Culvier Clan

    In General 
A small clan of female Pokemon trainers from Alola, who came to the Aevium region to train. Most of them are fought as an extremely dangerous Optional Boss you have to go out of your way to find.
  • Amazon Brigade: They're all female, and they're all extremely good trainers.
  • Optional Boss: With the exceptions of Novae and Mars, and to a degree Mercury, you typically have to go far out of your way to find and challenge them.
  • Recurring Boss: You can challenge Novae at 4 separate points in the story by accepting Help Center quests.
  • Theme Naming: They are typically named after planets or space - for instance, Novae, Neptune, Venus, Mercury, Mars...

    Novae 
The "junior" member of the Culvier Clan, who you can fight at several different times.
  • Character Development: She starts off as unsure of herself and the path she walks, but grows more confident thanks to you and Rorim B.
  • Signature Mon: In your first three battles with her, all of her Pokemon are from Alola (which makes sense, since she used to live in Alola). She's changed this by the time you have your fourth battle with her, though. That said, her proper ace throughout all your battles with her is Passimian.

    Mercury 
A Culvier Clan member who is the source of a large number of noise complaints in Gearen City, who has been trying to drive away "demons" for some time.

    Mars 
A Pokemon trainer that you fight in Goldenwood Cave, and a member of the Culvier Clan.
  • Big Creepy-Crawlies: She's got three Pokemon, who are all from the Aevian Leavanny line.
  • Our Dragons Are Different: Her three Pokemon are all part Dragon type.
  • Warm-Up Boss: She's the easiest of the clan to defeat, and serves to tip off the player that there are others like her you can battle.

    Venus 
A member of the Culvier Clan who has found her way into Zone Zero, and who seems to have been there for... quite a while, judging by how she's "talking" to one of the petrified citizens.

    Neptune 
A member of the Culvier Clan who seems to think that the government is trying to assassinate her, and who you meet in an underwater trench on Terajuma Island.
  • Awesome Underwater World: You fight her above an underwater trench in the middle of a coral reef.
  • Conspiracy Theorist: She thinks the government is trying to kill her - though being underwater for several weeks without anyone to apparently talk to may have had an effect on this.
  • Signature Mon: Hers is Mega Blastoise.

Other Characters

Present

    Nancy 

Lingering Regret Nancy

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/nancy_copy.png
Your mother, who is kidnapped by Team Xen early on.
  • Action Mom: When she battles alongside you during the castle arc, she uses a Lv. 65 Sylveon.
  • Ambiguously Human: Various members of Team Xen call her things like a doll and 'it', and describe her as akin to a robot or cyborg. Crescent even says she shouldn't be able to feel emotions. Turns out that Crescent made her using a Black Box to give the player a companion.
  • Ascended Extra: She may very well be the same person as Yancy, from Pokémon Black 2 and White 2, all grown up; her appearance is very similar to Yancy's civilian getup, and "Nancy" is Yancy's pseudonym as a celebrity idol. In earlier versions, her appearance is more akin to Yancy's celebrity persona as well. Turns out she's an artificial personality modelled on Nancy.
  • The Bus Came Back: She appears in Zeight as a sort of interface guide.
  • Emotionless Girl: According to Madame X, she's not supposed to be able to feel love, making her sacrifice for the player surprising. At least to Team Xen.
  • Grew Beyond Their Programming: Crescent never intended her to feel emotions at all, much less care about the player enough to die for them.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: She stays behind to stall Madame X, saving the protagonist.
  • So Proud of You: This is one of the things she says if the player talks to her in Blacksteeple Castle.
  • The Unfought: Played with. While she dies before you get to properly fight her, you do get to team up with her shortly before she dies, and during the Litwick sidequest you fight a ghostly impostor with her team.

    Piano Girl 

Piano Girl/Piano Lady

A lady who plays the piano on the S.S. Oceana.
  • Badass Bystander: Is able to break a ship floor all by herself in order to save you from a Deoxys clone. Later on, she manages to be quite a thorn in the side of the guards at Blacksteeple Castle, and helps the player escape from their cell and start a jailbreak.
  • The Bus Came Back: Shows up at Blacksteeple Castle, and later reappears working at Mika's Coffee in Grand Dream City.
  • His Name Really Is "Barkeep": According to Jan, her full name is Piano Girl Piano Girl.

