1[[foldercontrol]]
2
3[[folder:Misty Waterflower]]
4Ash's first female companion, who (along with her Pokémon) is Reminded of the old timeline thanks to Ash's aura. She once again joins Ash on his initial journey throughout Kanto.
5-----
6* AdaptationalBadass:
7** In the original anime, she's just a Water-Type Gym Leader who is Ash's traveling companion. Here, she has aura training thanks to Ash, [[spoiler:and is now '''''a member of the Elite Four''''']].
8** Prominent examples are the couple of times that she faces Ash in a serious battle; she nearly defeats him in Cerulean [[spoiler:and does defeat him in the Whirl Cup, [[StunnedSilence to everyone's astonishment]]]], and she manages to fight [[Anime/{{Pokemon3}} Molly's]] superpowerful Unown-created Pokémon to more-or-less a draw.
9* AdaptationalJobChange: She joins [[spoiler:the Kanto-Johto Elite Four]] in this timeline.
10* BadassNormal: In terms of team composition, she has no [[OlympusMons Legendaries]] and only a single [[SuperMode Mega Evolution]] available, but she's still achieved all of the above.
11* BringingInTheExpert: Ensures that, when Ash and co. [[Anime/PokemonRangerAndTheTempleOfTheSea go to find Samiya]] this time, she's present to supply her expertise.
12* ButForMeItWasTuesday: While people are shocked when things happen around Ash and co., Misty is one of those who doesn't even bat an eye. To her, it might as well be a morning routine.
13* CrazyPrepared: Her team has a ''lot'' of ways to deal with Electric-types. Justified as one of her usual sparring partners is [[PersonOfMassDestruction Pikachu]].
14* CurbStompBattle: Remember the Invincible Pokémon Brothers who tried to to take over her Gym? Yeah, not so invincible now, are you?
15* FamedInStory: On top of being one of the Cerulean City Gym Leaders and Ash's traveling companions, Misty becomes famous in her own right after [[spoiler:she joins the Elite Four. In fact, she arguably gets the most attention out of all the new members since she one of the youngest members of the Elite Four there's ever been, being not much older than Ash]].
16* HopelessBossFight: She was originally going to give Ash one in order to teach him humility, but Ash, being [[IdiotHero Ash]], [[ComicallyMissingThePoint missed the point]] and his determination to win brought the roof down - specifically, the roof of Misty's Gym.
17* InSpiteOfANail: Despite Ash's best efforts, her bike is still destroyed, unfortunately.
18* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Downplayed in that she acclimates rather quickly, but Misty was the second major traveling companion to stop traveling with Ash. That means she's not prepared for many of things he had to deal with in his later journeys, including a more competent Team Rocket and (more glaringly) Hunter J, who still proves herself to be a major threat even with Ash's oldest and strongest Pokémon by his side.
19* MamaBear: Is ''very'' protective of Togekiss. She doesn't like when Togekiss goes off to save the day without telling her, and makes sure the gang's visit to the Mirage Kingdom ends with her able to keep Togekiss instead of having to leave her there.
20* OneHeroHoldTheWeaksauce: Her all-Water-type team is theoretically weak to Electric attacks. Emphasis on theoretically. In practice, Electric-type attacks get neutralized in a myriad of ways because she regularly spars with Ash's Pikachu, who is one of the strongest and most skilled electric-types in the ''world''.
21* TheMole: [[spoiler:Infiltrated Team Aqua to try and stop them from bringing back Kyogre.]]
22* SeenItAll: After seeing Legendaries and going through potentially world-breaking adventures in the original timeline, nothing surprises she and the rest of her friends anymore. The fact that they don't move an eyelid to what's going on tends to shock those who aren't used to the sheer level of weirdness they go through.
23* ShamuFu: Misty hits Brock with her Goldeen whenever he starts going gaga around women. [[spoiler:Once Brock settles down with a single girlfriend, this gag is dropped entirely]].
24* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Is one of the candidates to replace ''Lorelei of the Elite Four'']].
25** [[spoiler:And by the Silver Conference, '''she ''does'''''.]]
26* TrueCompanions: Ash, Misty, and Brock were pretty close friends in the original timeline, but they become even more so after Ash [[TimeTravel travels back through time]] and restores Misty and Brock's memories of him. Of course, the trope extends to the trio's other traveling companions, [[HonoraryTrueCompanion including the Rocket Trio]].
27* WalkOnWater: Was taught to do this using Aura by Ash, alongside a number of his Pokemon. She may be one of the few of his friends, if not the only one, to have achieved this, as only she's been shown doing it.
28* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Is terrified of Bug-Types, just like her incarnation from the original timeline. [[spoiler:Ash later used Aura Purge on her to help her overcome her phobia (read: [[BattleInTheCenterOfTheMind beat it out of her]])]].
29[[/folder]]
30
31[[folder:Misty's Pokémon]]
32!!Goldeen[[spoiler:/Seaking]]
33
34One of Misty's original Pokémon, a Water-type goldfish Pokémon with a prominent horn on her forehead.
35
36Her ability is Lightningrod.
37-----
38* ElementalAbsorption: Has the Lightningrod Ability, making her one of Misty's main anti-Electric teammembers.
39* NoSell: [[spoiler:During Misty's E4 Qualifier battle against Raikou,]] Goldeen [[spoiler:evolves into Seaking and]] gains the aforementioned Lightningrod, which lets her absorb a Thunderbolt intended for Gyarados.
40* ShamuFu: Was used by Misty to whack some sense into her companions in the early parts of the story.
41
42!!Staryu
43
44One of Misty's original Pokémon, a Water-type starfish Pokémon.
45-----
46* GeoEffects: Cutting Water Dance creates a super-fine mist that shorts out Electric moves across the whole battlefield.
47
48!!Starmie
49One of Misty's original Pokémon, a Water/Psychic-type starfish Pokémon.
50
51!!Horsea/Seadra[[spoiler:/Kingdra]]
52One of Misty's original Pokémon, a Water-type ([[spoiler:Water/Dragon-type in its final form]]) seahorse Pokémon.
53-----
54
55!!Psyduck[[spoiler:/Golduck]]
56One of Misty's original Pokémon whom she originally caught accidentally and unwillingly, a Water-type duck Pokémon.
57-----
58* FourthWallObserver: Along with Abra and Arceus.
59* IronicFear: Hates water, despite being a Water-type [[spoiler: and especially despite his evolution being a very good swimmer.]]
60* SuperDrowningSkills: Insists he has this, [[spoiler: even after his evolution.]]
