Main Characters-Humans

Ash Ketchum/Aaron Autumns

Taken in by Poison Lance after his family was murdered by an unknown criminal group.

• Action Survivor
• Accidental Pervert: Decides when he visits a hot springs to either get his pokemon or help others spy on women to find their hygiene secrets.
• Adaptational Intelligence: He starts his journey with a greater understanding of Pokémon and battling than he did in canon.
• All-Loving Hero: Ash is the closest thing this World Half Full really has to a saviour, who can bring people together and solve conflicts in the most non-violent manners possible.
• Annoying Younger Sibling: Brock and Misty sometimes view him as this. That said, while they're correct about much of his naivety and brashness, they're not aware of his backstory and so don't realise just how well he actually can handle himself in light of everything.
• Baby Talk: Due to having the bare minimum of human contact, Ash spoke like this when he was five. Poison Lance was relieved that he could speak at all.
• Bad Liar: Due to being this, he can only lie to people with half truths.
• Big Eater: Averted, as Ash grew up not always having food available and having to conserve food.
• Bookworm: Ash became one to make up for his limited education. Poison Lance encourages this and only let Ash attend school unti he was fluent at writing and reading. He reads a lot, from every possible subject. This ends up saving both him and Pikachu when Pikachu, after previously learning Lightning Bolt from Ash, uses the aforementioned technique to take out a crazed flock of Spearow.
• Chekhov's Classroom: One chapter begins with Ash reading a book on how lighting is formed. When Ash and Pikachu are fighting a flock of crazed spearow, Ash uses this information to teach Pikachu how to form Lighting Bolt.
• Child Prodigy: Is recognized as a gifted trainer for his age.
• Chronic Hero Syndrome: Gets a lot of trouble trying to help people.
• Coincidence Magnet: To the point he no longer denies it. Brock says they should get a mystic to check for curses.
• Combat Pragmatist: Is one with his Pokémon battling tactics.
• Country Mouse: Since Ash grew up in the forest for most of his life, he gets very ansty and disoriented in cities.
• Culture Blind: Aaron is very unaware of things pokemon trainers that should know, things that are taught in class or other people. Justified that Aaron is faking being a normal trainer and was raised by pokemon, who were largely unaware of how humans function.
• Foil: Serves one to N Harmonia, like N Ash is naive and can speak to pokemon. But Ash was raised by wild pokemon that tried raising him to be as human as possible as opposed trained ones who were there to prove Ghestis's point. As a result, Ash doesn't suffer N's Confirmation Bias and sees the good and the bad of pokemon training.
• Friend to All Living Things: Ash apparently got this trait from his parents.
• Guile Hero: Is the least physically competent of the team, so he mostly relies on tactics and thinking his way out.
• Harmful to Minors: Ash sees a distressing amount of violence for a ten-year old.
• The Heart: Ash is the most idealistic of the group and serves as the glue that keeps the group together.
• Hulk Speak: He used to speak like this as a child, and only got that due to Poison Lance making sure that he had regular contact with humans. Even now that he got better, he still has a limited vocabulary.
• Humble Hero: Continuously flustered by praise for his heroism, because, from his perspective, he's only doing what any decent person would
• Innocent Inaccurate: When he first heard of Pokémon training, he was horrified at the concept of taking wild Pokémon from their habitat, stuffing them into little Poké Balls, and forcing them to fight. He had to be reassured by Poison Lance that most Pokémon go in knowing the risk, and some actually go in wanting to be captured to get stronger.
  • Another example is that he doesn't understand why people want to peek on women in the baths and deduces that men want to find out women's hygiene secrets.
• Innocently Insensitive: Sometimes his lack of tact can make him accidentally insulting, as such as the Porta Vista chapter as he calls Misty ugly.
  • Also, he's unaware that Charmander is growing resentful of him for not allowing him to see combat.
• Innocent Prodigy: Is a genius at tactics and Pokémon training, but is very naive about human social mores.
• Just Smile and Nod: He gets this as advice from Poison Lance to just smile and nod when humans do something that doesn't make sense. He employs it quite often around Gary.
• Layman's Terms: Due to his scattered self-education, he doesn't always understand more complicated vocabulary.
• Made of Iron: Takes a beating from a Nidoqueen, while poisoned, that should have crippled or killed him outright going against Krieg, when he awoke his Aura.
• Magnetic Hero: Most of his Pokémon chose to join him, rather than him capturing them.
• Meaningful Rename: When Ash rejoins human civilization, he goes under the name Aaron Autumns. Might also be a reference to Sir Aaron, an Aura Guardian.
• Mundane Luxury: Sleeping in beds, having a roof over his head, or feeling full or having an open fire are unique experiences.
• Nice Guy
• No Social Skills: Is not too smart in social situations, but to be fair, he was raised by wild Pokémon for most of his life.
• Non-Action Guy: Is the only one in the group who is not combat trained. Is being slowly rectified by Brock.
• The Nose Knows: Can tell that people are lying to him by smell.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Humans only know him by his alias, Aaron Autumns.
• Phrase Catcher: Did you just speak properly?
• Ping Pong Naïveté: Didn't understand what mating was... until he realized Brock was talking about sex.
• Psychic Powers: Heavily implied to have Aura.
• Skilled, but Naive: A tactical genius and brilliant at raising and training Pokémon, but has very limited experience with humanity, is ten years old, and very naive due to his upbringing.
• Socially Awkward Hero
• Sole Survivor: The only one of his family to escape the Ketchum murders. Although it's hinted that the group which killed his parents actually wanted to abduct him, instead.
• The Power of Friendship: With the exception of Primeape, he mostly captures Pokémon by asking if they want to come.
• Speaks Fluent Pokémon: Due to his upbringing, Ash can speak to Pokémon.
• Teach Me How To Fight: Asks this of Brock after the siege of the Pokemon Village.
• Traumatic Superpower Awakening: The battle against Krieg ended up awakening his Aura abilities, and kept him alive.