    Eldest 

Eldest/Cella

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/eldest_6.png
Click here to see her younger self.
The alderman of Sheridan Village.
  • Cool Old Lady: Aelita cherishes her advice, and she's generally a very helpful, wise figure. She is also able to physically outmaneuver the much younger Cera when the latter tries to hold her hostage.
  • Damsel in Distress: Cera threatened her life for the Earth Heart.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": Almost everyone calls her Eldest, except for Souta and her friends in the past.
  • The Lost Lenore: Souta was hers. And in a nonromantic example, Vivian was this too.
  • Parental Substitute: She's the closest thing Aelita had to a mother, and was a similar figure to Taelia.
  • Properly Paranoid: When first meeting Kenneth in Where Love Lies, she freaks out over the dangers of Taelia bringing a stranger to their home. Kenneth wasn't a danger, but the ruffians who followed him were.

    Mosely 

Mosely Carmicle

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/mosely_copy.png
A girl the player rescues in Goldenleaf Town, who helps you out in return.
  • Abusive Parents: Her parents wanted her to become the head nurse in the Hospital of Hope. Mosely wanted to go on a journey with Pokemon. Her parents were furious that she wouldn't blindly follow their wishes, even slapping her at one point.
  • Bad Liar: During the sidequest in which she invades the Hospital Of Hope, she claims to have never been there before, despite knowing its entire layout.
  • The Bus Came Back: Turns up in the Bad Future as the leader of a group of children. In the main timeline, she shows up in a sidequest at the Hospital of Hope. She then turns up in Goldenleaf Town again, where she seems to remember the events of the Bad Future.
  • Damsel in Distress: The first time the player meets her, she's about to be lynched by three Goldenleaf Town residents for being an outsider who stole from them.
  • Happily Adopted: By Maman.
  • Karmic Thief: She steals from the people of Goldenleaf Town because apparently in the past, she was injured and went there looking for help, but instead they beat her up for being an outsider.
  • The Runaway: She was born in the District of Hope to controlling and abusive parents who wanted her to one day become a nurse in the Hospital Of Hope. She decided to leave them to go on a Pokémon journey, which had always been her dream.
  • Sadistic Choice: She successfully steals medicine for Maman, but Isha tells her it's the last one left and if she takes it, a little girl will die, whereas if she leaves it, he'll drop the charges for breaking in and stealing the medicine and let her and the player go. She winds up leaving the medicine behind.
  • Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?: She's claustrophobic.

    Maman 

Bridgette Maman

The kindhearted owner of the Lost Camp and Neved’s wife.
  • Heroic Sacrifice: Left her old life and family behind, knowing that she would eventually die, just so that her daughter could live.
  • Hidden Depths: In earlier versions, she used to be a nurse in the Hospital of Hope and was Neved’s wife before he joined Team Xen. In later versions, she's a Garufan woman who ran away from her tribe to marry Neved.
  • Meaningful Name: Her last name means 'mother'.
  • Parental Substitute: Is this to the children of the Lost Camp.

    Rune Hagan 

Rune/Freya

Huey's sister, and Rhodea and Lavender's friend and roommate. To read more about her alter ego, click on the Puppet Master’s folder.
  • Bookworm: Checked out a huge number of books from the Blakeory Athenaeum.
  • Cool Big Sis: She's very protective of Huey, and did a lot for him.
  • Dark Secret: She apparently has one that would greatly upset Huey. What it is hasn't been revealed.
  • Dead All Along: Rune got turned into stone by Xara and Jean; when Kieran and Clear uploaded their data, Rune corrupted her own data and formed a new identity as the Puppet Master.
  • Early-Bird Cameo: Can be seen alongside her brother leaving Teila Resort, but she can’t be interacted with.
  • Hidden Depths: Was investigating the Miera Region, among other things.
  • Only Friend: Flora is hers. Until Flora told her she was a part of Bladestar, and blackmailed her into keeping it a secret.
  • Teen Genius: She was an undercover detective in the Miera Region, and investigated Team Xen as Freya.
  • Uncertain Doom: Vanished into thin air one day without a trace. There's no indication what has happened to her.
  • We Can Rule Together: Flora told Rune that she was the leader of Bladestar and asked her to join; when Rune refused, Flora blackmailed her into keeping it secret.

