasia, who says flat-out they have no other ideas for how to reactivate the Spring, so they're going to find the Jewel of Life]]. |
| 231 | * TheUnfought: So far, she is the only Team Xen executive who hasn't fought the player. |
| 232 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:While she was shy and introverted, young Anastasia was kind natured. As an adult, she is cruel, cold and unfeeling, only losing control of her emotions when her past (especially Maria) is mentioned. Or when she's interacting with Ren, who arguably counts as her OnlyFriend]]. |

| 239 | The enigmatic and tyrannical leader of Team Xen. [[spoiler:She seems to have known Indriad and Maria.]] |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * AsskickingLeadsToLeadership: She's the leader of Team Xen, and for a good reason. She also says that she's stronger than all her Pokémon, if somehow you beat her Yveltal at Blacksteeple Castle. |
| 242 | * BigBad: She is the leader of Team Xen, and the main driving force behind the story's conflict. |
| 243 | * CoolSword |
| 244 | * EnemyMine: [[spoiler: She helps you save Kugearen City from what technically is a bomb, because apparently you're important to everything. She's also forced to help you and Melia in the doomed timeline, because it's the only chance you all have of getting back to your own timeline.]] |
| 245 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: She shows up during the Prologue and is disgusted with how Marianette is treated. |
| 246 | * TheFaceless: She's got a mask on her face, and there's no clue who she might be under it. We don't even know for sure if she's human. [[spoiler:If Sakitron defeats Amanda, she shows up on the Pyramid and breaks half of Madame X's mask revealing her black hair and red eyes.]] |
| 247 | * HeroKiller: She murders Nancy when she's trying to pull a WhyDontYouJustShootHim on the player, [[spoiler:and given the appearances of Yveltal in Where Love Lies, it's very possible that she murdered Kenneth mother, was trying to threaten him into murdering Taelia, and may have been behind the deaths of Taelia and Nora. She also tried to kill Celine twice; the first time she maimed her, and the second nearly killed her.]] |
| 248 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: There's no clear clue as to just ''what'' she's after. [[spoiler:It apparently has something to do with stealing Melia's powers, but so far that's the only knowledge we have.]] |
| 249 | * HopelessBossFight: When you fight her she uses a Lv. 75 ''[[OlympusMons Yveltal]]'' with a ArmorPiercingAttack, when your Badge cap is 40. Subverted somewhat, as on most difficulty modes it's not only possible, but fairly straightforward to win. Still, anyone who doesn't know about and prepare for the battle ahead of time ''is'' going to lose. |
| 250 | * IControlMyMinionsThrough: A combination of power, authority and fear. Madame X is extremely powerful, supposedly even more so than all of her Pokemon combined, (one of them is a [[OlympusMons Yveltal]]) and her subordinates are terrified of her. But what truly solidifies her position is [[spoiler:[[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness her termination of those who fail her.]]]] |
| 251 | * InvincibleVillain: If the HopelessBossFight mentioned above wasn't enough of a clue, she's got [[spoiler:TimeMaster powers thanks to the Time Diamond, has a lot of knowledge that you don't about what is going on, and judging by a side quest where you help a Team Xen grunt find his mother's grave, and how he starts to fade from existence shortly after you do that, it's implied she has some sort of long-range YouHaveFailedMe power. The closest anyone has ever come to getting the better of her is Melanie teleporting her faraway with her Porygon]]. |
| 252 | ** [[spoiler:Zigzagged later on - at the top of the Pyramid, she can be hit and hurt by Sakitron if she won the fight with Amanda. And while she doesn't fight you directly there, she comes close to taking the Jewel of Life (and possibly can), only for Adam and Delpha to potentially stop her partner, the red-haired woman, after she leaves]]. |
| 253 | * KnightOfCerebus: Things get ''serious'' whenever she is around. |
| 254 | * LackOfEmpathy: The only time that we see her show positive emotion towards others is in the Prologue. After that, pretty much all of her appearances are about having her KickTheDog. |
| 255 | * NeverASelfMadeWoman: If you somehow beat her, she talks about failing her father. |
| 256 | * PetTheDog: In the prologue she tells Marianette to never give up hope and seems sympathetic to what’s happening to her. |
| 257 | * RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: She notably shares this color scheme with her Yveltal, as well as [[spoiler: Vitus, who is later revealed to be the host of Yveltal, further showing their connection.]] |
| 258 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes on her mask. [[spoiler:Her real eyes are red too.]] |
| 259 | * TimeMaster: [[spoiler:She carries a stone known as the Time Diamond, which grants its wielder this. This explains why she has shown up out of nowhere at several points, including when you travel to the past]]. |
| 260 | * TrappedInVillainy: While she herself is not this, she's the enforcer of this for Team Xen - see YouHaveFailedMe below. |
| 261 | * VillainRespect: While she's utterly lacking in compassion or empathy, she does consistently show respect for resolve, such as when she meets the player in Blacksteeple and later on when Neved insists that Madelis be spared. |
| 262 | * WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Neved mentions [[DontCreateAMartyr another "hero" would just pop up]] should this append. She does try to do this to you after [[spoiler: the Blacksteeple rebellion, and murders a lot of Pirate Valarie's crew in the BadFuture alternate timeline]]. |
| 263 | * YouHaveFailedMe: [[spoiler:There's a side quest where you help a Team Xen grunt find his mother's grave, and he "vanishes" shortly after you find it. So she's apparently]] ''[[spoiler:got the ability to do this at long range.]]'' |

| 272 | * BewareTheSillyOnes: You'd be forgiven for assuming they're another set of gag villains, as their grunts and at least one of their executives are largely goofballs compared to Xen's somewhat more professional front, (heck even ''Team Anti-Assist'' grunts are more serious), but their crimes include [[spoiler:attempting to bomb and/or vaporize much of Grand Dream City]], establishing them as just as much a threat as their rival. |
| 273 | * TheEighties: Their visual style, team name, and base aesthetic looks and sound like something out of an 80s sci-fi or cyberpunk film. Their bases even use a very 80s-esque synthwave remix of the Regi's battle theme. |
| 274 | * EvilVsEvil: Team Xen and Team Bladestar are opposed to one another, to the point that a Bladestar affliated town has training dummies dressed up in Xen uniforms for its trainers to practice on. [[spoiler:Alamissa Urben - or rather, what's ''left'' of it - are the main reason why]]. |
| 275 | * VillainousLegacy: Flora's and Florin's father, William Grevillea, was the original founder of Team Bladestar. Though it seems the team is far more extreme in the present day under Flora than it was under him, at least. |