61* TheReliableOne: Helped manage Misty's bills and mail [[spoiler: while she was undercover in Team Aqua]]. It's very distinct from his canonically ditzy personality. [[spoiler: Though in canon he never learned Calm Mind nor evolved.]]
62* ThrowingOffTheDisability: He became a lot more coherent after learning how to control his headaches via Calm Mind. He has to bring the headaches back in order to tap into his psychic powers, but he's okay with that.
63** [[spoiler: This is now a non-issue due to evolving into Golduck.]] He still can't swim, though.
64
65!!Togekiss
66One of Misty's original Pokémon who bonded with her when she hatched from an egg, a formerly Normal/Flying-type who became Fairy/Flying-type.
67
68-----
69* BadassAdorable: Became this after [[spoiler: Ho-Oh taught her Sacred Fire.]]
70* CosmicRetcon: Due to Ash breaking time, Togekiss was retconned into being Flying/Fairy. It was a strange experience for Togekiss to suddenly be a different type without evolving.
71* LikeADaughterToMe: Misty sees her as her own daughter. Likewise, the feeling is mutual; Togekiss regards her trainer as [[ParentalSubstitute her mother]].
72* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler: Sacred Fire, a gift from Ho-Oh. See below.]]
73* SuperEmpowering: [[spoiler:Was taught Sacred Fire by Ho-Oh himself as a birthday present to Togekiss.]]
74
75!!Gyarados
76Reminded of the old timeline.
77-----
78* TheBigGuy: Misty's other Pokémon can be quite strong, but Gyarados is typically brought out for situations that need a lot of power.
79* SuperMode: [[spoiler:The Lake of Rage incident ends with Misty getting a Keystone and Gyarados getting Gyaradosite.]]
80
81!!Politoed
82Reminded of the old timeline.
83
84His ability is Water Absorb.
85-----
86* ElementalAbsorption: Has Water Absorb Ability, allowing him to heal from water attacks.
87
88!!Kabuto[[spoiler:/Kabutops]]
89-----
90* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Is ''very'' grateful towards Misty for her kindness to a [[FishOutOfTemporalWater time-displaced fossil]] like him. This pushes him to fight really hard for her, and it shows.
91* OriginalCharacter: Wasn't around in the original timeline.
92* TheQuietOne: Typically communicates with clicks and is rarely, if ever, heard speaking. [[spoiler: That is, until he evolves into Kabutops.]]
93* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:After evolving, most of his fights afterwards are against Legendaries, and he always holds his own]].
94
95!!Corsola
96Reminded of the old timeline.
97
98!!Chinchou
99-----
100* OriginalCharacter: Wasn't around in the original timeline.
101
102!![[spoiler: Milotic]]
103-----
104* OriginalCharacter: Wasn't around in the original timeline. She was used as Misty's main battling Pokémon [[spoiler: during her time undercover in Team Aqua so that she wouldn't be recognized]].
105
106!!Azurill
107Reminded of the old timeline.
108
109!! Caserin (Luvdisc)
110Reminded of the old timeline.
111[[/folder]]
112
113-----
114
115[[folder:Brock Slate]]
116Ash's first constant male companion throughout most of the series. Like Misty, he and his Pokémon is Reminded of the old timeline thanks to Ash, and rejoins Ash on their traveling adventures.
117
118Accomplishments:
119
120* Kanto Ribbons: Cerulean City (222).
121
122-----
123* AdaptationalBadass: Brock is as skilled as ever, but it's shown most during the Orange Islands. In an OffscreenMomentOfAwesome, Brock fought off a bunch of Unown... with a [[VideoGame/HalfLife crowbar]]. [[spoiler:That later results in him commencing a serious romance with Professor Ivy, which is still going even now]]. Again, not even getting into his team...though on the note of said team, a RunningGag is that he's a Rock-type expert that doesn't have many Rock-types. He eventually relinquishes that title for saying he's an expert in unpredictability instead, [[spoiler:due to his Pokémon capable of using illusions, such as Ninetales and Stantler]].
124* AcquiredPoisonImmunity: With so many of his team utilizing illusions, he's gotten really used to subconsciously navigating around them, such that a wild group of Stantler using illusions on him doesn't even break his stride.
125* ButForMeItWasTuesday: While people are shocked when things happen around Ash and co., Brock is one of those who doesn't even bat an eye. To him, it might as well be a morning routine.
126* CasanovaWannabe: Just like his incarnation from the original timeline, Brock flirts with (and fails to attract) every pretty woman he sees. [[spoiler: This was later revealed during the Orange Islands arc to be an attempt to rebuild his broken heart, after failing to save [[TheLostLenore Ivy]] from the same [[FreakLabAccident Unown-created accident]] that trapped [[Anime/{{Pokemon3}} Spencer Hale]] in a pocket dimension in the original timeline. Brock thought she died, and his resulting psychological trauma caused him to have extreme negative reactions whenever people bring up Ivy's name]]. As of the Johto arc onward, he has hooked up with Ivy and this is no longer the case, much to the disbelief of Ash's later companions.
127* CrowbarCombatant: A crowbar is his weapon of choice which sees combat when Brock needs to whack any unruly Unown. [[IKnowMaddenKombat He says he used to play baseball in school.]]
128* TheLostLenore: [[spoiler: Professor Ivy, whom Brock truly loved and [[MyGreatestFailure failed to save from being trapped in a pocket dimension by the Unown]]. Fortunately, Ash's time-traveling allowed him to set things right and save her the second time around]].
129* MrExposition: As a Rock-type specialist (despite what his team might lead you to believe), he has a lot of knowledge of geological formations and how they form (though not to the extent of Steven Stone). This makes him the person to explain a lot of [[ShownTheirWork the author's actual knowledge of geology]].
130* MyGreatestFailure: Remember his return at the end of the Orange Islands and the hilarious RunningGag of him reacting badly to Ivy's name? We finally find out what happened. [[spoiler: The thing that happened to Spencer Hale happened to her, he couldn't save her, and he thought she was dead... [[YouBastard Still find that funny]]?]]
131** MyGreatestSecondChance: ...which gives him a chance to prevent the second time around.
132* OfficialCouple: With Professor Ivy. Ash, Misty and all their future companions can't believe it.
133* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: He's starting to feel this way about having more illusion Pokemon on his team than Rock-types.
134** It was so bad that even in the previous timeline, Dawn didn't realize he was a Rock-type specialist.