    Odessa 

Odessa

The "princess" of Kristiline Town (who often makes sarcastic commentary about how she's not really a princess).
  • Abusive Parents: Her father is... not the best parent.
  • The Chain of Harm: After her mother and sister left, her father became extremely controlling of Odessa, enough that she was desperate enough to resort to pulling a Grand Theft Me on the Player Character in an attempt to escape.
  • Grand Theft Me: She has her best friend and sole pokemon - Manaphy - pull this on you, in an attempt to get away from her emotionally abusive father.
  • Heel Realization: Downplayed. She knew that she wasn't doing the right thing by swapping bodies with you, even at the start of things, but she was desperate enough to try it anyways.
  • I Choose to Stay: In the end, she decides to stay in Kristiline, after making it clear to her father that she's running her own life now.
  • Mind Control: Manaphy can pull a limited form of this off with Take Heart. It doesn't last long, though.
  • Missing Mom: Her mother left her - as well as her father and sister - in the past. It's implied that this, as well as her sister leaving her later, is what made her father become so controlling.
  • Olympus Mons: Her only pokemon (at least, in the early game) is her best friend - a Manaphy, who was responsible for the Grand Theft Me pulled on you.
  • Remember the New Guy?: Her sister ran away with Dylan when Odessa was younger.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: While the "princess" title is mostly honorary, and Odessa has no real power save what people give her, she is usually very polite and put-together. Usually.
  • Spotting the Thread: How her Grand Theft Me is exposed - she's far more talkative than the mostly Silent Protagonist is, and everyone quickly cottons on to her when they realize this or have it pointed out to them.
  • Troubled Abuser: Her father saw both his wife and his oldest daughter run away, and - while he was a very controlling parent, did think he was doing what's right for Odessa.
  • Walking the Earth: After she initially pulls off her Grand Theft Me, she wants to do this. She changes her mind later.

    Risa Elizabeth Raider (Unmarked Spoilers) 

Risa Elizabeth Raider (née Burnett)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/8a25368e_c1b7_4f69_a759_d9132e45780c.png
One of Grand Dream City's most famous celebrities, and the sister of Zumi and Texen.
  • Cessation of Existence: Her dream self ceases to exist alongside the other dream constructs when the Puppet Master is defeated.
  • The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Her Jigglypuff Tuff-Puff has both a special sprite and an illegal moveset, which includes Draco Meteor. Its base stats and move set are the same as Clear’s Naganadel’s, an early hint about her true identity.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Beats Melia 3-0 in an Offscreen Moment of Awesome. Slightly mitigated when it's revealed she used Tuff-Puff/her Naganadel to do it.
  • Dead All Along: The real Risa died long before you even set foot in Grand Dream City.
  • Dead Person Impersonation: She was impersonated by Clear after her death, unbeknownst to even her friends and family.
  • Hero of Another Story: Fought off Team Xen whenever they made an appearance around Grand Dream City.
  • Implacable Man: As part of Lavender's Nightmare Realm's Sci-Fi Horror theming, some version of her, impliciltly Clear impersonating her, turns into a terminator-esque android who stalks Lavender throughout a space station.
  • Leitmotif: Uses Mewmore's Summer in Undella Town, 2nd Remix as her theme song both in and out of battle, appropriate for her bubbly, sunny personality.
  • Nice Girl: Never anything but pleasant (except to Team Xen and its members).
  • Noodle Incident: It has yet to be revealed why she hates Team Xen so much. It may have just been a cover, considering that Clear was impersonating her.
  • Out-of-Character Alert: She briefly drops character when in a Bladestar Lab, facing imminent death, a fairly large red flag that the Risa running around GDC is a bit off.
  • Ooh, Me Accent's Slipping: The real Risa has a southern accent that slips out when she gets angry.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: A dream construct of Risa appears during the School of Nightmares arc, despite having been dead for some time before that. With that said, the "ghost" by all accounts is closer to the real thing than Clear, the woman impersonating her in the real world, is.
  • Renaissance Man: Full-time actor, cheerleader and student at Axis High, among other things.
  • Sheep in Sheep's Clothing: An odd example. The original Risa is very much a Nice Girl - it's a pity she was terminally ill, and that after her death she was impersonated by Clear, who is very much not, even if she likes to act otherwise.
  • Try to Fit That on a Business Card: See that stuff in Renaissance Man? She also is responsible for fighting Team Xen, and is working as a director for her own original movie (which she offers Ana a part in).
  • Unexplained Recovery: She was terminally ill, but then considered cured. In reality, she died and Clear started impersonating her.
  • Walking Spoiler: As the real Risa's been dead long before you entered Grand Dream City, there's not much that can be said about her, her impersonator, or her dream counterpart without giving major plot details away.