Misty Waterflower

A former Cerulean gym trainer who decided join Ash after he saves her life.

• Action Girl
• Big Damn Heroes: She and Brock stop Krieg from killing Ash as she disabled his traps.
• Cool Big Sis: Unlike in the anime itself, Misty is specifically a couple of years Ash's senior and treats him like a little brother.
• Fiery Redhead: Lampshaded by Pikachu.
• Gym Brat: Because Gym Leaders have a somewhat military role in the setting, Misty was raised like this.
• In-Universe Nickname: Is called the Wandering Sensational Sister.
• The Lancer: She serves as a foil to Ash as she's worldly, trained, and city-savvy.
• Like Brother and Sister
• Ms. Exposition: Was the one who told Ash about money being given to the trainer after winning the gym battle.
• My Friends... and Zoidberg: Played With - while to her face her sisters call her "the runt", behind her back they call her the Fourth Sensational Sister so she won't get a swelled head. This difference in attitude might be due to the fact that her sisters ''raised'' her.
• Pervert Revenge Mode: The Fist of Female Fury.
• Poor, Predictable Rock: Averted, as she is trying to diversify her Pokémon.
• Red Oni, Blue Oni: She's Red to Ash's blue.
• Rescue Romance: Had a crush on Ash for rescuing her; this aspect seems to be dropped by the Pokémon Village arc. She outright states in the Safari Arc that she grew out of her crush as she started seeing Ash as a younger brother.
• Tyke-Bomb
• Why Did It Have to Be Bird Pokemon: Getting attacked and nearly getting killed by wild Spearow, she initially develops a fear of bird Pokémon. Although she desensitizes herself by grooming Ash's Pidgeotto.

Brock

• Big Brother Mentor: He teaches Ash how to fight and survive since Ash keeps getting in trouble.
• Big Damn Heroes: He and Misty save Aaron from being killed by Krieg with Brock's pokemon directly attacking Krieg.
• Chivalrous Pervert: Downplayed from his canon Lovable Sex Maniac characterization; he still flirts with any older single woman, although he draws the line at married women. Erika implies it was his way of acting out against his father.
• Drill Sergeant Nasty: He is one to Ash, training him to the ground.
• Eagle-Eye Detection: Didn't flirt with a Jenny because he quickly saw her ring indicating that she was married.
• Hates Their Parent: He hates his father, Flint, for abandoning him and his siblings after their mother died. While Flint eventually made amends, he has mixed feelings on his father's return.
• I Should Have Been Better: Blames himself for the events of the manor ending up with almost everyone being killed, including Aaron if they had been even a second late.
• The Leader: He nominally leads the group, being the eldest and wisest... Well, at least when Ash isn't taking action into his own hands against orders, much to Brock's chagrin.
• Likes Older Women: Seems to especially like Nurse Joys and Officer Jennys. However, the draws the line at married women.
• Missing Mom: Unlike canon, his mother is actually dead.
• Promotion to Parent: Deconstructed as when Flint left the family, Brock was emotionally unprepared to become a parent to his younger siblings, and had to put his dreams on hold to take care of them.
• The Smart Guy/The Big Guy: A mixture of the two, being both the smartest of the humans in the group but also being the best fighter.
• Stern Teacher
• Team Dad: He's more of a parent/brother to Ash.
• Would Hit a Girl: He fights the Rocket Grunts during the Hidden Village Arc. Brock is specifically described as killing a few female grunts with no less hesitation than the males. Along with basically being trained for it, he knows full well that these people are no less criminals and can't be shown mercy.