| 282 | Grand Dream City's Grass-type Gym Leader, and Florin's sister. |
| 283 | ---- |
| 284 | * AbusiveParents: Flora's father recruited her to become his successor, and based on the mental states of his two children, it's implied that the way he raised them was pretty damaging and toxic, even if he didn't overtly abuse them. |
| 285 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:She blows up a building filled with innocent people as well as her own grunts, losing the support of most of her followers in the process, just to kill Cassandra and the Grand Dream City elite. In the end it turns out those sacrifices were for nothing as Cassandra survived the blast without as much as a scratch, her grunts were arrested and Florin escaped her custody and had her arrested too.]] |
| 286 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: [[spoiler:Zigzagged. While her niceness is a total facade, she has good intentions in getting rid of the corrupt parts of Grand Dream City's government, (and the current mayor, Cassandra, is a member of Team Xen and plays this trope totally straight)]]. |
| 287 | * BreakTheHaughty: [[spoiler:Chapter 14 is just one long instance of this trope after another for her.]] |
| 288 | * DoNotAdjustYourSet: [[spoiler:Does this after the player's fight with Adam, pulling a mass declaration to Grand Dream City - and Cassandra - that she is going to be ripping the corrupt government apart, and declaring herself as the head of Bladestar]]. |
| 289 | * EarlyBirdCameo: Can be seen in two places at the start of the game; leaving Gearen Lab with Dr. Jenkel and in his lab for a few seconds when you first arrive there. [[spoiler:In the second case, she is dressed in her Bladestar uniform.]] |
| 290 | * FailedASpotCheck: [[spoiler: She completely fails to see the player hiding in Darchlight Woods when she reveals herself as a Bladestar admin.]] |
| 291 | * FromNobodyToNightmare: She started out as a shy, meek graduate of Axis High University. That didn't last... |
| 292 | * GreenThumb: As the Grass-type Leader. |
| 293 | * HeWhoFightsMonsters: Flora had genuinely good intentions in [[spoiler:taking over Bladestar and trying to rid Grand Dream City of corruption, but blowing up a ton of people shows how low she's sunk.]] |
| 294 | * {{Jerkass}}: She's extremely unpleasant and has a very short temper, making her rather unlikeable even before she's explicitly shown to lead Bladestar. |
| 295 | * MeaningfulName: Flora was the Roman goddess of flowers. Furthermore, Grevillea is a genus of flowering plants. |
| 296 | * TheMole: [[spoiler: She's the current leader of Bladestar. However, she claims that her only goal is to get rid of Grand Dream City's corrupt government.]] |
| 297 | * OffscreenMomentOfAwesome: [[spoiler: She snuck into Team Xen's HQ in order to steal Rift Matter.]] |
| 298 | * OnlyFriend: To Rune. [[spoiler:Until she revealed she was the leader of Bladestar to Rune, and had to blackmail her so that she wouldn't tell the truth after Rune didn't want to join. Though even then, it doesn't seem like she was the one who made Rune disappear...]] |
| 299 | * PetTheDog: [[spoiler:According to her journal, she went out of her way to make a PULSE machine that wouldn't hurt her Ferrothorn, and intended to come back for it when it was needed to fight Cassandra (also, unlike all the other Rift or PULSE pokemon, it didn't die after it was beaten)]]. |
| 300 | * PeoplePuppets: [[spoiler:After being controlled by the magical root in Tyluric Temple, she steals it and jury rigs it into a device that allows her to control the body of Ryland. He's still fully conscious and aware while this is happening, and it's clear he is NOT having a good time.]] |
| 301 | * SheWhoFightsMonsters: [[spoiler:She cut the train tracks to Grand Dream City even though a train crash could have killed dozens of people if it hadn't been for Alexandra, blew up the Grand Dream Ball in an attempt to kill Cassandra, and threatens to poison Ryland remotely if you don't give her the Jewel of Life. She may have started out with good intentions, but she's sunk to the same depths as Madame X and Cassandra in her attempts to stop them]]. |
| 302 | * SiblingYinYang: Florin and Flora are very different people, [[spoiler:probably because of the disparate ways their father is implied to have treated them.]] |
| 303 | * SignatureMon: Her shiny Mega Venusaur. |
| 304 | * SignatureMove: Uproot, a move that can lower special defense which she shares with Florin. |
| 305 | * TheSnarkKnight: Later versions downgraded her acerbicness so that while she's still a grumpy bitch, she's shown being a lot nicer than before, and does try to help out people. |
| 306 | * StoneWall: In contrast to her brother, her team is very defense-oriented. |
| 307 | * SurroundedByIdiots: [[spoiler:She's not that impressed by the average IQ of her Bladestar grunts.]] |
| 308 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:While she's not wrong that Grand Dream City's government has many corrupt officials, her methods for fixing it are extremely questionable at best. Among other things, Bladestar has tried to kidnap the android Ana, and as the team's leader, she was probably the one who ordered the train lines cut and bridges destroyed, so nobody else could go to Grand Dream City (the former of which would have made the train you were on crash and likely have killed a lot of people if it wasn't for Alexandra stopping it in time). And then there's the bit where she blows up the Grand Dream Ball, with Cassandra and the rest of Grand Dream City's rich and powerful inside (and a number of her grunts she willingly sacrificed to plant the explosives). And then there's what she did to poor Ryland after he left Bladestar...]] |
| 309 | * WrenchWench: [[spoiler: She built a replica PULSE machine that wasn't quite as pain-inducing and "parasitic" as the originals, and stole Rift Matter so she could power up her Ferrothorn. She was also able to jury-rig the magical root from Tyluric Temple into a device that would allow her to control other people's bodies.]] |

| 316 | * AffablyEvil: He's a maniacal scientist and helps run a terrorist organization, but he's also... pretty friendly. |
| 317 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: To ZEL in Pokemon Reborn (specifically EVE). The PULSE+ machine that he made is completely harmless when used on a Pokemon, in contrast to the PULSE machines of Pokemon Reborn. After you fight him, the Musharna he was using it on is not only unharmed, but is genuinely upset with you! Though it's later revealed that Musharna is having issues, every other case of a PULSE machine being used before this led to the death of the Pokemon it was used on. |