135* OutOfFocus: Kinda. While he's still ''there'', of course, there isn't as much focus on his growth as there is on Ash and Misty, as his talents are more geared towards Pokémon care than they are towards battling, regardless of the fact that he's a former Gym Leader.
136* PoorPredictableRock: Subverted. He's supposed to be a Rock-type Gym Leader, but only a quarter of his current team even qualifies. [[LampshadeHanging This has not gone without notice]]. During the ''Jirachi: Wish Maker'' arc, he even says his type specialty is "being misleading", [[spoiler:due to having more Pokémon who use illusions than Rock-types]].
137* SecretTestOfCharacter: Because he is a Gym Leader deals with Rock-Type Pokémon, his Gym specializes in teaching trainers the lesson of Endurance.
138* SeenItAll: After seeing Legendaries and going through potentially world-breaking adventures in the original timeline, nothing surprises he and the rest of his friends anymore. The fact that they don't move an eyelid to what's going on tends to shock those who aren't used to the sheer level of weirdness they go through.
139* SingleTargetSexuality: Ever since he got together with Professor Ivy, his flirting antics are practically non-existent, much to the shock of the rest of Ash and Co.
140** In fact, he now has to be pointed out when someone's flirting with him.
141* SupremeChef: Even Legendaries are impressed by his cooking.
142* TrueCompanions: Ash, Misty, and Brock were pretty close friends in the original timeline, but they become even more so after Ash [[TimeTravel travels back through time]] and restores Misty and Brock's memories of him. Of course, the trope extends to the trio's other traveling companions, [[HonoraryTrueCompanion including the Rocket Trio]].
143[[/folder]]
144
145[[folder:Brock's Pokémon]]
146!!Geodude
147Reminded of the old timeline.
148----
149* DishingOutDirt: Although this is to be expected by virtue of his typing, one of his training goals is to be able to out-and-out use [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Earthbending]] via his Stone Edge move.
150** Finally achieves a breakthrough thanks to Steven Stone.
151* MundaneUtility: Due to his Bending skills, he is often the one to help the team get around obstacles via earth platforms, bridges or structures.
152* ShapingYourAttacks: By virtue of the above training skill, he does this a lot.
153* WrongGenreSavvy: Asks some ninjas the group meets for help using [[Anime/{{Naruto}} doton]] techniques. The ninja he's asking clarifies that they're more StealthExpert than ''Magazine/ShonenJump''.
154
155!!Steelix
156Brock's Starter.
157Reminded of the old timeline.
158-----
159* SapientSteed: Used like an [=APC=] often, the most notable instance being ''Heroes''.
160* [[spoiler:SuperMode: Receives Steelixite courtesy of Steven Stone.]]
161* TheWorfEffect: His first [[spoiler: Mega Evolved]] battle ends with him [[TakingTheBullet Taking The Blast Burn]] and getting blown off a cliff after just a few moments.
162
163!!Crobat
164Reminded of the old timeline.
165-----
166* OutOfFocus: Brock mainly uses Steelix and Ninetales, and Stantler and Geodude are seen reasonably often as well. Crobat has been used only very rarely since capture, especially compared to how much it was used after evolving in the show.
167* SuperSenses: His sonar has proven really effective when facing off against other illusion-users.
168* TheWorfEffect: He hasn't really had much success in battle either.
169
170!!Vulpix[[spoiler:/Ninetales]]
171Reminded of the old timeline.
172-----
173* BattleCouple: With Growlie. Any time Ash teams up with the Rocket Trio the two fight side by side.
174* CombatPragmatist: As far as she's concerned, if the other guy is even aiming for the right place things have gone wrong.
175* DatingCatwoman: She's happily seeing James' Growlie. Then again, this is kind of debatable seeing as the Team Rocket trio is ultimately on Ash's side.
176* MasterOfIllusion: Frequently makes use of her illusions in battle.
177* NoSell: Flash Fire makes her completely immune to fire attacks.
178* PlayingWithFire: If she's not using illusions, she's throwing around Flamethrowers. Sometimes she does both.
179* SquishyWizard: Averted. You'd expect an illusionist who mainly attacks with fire and "supernatural" effects to be weak in melee. You'd be very wrong, as she gets quite a bit of close quarters practice with Growlie.
180
181!!Forretress
182Reminded of the old timeline.
183-----
184* ActionBomb: Exploding is her thing, as in canon.
185* ActionGirl: She was revealed to be female in her debut.
186
187!!Stantler
188
189His ability is Sap Sipper.
190-----
191* AscendedExtra: Originally appeared early in Johto and returned to his herd at the end of the episode. Here, he decides to join Brock's team.
192* ElementalAbsorption: Has Sap Sipper, which turns all Grass-type moves used against him into stat boosts.
193* MasterOfIllusion: Not quite a master yet, but he's working on it.
194** With a bit of practice, he's capable of layering illusions on top of each other.
195
196!!Ludicolo
197Reminded of the old timeline.
198-----
199* GratuitousSpanish: His species is based on a Mexican dancer, after all.
200
201!!Marshtomp
202Reminded of the old timeline.
203-----
204* ExtremityExtremist: Prefers punching to ranged or other attacks. He's actually one of the few Pokémon who isn't that enthused about expanding his moveset, [[CripplingOverspecialization which has led to problems when it comes to Flying-types]].
205
206!!Flygon
207-----
208* AscendedExtra: Was a local Pokémon from Forina who decided to follow Brock after the events of [[Anime/PokemonJirachiWishmaker Jirachi: Wish Maker]].
209* DigAttack: As a once-Trapinch, he can do this, despite having wings.
210* SapientSteed: Brock's new primary mode of air travel.
211
212!![[spoiler: Zorua]]
213-----
214* BigEater: Being a former wild Pokemon, and used to food being scarce, having access to Brock's amazing cooking means that she'll not only scarf down her ''own'' share, but try and shapeshift into other members of the group and get their shares. Ninetales jokes at one point that unless she stops, she'll only be able to turn into Munchlax.
215* CaptainCrash: Though she can fly by shapeshifting into a Pokémon with wings, landing is a different story.
216* MasterOfIllusion: [[spoiler: It's a trait of the species. Her disguise abilities resulted in her being caught by Professor Ivy for Brock, thinking she was a Rockruff. Brock, when he finds out, is rather amused.]]
217* OriginalCharacter: Didn't exist in canon.
218* ThePrankster: Occasionally pulls pranks. For example, she once impersonated the Rockruff that Ivy sent to Brock, and another time she pretended to be a sombrero for two hours as part of a plan she and Casper cooked up.