Main Characters-Pokémon

Pikachu (???/Sparks Between the Stars/???)

A wild Pikachu that was captured by Professor Oak in the morning when Ash went to get his starter.

• Alien Catnip: The moment he got his hands on ketchup, he fell in love with it. Enough to fight off Primeape for trying to get a little taste.
• Awesome, but Impractical: Pikachu's Lightning Bolt attack is powerful enough fry someone to ash but it requires a thunderstorm in order to work as Pikachu uses actual lightning.
• Berserk Button: Do not mess with Ash. As Damian found out the hard way.
• Completely Unnecessary Translator: Justified as Ash is trying to preserve the image that he doesn't understand Pokémon, but exploits his close bond with Pikachu by saying he can understand Pokémon through Pikachu. It doesn't always work, and Pikachu hates that they have to play charades.
• Deadpan Snarker: Constantly pokes fun at Ash's ignorance of human social mores and other trainers' misunderstanding of him.
• Death Ray: Lightning Bolt is so powerful that that he can turn people to ashes.
• Deliberately Cute Pokémon: Loves looking adorable to get what he wants, especially from Misty.
• Establishing Character Moment: When Pikachu is released from his Pokéball for the first time, he looks at Ash and says "Look at this idiot".
• Giver of Lame Names: When dealing with himself.
  Pikachu: ...Don't worry, the 'Lightning Zapper' never misses!
  Beat
  Pidgeotto: Is that what you're calling yourself?
  Ash: I thought you'd made progress on the name.
• Head Pet: Although it's noted by Misty to be an unusual practice.
• Insult of Endearment: Constantly calls Ash an idiot, but says Ash is their idiot.
• Killer Rabbit: Is a cute little mouse-like pokemon...has a Death Ray for an attack.
• Large Ham: He plays it up when he wants.
• The Movie Buff: Loves monster movies, which is lampshaded by Ash as he never saw a movie.
• Sarcastic Devotee: He snarks every chance he gets, but genuinely loves and supports Ash.
• Shock and Awe: His Thunderbolt attack, which is noted to be unusual among wild Pikachu. Pikachu says he learned it from his father, who was taught by a trained one.
• Weight Woe: Is distressed that he's losing his "plump Pikachu figure".

Caterpie/Butterfree

• Asskicking Leads to Leadership: Became unofficial leader of the Butterfree Migration Group because he kicked the most ass and defeated Team Rocket.
• Defeat Means Friendship: Invoked because while Caterpie was willing to join, Ash wanted to battle for his first capture.
• Growing Up Sucks: Caterpie had this opinion about evolving; though to be fair, most Metapod in the Viridian Forest don't survive to become Butterfree.
• Jumped at the Call: He asks Ash if he could join him, much to Ash's distress because Ash wanted to battle for his first capture.
• I Just Want to Be Badass: Joined Ash because he wanted to evolve and survive through becoming a Metapod.
• Keet
• The Leader: Becomes the leader of the Butterfree migration group.
• Naïve Newcomer: At first, while he was still a Caterpie, he did not knew what the world of pokemon training entails. This trait continued for a while after his final evolution.
  Butterfree: And some of us can't do math well. (Pikachu and Pidgeotto were jokingly playing type supremacy cards.)
• Nice Guy: Is very polite, courteous, and friendly to other Pokémon.
• Offscreen Momentof Awesome: As Ash's team are leaving Viridian, they are congratulating him on his timely evolution.
• Parrot Pet Position: Since Pikachu already called Ash's head, he stays on Ash's shoulders.
• Psychic Powers: Knows Confusion and has an adept psychic moveset, which saved him when he battled a Team Rocket Kadabra.
• Put on a Bus: Similar to canon; however, it's been indicated he might return in the future (unlike canon).
• Took a Level in Badass

Pidgeotto

A Pidgeotto from Fuchsia City who went to Pallet Town to visit some old friends, until she tried to eat Ash's Caterpie. Getting caught was a win-win situation for her, since getting captured meant she gets to travel to faraway lands and have guaranteed meals.