| 329 | * AloofAlly: They fund the Underground, but aren't actually part of Bladestar, just an affiliate. Why they won't join the team is unknown. |
| 330 | * AmbiguousGender: A bit of an odd case - they were assumed to be female prior to 13.5, and most characters use gender neutral pronouns to refer to them after it. When an old fortune teller calls them a little lady they object and say they're no lady, and during the introduction to the Colosseum tournament, they say that they're neither a man nor a woman, so it can be assumed that they're AFAB non-binary. WordOfGod states that they're genderfluid. |
| 331 | * AntiVillain: [[spoiler:They want the Nano Drive to help their homeland, never actually hurt the children they abducted and set up the Colosseum fight to blackmail the kind of sick fucks who'd watch children battle to the death.]] |
| 332 | * TheGhost: Doesn't really do much of anything, they only appear in a side quest involving Ana. Averted hard in 13.5, where they're given a much more prominent role in the quest. |
| 333 | * GratuitousSpanish: Peppers their dialogue with Spanish phrases and words. Sometimes entire sentences will pass without a bit of English out their mouth. |
| 334 | * MalevolentMaskedMan: They wear an elaborate mask to hide their face, and while it's not known just why they want Ana so badly, whatever it is almost certainly can't be good given their affliation with Team Bladestar. [[spoiler:This, however, turns out to be a bit of a misdirection - their intentions ultimately are good, even if their methods are unscrupulous.]] |
| 335 | * MysteriousPast: According to a scientist in the Underground's main building, they suddenly appeared one day and nobody knows where they came from. [[spoiler:The Missing Children quest reveals that they come from a homeland that's suffering from some kind of peril and they need the Nano Drive to save it. Their grandmother warned them about the player specifically, as well. They also reveal that they're an Interceptor as well, but they never made a contract with Variya, and they're fully aware that the player consists of multiple souls in one body.]] |
| 336 | * OptionalBoss: [[spoiler:If you avoid harming any of the children while in the Underground Colossesum and demand that they give Ana back, you'll battle them and their Ruthless Iron Moth, the only Generation IX Pokémon presently in the game. This is a particularly rough battle given it comes after two rounds with Ana overwhelmed by the Nano Drive and no opportunity to heal in between, and winning does nothing but earn some cash and Valencia's respect. They escape with the Nano Drive regardless.]] |
| 337 | * PoorCommunicationKills: [[spoiler:A whole lot of the Missing Children quest could have been averted if they'd just explained their plans to Dylan instead of thinking that he would and should just trust them blindly despite how bad their actions looked.]] |
| 338 | * SurroundedByIdiots: They're ''really'' not impressed with Bladestar's constant failures, not that you can blame them. |
| 339 | * WouldHarmAChild: [[spoiler:Ultimately subverted. They're revealed to be the one behind the missing children, and were using them in the hopes of activating the Nano Drive. While they put on a show for a seemingly anonymous audience in which said children are forced to battle to the death, in truth, the erased kids were just projections being displayed and the real children are perfectly fine, and in fact all sent home, given they were of no use to V any more. They reveal that whoever tuned in to watch children fight to the death would all be blackmailed into paying for V's silence concerning the audience members' part of the faux depravity for years to come, and that they'd forward the money to the families of the the children they abducted as a form of apology.]] |

| 367 | Leader of the cult you deal with in Chrysalis Manor and Maria's father. Also Anathea's, Narcissa’s, [[spoiler:and implied to have been Nymiera's]] husband. |
| 368 | ---- |
| 369 | * AbusiveParents: He was not a good father to Marianette, and he doesn't seem to have treated [[spoiler:Gregory/Geara]] much better in comparison. He was also pretty bad to [[spoiler:Eriena, Allen and Alice,]]and he was the one responsible for [[spoiler:Kanon's trauma which caused him to repress his personality and only do what was ordered of him.]] Basically, if he's any kind of father figure in someone's life, he's generally not treating them well. However, he was kind to Maria and tried to intervene with Katsu on behalf of Anastasia - before Anathea was killed, at least. |
| 370 | * AmbiguouslyHuman: [[spoiler: .Karma Files reveals that he's an executable file that gained a corporeal form, like Nymiera and an unknown third. Specifically, he's merged with Yveltal.]] |
| 371 | * AmbiguousSituation: [[spoiler:He and Sirius (Narcissa’s deceased husband) were actually the same person, but since he is known to have survived apparent deaths before, it is unknown if he truly died in the Wispy Tower fire. And if he didn't die, what he's up to in the present game has yet to be revealed- though a hidden scene shows that he fused with Anju to become Angie.]] |
| 372 | * {{Archenemy}}: Was this to [[spoiler:the Protectors of Aevium, and especially Nymiera.]] |
| 373 | * BizarreAlienReproduction: [[spoiler: In Chapter 15, it is mentioned he had to use the Archetype's power to have children with Anathea, as he can't have children naturally, being a computer program and all.]] |
| 374 | * ExactWords: He promises Marianette that if she and the player can pass his trials, he'll let the five of them (the player, Marianette, Venam, Luca and Lenny) leave. However, he never said he meant "leave the estate", what ''he'' meant was [[spoiler:"leave this plane of existence"- that is, he intended to sacrifice them all.]] |
| 375 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler:After finally [[HeelFaceTurn renouncing his evil ways]] and having a family, Anathea’s death makes him return to the cult.]] |
| 376 | * HatedByAll: The only person he's ever shown any real mutual affection towards was his wife Anathea [[spoiler:and after she died, even she has given up on him. Also, it turned out that the only reason he was kind to her was because he was under a spell at the time.]] Besides the maids who work for him, not a single person in the game has spared a nice word for him. |
| 377 | * IHaveManyNames: Alternates between being called Indriad and Vitus, the former being his name while in the cult and the latter being his name before that. [[spoiler:He actually has a third alias, Sirius, which he used while being married to Narcissa and running the Radio Tower in Goldenleaf Town, and after fusing with Anju, he's using the name Angie.]] |
| 378 | * LoveMakesYouEvil: [[spoiler:He didn't take the death of his wife Anathea lightly. Turns out there's a good reason for that, namely that he was under a spell that made him kind and loving... until she died.]] |
| 379 | * MoralityChain: [[spoiler:Anathea made him promise to leave the cult and settle down with her. Vitus made the promise and kept to it, but after Anathea was killed, he returned to the cult about ten minutes later.]] |
| 380 | * NobleDemon: Gives you a fair fighting chance to escape from Chrysalis Manor with Venam and her friends due to being in a "forgiving mood". He also planned on sacrificing the four of you, and his own daughter as well, when you win the Gym battle with Maria. |
| 381 | * ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Was this to Gregory/Geara, but their relationship was far from affectionate.]] |
| 382 | * VillainHasAPoint: Yes, intending to sacrifice a bunch of children was both overkill and a dick move, but he was right when he pointed out that the player, Venam, Luca and Lenny broke into his home and refused to leave. |
| 383 | * WeUsedToBeFriends: He and Nymiera were on good terms once, but no longer. |
| 384 | [[/folder]] |