219* TastesLikeFriendship: One main factor for her joining Brock's team is Brock's cooking.
220* VoluntaryShapeshifting: One of her main powers.
221
222!!Sudowoodo
223Reminded of the old timeline.
224-----
225* DishingOutDirt: Brock's first Rock-type since Geodude. Of course, since he looks like a tree, everyone reminds Brock that he ''still'' fits into the trickery theme.
226
227!!Rockruff
228She's a real one this time, caught for him by Professor Ivy and picked up while he was visiting before heading off to Sinnoh.
229-----
230* DishingOutDirt: Pure Rock-Type.
231* SandIsWater: Can use Aura to swim through earth like water.
232
233!!Croagunk
234Reminded of the old timeline.
235-----
236* BackStab: Or Back "Punch" in this case; he's uncannily good at sneaking up on targets to be Poison Jabbed, but with Brock no longer a consistent target, he now uses Ash to help him get used to surprise attacks.
237* DopeSlap: After getting over the news about Philena, he now says he'll Poison Jab Brock if he looks at other women ''too long''.
238** And then it extends to Ash after he asks for help responding to surprise attacks.
239* {{Fainting}}: Does this when he hears that his trainer finally has a girlfriend.
240
241!!Chansey
242Reminded of the old timeline.
243-----
244* SeenItAll: Her response to being told they've time-travelled is, "I suppose we ''were'' overdue."
245* TheMedic: One of the Pokémon available with reliable healing moves.
246
247!![[spoiler:Heatran]]
248-----
249* AscendedExtra: Once belonged to [[spoiler: Marcus]], but decided to wait for Ash and Co. after being impressed with Brock's team's cooperation, and decided to travel with him after meeting him again in [[spoiler: the present]].
250* OlympusMons: A minor Legendary, but a Legendary nonetheless.
251* TheSlowPath: [[spoiler: He hibernated in Michina for centuries, all to meet Brock again after they returned to the present]].
252[[/folder]]
253
254-----
255
256[[folder:Tracey Sketchit]]
257Another of Ash's companions who is Reminded of the old timeline. He travels with Ash and Misty during the Orange Islands arc before settling down as Professor Oak's assistant (again).
258
259* OutOfFocus: Since a lot of the action is where Ash is, Tracey doesn't get a lot of screentime once the Orange Islands Arc ends.
260* TheMentor: To Molly during her studies to become a Trainer before the age of ten. Gary takes over the role when she heads off to Sinnoh with him.
261* TookALevelInBadass: Thanks to Ash, his Scyther evolves into a Scizor, strengthening him up enough to counter his old age.
262[[/folder]]
263
264-----
265
266[[folder:May Maple]]
267One of Ash's Hoenn traveling companions, an extremely talented coordinator and the daughter of Petalburg's Gym Leader, Norman. Appeared towards the end of the Orange Islands arc while on vacation and witnessed Ash's battle with the Orange Crew Leader Drake, alongside her little brother Max. Seeing them, Ash decided to preemptively Remind her of the old timeline, and they later joined Ash for his Hoenn League Challenge.
268
269Accomplishments:
270
271* Hoenn Ribbons: Slateport City (126), Verdanturf City (142), Rubello Town (149), Mossdeep City (167), Pacifidlog Town (176). Hoenn Grand Festival Top Coordinator.
272* Kanto Ribbons: Saffron City (202), Silver Town (207), Wisteria Town (211), Chrysanthemum Island[[note]]Unconfirmed[[/note]] (217), ? (219). Kanto Grand Festival Runner-Up.
273
274-----
275* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Appears two regions before her canon appearance.
276* AttackPatternAlpha: Instead of [[CallingYourAttacks calling Pokémon attacks]], she has pre-devised battle strategies and attack combinations worked out with her Pokémon, allowing them to perform whole attack chains with just one command that are both unexpected and look extremely good.
277* DamselOutOfDistress: When she gets captured by some thieves, she makes use of the starter Pokémon that were captured with her to escape, and even when she gets discovered, manages to hold them off until TheCavalry arrives.
278* IndyPloy: Enjoys improvisation; one of her Contest strategies is to make use of [[RandomEffectSpell Munchlax's Metronome or Skitty's Assist]] and then go from there.
279* MamaBear: Is ''very'' protective of [[spoiler:Manaphy]]. When [[spoiler:Phantom]] captures [[spoiler:Manaphy]], May gives him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown to rescue her baby.
280* TookALevelInBadass: Starts learning martial arts from Blaziken.
281* UnskilledButStrong: Counts when the rudimentary martial art katas she had learned thus far from Blaziken get combined with [[spoiler: [[SuperEmpowering Samiya's Enhance mode]], allowing her to dismantle Captain Phantom's PoweredArmor with her bare hands [[MamaBear to save Manaphy]]]].
282[[/folder]]
283
284[[folder:May's Pokémon]]
285!!Ethan (Porygon/[[spoiler:[=Porygon2=]]])
286-----
287* BarrierWarrior: Can use Reflect and Light Screen for a variety of uses, including mid-air walls or stepping stones.
288* FunWithSubtitles: [[spoiler: After evolving, he can project subtitles [[HeadsUpDisplay in front of May's eyes.]] Or anyone's eyes, in fact]].
289* GravityMaster: With the move Gravity, he can not only pull Pokémon harder to the ground, but he can also create horizontal and even reverse gravity.
290* MechanicalEvolution[=/=]GrewBeyondTheirProgramming: [[spoiler:Optimizing his processors to remote-control a robot battalion in Anime/PokemonDestinyDeoxys is what triggers his digital evolution.]]
291* OriginalCharacter: Didn't exist in canon.
292* ShapeshifterWeapon: By reformatting his vector body shapes with Sharpen, he can turn into a variety of objects, even InstantArmor for Blaziken.
293** His battle in the Wallace Cup involved him shapeshifting into an entire fleet of {{Cool Plane}}s from all corners of history, from biplanes to jet fighters to even space fighters.
294* TranslatorBuddy: Serves as one for May until she masters the Aura translation trick.
295
296!!Blaziken
297May's Starter. Reminded of the old timeline.
298
299His abilities are Blaze (known in the original timeline) and Speed Boost (activated when he needed to save May from some kidnappers).
300-----
301%%* DanceBattler
302* HeyYouHaymaker: Gives one to the Magma grunt for cutting their cable car cable.
303* MundaneUtility: Uses his wrist flames to keep mugs of cocoa hot as he carries them.