• Carnivore Confusion: Averted, she eats wild Pokémon without any worries. She doesn't eat her teammates out of respect to them and her trainer. She was introduced hoping to eat Caterpie and met Magikarp by eating one of his daughters.
• Easily Forgiven: Forgiven for trying to eat Caterpie and forgiven by Magikarp for eating his daughter.
• The Reliable One
• Tastes Like Friendship: How Pidgeotto was won over; while she regetted being caught in a fight with a trainer, she quickly perked up at the fact that she no longer has to hunt for food and is guaranteed regular meals. It also helps that Ash gave her berries, proving her point.
• This Is Going to Suck: When she realizes that she is going to have to battle a trainer, after she tried to eat Caterpie.
• With Great Power Comes Great Perks: Becames a trainer pokemon because she will get to travel with guaranteed meals.

Bulbasaur

A very battle-hardened pokemon.

• Awesome, but Impractical: His opinion of evolution is while evolution makes pokemon more powerful, it also causes pokemon to consume a lot more resources to maintain it. Seeing how he used to travel in a land of scarce resource and both Melanie and Ash aren't well off enought to support a large pokemon, the costs outweigh the benefits. Plus he's aiming to get Solar Beam.
• Berserk Button: Do not mess with Oddish, Melanie, or Ash.
• Big Brother Instinct
• Cultured Badass: Surprisingly well adviced at history and government movements.
• Fantastic Racism: Not completely so, but he still generally thinks poorly of humanity as a whole, and pretty much views Melanie and Ash as exceptions to the rule.
• Good Is Not Nice: While a good guy, he's extremely rude and willing to get his hands dirty.
• Humans Are Bastards: Thinks that this is one of the two types of people in the world as well as the most prevalent.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Is an jerk to very one outside of Melanie and Oddish but tries to convince Ash to give up his journey for his own safety when he finds Ash understand him and is a good kid.
• Morality Pet: Has one in the form of Oddish.
• Mr. Exposition
• Retired Badass: Had lived in Orre before he came to Kanto to retire and ended in Melanie's care. He comes out of retirement to protect the Pokémon Village and to join Ash.
• Smarter Than You Look: Concisely explained the rise and fall of fascism in Kanto to everyone else.
• There Are Two Kinds of People in the World: Humans come in two flavors in his opinion: the first is people like Team Rocket who use and abuse other people and Pokémon. The second are people like Melanie and Ash who are good people who treat others well and try to help others...and often get used, abused, and killed by the former group. This opinion was formed due to Bulbasaur living in Orre and having had to deal with the kinds of people who live there.
• Thou Shall Not Kill: Averted. It's shown onscreen that he kills several Team Rocket grunts that were planning to attack the Pokémon Village, and shows no remorse for it.
• Unscrupulous Hero: He's geniunely protective of the good people he knows like Ash and Melanie and tries to support them as much as he can, such as delying his own evolution to not have to require more food. But he despises most of humanity and is unrepetant in his use of lethal force.

Squirtle (Little Bouncing Shell/ Fierce Shell/ Haven Shell)

• Big Ego, Hidden Depths: Shows good long-term planning skills, which is unusual among wild Pokémon. He also gives his squirtles a harmless healthy outlet to deal with their problems with humans, so he's very good understanding of emotions.
• Gosh Dang It to Heck!: Avoids swearing.
• Hot-Blooded
• Large Ham
• Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom: In Squirtle, his current name is Little Bouncing Shell. His next name is Fierce Shell when he evolves, and his final name will be Haven Shell.
• Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: He intentionally give up Ash to Team Rocket when he thought they just wanted to prank him.
• The Prankster: Gets people with annoying but harmless pranks to help the Squirtle Squad deal with their abandonment issues.
• Team Dad: To the Squirtle Sqaud.

Charmander / Charmeleon/ Charizard

• Crippling Overspecialization: Despite being a well trained Fire-Type, he lacks other, non Fire-Typed moves. As a result, he sees combat the least in favor of Ash's other more versatile Pokémon.
• Dark and Troubled Past
• The Load: He thinks Ash views him as this since he doesn't allow Charmander to battle for tactical reasons, which could be foreshadowing his future rebellion with Ash when he evolves. This is one of the reasons he forced himself to evolve early, because he couldn't do anything in the last few battles.
• The Resenter: While he does appreciate Ash's rescue of him and Ash's commitment to him, he hates that Ash does not let him see battle and thinks he's being held back because he isn't strong enough. He grows more and more resentful the more Ash doesn't allow him to fight.
• Shrinking Violet: He started as one.
• Traumatic Superpower Awakening: Forced itself to evolve early to attempt to save Ash from Krieg. As a result, his nervous system is out of sync and he can't even use his wings.