    The Puppet Master (Major Unmarked Spoilers) 

The Puppet Master

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/puppetmaster.png
A mysterious being that resides inside the Nightbox Theater, and can only be interacted with if you happen to have a nightmare while you're in Grand Dream City. Since Lavender has an asthma attack and gets rushed to the hospital, you fight her puppets Neon and Magenta as the Psychic-type leaders instead.
  • Alas, Poor Villain: Nobody on the side of the good guys is really happy after she dies, for many reasons - in fact, some of the heroes outright mourn her, wishing there could be another way.
  • Barrier Change Boss: Changes type throughout the final battle with her while simulating traumatic experiences from the protagonist and Aelita's lives.
  • Big Good: She doesn't even show up until you reach Grand Dream City, but it's stated that you only have a chance at winning because of her actions - freeing Alice and Allen from the Unown Dimension, giving the main characters all of the data stored in the Ligosomnia Engine by Clear and Kieran, and letting the Interceptor access their full power by reawakening the souls in them.
  • Climax Boss: The final battle against the Puppet Master wouldn't be out of place as the final boss of any other RPG, complete with a myriad of forms, unique signature moves, and dangerous passive effects. What's more, it's the very first battle in which you'll have access to Interceptium-Z, a Z-Crystal that grants four unique, powerful Moves the game expects you to experiment with to overcome her.
  • Dark Is Not Evil: She wears a pretty creepy mask, and she lives in a casino where you have to gamble to speak with her, but she's not a bad person. She does try to help the protagonist and Aelita along on their quest, though she only speaks in weird riddles, meaning they don't understand him anyways.
  • Didn't See That Coming: She apparently didn't realize or put together that Clear and Kieran could have multiple copies of themselves up and running at once. This comes back to bite her at the worst possible time, for both her and the heroes.
  • Graceful Loser: She's at first a Sore Loser after Clear and Kieran wipe the data on the Ligosomnia Engine - but in that case, it's justified, because he didn't think there was any hope of defeating Team Xen without it. When you manage to defeat her - proving that you might have the power to do that anyways - she's considerably calmer, gracefully accepting defeat at your hands.
  • One-Winged Angel: Once she goes berserk after activating the Ligosomnia Engine, she turns into a massive monster. It takes an 11th-Hour Superpower from the protagonist to take her down.
  • Psychic Powers: She's able to drag dozens of people into a Mental World, Nightmare City, while they're sleeping. However, the implication is that she can only do this at night/while said people are asleep, and she flatly says that people have to come there of their own will.
  • Reality Warper: A downplayed example. She was capable of dragging Karen, Alice and Allen out of the Unown Dimension and into the real world. She also has her own little pocket dimension called Nightmare City that's powered by the Ligosomnia Engine. And then she goes berserk, and the downplayed part goes straight out the window.
  • Samus Is a Girl: Turns out to have been Rune all along.
  • Signature Move: Bunraku Beatdown, a move that gets stronger the more Pokemon in the user's party have fainted. When fought directly as a boss later, her depleted health bars count as fainted Pokémon too, making the move more dangerous the longer the fight drags on regardless.
  • Trickster Mentor: She often speaks in riddles and almost never goes straight to the point, but she claims that her doing so is important for both the protagonist's and Aelita's development. She also has a habit of sending the main characters various items and cryptic clues at points in the story.
  • Two Aliases, One Character: See Samus Is a Girl.
  • The Unchosen One: Nobody - even Kieran and Clear - expected the Puppet Master to do anything. Or even that they would be a problem. But a lot of the later plot is only possible because of her actions throwing a Spanner in the Works for Team Xen by freeing Alice and Allen, arranging for you to get the Psychic gym badge, and many other things.
  • Walking Spoiler: The single most mysterious character introduced during the Grand Dream City arc, and effectively its final boss. There's not much that can be said about Rune or the Puppet Master would spoiling most of it.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: She becomes this after going berserk. She isn't Rewriting Reality out of malice or on a whim - she just doesn't think there's any other way to stop Madame X, with all the information on her and Team Xen wiped by Clear and Kieran (or so it seems....)
    IN MY WORLD, THE WEAK WILL NOT BE TRAMPLED... THE STRONG WILL NOT OVERRULE... AND THOSE HELPLESS WILL FIND NEW HOPE! [...] IF I DO NOT DO THIS... EVERYTHING WILL CRUMBLE.
  • Your Mind Makes It Real: With her Reality Warper powers in overdrive, the final battle's fields and the boss's typing are shaped by nightmares and terrible experiences in Aelita and the protagonist's lives. Aelita's torture at Neved's hands paralyzes your lead monsters, and the latter's multiple deaths set the field ablaze, as two examples.