304* NotQuiteFlight: Can't technically speaking fly, but can casually jump hundreds of feet and change course midair.
305* PedestrianCrushesCar: He's hit cars, trucks and ''helicopters'', and they've all come out distinctly second best.
306* SheFu: Despite being male, his fighting style contains more than a few handstands, backflips and acrobatics. Then again, he is being trained by a Coordinator and such a style looks ''good'' to watch.
307* SuperSpeed: His Speed Boost ability gives him enough pace to outrun [[spoiler: Entei]].
308** SpeedBlitz: What happens to anyone who lets his ability build up. Blaziken ends up fast enough to land solid hits on an entire team before the first one hit can recover, and to interrupt incoming attacks with his own.
309* TraumaticSuperpowerAwakening: Downplayed; in trying to run after some kidnappers' getaway truck that had also kidnapped May, he unlocks his Hidden Ability of Speed Boost and catches up ''fast''.
310
311!!Beautifly
312Reminded of the old timeline.
313-----
314* CallingTheOldManOut: Gives one to Blaziken when she notices he's being too overprotective to May for their own good.
315* StickySituation: A combination of Silver Wind and String Shot can turn the entire area into a glitter-glue mess.
316
317!!Skitty
318Reminded of the old timeline.
319-----
320* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Like in canon, anything shiny enough to catch her eye is going to be played with until something else comes up.
321* AttentionWhore: Downplayed; she gets a little irritated when May and Max don't have time to show affection to her, and instead show it to other Pokémon. Luckily, a few little strokes in the right place easily turns her into a purring fuzzball.
322* CatsHateWater: Displays this tendency a few times.
323* CuteKitten: As to be expected.
324* HiddenHeartOfGold: She may be a little self-obsessed sometimes, but when it comes to her friends and teammates, her supportive personality really shines through.
325* RandomEffectSpell: Her Assist, which can even make her use moves from Ash's substantial and utterly ''crazy'' team.
326* ValleyGirl: To Ash and his team's dismay, leading Ash to suggest to May that she not learn to speak with Skitty. The author mused that he might have to apologize for this.
327** LikeIsLikeAComma: The most common manifestation. Mawile tries to get to the bottom of why she does this, and it's pretty clear that Skitty might not even realize that she's doing it.
328* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: May notes in 219 that she's starting to rely on Assist a bit too much, and resolves to use some [=TMs=] to vary her movepool up a bit.
329
330!!Swablu/Altaria
331-----
332* AscendedExtra: Agrees to join May after he is nursed back to health, unlike in canon.
333* MusicalAssassin: Primarily uses sound-based moves like Sing and Disarming Voice in battle.
334* SapientSteed: After evolving, he wants to be this for May. Unfortunately, May's fear of heights makes this difficult.
335* SuperMode: [[spoiler:May finds an Altarianite, but their bond has too many issues for them to yet Mega Evolve... until their appeal at the Grand Festival]].
336
337!!Glaceon
338Reminded of the old timeline.
339-----
340* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: One whole region before her debut. [[spoiler: Who'd have guessed Drew's newly-caught Leafeon would be her mother?]]
341* NotQuiteFlight: Can move through the air on an ice-path generated from her paws.
342
343!!Venusaur
344Reminded of the old timeline.
345-----
346* CoolBigSis: Has this air towards the other members of her team.
347* GeoEffects: Has Nature Power, and one of her tactics is to manually alter the battlefield to get the effect she wants.
348* StatusBuff: Can use Growth to increase her size.
349* SuperMode: [[spoiler:May acquired a Venusaurite for her during her Johto travels, which is first revealed to her friends shortly after the Wallace Cup.]]
350
351!!Spoink/[[spoiler:Grumpig]]
352-----
353* AccidentalKidnapping: Is caught by May by complete accident, when he mistakes a pink Love Ball on her person as his pearl.
354* AmplifierArtifact: Spoink's pearl enhances his PsychicPowers, which means he initially sees it as a bit of a crutch. He gets extremely flustered and short-sighted whenever he loses it, which [[TheKlutz happens a fair bit]].
355* AscendedExtra: Appears in a couple of canon episodes, but is caught by May this time around.
356* JuggleFu: With his PsychicPowers, he can juggle several objects, his pearl, and even ''himself''.
357* LimbSensationFascination: [[spoiler:Fascinated with his legs after evolution]].
358* PsychoactivePowers: Spoink's psychic powers are tied to his confidence, but they often take a nosedive whenever he loses his pearl. Once he overcomes it and no longer sees it as necessary, this eventually leads [[spoiler: to his evolution]].
359
360!!Munchlax
361Reminded of the old timeline.
362-----
363* ConfusionFu: With his [[RandomEffectSpell Metronome]], the unpredictability perfectly complements May's IndyPloy strategies.
364* ObsessedWithFood: May's strategy names for him are even named after berry flavors.
365
366!!Wartortle
367Reminded of the old timeline.
368-----
369* CrazyPrepared: Carries pre-made musical number parts to use in {{Training Montage}}s.
370* ShapingYourAttacks: Can shape the water she uses into constructs, like wings.
371* WhiteSheep: Is the only member of the Squirtle line to date that is ''not'' {{Otaku}}ing over anything. Or at least that's what ''[[UnreliableNarrator she]]'' says - the fact that she has sheet music on-hand for songs like ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Mulan}} I'll Make a Man Out of You]]'', and that she helped [[spoiler: Manaphy]] learn waterbending by [[WesternAnimation/TheLittleMermaid1989 singing how it's better underwater in a funny accent]] says something different.
372** Several of the group's other Pokemon assumed her obsession was WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender, due to her ShapingYourAttacks being much like waterbending. Wartortle says she's never heard of it.
373
374!![[spoiler: Manaphy]]
375Reminded of the old timeline.
376-----
377* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: [[spoiler: Lugia]] dropped off his egg long before his movie started.
378* DamselOutOfDistress: GenderInverted, [[spoiler:in 212, the Phantom Pirates manage to capture him, but he manages to escape on his own]].
379* ElementalShapeshifting: Knows Acid Armour.
380* FreakyFridayFlip: Via [[spoiler: Heart Swap]].
381* LikeASonToMe: For May.
382* OlympusMons: Another Legendary Pokémon owned by a main character.
383* ShapingYourAttacks: Learned how to make water wings from Wartortle. And that's only the start of his [[MakingASplash waterbending]].
384
385!!Joltik
386-----
387* FluffyDryCat: Her effect on May's hair. As predicted by Absol.