Primeape

• Butt-Monkey
• Dumb Muscle: Is really strong, but is not the brightest crayon in the box.
• The Fool: In his Establishing Character Moment, he asked Ash if he saw the kid who can speak to Pokémon, not realizing he was speaking to Ash.
• Funetik Aksent: His dialogue is written in one.
• The Gadfly
• It Amused Me: To why steals Ash's hat.
• Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Was a Jerkass in his introduction, but he seemed to lighten up.

Psyduck

One of Misty's Pokémon who purposely had himself captured.

• Ambiguous Disorder
• Ditzy Genius: Is a lot more powerful and smarter than he lets on, but isn't too bright most of the time.
• Establishing Character Moment: As described by Ash, he walked up to the group, looked at Misty, decided that "she could use some help", and subsequently grabbed a Pokeball to be sucked into. Ash notes it's the first time he's heard of a Pokémon capturing themselves.
• Psychic Powers: The more powerful it's headache, the stronger its powers are. With a sufficient enough one, it managed to deflect three psybeams that converged into a Death Ray.

Magikarp ( He Who Tastes Like Shit/?????)

A Magikarp found faking being wounded on the beach.

• Cartwright Curse: All of his mates and all nine of his children died.
• Cosmic Plaything: Nothing in his life has gone right.
• Cynicism Catalyst: His fourth mate and ninth child died.
• Death Seeker
• Despair Event Horizon: Played for Laughs, Magikarp has given up on living and is excited at prospect of his own death.
• Do Not Go Gentle: How Magikarp was recruited to the team, as Pikachu pitched how they usually get into very interesting and dangerous situations. Magikarp agrees to join, admitting that he didn't have the most exciting life.
  Ash: Weirdest recruitment speech ever.
• Dissonant Serenity: Very calm and at peace with himself even looking forward to his own death, which is Truth in Television for suicidal people.
• Driven to Suicide: Played for Laughs and drama as Magikarp was hoping to be eaten after his fourth mate and his ninth child died.
• The Eeyore: Is very depressive to say the least.
• Heartbroken Badass: He's lost much, but isn't afraid of anything the team faces. Mind you, he's also suicidal.
• Let's Meet the Meat: He tried to invoke it, offering himself to be eaten and constantly encourages the others to cook and eat him.
• Nightmare Fetishist: Was a little too happy at the thought of Ash leaving him to freeze to death
• Thank Your Prey: was a recipient of this when Pidgeotto ate his third daughter and help him find her bones to mourn.
• Unfortunate Names: Magikarp's name literally translates to He Who Tastes Like Shit. It's supposed to discourage predators.
• Wounded Gazelle Gambit: Faked being wounded in the hopes that someone would eat him.

The Kanto Pokemon League

The Sensational Sisters — Lily, Daisy and Violet Waterflower

• Adaptational Intelligence: A good deal smarter than in canon. Their ditziness is just an act.
• Berserk Button: They don't like Pallet Town trainers too much. Mostly because they see them as Quantity Versus Quality.
• Big Sister Instinct: Are protective of Misty despite their attitudes towards her.
• Ms. Fanservice: Thanked Ash with a big heaping of Marshmallow Hell.
• Obfuscating Stupidity: They pretend to be weak in order to trick upcoming trainers to lower their guard for the real gym battle.
• Promotion to Parent: Implied by Misty, who stated their parents died when she was very young.
• Training from Hell: Received this from Lorelei of the Elite Four. Which is why Misty is a big fan of Lorelei.
• The Unfought: Ash never battles them, and like the anime, they give him a badge. This is more due to their gratitude for Ash saving Misty. Although it is implied that unlike in the anime, they're much stronger and would probably have beaten Ash.

Seele

• Making a Splash
• Obfuscating Stupidity: Lampshaded by him:
  Seele: Oh boy, another Pallet trainer. Do I have to pretend to be weak and stupid again?

The Wandering Ranger

• The Dreaded: Team Rocket and other criminals are so terrified of him that they often surrender without fighting.
• The Drifter: He's called the Wandering Ranger for a reason.
• The Faceless: Keeps his face covered by his hat.
• Sociopathic Hero: Openly admits he prefers when the criminals fight back, as this way he can kill them all and avoid filling paperwork.

Lt. Surge

• Arrogant Military Man: He is very confident over his battle prowess with good reason.
• Cool Old Guy: He's pretty swell for the most part, despite his overconfident demeanour.
• The Gadfly: He's a bit of a troll.
• Older Than They Look: Has participated in the Great War as a soldier, but his age doesn't really show.
  Misty: What? He doesn't even look old.
• The Unfought: Justified - had he used his main Raichu, Ash wouldn't have stood a chance. He was still pretty impressed by Ash and Pikachu for defeating the weaker Raichu though, since it wasn't a pushover either.