    Ana 

Android Girl Ana

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bb7f9e03_d920_4fa9_ada2_9c4528484df3.png

  • Action Girl: She has Maggy zap a Bladestar Grunt with Thunder Wave (A Call-Back to when Dylan told her to do that if she ever got in trouble).
    • At the end of the "Missing Children" quest, you fight her 1v6, when your pokemon should all be approaching Level 90 - and as it turns out, her "battle mode" is Level 100, has multiple healthbars, and will put you six feet under if you aren't careful.
  • All-Loving Hero: She loves everyone she meets, even V (excepting the Bladestar Grunts).
  • Eating Optional: Being an android has advantages.
  • Eyeless Face: She doesn't have eyes. She does have an unused battle sprite in the game file with eyes, however, and she eventually figures out how to project her eyes again.
  • Fish out of Water: She knows almost nothing about the world.
  • Luminescent Blush: When she realizes she's entered a cook-off.
  • Nice Girl: She's never anything but friendly, even if she's still learning about the world.
  • Oblivious Guilt Slinging: Not quite "guilt", but she appears to be unintentionally reminding Dylan of his old "friend" Kailani by accident.
  • Oh, Crap!: When she challenges Gigiorno, she doesn't realize until after she makes the challenge that it's not a Pokemon battle, it's a cook-off.
  • Only Mostly Dead: At the end of the Missing Children quest, her body is destroyed, but her actual personality is contained in the Nano Drive, which is still intact- and from the final cutscene with V, she's still aware of what's going on and able to react.
  • The Reveal: She was made by Variya to command the robots the Garufans replaced Pokemon with until she was destroyed. The six player characters found her, brought her back to functionality and were friends with her until she was destroyed again, hence why the player was able to wake her up.
  • Secret Character: Giving the 9494 password to Amanda in the opening sequence will make the player's avatar take the appearance of Ana instead of one of the 6 regular player characters.
  • Signature Mon: Maggy, a unique-looking Magnemite that Dylan gave her.

    Thomas Blakeory Sr 

Thomas Blakeory Sr

The patriarch of the Blakeory family and the head of Blakeory Co.
  • Hate Sink: Holy shit, this guy's one of the worst people in the game. He's done everything from stealing the idea for Grand Dream City and passing it off as his own to setting up Axis High for the express purpose of taking bright, talented students and turning them into slaves for Grand Dream City's corporations. He also tricked Hazuki into marrying him when he never loved her, and has ties to Team Xen.
  • Morality Pet: Saki is the only person he actually cares about.
  • Murder by Inaction: He left the mayor of Hiyoshi City locked up after stealing the plans for Grand Dream City, not caring what happened to him. The mayor's wife came to look for him, and they both wound up being turned to stone by Nihilego.
  • Nepotism: Saki regularly wins contests and prizes at Axis High, whether she deserved them or not. Saki is genuinely smart, but he explicitly ensured she got first place in a contest that would otherwise have seen her taking third, by blackmailing Rune.
  • Pater Familicide: Conspired with Vitus to have his father killed so Thomas could take over the company.