| 386 | [[folder:Gardevoir]] |
| 387 | !!Gardevoir |
| 388 | A differently-colored Gardevoir who lives with [[spoiler:Maria, Vitus/Indriad, and Anathea Theolia. She orchestrates Anathea's death to get Vitus to return to the cult.]] |
| 389 | ---- |
| 390 | * AnArmAndALeg: Over the course of her fight in Chapter 13, she's reduced to first a torso, then to just a head. |
| 391 | * {{Curse}}: [[spoiler: She's cursed by the shiny Mimikyu when she tries to kill Vivian, Cella, Anju, you, Aelita, and Melia.]] |
| 392 | * DisneyVillainDeath: [[spoiler:Dies by her head falling into a pit of spikes, [[DrivenToSuicide on purpose]].]] |
| 393 | * DrivenToSuicide: [[spoiler:[[WeUsedToBeFriends Indriad]] dumping her was the last straw, and [[HeelRealization she already realized her wrongs]] and that [[ThisIsUnforgivable it's too late for her to be redeemed]]. Instead of coming out as TheAtoner, she decides to put an end to herself by teleporting herself above the sanctuary's spikes to impale herself]]. |
| 394 | * EvilCounterpart: To Gossip Gardevoir from VideoGame/PokemonReborn, as they are both Gardevoir that can communicate with humans through telepathy, live with humans, are exceedingly powerful battlers, and practically worship the men they fight for; however, while Gossip Gardevoir is flirty and [[GenkiGirl lively]] but generally harmless, Rejuvenation's Gardevoir is cold, cruel, malicious, and [[ManipulativeBastard manipulative]]. [[spoiler: The parallels only increase as the game continues; while Gossip Gardevoir can mega evolve with Randomus’ help, Indriad’s Gardevoir can become a dimensional rift.]] |
| 395 | * GreaterScopeVillain: She is responsible for [[spoiler:Vitus/Indriad returning to the cult.]] |
| 396 | * HeroKiller: [[spoiler:Oneshots Kanon's Salamence, and then seemingly kills him (he's revived, but Salamance is not), and also ruins the effects of Vivian's ritual, meaning that while she prevented the BadFuture from taking place, Storm-9 still happened]]. |
| 397 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler:Before being found by Indriad, she worked in a circus in the Miera Region.]] |
| 398 | * JerkAss: Even before she [[spoiler:tricks the corrupt cops into killing Anathea]], she's shown to be very controlling of Maria's family. |
| 399 | * ManipulativeBitch: [[spoiler:She bribes corrupt cops to destroy Vitus' house, killing Anathea and forcing him back into the cult, just because she believed she was holding him back.]] |
| 400 | * TalkingAnimal: [[DownplayedTrope Downplayed]], as she talks through telepathy. |
| 401 | * RedemptionEqualsDeath: [[spoiler:Dies just after realising Indriad never loved her and succumbing to her Rift, reverting back to normal and considering herself a terrible being.]] |
| 402 | * SkippableBoss: [[spoiler:On a NewGamePlus run, if you answered Dream Zetta's questions properly and received the Puppet Dubloon, you can have Ren look at it before confronting Gardevoir in Chapter 13, which will make something - the game is intentionally vague on what - resembling the Puppet Master at their strongest appear, defeat Gardevoir, and engage the player character and Ren instead.]] |
| 403 | * StartOfDarkness: In the middle of the final battle, she reveals her backstory. [[spoiler:She used to be FunPersonified for her town's people, until it became a thing of the past and she needed to go. She was abandoned as a result and grew even lonelier and more hurt, and Indriad promised to take care of her, persuading her with the promise of making her never lonely again.]] |
| 404 | * TragicMonster: [[spoiler:Used to be a normal Ralts who was abandoned by her trainer and found by Vitus, who extolled her great potential and corrupted her with dark magic, turning her into what she is now. After fighting to the brink of death as a Dimensional Rift, she tries to avenge him as her last act. However, before she can do so, he reveals he never loved her.]] |
| 405 | * UndyingLoyalty: [[spoiler:Played with ''very'' darkly, as she serves Vitus/Indriad, and arranged for his wife to die because she believed Anathea was holding him back.]] |
| 406 | * WalkingSpoiler: Is the only major character in Maria's family who doesn't appear in the intro, and she has a major role in one of the villain's StartOfDarkness. |

| 409 | [[folder:Indriad's Servants]] |
| 410 | Servants made by Indriad/Sirius/Vitus Theolia, to aid him in his goals. |
| 411 | ---- |
| 412 | * ServantRace: A downplayed example of the trope - the Servants made by Indriad tend to not show as much individuality as Angie's do, but they still develop individuality if they survive long enough. [[spoiler:Unless, as Kanon discovered in the past at Indriad's hands, they're subjected to regular torment to enforce the ServantRace mentality]]. |
| 413 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Averted. Servants ''start'' as a ServantRace, but they as a rule tend to develop individuality - if they survive long enough. |
| 414 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Lia - the Servant you fight in Kugearen City who was sent by Gardevoir to blow it up - was initially going to report back to Gardevoir and Indriad/Vitus about what happened. Up until Venam pointed out this would likely happen if she did, which led to her... reconsidering her plans, and deciding to move far away and become a baker instead. [[spoiler: It works out quite well for her, as we see in Version 13.5 - she's alive and well post Storm-9, got married, and had two kids]]. |