Surge's Raichu

• Dirty Old Woman: Gets very cuddly with Pikachu
• Shock and Awe: Electric-type.
• Super-Speed: Is faster than Pikachu, who's no slowpoke himself.
• The Unfought: Instead of using her in the Gym Match against Ash, Surge used one that he'd captured more recently. Which is a good thing, since she's a lot stronger than the Raichu he used in the gym battle.

Sabrina

The Psychic-type gym leader of Saffron.

• Break the Cutie: Sabrina was mindraped by Team Rocket, forced to kill her gym members and loved ones, and nearly destroyed Saffron City before being freed.
• Brainwashed and Crazy: She was forced by Team Rocket to kill her own gym and take over Saffron for them. Fortunately, Ash managed to break her free, removing the need for Agatha to Mercy Kill her.
• Broken Bird: Although she was freed by Ash, she's already killed most of her loved ones, her Pokémon died in the clash against Agatha, and most of her psychic potential is gone. She is gunning for Revenge on Hikaru Buckak.
• Cool Big Sis: She serves as one to her apprentice Britany.
• Disappeared Dad: Unlike in the anime where she drove him away due to her uncontrollable powers (but he still watched over her from afar), it's not explained why he left and is still absent despite her being well-adjusted here...
• Forced to Watch: She was trapped in her own body, her emotions mostly blocked while Hikaru Buckak completely ruined her life.
• Mind Rape: she receives one and is forced to weaponize it.
• Parental Abandonment: No details about it yet, but she at one point states that her father left her (for unclear reasons, unlike canon), and there's no word on what happened to her mother.
• Psychic Powers: Considered the strongest in the setting. Before the ugliness.
• Sadistic Choice: Before Hikaru overtook her mind, she only had enough time to save one person - either Atsushi or Captain Torch - by "tricking herself" into thinking she'd killed that person and making them look invisible to her. She ultimately chose Torch despite her heart's desire because she knew that he'd be able to contact Agatha and ensure she'd be stopped sooner rather than later - she does hate herself for it later though, especially since she could not Take a Third Option to prevent the chaos in the first place...
• Single Woman Seeks Good Man: the reason why she was attracted to Atsushi.
• The Unfought: Ash never battles her and she gives the badge to him as a reward for stopping her and to keep quiet about his role in her rescue.
• Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: But now she is just the Broken Bird.
• World's Strongest Psychic: Recognised as this, as well as a potent trainer in her own right. Such that Agatha was hoping for Sabrina to be her successor one day. This is not the case anymore - even with Ash destroying the machine amplifying Hikaru's psychic powers, Sabrina needed to fry a number of her brain cells to end his control over her. This has reduced her physical capacity and also crippled her psychic powers to a mere third of their usual potency.

Britany

Sabrina's young apprentice.

• The Apprentice: To Sabrina.
• Bring My Brown Pants: Her last moments were terrifying.
• Forced Transformation: She is last seen (before her death) being turned into a porcelain doll by Sabrina, with it travelling up her body. Nothing Is Scarier, too, because it's unclear if it was at all real, her imagination, or some unholy combination of both... But her head still bled from the neck down when we saw it; Sabrina mentions going to visit her grave in Cerulean City; and Captain Torch's account of the incident indicates that much of the Cold-Blooded Torture Sabrina did was psychological... so perhaps it was simply elaborate Mind Rape. No less horrifying, however.
• Girlish Pigtails: Wears her black hair in pigtails.
• Kill the Cutie: By the hands of her own mentor.
• Naïve Newcomer: She's the new apprentice of the Saffron Psychic Gym.
• Sacrificial Lamb: To show how off the reservation Sabrina went.
• Off With Her Head: When Ash and his group arrive in Saffron, Sabrina teleports her decapitated head into her hand, much to their horror.
• Original Character: Not in Canon.

Atsushi

An accountant of Saffron's former fighting gym, who has decided to stay after the conversion to Psychic-types. He's in a relationship with Sabrina.

• Cold-Blooded Torture: At Sabrina's hands, thanks to Hikaru Buckak. Then she kills him.
• The Lost Lenore: To Sabrina and Captain Torch.
• Muggle: Is not a trainer, but was a regular accountant from the Fighting Dojo.
• Nice Guy: Why Sabrina liked him.
• One-Steve Limit: Shares the same name with a trainer from the Fighting Dojo in the games.
• Original Character: Not in canon.