    Cosmia and Comet 

Cosmia and Comet

Two siblings who crop up occasionally.
  • Hidden Agenda Villain: They work for - somebody.
  • Jerkass: Cosmia is supremely unpleasant.
  • Kick the Dog: Cosmia spends most of her time on-screen being a dick to Comet. She was a dick to him even before they became human, implicitly because she's jealous of the attention he got for being shiny.
  • Mark of the Supernatural: Cosmia's hair is partially purple; Comet's is partially blue. Turns out it's because they're both Dittos, and Comet was a shiny.
  • Master of Disguise: They can imitate anyone perfectly.
  • Uplifted Animal: They were both Dittos who became human somehow, hence their ability to imitate people.

    Xara and Jean 

Xara Bela and Jean Ralos

Two students at Axis High University.
  • Accidental Murder: Xara angrily shoved Risa after an argument; unfortunately, by that point Risa's illness had made her so frail that said single shove killed her.
  • Blackmail: They blackmailed Mr Blakeory with his ties to Team Xen in order to secure funding for their experiments with the Ligosomnia Machine.
  • Dead All Along: The real Xara and Jean were killed by Clear and Kieran slightly before the player got to Grand Dream City.
  • Dead Person Impersonation: They were being impersonated by Clear and Kieran, who happened to be androids built to mimic their parallel universe counterparts.
  • Gadgeteer Genius: They built the Ligosomnia Machine, a machine that lets you explore other people's dreams. They were also the ones who built SEC and CLARA.
  • Hot-Blooded: Xara is this, resulting in her not having a lot of friends. She and Risa were close, though.
  • Our Ghosts Are Different: Their spirits can be battled once a day by speaking with an ethereal butterfly in front of Axis High after Chapter 15 in a fairly grueling 6 vs. 12 encounter.
  • Revenge by Proxy: They entered the Ligosomnia Machine in a competition and came second to Saki. In retaliation, they had Cosmia and Comet lure out other students to serve as unwilling test subjects- but they didn't go for Saki, they went for people with the same GPA as Saki.
  • Seeks Another's Resurrection: They wanted to use the Ligosomnia Machine to bring Risa back.
  • Signature Mon: If their spirit battle is anything to go by, Xara's is Mega Copperajah, and Jean's is Mega Beedrill. You even get their respective Mega Stones for winning!
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: The Ligosomnia Machine directly kicked off the turning to stone and amnesia plotlines. It also got Xara and Jean killed.
  • Weak, but Skilled: The vast majority of their Pokémon are either statistically weak or generally seen as underpowered by most, which they balance out with a combination of strategy, Crests, Mega Evolution, and having twice as many Pokémon to throw at you at once than you do them.

    Regina 

Regina

Ren and Reina's mother and only living parent.
  • Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: To Ren. When he visits Goldenleaf briefly during the Diamond Route, she asks him if Melia and Venam are his girlfriends, much to his horror. And then, when she is told they aren't, she asks if he has any boyfriends, and that she won't judge him (she had two in high school). Ren's mortified.
  • Mugged for Disguise: She's attacked by Cosmio and Comet the same night that Ren, Melia, and Venam arrive at Goldenleaf Town, to gather information. She's still alive, though.
  • Parents as People: She does love her kids, but - her relationship with Ren at least appears to be slightly complicated.
  • Smarter Than You Look: She keeps in touch with Reina, and is fully aware that Ren's part of Team Xen (albeit she was unaware of the "double agent" part).