| 422 | [[caption-width-right:256:[[labelnote:Click here to see [[spoiler: Anju.]]https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/anju_9.png[[/labelnote]]]]]] |
| 423 | Kristiline Town's Ice-type Gym Leader. Technically. |
| 424 | ---- |
| 425 | * AnIcePerson: As well as wielding Ice-types, she can also generate Nevermeltice to freeze people, or fight. |
| 426 | * ArchEnemy: Anju considered Indriad/Vitus the personification of evil. |
| 427 | * AwfulTruth: Apparently, getting hit by Cold Truth does this to you - you're shown a truth you've been repressing, or curious about, whether you want to see it or not. At some point, she taught Cera how to use it. |
| 428 | * BecameTheirOwnAntithesis: [[spoiler:While she was a fervent believer in Arceus as Anju, she made sure to never impose her beliefs on anyone. As Angie, not so much...]] |
| 429 | * {{Brainwashed}}: Does this to [[spoiler:Venam]] and tries to do it to [[spoiler:Melia]] as well. [[spoiler:And given how Anju was found in the back of Indriad's mansion before you fight Marianette for her badge, it's possible she was subjected to this herself]]. |
| 430 | * ClimaxBoss: After being set up as a major threat for the entirety of the Terajuma Arc, Angie serves as the last major obstacle before the confrontation with Team Xen on Valor Mountain, guarding the final relic needed to access the mountain, and is easily the most powerful enemy the main characters have faced up until that point. |
| 431 | * CorruptChurch: She's so far the only Gym Leader that is clearly evil [[spoiler:until Flora jumps past the MoralEventHorizon]], and is quite clearly religious, so she's in charge of one. |
| 432 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:As a child, she froze her parents in ice in a fit of rage after hearing that they intended to divorce. She wound up freezing her Lillipup as well because she didn't want the things that made her happy to leave her.]] |
| 433 | * DemonicPossession: [[spoiler: Chapter 15 reveals that Indriad is somehow corrupting her, after she's defeated by Erin.]] |
| 434 | * DisproportionateRetribution: She wanted to freeze the local Help Center because she thinks that everyone should help themselves first before helping each other. |
| 435 | * EnfantTerrible: 10 year old Anju [[spoiler:may have frozen her parents by accident, but she very quickly decided that it was actually a good thing because that way she could stop them from leaving her. It's implied that freezing her Lillipup was not an accident. In addition, Nymiera reveals that Anju gained the ability to melt her ice quite quickly, but never defrosted her parents.]] |
| 436 | * FaceHeelTurn: [[spoiler: Went from the kindhearted, helpful Anju to the evil Angie, and so far it's not known why, but the implication is that she's currently BrainwashedAndCrazy by Vitus.]] |
| 437 | * GoodShepherd: [[spoiler:Used to be this while she was Anju, viewing it as not her responsibility to try and force people to "see the light", and serving as one of the Protectors of Aevium]]. |
| 438 | * HarmlessFreezing: Getting frozen in her Never-Melt Ice seems to have no long-term effects on the people or pokemon it turns to HumanPopsicle status, no matter how long they're frozen. Getting ''stabbed'' by it, however... is a different story. |
| 439 | ** [[spoiler:It's revealed in Chapter 15 that she plans to do this to the ''entire planet''.]] |
| 440 | * HiddenDepths: [[spoiler: She has some involvement with Indriad (and might be related to him), and is Anju, transformed. As Anju, she was one of the Protectors of Aevium. Also, she apparently had a son while she was Anju. In Chapter 15 it is revealed her son is Kreiss, though neither of them currently seem to know.]] |
| 441 | * HumanPopsicle: She has the power to freeze people solid, as Crawli's Pokémon Rangers found out the hard way... [[spoiler:She gets frozen in Nevermeltice herself by Kreiss after the protagonist defeats her. Unfortunately for us, she's freed by Cera later on. She also once created a magic sphere that could do this and gave it to Cella so that she could protect herself and Taelia when Storm-9 hit, while she was still Anju.]] |
| 442 | * MonsAsCharacterization: Angie is an elegant-looking woman who uses Ice-type Pokemon, so one would likely associate her with graceful Ice-types like Froslass or Glaceon. Instead, however, Angie's team consists almost entirely of bulky, "crude" bruisers like Arctovish, Crabominable, and [[SignatureMon Walrein]]. But this is arguably more fitting for her character, since Angie actually isn't ladylike at all-- she's a violent brute who uses her ice magic to freeze anyone who gets in her way, and flies into a murderous rampage whenever she loses. |
| 443 | * RealityWarper: Apparently, her mere presence turned Kristiline Town from a summer paradise into a town infested with ice. |
| 444 | * SanitySlippage: She starts out as merely off-balance, and then rapidly goes completely nuts afterwards. |
| 445 | * SignatureMon: Her Walrein [[spoiler: and Regice, if her resurrection scene and her time as Anju is anything to go by.]] |
| 446 | * SlasherSmile: Practically every sprite and piece of art Angie has shows her giving one. [[spoiler: As Anju, her smile and overall personality were much warmer.]] |
| 447 | * VillainousBreakdown: Loses it big time when [[spoiler:Melia resists her attempt to mind-control her]]. |
| 448 | * YouHaveFailedMe: Does this to both pairs of maids that she sends against you once you defeat them, proving her evil beyond all reasonable doubt (as if her treatment of [[spoiler:Venam and Melia]], not to mention Crawli's Pokemon Rangers, didn't do this already). [[spoiler:It's later revealed that said maids are likely Garufan spells, but still...]] |

| 455 | ---- |
| 456 | * TheCameo: Makes one in Grand Dream City, [[spoiler:saying that she will see the player again soon.]] |
| 457 | * TheDragon: Is this to Angie, [[spoiler:remaining loyal to her even after she is frozen.]] Angie, at some point, even taught her how to use Cold Truth. |
| 458 | * OlympusMons: [[spoiler:Manages to capture the Groudon in the Garufan chamber.]] |
| 459 | * SanitySlippage: Goes through this in her efforts to [[spoiler:resurrect her master]]. |
| 460 | * UndyingLoyalty: To Angie, who she refers to as ‘Lady’ and ‘Master’. [[spoiler:After Angie is defeated, she leads the effort to revive her. .Karma Files reveals that this is because Cera is a Servant- she was literally created to serve Angie.]] |

| 464 | [[folder:Angie's Servants]] |
| 465 | Servants who - well, serve, Angie. |
| 466 | ---- |
| 467 | * ObliviouslyEvil: Angie's Servants, on average, aren't really cruel - they just don't seem to realize that what Angie's doing is evil. More than a few of them, though, are malevolent, albeit not as much as Angie. |
| 468 | * PerkyFemaleMinion: More than a few of them are this, especially Patty. |
| 469 | * PunchClockVillain: Many of Angie's servants aren't particularly ''evil'' - they just work for Angie. [[spoiler:It's later revealed they're all literally made to serve her, and that - well, it's hard for them to consider betraying her, as a result]]. Several of the Servants stayed in Kristiline Town after Angie was frozen solid, and got along quite well with the locals. |
| 470 | * ServantRace: [[spoiler:Played with. While Kanon says they are this, and Angie did in fact create them to serve her, it's made very clear that the Servants are all their own people, despite what Angie - and Kanon - both say]]. |
| 471 | * TurnedAgainstTheirMasters: A group of them in Anju's ship have become 'Aberrations', Servants that have changed from what their creators intended them to be. Bonita and the others in Anju's ship [[spoiler:intend to kill Angie with poison, but Kanon stops them.]] |
| 472 | * VileVillainLaughableLackey: Angie is, [[spoiler:after ''whatever'' happened to her]], a KnightOfCerebus, and tends to kill the humor in scenes she's in, and a FisherKing capable of altering the weather on an island-wide level. Her Servants (save Cera) are mostly ObliviouslyEvil or a PunchClockVillain at worst, and will happily chat away with the player, take time off to listen to music, take up making pipe bombs as a hobby, or pile on top of each other's shoulders to get at a slice of cake placed on top of a bookshelf. |
| 473 | * WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Averted. Servants ''start'' as a ServantRace, but they as a rule tend to develop individuality if they survive long enough. |