388* HeadPet: Small enough to be carried around on May's head or shoulders.
389* ICantHearYou: She's so tiny that the others can barely hear her, even when she's shouting.
390* OriginalCharacter: May didn't have her in canon; she was got at the daycare where she got Glaceon in the original timeline.
391* ThePhilosopher: Her train of thought often goes off into bents of philosophy, much like a [[Manga/GhostInTheShell Tachikoma AI]].
392-->'''Pikachu:''' You're so small you can use a coin as a bed.
393-->'''Joltik:''' Yes. The juxtaposition of a symbol of profit and the gentle repose of the individual is an odd one, but I don't think it has any significance worthy of note.
394* SecretWeapon: Is used as this against Solidad at the Kanto Grand Festival; since May has never used her before, [[AwesomenessByAnalysis Solidad]] can't prepare for her.
395* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Thanks to said philosophical mindset, she can get overly verbose.

400[[folder:Max Maple]]
401Another of Ash's (future) traveling companions, a child prodigy with an encyclopaedic-level of Pokémon knowledge. He is the son of Petalburg's Gym Leader, Norman, and the younger brother of May Maple. He appeared towards the end of the Orange Islands arc along with his sister, and is Reminded of the old timeline by Ash. Ash has also filed paperwork to allow him to start his Pokémon journey early as an "apprentice" of sorts, for when they begin traveling together again.
402
403Accomplishments:
404
405* Hoenn Badges: Stone Badge (121), Knuckle Badge (124), Dynamo Badge (132), Heat Badge (139), Balance Badge (144), Feather Badge (155), Mind Badge (169), Rain Badge (172). Did not finish the Ever Grande Conference [[spoiler: due to the Delta Episode interrupting]].
406* Kanto Badges: Marsh Badge (203), Heart Badge (206), Rainbow Badge (209), Soul Badge (210), Yin and Yang Badge (212), Cascade Badge (221), Boulder Badge (224), Volcano Badge (240). Indigo Conference Top 16 (247).
407* Johto Badges: Storm Badge (253)
408
409-----
410* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Appears two regions before his canon appearance.
411* BadassAdorable: Not even the right age to become a Trainer, and yet still makes it to the Ever Grande Conference and the Top 16 of the Indigo Conference on his first runs.
412* BadassBookworm: He combines brains with brawn in his battles.
413* {{Hoist By His Own Petard}}/{{Surprisingly Realistic Outcome}}: [[spoiler: By the time of the Indigo League, he's used his wrong-name trick so many times, Iwalani figures out what's going on by watching the League battles on TV and when Max tries the trick when Iwalani has her Decidueye use Toxic, Arc is hit and badly poisoned]].
414* TheNicknamer: The only one of the main protagonists who seems to enjoy giving his Pokémon nicknames, and the more meaningful the better.
415* PersonOfMassDestruction: In the Hoenn League he shows signs of following in Ash's footsteps of destroying battlefields.
416* YouCalledMeXItMustBeSerious: Adapted this and his preference for [[TheNicknamer nicknames]] into a battle tactic - whenever he calls his Pokémon by their species name instead of their nickname, it means he wants them to do the opposite of what he orders them to do, which can throw off opponents. [[spoiler: Bites him in the butt when he does it against Iwalani]].
417[[/folder]]
418
419[[folder:Max's Pokémon]]
420!!Kris (Porygon)
421Max's first Pokémon, courtesy of Ash.
422-----
423* AdaptiveAbility: Makes the most use of Conversion and [=Conversion2=] out of all the Porygon.
424* OriginalCharacter: Didn't exist in canon.
425* TheLittleDetecto: Gets loaded with Mega Stone detection software courtesy of Mr. Stone.
426* TranslatorBuddy: Serves as one for Max until he masters the Aura translation trick.
427
428!!Arc (Electrike/Manectric)
429
430Max's starter.
431
432His ability is Lightningrod.
433-----
434* BigFriendlyDog: Can take on this air at times, especially after evolving.
435* ElementalAbsorption: Has the Lightningrod Ability.
436* NitroBoost: As typical of his evolutionary line, he can channel his electricity into his muscles for a burst of speed, commonly used for [[RammingAlwaysWorks ramming]].
437* RunningGag: While he settled on Arc as a nickname, it took him a while, requiring Max to often take out a list of nicknames so that he could make up his mind: Watt, Ohm, Volta, Coulomb...
438* SuperMode: [[spoiler: Right after evolving, he manages to Mega Evolve via the Manectite gotten [[ChekhovsGun all the way back in the Sea Mauville.]]]]
439
440!!Guy (Shroomish/Breloom)
441
442His ability is Poison Heal.
443-----
444* AscendedExtra: In the original timeline, he just befriended Max. This time around, due to Max being a full-fledged trainer, he can join his team.
445* TheBigGuy: The CloseRangeCombatant out of Max's team, and the one with the most raw muscle.
446* FantasticFightingStyle: [[GoodThingYouCanHeal Since he can just regenerate damage]], Primeape is helping him develop a strength-focused fighting style that does not care about taking damage to dish it out.
447* [[FeedItWithFire Feed It With Poison]]: Has the ability Poison Heal, and carries a Toxic Orb to make full use of it.
448* {{Homage}}: He was named after [[{{Manga/Naruto}} Might Guy]]. His fighting style even resembles Might Guy's Goken (Strong Fist).
449* MeteorMove: His Leaf Storm and Leaf Tornado [[AttackPatternAlpha striking combos]], another {{Homage}} to his namesake. Opponents facing him often prepare for the actual moves until they realize that Breloom can't learn them.
450* PunnyName: Guy. [[DontExplainTheJoke As in, Fungi/Fun Guy]].
451* ThrowDownTheBomblet: How he uses his Seed Bombs.
452
453!!Cinder (Poochyena/Mightyena)
454Reminded of the old timeline.
455
456Her abilities are Quick Feet and Moxie.
457-----
458* AscendedExtra: In the original timeline, she just befriended Max. This time around, due to Max being a full-fledged trainer, she can join his team.
459* ButtBiter: She attacks Sabrina's Kadabra this way.
460* CombatPragmatist: Scaring enemies unconscious? Latching on and not letting go? Yep, that's her.
461** She's even capable of using Payback ''before'' an enemy attacks by justifying it as preemptive retribution.
462* IJustWantToBeBadass: She really, ''really'' wanted to evolve. Lucky for her, all she had to do was meet Ash.