    Mr. Luck 

Mr. Luck

A strange man resembling a stage magician whose original purpose was simply to toggle between the game's three difficulty settings. Version 13.5 greatly expands his role to dealing in the new item introduced with it - Black Prisms, a form of currency with which he can change your appearance or offer game altering contracts. Just be sure to read the fine print before you purchase his services....
  • Evil Counterpart: Fittingly (since the Gardevoir he abandoned as a Ralts is the Evil Counterpart to Pokémon Reborn's Gossip Gardevoir, he's this to Radomus (from the same game)) - a hat-wearing man who's dishonest at first glance - but unlike Radomus, who has a good heart, Mr. Luck never seems to be anything beyond amoral.
  • Honest John's Dealership: When you first meet him, he swindles you into signing a contract with him by spamming repetitive dialogue, knowing the player will eventually skip through it to confirm a deal they couldn't possibly anticipate coming. He's mostly a straightforward salesman after that, but his mechanically oriented contracts do all come with caveats, and he refuses to deal in most of the caged Pokemon in the back of his tent....
  • No Fair Cheating: Trying to swindle him out of his 999 Black Prism contract via the Debug mode is ill advised.
  • Older Than They Look: He's a fully grown, seemingly middle aged man - who looks exactly the same in the modern day as he did several decades in the past.
  • Olympus Mons: He employs a variety of Marshadow to help around his tent, and if you manage the grind for 999 Black Prisms legitimately, true to his word, he'll send a Necrozma to your room in Rhodea's penthouse fairly late into the game.
  • Power at a Price: A variant - his contracts that pertain to catching Pokemon or earning money all have drawbacks to counterbalance them.
  • Soul Power: His tent is full of a variety of Ghost type Pokemon free to roam or sit about. As you progress through the game, more and more Marshadow will eventually fill it, each with their own set of Tutor Moves for you to register. He'll ask his righthand Marshadow, Doxie, to take your soul if you try to cheat Black Prisms into your inventory for the most expensive contract, too.
  • Take That, Audience!: If you manage to beat Doxie one way or another, your "reward" is a long, 4th-wall breaking speech belittling you for cheating, followed by your being permanently being locked out of his and Doxie's services on that save file.
  • Unwitting Instigator of Doom: He was Gardevoir's original trainer, and his abandoning her led to her meeting Vitus, her own eventual corruption, and a myriad of the conflicts that would ensue throughout the game as a result.

    Eizen 
Matthew Vasile's assistant, who helps him with his studies on inconsistencies- things in Aevium that have been Retconned.
  • Creepy Good: He's not a bad guy, but if you answer his questions correctly, his behaviour gets... well, 'unhinged' is putting it politely.
  • Easter Egg: He shows up in a couple of optional encounters (one in Route Z and one in the SyxtenBit Kingdom) that relate to Retconned content (the facility studying Flabebe and the Allen/Bladestar grunt fight, respectively).
  • Fourth-Wall Observer: Eizen is an interesting variation in that he doesn't know that he's in a video game. What he does know is that he lives in a world where things are constantly being changed, added and deleted by some kind of unseen, all-powerful force, including himself- he knows he's a recent addition. He's also fully aware that while he can document and research these changes, he has no power to influence or make them himself, which also means that he has no way to protect himself from being changed or deleted.
  • In-Universe Nickname: Matthew calls him 'Arrow' because of his tendency to make pointed comments.

    Volta 

Volta

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/volta.png
A reporter for Gearen News and the daughter of Jolene. In previous versions, she was the Electric Gym Leader.

Other Important Pokémon

    Garbodor 

Garbodor

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/7d870d75_b3e8_45c2_8d5d_e47f2f6cb87e.png
A shiny Garbodor created by Melia in an experiment to see if she could create shiny Pokémon. Caused a good deal of trouble by eating the electrical wires within Gearen Sewers.

    Gothitelle 

Gothitelle

Crescent's right-hand Pokemon.
  • Psychic Teleportation: Is commonly used to teleport people to safety.
  • Troll: Gothitelle has a mind of her own sometimes; when Crescent asks her to teleport the player and Aelita to safety, Gothitelle drops the player in the middle of a Team Xen admin meeting and then teleports them out a few seconds later, seemingly for shits and giggles. She also appears in a house in Sheridan Village, battling the player and then throwing a Gothita at them.