| 480 | A group who wants to shut down the Help Centers, to get people to stop helping other people. Never a serious threat, but they can be very annoying and persistent. |
| 481 | ---- |
| 482 | * GoldfishPoopGang: Downplayed, as of 13.5. Team Xen and Bladestar are both major threats to the stability of Aevium, maybe the world itself in Xen's case. These guys? They're - well, somewhat dangerous, but nowhere near as much as the other two. |
| 483 | * {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:When they reappear at Castle Zygara]], the reason they're there... is because they're helping somebody to get paid a lot of money. Familiar? Yeah, they don't seem to be aware of the comparisons. |
| 484 | * TheSocialDarwinist: They want to force everyone to fend for themselves, so that those who can't make it alone will perish. |

| 491 | One of the Hospital of Hope's best doctors. [[spoiler:The present day ‘Isha’ is actually him and his father Isiah sharing a body.]] |
| 492 | ---- |
| 493 | * TheAce: He's a legitimately amazing doctor. |
| 494 | * AxeCrazy: He's revealed to be a total ''lunatic'' in Chapter 14. |
| 495 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: He's not part of Team Xen, but he's in a partnership with Cassandra, who is. [[spoiler: He's also hiding a child in the depths of the Hospital of Hope, and may be keeping her prisoner, along with a lab where horrible experiments are carried out.]] He states that all he really cares about is his research. |
| 496 | * BodySurf: [[spoiler:He wants to take over Lavender's body, and bring both of his identities with him.]] |
| 497 | * FallenHero: He started out as a genuinely amazing doctor who wanted to help everyone he could. But as time went on, his job became more and more difficult, and he soon became so obsessed with his incredibly high success rate that it became his sole motivation, and he turned to shady acts to make sure it never fell. Things only went downhill from there. |
| 498 | * GoneHorriblyRight: [[spoiler:When Isiah turned 45, he became ill with a terminal disease for which there was no known cure. He wound up taking over his son's body to buy more time to find a cure. But when his son turned 45, the exact same disease that killed him the first time struck again.]] |
| 499 | * JerkAss: He is a ''dick''. See Maman's backstory, where [[spoiler:she and her daughter fell ill with the same disease, but Maman's case was much worse. Isha cut her a deal: he'd find a cure and give it to her daughter for free, but in exchange, Maman had to cut ties with everyone she knew and abandon society... because Isha wouldn't be able to cure her as well, and then he ''wouldn't have a 100% success rate anymore''. And Maman couldn't afford to say no, because she couldn't afford the hospital payments.]] |
| 500 | * MadDoctor: [[spoiler:Held Lavender prisoner in the Hospital of Hope, and lied to everyone that she was sick when she wasn't. Lavender said he experimented on her, which turns out to be true.]] |
| 501 | * ManChild [[spoiler:The actual Isha is heavily implied to be this, with speech patterns and an almost shy manner not unlike a small child in the rare instances he's allowed to speak and emote without his father pulling his strings, with the implication being that Isiah possessed his body so early he never really had a chance to properly grow up himself.]] |
| 502 | * MaybeMagicMaybeMundane: [[spoiler:The disease that afflicted him originally is also afflicting him now. And even he isn't sure if it's because he "reconstructed his brain too well", because his son caught the same disease he did thanks to bad luck genetically, or a combination of both]]. |
| 503 | * MeaningfulName : Isha (医者) literally means "Doctor" in Japanese. |
| 504 | * TheMedic: A superb one. He reportedly has a 100% success rate. |
| 505 | * MorallyAmbiguousDoctorate: Aside from working with Team Xen, he has also done committed other shady acts,[[spoiler: some of which just to maintain his success rate.]] These include [[spoiler:holding Lavender and Franchesca prisoner and forcing Maman to leave her family and life behind in exchange for treating her daughter. As Isiah he was disgraced due to malpractice against his son, who unbeknownst to everyone was forced to share his body with his father.]] |
| 506 | * TwoBeingsOneBody: [[spoiler:In order to prevent his death, Isiah transferred his consciousness to his son’s body. As a result of a mishap, the two now share the latter’s body.]] |

| 513 | ---- |
| 514 | * AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler: Her demise in the "Try to Escape" and "Do Nothing" versions of the BadFuture arc's ending feature this. In the "Try to Escape" ending, she starts panicking when she realizes that her consciousness is fading, and her last words are apologizing to her father for failing. In the "Do Nothing" ending, she instead realizes as she's being obliterated that perhaps things would have gone better had she acted more benevolently, and quietly admits defeat.]] |
| 515 | * ArcVillain: Of the BadFuture arc. |

| 517 | * TheBusCameBack: Chapter 14 reveals that [[spoiler:she is still alive in Melia's subconscious, influencing Melia's emotions.]] |
| 518 | * CardCarryingVillain: Cheerfully admits this. |
| 519 | -->'''Kenneth''': ...you are nothing short of evil. |
| 520 | -->'''Melanie''': Um, actually I am short, and evil. Stupid dullard. |
| 521 | * DespotismJustifiesTheMeans: [[spoiler:Orchestrated the destruction of the already badly damaged world just so she could rule over the survivors and use them as her playthings.]] |
| 522 | * EnfantTerrible: [[spoiler:She's only a child, but she's got what little remains of the world under her thumb.]] |
| 523 | * EvilBrit: [[ImpliedTrope Implied]], since she only uses Galarian Pokémon. [[WordOfGod Jan]] [[https://janichroma.tumblr.com/post/685057014162964480/any-lore-reason-why-melanie-uses-exclusively-gen confirmed]] she was a...chav ?[[note]][[NationalStereotypes A British stereotype]][[/note]] [[TrollingCreator (The serious answer is in the tags of the post).]] |
| 524 | * EvilMeScaresMe: [[spoiler:She's an evil version of Melia.]] |
| 525 | * FluffyTheTerrible: Most of her Pokemon have the sorts of nicknames you'd expect a small girl to give her pets, despite them being scary and monsterous as often as they are cute. |
| 526 | * TheManBehindTheMan: Discussed by Kenneth and Melia - they notice that the idea of a girl as young as Melanie being able to come up with all of her plans by herself is very unlikely, and wonder if there's something else going on as well. |
| 527 | * SignatureMon: Her Mega Alcremie. |
| 528 | * VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler: In the "Do Nothing" ending, after Melia exposes and foils her grand scheme, she throws a temper tantrum, summons Yveltal, and tries to murder Melia with her Yveltal.]] |
| 529 | * WalkingSpoiler: Seeing as how she's the main antagonist of the BadFuture arc, not to mention she [[spoiler:triggers Melia's TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening]], this is a given. |