Captain Torch

A spellcaster sent by the League to watch over Sabrina.

• The Apprentice: Is Agatha's apprentice.
• Betrayal Insurance: His assignment there was to stop Sabrina if she ever went rogue.
• Hidden Depths: Who would think the Lovable Sex Maniac is not also a League spy but Agatha's apprentice?
• Lovable Sex Maniac: Openly hits on Sabrina and Atsushi, but only them.
• The Mole: Is a mole to the League to keep an eye on Sabrina.

Agatha

The Ghost-Type specialist Elite Four member.

• Barrier Warrior: Is very handy with setting up barriers to protect herself and others.
• Godzilla Threshold: If she shows up it means all hell has broken loose and she has arrived to assist.

Erika

The leader of the Ecruteak City Gym, she is a gardener and a professional therapist.

• Adaptational Heroism: She's a lot closer to the warm and patient personality from the games as opposed to to the myopic, vindictive characterisation she had in the anime.
• Nice Girl
• Pastimes Prove Personality: As a devoted gardener, she has a stern but nurturing nature.
• Sherlock Scan: Downplayed in that she doesn't point out what gave Ash away in that he's an orphan, but justified in that she is a trained therapist.
• Silk Hiding Steel: Is a very graceful woman but can take apart someone's personality quirks by looking at them and can wrestle Brock down to the floor.
• The Shrink: Her self-appointed role.
• There Are No Therapists: Averted - she's the self-appointed therapist for the Gym Leaders, and quite good at it to boot.

Koga

Gym leader of Fuchsia City, a Poison Specialist. In line for the next opening in the Elite Four.

• The Unfought: Heck, we never even meet him. He has Aya deliver Ash's badge because of his actions during their joint encounter with Team Rocket.

Aya

A trainer and ninja from Fuchsia City, younger daughter of Koga and sister of Janine.

• Action Girl
• Age Lift: From late teens (or early twenties) in the anime, to about ten. She's also re-envisioned as Koga's younger daughter and Janine's sister, as opposed to being the former's younger sister (Janine was Adapted Out of the mainstream anime).
• Arrogant Kung-Fu Guy: Thinks very highly of her skills.
• Black Sheep: Is from a family of skilled Pokemon trainers but doesn't like to train Pokemon.
• Father, I Don't Want to Fight: Aya doesn't want to be a trainer. While she does like her Venonat, she prefers fighting on her own and doesn't really like Pokémon. Which is a problem since her father Koga is being scouted for the Elite Four and her older sister is her father's successor.
• Ninja Brat
• Poisonous Person: Her Venonat.
• "Well Done, Daughter!" Girl

Lucas's Pokemon

A scattered team of highly skilled pokemon living in the wild who were all trained by the mysterious Lucas.

Poison Lance

The Leader of the Virdian Forest. This weedle took Ash in and raised him to respect Mareep's Last Request and the legacy of the Ketchums.

• All Webbed Up: Is prone to doing this with String Shot, example being when he makes a cocoon to act as a baby carrier for a toddler Ash.
• Almighty Janitor: The most badass Weedle you will ever get to see.
• God Guise: His Signal Beam attack got him mistaken for Genesect.
• Papa Weedle: According to Ash, this is actually very unusual as the Weedle line don't have any nurturing instinct.
• The Patriarch: Is the head of the Pokémon community of Viridian Forest.
• Mundane Utility: Is prone to using his attack for everyday needs, such using a powered-down Signal Beam as a flashlight, or using String Shot to make clothes, baskets, tents, houses....
• Real Men Wear Pink: Makes clothes for Ash using String Shot.

Jessie and James

A pair of bumbling, dangerous Team Rocket agents.

• Abusive Parents: James's parents tried torturing him to change him.
• Affably Evil: Jessie and James are quite affable, which only makes their villainy more disturbing.
• Ambiguous Innocence/Obliviously Evil: Jessie and James play both ends of the scale - they are largely innocent, but have a skewed sense of morality leads them to perform or assist horrible acts.
• Anti-Villain
• Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: The core of Jessie and James's moral compass, to point of getting offended at called "Good Guys", and are in Team Rocket in order to fight against them. They basically think Team Rocket is benevolent purely because they oppose the League. This is exemplified by how they think the "Good Guys" do terrible things and the "Bad Guys" are the ones that help people.
• Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Jessie and James are still very goofy and sympathetic, but are extremely dangerous. Their competence and danger level is so high they can openly get away with failing to catch Pokémon and their flaunting of Team Rocket's anti-attachment clause because they are so skilled. Noted by Misty when Jessie came into the perfect position to snap her neck and instead chose to graffiti Misty's face with marker.
• Dark Action Girl: Jessie is very skilled and dangerous.
• Dark and Troubled Past: Something in their past made them what they are. As shown with James.
• The Dividual: They always function as one unit.