    Mewtwo 

Dranna

A Mewtwo that was captured by Team Xen and corrupted into a shadow Pokémon by Madelis. Later gets purified by Crescent, and is befriended and nicknamed by her.

    Giratina 

Giratina

A Giratina that appears several times throughout the story.
  • Berserk Button: She gets very irate when Lavender takes its silence as a sign of compliance, but seems content with her changing 'compliance' to 'co-operation between two equal groups'. Given its history, Giratina's refusal to be seen as anyone's inferior makes sense.
  • Butt-Monkey: She was targeted by Indriad and his group at Wispy Tower aiming to use her to make a new world, then it was later captured by Geara, and then after Crescent and Dranna freed her, she got captured by Isha and held prisoner underground.
  • Forced Transformation: The story told in the Wispy Ruins reveal that Giratina used to be Griselda, an ancient queen who was betrayed and poisoned by her own family, but rose from the dead, transformed into Giratina and wreaked havoc across her kingdom, before finally being sealed in the Distortion World. Chapter 13 confirms this, revealing also that Goldenleaf Town was built on Griselda's former kingdom.
  • Optional Boss: Not freeing her will not only lock you in an Hopeless Boss Fight with a doctor, but Isha will sic her on you before his boss fight
  • Samus Is a Girl: Given she used to be a human queen, this isn't terribly surprising. Chapter 10 has her get upset with the heroes stuck in Darchlight Cave about it.
  • Screw This, I'm Outta Here: After helping Lavender defeat the doctors at the Hospital of Hope, she unceremoniously vanishes to an unknown location. The same happens with Isha if she's not freed before.

    Tapu Koko 

Tapu Koko

A shiny Tapu Koko the player crosses paths with several times over the course of their time on Terajuma Island.
  • Badass in Distress: Not Tapu Koko itself, but rather, it's revealed that this Tapu Koko is from an alternate universe, and this universe's native Tapus, including its own Tapu Koko, were captured and frozen by Angie, and the shiny Tapu Koko came to save them.
  • Blood Knight: Fitting its Pokedex descriptions, it really enjoys battling, and fights you twice.
  • Dual Boss: Your second match against it has it fighting alongside the shiny Charizard at Magrodar Crater.
  • Recurring Boss: You fight it once at Terajuma Jungle, then again at Magrodar Crater.

    Audino 

Audino

An Audino that met Aelita on her journey to the Springs of Aevium, and came with her. Is capable of sustaining Mega Evolution for an extended time period on her own.
  • Combat Medic: Subverted. While she's likely capable of fighting, the lack of a Pokemon Center in Zone Zero and the Badlands means that you can't afford to have her fighting with you.
  • The Medic: Her main function while she's traveling with you, Ren, and Aelita during the crossing of Zone Zero, is to keep everyone in fighting condition. She's even capable of purifying Gloria of Rift Matter!
  • Super Mode: She starts out Mega Evolved when you first meet her, and reverts back to her normal self after helping Gloria.

    Goomink 

Goomink

A Goomy that you meet in the Kingdom of Goomidra who was chosen as the Hero of the region. While he's initially shy and timid, meeting you and going on a quest to become a Hero changes that.
  • Expy: Clearly meant to be one of Link. However, he's actually described as the worst soldier in the kingdom at first.
  • Took a Level in Badass: From a level 30 Goomy to a mon who took on a level 90 Emboar and won.

    Goomelda 

Goomelda

The Princess of the Kingdom of Goomidra, who names Goomink as the Hero and sends him on his quest to get stronger so he can protect the Kingdom from Team AA.
  • Expy: She's one of Zelda. Until it turns out that she was working with Team AA. Except that she was just stringing them along to learn their plan.
  • Guile Heroine: She worked with Team AA so that she could figure out their plan, and backstabbed them after she learned who came up with it.
  • Miss Exposition: She tells you that the Kingdom of Goomidra used to belong to Queen Kasumi, before she was killed in the Great Pokemon War. And also that Celine, the Champion of the region (though she isn't named) entrusted the people of Goomidra with the castle - and the Light Stone.
