[[folder:Malt the Miltank]]
A Miltank who used to work on Tao Ranch as an accountant, alongside his sister Ovaltine.

After [[spoiler:Sorbet's rampage]], Malt went to Tao Village to help with the cleanup, hoping to impress PK and Shroomsworth by getting as much work as possible done. Instead, he found a black, heartbroken PK with her partner nowhere to be found.

After consoling her he became the new Merchant Guild Leader Assistant.

* TheChick: He's the least combat inclined (that we've seen) and generally the most caring of the Merchants, and works to keep them all together amid the sea of hardship they're stuck floating on.

[[folder:Devonshire the Sableye]]
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Devonshire_33.jpg]]

Devonshire the Sableye is the questionable leader of the Rogues. Quiet and ominous, he does little of the gruntwork needed to further his yet unknown goals, trusting the direction of his partner Gunpowder. Shrouded with a past that not even he can completel recall, this ghost he is known as one of the most shady residents in Tao. Smart, cunning, and collected, he is the talk of much speculation in Tao. Strangely enough, his first date of residence within Tao Village is unknown as well; he's been there as long as anyone can remember.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PK_6762.jpg

[[spoiler: Currently dormant after his rampage in Tao Village]]

* [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy: During Mission 5, due to Shade's Illusions.]]

* NoBiologicalSex: Ordinarily this is averted among the legendaries in PMD-E, but it's played straight with Sorbert. Possibly to fit its Wuji - the lack of feminine Yin or masculine Yang - theme.

!Malt

After [[spoiler: Sorbet's rampage]], Malt went to Tao Village to help with the cleanup, hoping to impress PK and Shroomsworth by getting as much work as possible done. Instead, he found a black, heartbroken PK with her partner nowhere to be found.

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Devonshire_33.jpg

!Fresnel

After dropping in on the Merchant hut during a heated discussion and finding the atomsphere less than pleasant, Fresnel entered the Rescuer's treehouse looking for quiet shelter. Mike had just received a letter from Chill outlining the events at Snowy Village. As a direct result, Mike lost his temper and left the treehouse, shoving Fresnel out of the way.

Fresnel picked up the discarded letter and read it, realising why Mike was so angry, but also that the triangle he left on the desk was the Icicle Triangle, a Legendary Instrument. He leaves in order to educate Mike on the importance of the artifact at once. Mike loses his temper with Fresnel again, but Maple overheard and asked Fresnel to return.

Upon learning that Mike cannot play the Triangle and Maple can, Fresnel asked what reason they had for seeking the instrument in the first place. Mike replies that it was something to do with Sorbet, and they convince Maple to play for the Kyurem to gauge its effect on him. An adventurer who came to Tao Village.

%%* [[{{Delinquents}} Deliquent]]: As a kid, since he couldn't be an engineer.

!Maple

!Winston

Winston the Whimsicott drifted in from Windswept Woods. Having a peaceful demeanor, he prefers to do as little fighting as possible.

!Gnasher

Gnasher is the ghostly spirit of [[spoiler: Slasher]], reanimated within a Banette sewn by Chrys. He seeks to atone for what he's done in putting his apparent talents as a tailor to work for the village he once antagonized. Though bearing good intentions, his personality is still somewhat abrasive and tends to favor those with respectable talent (as far as he's concerned) over anyone else. He toils to add personal touches to already-existing accessories for the various teams of Tao, and is always proud to show off his work.

A jewel-cutter who worked in Gambitville. She takes in unrefined gems, and cuts them into jewelery to be sold at in Alomomola Bay. She is Guld's daughter. She met Mike when he visited Gambitville. He and Syrup offered to help her collect gems, so she could fulfill her dream of becoming a jewel-cutter. During their journey she started to develop feelings for Mike, which seem to be mutual.

!Michelle ("Missy")

Michelle, aka Missy the Blissey, runs the hatchery at Tao Village and tends to both the eggs and young pokemon that hatch from them, running both the hatchery and a daycare together. Her facilities tend to get crowded with more pokemon than she can take care of. On several occasions, she has requested the help of various guilds in looking after the baby pokemon.