| 535 | * CoDragons: [[spoiler:They are working with Madame X to some degree. Why they are hasn't been revealed yet]]. |
| 536 | * CreateYourOwnHero: ''Two separate'' examples, no less. [[spoiler:The black boxes they created were just what Crescent needed to revive the rest of her class, and unintentionally create the Interceptor. And later, they killed Xara and Jean and uploaded all of their data to the Ligosomnia Engine - unaware that Rune had been forcibly subjected to BrainUploading, and that they were giving her access to ''everything'' they knew.]] They literally created the two biggest threats to their plans. |
| 537 | * HiddenAgendaVillain: His and his partner's goals and motives are completely unknown, even more so than the other antagonists’. When cornered in late Chapter 15, they admit they are seeking to ensure their own immortality - but even that seems to be merely a part of the plan/a stepping stone to their final goal. |
| 538 | * KnightOfCerebus: They're extremely enigmatic, dangerous individuals with none of the humanizing or sympathetic traits of the Xen Admins, and the game's tone completely drops all sense of comedy whenever they get involved. |
| 539 | * MysteriousPast: We don't learn anything about their pasts until late Chapter 15. [[spoiler:They're apparently androids from another world, based on the Xara and Jean of this world]]. |
| 540 | * MyNameIsQuestionMarks: Taken to its LogicalExtreme since both their names ''and'' title are masked with ???[[note]]Tough in "Where Love Lies", the red haired woman was using "Mysterious Figure" for her battle title[[/note]]. |

| 547 | A mysterious individual who shows up briefly in Valor Mountain, and later in the desert. He has a partner with red hair. |
| 548 | ---- |
| 549 | * TheBattleDidntCount: [[PlayingWithATrope Played Straight]]. Defeating him with Ren will grant you 4 relationship points, but his dialogue post battle will remain completly unchanged (and is one of the rare battle in the entire game doing so). |
| 550 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: As of this edit, it's unknown if it's this or PetTheDog, but his first mandatory appearances have him assisting you in Mount Valor. While he does bring up the possiblity of abandoning Amber to Team Xen, he also actively helps you save her, as if that's the outcome he'd prefer, despite this seemingly running counter to his goals. From that point on, all of his appearances are strictly antagonistic unless you become a Renegade, and [[spoiler:he enlists you to kill Amber and Venam on the Renegade route to prove your loyalty.]] |
| 551 | * CombatPragmatist: Pokemon Battle is not the first thing you would think when talking about Kieran. His [[TheBattleDidntCount battle]] with Ren was [[ItAmusedMe just to humor him]]. [[spoiler: Using his surfboard to [[DeathFromAbove slam people from above]] is much faster.]] |
| 552 | * EarlyBirdCameo: He gives you the emotion powder in Valor Mountain, long before he truly becomes involved in the story. |
| 553 | * FauxAffablyEvil: Underneath his smooth-talking persona, Kieran is extremely callous and condescending, and seems to have a strong sadistic side to him. He takes disturbing glee in [[spoiler: his chaotic and destructive actions during the Puppet Master's game]], and on the Renegade Route, [[spoiler: he casually baits you into admitting your true intentions to an eavesdropping Amber and Venam, so that you'll be forced to kill them to prove your loyalty]]. Really, he seems to have no respect for anything or anyone, and his superficially easygoing demeanor only serves to make him more threatening. |
| 554 | * IKnowYourTrueName: You can pull this on Kieran when controlling Ren in Hiyoshi Pass. After that, [[DevelopersForesight his name will be correctly displayed for the remainder of the game, including in battle]]. |
| 555 | -->'''???''': What's that? You're gonna have to speak louder than that! |
| 556 | -->(the player enter "Kieran" in the prompt) |
| 557 | -->'''Kieran''': ...Now how'd you know that...? Care to tell me? |
| 558 | -->'''Ren''': I...I don't know...I'm not even sure what I even said...What am I talking about again? |
| 559 | -->'''Kieran''': Hah... You love playing games, Interceptor. Let's keep playing games then. |
| 560 | * MysteriousStranger: Little is known about him. |
| 561 | * OptionalBoss : He's the MiniBoss of the final quest of Terajuma Island "Infinite Potential" where he [[{{Railroading}} railroads]] the player on the quest. |
| 562 | * TheNicknamer: He has a habit of devising cute nicknames for the heroes he tangles with repeatedly. |
| 563 | * RedOni: Impish and wise cracking, Kieran is much more personable than his partner. Evidently, choosing a name for himself is somewhat unusual, and his partner attributes to him being... him. |
| 564 | * RouteBoss : In Chapter 13 you will fight his Xurkitree in a boss fight, but only if you choose to [[spoiler:not expose Flora]]. |
| 565 | * SignatureMon: His Xurkitree. |
| 566 | * SkySurfing: He use a special surfboard to fly in the air. He also uses Alolan Raichu. |
| 567 | * StarfishAliens: He uses an Ultra Beast, Xurkitree. |
| 568 | * YouCantFightFate: He tells Ren that everything is on a predetermined path, or at least, should be. |

| 574 | The woman who manipulates Kenneth and Taelia in ''Where Love Lies''. [[spoiler:She shows up on the top of the Pyramid in Rejuvenation.]] Her name is never stated, but in Chapter 15 [[spoiler:she explains that she ''has'' no name, and can be referred to as Clear if people want something to refer to her by.]] Her partner is Kieran. |
| 575 | ---- |
| 576 | * ArchEnemy: Becomes this to Aelita after she gains the memories of her previous lives, having been the one who murdered Taelia and ruined Kenneth's life. |
| 577 | * BattleThemeMusic: In "Where Love Lies" she use the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1V4DQa5HaR0 Battle - Unknown]] theme, because Battle - Mysterious Figures wasn't created at this point. |
| 578 | * BlueOni: Cold, impartial, and markedly more professional in mannerisms, she's the dour blue to Kieran's red. |
| 579 | * TheChessmaster: In ''Where Love Lies'', [[spoiler:Clear engineers Kenneth’s life so that he falls in love with Taelia and awakens Amethyst Grotto with her. Once that is done, she cuts all ties with him.]] |
| 580 | * DegradedBoss: Not her, but the fake [[EliteMooks Xen Mage]] she create in Aquamarine Chamber is the very first fought in the whole game. After this, other mages are encountered during the Terajuma Island Arc. |
| 581 | * LackOfEmpathy: [[spoiler:She doesn’t care about ruining Kenneth’s life, claiming it was necessary in the grand scheme of things.]] In the present, she repeatedly tells Aelita that nothing she does is personal, it's just business. |
| 582 | * MasterOfIllusion: [[spoiler:Using her Beheeyem, she can create illusions to mess with those around her. In Where Love Lies, said illusions completely ruin Kenneth’s life. She later uses it to trick you into fighting alongside her against Melia and Aelita (though you can still attack her pokemon instead of theirs).]] |

