** This accidentally happened to Nina when she got near him, causing her brain to be overwhelmed and rendering her helpless for a moment.

* [[spoiler: DramaticIrony: Despite having a great admiration and love for fire and fire Pokemon, when he was revived and discovered he had pyrokenisis, his initial reaction was one of horror, as he felt it was now impossible to be close to those he cared about. His opinion of it began to shift slightly when he found out he could now hug and pet his Fire Pokemon without harm.]]

* FreudWasRight: Mike's player has stated Milo is basically Mike's Id gone awry, as most of what Milo wants and tries to accomplish are hedonistic desires.

* ThroughTheEyesOfMadness: Being a figment of Mike's insanity, only Mike can see Milo. That is unless, someone near him has telepathy. If so, they are able to see him as plainly as Mike does.

* Troll: Milo is relentless with his verbal abuse, having taunted Keegan for each girl that he likes liking Mike better, the entire group of friends for accepting Kilik despite him personally killing someone, and Sasha and Kirsa for being lesbians (even though they're not. Well, Kirsa isn't. Sasha's just [[BiTheWay special.]])

* YourMindMakesItReal: Mike fully believes that Milo is real, so much so that Milo can do ''physical damage'' to Mike should he feel it necessary, or fun.

* PyroManiac: Mike will at times set things on fire, or shoot flames just for the hell of it, thinking flames and the wreckage they cause are beautiful.

* BerserkButton: As long as your name doesn't happen to be Mazarin Stanky, you should be fine.

[[caption-width-right:300:Because sexual assault is okay if the offender is a hot French girl.]]

* BurningWithAnger: [[spoiler:Following his resurrection at the hands of Moltres and his unintentional acquisition of [[PlayingWithFire pyrokenisis]], whenever Mike is angry or distressed, smoke will begin to ''pour from his scars'', and the air around him will ripple with heat.]]

* InsanityImmunity: When Mike is in full on psycho-mode, he showcases [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief ridiculous]] resilience, going so far as to continue fighting with multiple broken bones and a knife in his arm, ''not even noticing that knife was there until after he'd beaten down his opponent, then [[OnlyAFleshWound pulling it from his arm without hesitation.]]''

* SelfHarm: Method of choice? Smashing his head into solid objects. He has even gone so far as to try to [[RedemptionEqualsDeath kill himself to make the world a better place.]] Twice. Both times he was halted by Milo.

SelfInsertFic: Mike shares his name and initial physical similarity to his player, a fact that slightly embarrasses him now. The player states that another reason he underwent such a dramatic and frightening shift was to differentiate the character from the player.

* StalkerWithACrush: That's putting it ''lightly.'' From the shadows, Mike has [[Pyromaniac set fire]] to the Lavaridge Gym so Flannery could put it out and feel brave, secretly caused a rockslide to help her catch her first Pokemon (nearly killing it in the process), left birthday presents on her windowsill every year, and ''decorated a cave in a nearby volcano with pictures of her.''

* PainfulTransformation: [[spoiler: Mike's resurrection was done so with a good deal of Moltres's personal essence, and altered his body slightly because of the phoenix's natural power. The transition has been less than pleasant, as his entire body was basically forcing all of his old blood out by means of his new high pressurized blood ''boiling it to the surface.'' Because of this, Mike's wounds eject poison, and he has vomited molten bile more than once, likening it to the “worst case of acid reflux he's ever had times a thousand”.]]

* MindRape: Milo does this to Mike almost daily, mostly by taunting him with extremely vivid hallucinations.
* MoralityPet: His Pokemon. Despite his newfound psychocis, he continues to treat them with care and praise. Milo, however, treats them poorly, refusing to call them by their names, and at one point [[KickTheMoralityPet had Proton ''paralyze'' Napalm and forced him to lift Titanium with his telekinetic abilities, further punishing him when he was unable to do this.]]

* InsanityImmunity: When Mike is in full on psycho-mode, he showcases [[WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief ridiculous]] resilience, going so far as to continue fighting with multiple broken bones and a knife in his arm, ''not even noticing that knife was there until after he'd beaten down his opponent, then [[OnlyAFleshWound pulling it from his arm without hesitation.'']]

* BurningWithAnger: [[spoiler:Following his resurrection at the hands of Moltres and his unintentional acquisition of [[PlayingWithFire pyrokenisis]], whenever Mike is angry or distressed, smoke will begin to ''pour from his scars'', and the air around him will become noticeably hotter.]]

[[quoteright:300: ]]

** [[spoiler:He used them to help breakout of the Saffron Mental Hospital by [[ManipulativeBastard tricking]] the orderlies into letting him keep them on, then torching his padded cell.]]

* [[TryingToCatchMeFightingDirty?from=Main.FightingDirty Dirty Figher]]: If Mike gets in a fist fight, he will pull every dirty trick and take every cheap shot.

--> ''"You-haha-told me last night that I drive you crazy. Allow me to show you how CRAZY YOU HAVE ALL MADE ME!"''