• I Know Your True Name: Due to Meowth, they know that Aaron is not Ash's real name.
• Never Found the Body: When his family's manor burned down, James's body was never found. Elle and Growlie believe that he perished in the fire with the rest of his family.
• Only Friend: As a child, he was Elle's only friend because she spent so much time with him.
• Pragmatic Villainy: They know Ash's real name and that he can speak to Pokémon, but they don't tell anyone because they want to take the credit if they do succeed in recruiting him.
• Replacement Goldfish: The narrative implies that James became so attached to Jessie due to her resemblance to Elle.

• Sanity Has Advantages: Word of God states this is why they won't be able to defeat Ash.
• Skewed Priorities: Definitely.
• Stealth Mentor: They fight Aaron in hopes of either recruiting him, capturing him, or making him stronger.
• Supreme Chef/Team Chef: In a subversion of canon where she's a Lethal Chef, Jessie is apparently one as she does all the cooking and makes all the snacks. Misty, thinking her cooking was from a catering service, thought Jessie did very good work.
• Token Good Teammate: A variation in that, unlike most Token Good Teammates, they are still very dangerous and effective.
• Trauma Button: They have one toward being called "Good Guys." They were implied to be tortured by people calling themselves the "Good Guys."
• Trickster Mentor
• We Can Rule Together: Their motive for chasing Ash: unlike canon, their goal is to recruit Ash into Team Rocket for his great trainer potential and his ability to speak to Pokémon.
• Why Couldn't You Be Different?: James disappointed his family by not being as masculine as they wanted and for liking pokemon. They tried beating it out of him by torturing him in the manor's dungeon.
• White Sheep: Despite their increased danger level, they are still the nicest people in Team Rocket.

• Only Sane Man: Is the only one not crazy in the group.

• Irrational Hatred: Blames Saffron for the deaths of his father and mother.
• Karma Houdini: For now, at least — he was knocked unconscious by Ash's destroying the psychic-amplifying machine, while many of the Pokemon he used as a conduit died from the backlash. However, Sabrina fully intends to hunt him down and make him pay for his crimes.
• Knight of Cerebus: Good Lord, is he ever...

Trainers and others

Gary Oak

• The Ace: Played for laughs.
• Adaptational Nice Guy: While he's still egotistical, he's nicer to Ash and less of a jerk overall.

• Locked Out of the Loop: Poison Lance made sure he wouldn't know Ash was still alive, because they feared it would get him sent to an orphanage and make him a target for the group that killed his parents.
• Retired Badass: He was the Champion of Kanto back in his day and openly fought against Team Rocket.

Lucas

Poison Lance's late trainer and revolutionary in the Great War.

• Mysterious Past: Nothing is known about him besides the fact he was a good trainer and he fought against fascists and Team Rocket in the Great War.
• Posthumous Character: He's long dead by the events of the story
• White Sheep: An anti-fascist revolutionary in a fascist family.

Charmander's original trainer. A very bad person.

• Adaptational Villainy: Well... from Jerkass to actual psychopath. Has its basis in canon though, so it's not a stretch.
• Axe-Crazy: He and his friends were planning to kill Ash and everyone else in the Pokémon Center.
• Freudian Excuse: His father was an abusive drunkard that murdered his beloved mother and forced Damian to hide the body. Averted, as it shows how he became the person he is, but the narrative does not let it excuse his actions.

• Knight in Sour Armor
• The Medic
• One Degree of Separation: She's Erika's cousin. Ash figures this out when he asks Erika, having noticed the Strong Family Resemblance.
• Stepford Smiler

Tommy Marshall

A boy raised in the Safari Zone.

• Foil:
  • He is a more naive Ash, but was deliberately groomed by humans as opposed to Pokémon.
  • Serves one to N Harmonia, like N Tommy is naive and can speak to pokemon. Like N, Tommy was deliberately groomed by humans for the purpose of exploitation. Unlike N, Tommy's adoptive pokemon mother is an active force in his life and he was saved by his loving human parents.

• I Will Find You: They have devoted many years to finding their son, even when everyone else told them to give up.

A Pokémon son and father pair from HopHopHop Town

• Didn't Think This Through: Were holding the hypnotized missing children captive to protect them from getting caught by more dangerous thugs, without thinking of any way to contact or attract the attention of the authorities. To be fair, long-term planning is not natural to wild Pokémon.