| 589 | !!Eden |
| 590 | Clear and Kieran's deceased partner, who could manipulate emotions. |
| 591 | * EmotionBomb: They had the unique ability to control the emotions of other people, especially forcing them to feel abnormal levels of happiness that made them mentally incapable of opposing Eden; since they were so happy no matter what, nothing could compel them to act in any way. |
| 592 | * NonHumanNonBinary: Is referred to with he/she and they/them pronouns, though they're not the only non-binary character in the game. |
| 593 | * PosthumousCharacter: Was killed before the game began, and is only seen in flashbacks. |
| 594 | * SignatureMon: According to WordOfGod, they "probably" had a Blissey. |
| 595 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Has never made a proper in-person appearance, but is implied to have been [[spoiler: directly responsible for the deaths of Aevis, Aevia, and the other protagonist souls]], and their data proved critical to the events of Chapter 15. |

| 601 | Pokemon mutated by a mysterious, goo-like substance called Rift Matter. They serve as major bosses at certain points in the game. |
| 602 | ---- |
| 603 | * BattleThemeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn5AI4_mfbc Battle - Dimensional Rift]] |
| 604 | * EldritchAbomination: Dear ''god'', yes. |
| 605 | * {{Foil}}: To the PULSE Pokemon from VideoGame/PokemonReborn. They both act as [[EvilCounterpart Evil Conterparts]] to Mega Evolution that the main antagonists are using, but while the PULSE Pokemon were created by technology and usually have a purpose beyond "sentient weapon of mass destruction" (for example, stimulating plant growth or polluting a lake), the Dimensional Rift Pokemon were made through supernatural means and their primary function is to be sentient weapons. |
| 606 | * LovecraftianSuperpower: They're incredibly powerful, but all that power has warped their [[BodyHorror bodies]] and [[SanitySlippage minds]]. |
| 607 | * TragicMonster: It's made clear that the Pokemon turned into Dimensional Rifts are suffering horribly in their new state, but the only way to stop them [[spoiler:(at least normally)]] is to kill them. Notably [[AvertedTrope averted]] with the Dimensional Rift Carnivine, as it actually enjoys its new form. Rift Ferrothorn also seems more annoyed at being defeated than anything, and manages to survive the ordeal just fine. |
| 608 | ** It's implied that the creation of Rift Matter and Dimensional Rifts is linked in some way to the Garufa. How it happens isn't clear, though. |

| 614 | A school of Magikarp that lived in Goldenwood Forest. Unfortunately, Zetta infused them all with Rift Matter, causing them to take the form of a massive Gyarados. |
| 615 | ---- |
| 616 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: It’s field effect boosts the strength of Dark type moves. While it does help it as one of its moves is Bite… it’s also weak to Dark type moves, meaning that a Dark type Pokémon can take it out in about two hits. |
| 617 | * MindHive: As a school of Magikarp fused into one being, this is a given. |
| 618 | * OurGhostsAreDifferent: Yes... |
| 619 | * PaperTiger: It's still above the opponents you fought, but it's relatively weak for a Dimensional Rift. |
| 620 | * WarmUpBoss: It’s purpose gameplay wise is essentially to serve as a tutorial on how Rift Pokémon battles work. |

| 626 | A Galvantula that was released into Amethyst Cave, which apparently went on to kill Melia. As revenge, Zetta turned it into a Dimensional Rift. |
| 627 | ---- |
| 628 | * MamaBear: Even in this state, all it wants is to protect its children, which were scattered throughout the cave alongside it. |
| 629 | * MultipleHeadCase: Three, to be specific. |
| 630 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Its current design is some sort of spider-scorpion-cerberus thing. |
| 631 | * PoisonousPerson: Drops its secondary Bug-typing for a Poison-typing. |

| 638 | An infant Volcanion that was taken from its mother and transformed into a living generator, transforming water into lava as a by-product. It powers Team Xen's Carotos Mountain Base. |
| 639 | ---- |
| 640 | * GooGooGodlike: Despite being an infant, it's still incredibly powerful. |
| 641 | * LoadBearingBoss: Killing it causes a catastrophic meltdown that ends up destroying Team Xen's Base in Carotos Mountain. |

| 649 | The guardian of the Tyluric Temple. |
| 650 | ---- |
| 651 | * AdaptationalHeroism: As of Version 13.5, it's the guardian of the Cursed Root in the Tyluric Temple, and seeks to protect the Pokemon there - in previous versions, it was sent by Angie to wreak havoc on Terajuma, and didn't seem to mind being infused with Rift Matter. |
| 652 | * CursedWithAwesome: It doesn't seem to mind using its Rift form - it can let it defend the Temple, and that's all it needs to know. |
| 653 | * DanceBattler: It's stated to move as though dancing to music. [[GameplayAndStoryIntegration In battle, this is reflected as a type change after each HP bar is depleted.]] |

| 662 | ---- |
| 663 | * BarrierChangeBoss: Gains Protean as an ability, allowing it to change types. In 13.5, due to the new boss mechanics, it now changes to set types passively, and has Trace instead, allowing it to copy the Ability of your current Pokemon. |
| 664 | * LightningBruiser: At the level it's intended to be fought at, it hits like a monster, outspeeds almost everything, and can take many hits due to its shield count and stacking of stat buffs as its shields deplete. |
| 665 | * MercyKill: Its death is framed as this - Nancy asks you to kill it because it is suffering, its last words before battle in earlier versions is to beg for death and its final words afterward are to thank you for its death. |

| 674 | * HealingFactor: Has Poison Heal as an ability, allowing it to heal from the Corrupted Cave Field it is fought on. |
| 675 | * MightyGlacier: It has very high defenses, but a miserable speed stat of 10. |
| 676 | * TragicMonster: It's not even that malicious, only wanting to make sure that Melia survived and even allowing a sample of its body to be taken. Luckily, depending on the player's actions, it is possible to save it. |
| 677 | * VillainousGlutton: Well, [[TragicMonster not exactly villainous,]] but it [[ImAHumanitarian eats several people in the West Gearen Sewers]] [[spoiler: but [[SubvertedTrope spits them out in its lair]]]], and over the course of the battle against it, it eats different objects around the area to change its type. |

| 687 | * MightyGlacier: In its first form, it's ''absurdly'' bulky, but also very slow. |
| 688 | * PlayingWithFire: Its Grass typing is replaced by a Fire typing, to go with the Volcanic field it is fought on. |
| 689 | * WeaksauceWeakness: Downplayed, since at first it has enough HP that even Ground attacks aren't guaranteed to cause a OneHitKill, and its secondary form is fast and strong enough that it can outpace most Ground types. |

| 729 | * MightyGlacier: Has absurdly high HP, Attack, and Defense. And her starting ability, Accumulation, has Gloria possessing three stacks of Stockpile at all times (and with Spit Up and Swallow, the moveset to use it effectively), meaning that you're going to be fighting a battle of endurance.