-> Mike is a small-town boy from Lavaridge who seems to constantly [[FailureIsTheOnlyOption draw the short stick in the lottery of life]]. When he was a young boy, he fell head over heals in love with the young [[GirlNextDoor Flannery]], which sort of...[[StalkerWithACrush consumed his entire life]]. It was a completely healthy longing. Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, saw this and decided to use it to his advantage. [[ManipulativeBastard Promising him]] a safer world [[LoveIsAWeakness for his beloved]], he had the young boy work for him and steal the Red Orb (an ancient relic that helped contain a powerful Pokemon: Groudon). On the eve of Mike's 14'th birthday, Maxie released Groudon, [[NiceJobBreakingItHero causing the city of Lilycove to be nearly destroyed]]. Mike saw hundreds die in front of him as buildings crumbled and waves washed over the city. [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone Overwhelmed by horror and guilt]], Mike fled back home, where for the next few years, lived in constant paranoia of everyone finding out his involvement in what was now known as the Lilycove Incident. Over that time he slipped further into madness, soon being tormented by a creation of his own mind: Milo. Milo, appearing as a phantom, constantly assailed the boy with [[ItsAllMyFault grief]] over his misdeeds. Eventually, unable to take it anymore, he fled to Kanto, disguising his trip as the usual Pokemon adventure. All worked out fine for a while, but soon his past caught up with him. Unable to take anymore of it, Mike [[FreakOut completely snapped]], going through an almost entire personality override as his entire life crashed and burned around him and he [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind struggles]] with Milo's [[SlowlySlippingIntoEvil increasing hold]] on him.

* AcheyScars:
* AerosolFlamethrower: His mother, an inventor, invented him a pair of gloves that shoot fire from them, claiming they were for his self defense. At first, Mike thought they were [[AwesomeButImpractical ridiculous and dangerous]], but they turned out to be very useful.
** [[spoiler:He used them to help breakout of the Saffron Mental Hospital by [[ManipulativeBastard tricking]] the orderlies into letting him keep them on, then torching his padded cell.]]
* AxCrazy: And how. Milo's influence has turned him into a [[InsaneEqualsViolent very violent, very unstable person]].
* BadDreams: Plagued by them after returning home to Hoenn. Most of them included the [[FlashbackNightmare Lilycove Incident]]
* BattleCouple: With Kasiya. The two are [[ShipTease very close]], so much so that [[spoiler:Kasiya helped break Mike out of the asylum, and is one of the few people Mike actually fully trusts]].
* BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind: Milo, claiming to be Mike's true self, is constantly trying to take over as the dominant, and only personality of his mind. When Mike becomes overly fatigued or emotionally overwhelmed, Milo sometimes [[SplitPersonalityTakeover takes the wheel]] while he recovers.
* BerserkButton: Don't hurt [[LoveInterest Flannery]]. Or [[ShipTease Kasiya]]. Or read his mind. That sets him ''off''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: For most of the story, Mike was calm, friendly, and never prone to any sort of outbursts. It turns out, that this [[BeneathTheMask wasn't exactly]] the [[HiddenDepths real him]].
* [[spoiler:BurningWithAnger: Following his resurrection at the hands of Moltres and his unintentional acquisition of [[PlayingWithFire pyrokenisis]], whenever Mike is angry or distressed, smoke will begin to ''pour from his scars'', and the air around him will become noticeably hotter.]]
* CatchPhrase: “Ready Set?” before almost every Pokemon battle.
* CharacterDevelopment: Done HARD with Mike's descent into insanity. The writer claimed he was not happy with Mike's potential as a [[MartyStu Gary Sue]], and decided to expand on his backstory, and twist the barely mentioned childhood crush into something much [[DarkerandEdgier darker]].
* ChivalrousPervert: Mike can be seen as quite the ladies man because early on in the story he had as many as [[LoveDodecahedron three girls crushing on him at one time]].
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: It is a bit jarring seeing a completely stable Mike early in the story, especially when you know how bad it is going to [[ForegoneConclusion hit the fan later]].
* CruelMercy: What Mike claims to be doing when he savagely beats members of Team Magma during his [[RedemptionQuest quest to bring Maxie to justice]], saying that he is saving them from eventually being used like he was. The extent of his violence makes this a bit of a hard pill to swallow, however.
* DeathByOriginStory: [[spoiler: His father. Mike's father went to the Sky Pillar and summoned Rayquaza, which stopped the feuding Groudon and Kyogre from further destroying Lilycove, but he never returned and is presumed dead.]]
* Determinator: It has always been hard to convince Mike against doing what he thinks is a good idea, and since his
* [[spoiler: DramaticIrony: Despite having a great admiration and love for fire and fire Pokemon, when he was revived and discovered he had pyrokenisis, his initial reaction was one of horror, as he felt it was now impossible to be close to those he cared about. His opinion of it began to shift slightly when he found out he could now hug and pet his Fire Pokemon without harm.]]