463* OneSteveLimit: Why Max does not nickname her "Ash" or "Ashes".
464* TeethClenchedTeamwork: Given that she is a frequent target for Casper's pranks, this is her sentiment when she has to partner with him during the Mossdeep Gym battle.
465* TerrorHero: Plays this up during her battle against Sabrina, scaring her Espeon foe out of his mind to the point that he apparently faints out of sheer ''fear''.
466** In her Dark City Gym battle, her Scrafty opponent elects to [[KnowWhenToFoldEm pretend to faint]] after she threw him around like a rag doll by the tail, and was coming to do more.
467* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Makes use of a lot of biting moves, which allow her to use many different elements while attacking the same way.
468* YouFightLikeACow: How she uses Swagger on her Scyther opponent during the Dark City Gym battle, insulting his abilities as a Flying Type.
469
470!!Delta (Mantyke/Mantine)
471Original to this story, a Water-type (Water/Flying-type post-evolution) manta ray Pokémon.
472-----
473* FlyingSeafoodSpecial: After evolving, he's strong enough to carry Max himself.
474* OriginalCharacter: Didn't exist in canon.
475
476!![[spoiler:Jirachi]]
477A Mythical Steel/Psychic-type Pokémon said to be able to grant any wish, he spends much of his time asleep. Though normally hibernating for a millennium at a time, some cosmic maintenance from Mewtwo's help allowed him to remain active and join Max's team.
478-----
479* AscendedExtra: As with many of Max's Pokémon whom he met in the original series.
480* BigEater: Likes making giant sandwiches.
481* BulletHell: Can create the minefield version using Future Sight.
482* CripplingOverspecialization: See WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer.
483* ImmortalImmaturity: Technically several thousand years old at least, but because he's only been awake a week at a time every millenia, he doesn't ''act'' nearly that old.
484* LiteralGenie: [[spoiler:It's not his fault, but he doesn't fully control his powers; whether it's due to youth or nature is yet to be seen]].
485* OddNameOut: The only one of Max's active roster without a nickname. This is lampshaded a few times, and a few suggestion have been floated by, but nothing's stuck so far.
486* PowerCopying: Knows Skill Swap.
487* PowerIncontinence: Initially suffered a few problems due to [[spoiler: granting every wish he hears, whether he wants to or not]]. This is eventually resolved by [[spoiler: Max wishing that Jirachi would only grant the wishes he wants to grant]].
488* PsychicTeleportation: Due to being a Psychic-Type, he can do this, which runs into problems with the team's Dark-types, since they're immune to all Psychic-Type abilities.
489* TookALevelInBadass: Displays a more varied move pool in Max's Kanto League, including using his teleportation in battle more, Skill Swap, and Hyper Beam.
490* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: He is defeated by Sabrina and Mew because his Future Sight trick is his main attack. Sabrina even lampshades it.
491** The third Sinnoh chapter also brings this up, as he's looking through a TM catalogue to decide what moves he should try and learn to vary his movepool.
492
493!!Casper (Shuppet/Banette)
494Reminded of the old timeline.
495-----
496* AscendedExtra: As with many of Max's Pokémon whom he met in the original series.
497* LimbSensationFascination: Is very happy to have gotten hands after evolving.
498* NegatedMomentOfAwesome: Evolves mid-battle against Sabrina, only to get knocked out.
499* ThePrankster: Is one, with Cinder being a frequent target of his practical humor. This ends up causing problems for Max during the Gym battle against Tate and Liza, [[TeethClenchedTeamwork given that Casper is partnered with Cinder.]]
500* ShoutOut: His name is one to WesternAnimation/CasperTheFriendlyGhost.
501* SuperMode: [[spoiler: The group found a Banettite all the way back in Hoenn, but his and Max's bonds have too many issues for Casper to Mega-Evolve. They finally get it working when he has a Gym Battle against the Sensational Sisters.]]
502* ThinkingUpPortals: An aspect of his Phantom Force move.
503
504!!Roland (Ralts/Kirlia[[spoiler:/Gallade]])
505Reminded of the old timeline.
506-----
507* AscendedExtra: As with many of Max's Pokémon whom he met in the original series.
508* BifurcatedWeapon: [[spoiler: As Gallade]], he's learned how to temporarily fuse his different blade moves into double-sided (if fragile) energy swords, giving him more options in battle.
509* DudeLooksLikeALady: When he evolves into Kirlia. His sister wants to take full advantage and put him in dresses and ribbons she got from May's stuff, much to his dismay.
510* PowerCopying: One of his abilities is Trace.
511* PowerParasite: Knows Snatch.
512* PsychicTeleportation: Learned Teleport between Max first meeting him and the time travel incident.
513* SpellBlade: [[spoiler: After evolving into Gallade]], he's learned a multitude of blade moves that he can imbue his arms with, and swap through them rapidly and at will.
514* TastesLikePurple: Already has a name, but can only be communicated through psychic powers and a number of weird sensations.
515--> '''Max''': Why can I taste caramel and chocolate? And... it sounds kind of like a wind chime, and I think I can see purple?
516* TeleportSpam: [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer He's very good at using them to his full potential]], as shown in his first real battle in the Ever Grande Conference. [[spoiler:After evolving, he forces Forrest, who's using ''Steelix'', to surrender by repeatedly teleporting Steelix up and dropping him into the ground]].
517
518!!Corona (Charmander)
519-----
520* NotQuiteFlight: Combining and {{Shaping| Your Attacks}} her Flare Blitz and Flame Charge into a dragon-shaped BattleAura allows her to take flight, at least for a while.
521* OriginalCharacter: She is a starter Pokémon taken from Professor Oak's lab.
522* WreathedInFlames: Knows Flare Blitz and Flame Charge, which by now have become her primary moves.
523
524!!Ferris (Aron)
525-----
526* ExtremeOmnivore: At one point he has to be stopped from [[EatDirtCheap eating a metal tray]], instead of just the food on it.
527* TheGlomp: Absol predicted "tackle-glomping" as a disaster when Max chose his egg. Considering his weight, that makes sense.
528* LightningBruiser: Has Dragon Rush as an egg move, allowing him to put on a burst of speed and catch his foes off guard.
529* OriginalCharacter: Hatched from an egg Max got at the Pokémon Day Care where his sister originally got her Eevee.
530* PowerUpFood: Has started experimenting with gaining different moves by eating different [[EatDirtCheap metals]], such as gaining Flash from eating magnesium or Thundershock from eating copper.
531* TheQuietOne: Prefers simple but concise gestures to talking.
532* UseYourHead: Has decided that headbutting his foes is going to be his preferred tactic.
533
534!![[spoiler: Deoxys-Orange]]
535-----
536* AscendedExtra: Originally from the ''[[spoiler: Pokémon Ranger - Deoxys' Crisis!]]'' two-parter, he accidentally gets caught by Max.
537* CommutingOnABus: After being caught, he decides to let Max keep his Pokéball so he can't be caught by anyone else, then leaves with a transceiver so he can return as needed.
538* ReadingTheStageDirectionsOutLoud: Like other [[spoiler: Deoxys]].
539* SenseFreak: Being a being with NoMouth, eating and tasting is a new experience for him, especially Brock's cooking.
540* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Has to be told by Ferris to shorten his thought patterns several times.

545[[folder:Dawn Berlitz]]
546Yet another of Ash's (future) traveling companions, an extremely talented coordinator from the Sinnoh region (and the daughter of Johanna, herself a past Top Coordinator), who met up with Ash at the Hoenn Grand Festival and had her memories restored. Currently traveling with Ash and Brock through Sinnoh.
547
548Accomplishments:
549
550* Sinnoh Ribbons: Jubilife City (241), Hearthome City (254), Wallace Cup (Aqua Ribbon) (260), Celestic Town (273), Sandalstraw Town (281).
551
552-----
553* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Appears two regions before her canon appearance.
554** And her Pokémon start appearing in her backyard soon after. ''All of them''.
555* ArbitrarySkepticism: Brock getting a girlfriend is the one part of Ash and company's tale that she ''doesn't'' accept almost immediately.
556* ButForMeItWasTuesday[=/=]SeenItAll: Whereas her mother is completely overwhelmed by Ash and Co., Dawn acclimates to the situation very quickly. After her memories are restored, she notes that things are only "weirder than usual". Brock having a steady girlfriend is the one thing she finds unusual.
557* FlatWhat: Her reaction to learning that Brock has a girlfriend.
558* WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief: She accepts everything about the time travel with little to no difficulty (though she demands more detailed explanations for the bigger stuff), but Brock actually having a steady girlfriend is something she just can't wrap her head around.
559

562[[folder:Dawn's Pokémon]]
563!!Piplup
564Dawn's Starter, even though he wasn't officially given to her by Professor Rowan.
565
566Reminded of the old timeline.
567-----
568* BadassAdorable: And he plans to keep it that way via an Everstone.
569* SilentSnarker: While Dawn was still learning how to understand him, Piplup was still able to lampshade the HypocriticalHumor in Dawn pointing out Ash's Suicine showing off.
570* SwordFight: Can fence with his lengthened beak while using Peck.
571* TheNapoleon: Despite his short statue, he's very full of himself.
572
573!!Buneary
574Reminded of the old timeline.
575-----
576* BouncingBattler: Knows [[InASingleBound Bounce]] and makes judicious use of it.
577* ShapingYourAttacks: Pikachu's training enabled her to sculpt oversized limbs out of elemental energy.
578* ShipTease: Still has a crush on Pikachu, and he is slowly starting to reciprocate.
579* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: Piplup manages to convince her to not run off by telling her things that she hadn't told ''anyone'' at that point in the timeline.
580* WillTheyOrWontThey: With Pikachu. Pikachu admits that he'd had a bad first impression of her, and is willing to start over from the beginning to see if there is anything between them.
581
582!!Pachirisu
583Reminded of the old timeline.
584-----
585* DynamicEntry: A trick she can do with Shock Wave is shoot herself around the battlefield.
586* FastballSpecial: She can also use Shock Wave to shoot an electrically-charged teammate around the battlefield, such as Luxio.
587* MascotsLoveSugar: Really likes her sweet Poffins.
588* TastesLikeFriendship: While she was still uncaptured, Dawn befriended her by feeding her hazelnut snacks.
589* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Nuts. It's been {{Lampshaded}} a few times.
590-->"You take the nuts, you get the squirrel."
591
592!!Mamoswine
593Reminded of the old timeline.
594-----
595* TheBigGuy: Easily Dawn's biggest Pokémon.
596* ImpossiblyGracefulGiant: He can ice-skate, though you wouldn't think it from his size.
597* SourSupporter: Compared to the rest of Dawn's cute and cuddly team, he's definitely a lot gruffer.
598
599!!Quilava
600Reminded of the old timeline.
601-----
602* SitcomArchNemesis: Argues with Piplup about the most inane topics, everything from architecture to topiary. [[VitriolicBestBuds Buneary believes that they both enjoy it]].
603
604!!Togekiss
605Reminded of the old timeline.
606-----
607* CommutingOnABus: Her time is negotiated to be shared between Dawn and Princess Salvia.
608
609!!Ambipom
610The last of Dawn's canon Pokémon (excluding Buizel) to be introduced, she falls on Ash's head when he's on his way to the Battle Pyramid and is delivered to Dawn afterward. Reminded of the old timeline.
611-----
612* MartialArtsAndCrafts: Is a fourth dan black belt in Ping-Pong.
613* SeenItAll: Subverted, unlike the rest of the Sinnoh cast; she needs a bit of time to come to terms with all the changes. This is apparently due to not being around for the incident with Arceus in Sinnoh.
614** She ''was'' around for the collapse of space-time in Alamos Town, as Pikachu argues, but apparently that didn't convince her of the group being a WeirdnessMagnet.
615
616!!Luxio
617-----
618* AscendedExtra: Appeared in an episode helping Ash get a Wailmer back to the ocean. This time, after hearing about Contests from Dawn's Pokémon, he decided to go with her.
619* ShockAndAwe: Electric-type, natch.
620* StreetUrchin: When the group met him, he was the leader of a colony of sewer-dwelling Pokémon.
621
622!!Skarmory

624* OriginalCharacter: Dawn won her egg in the Johto festival where she originally won Quilava's egg in the old timeline.

629
630[[folder:Iris]]
631One of Ash's future traveling companions from the Unova region, and an aspiring Dragon Master. Initially shown during her time at the Opelucid Academy, before she decides to drop out. Iris eventually runs into Keldeo during the early parts of the Sinnoh arc, and Ash pays a visit to Unova in order to Remind her of the old timeline.
632-----
633* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Starts appearing in the late Hoenn arc, several chapters earlier than Dawn.
634* FanGirl: Iris appears to have a case of this towards Ash. She had a poster of of him next to her other idols [[WorldsStrongestMan Lance and Cynthia]], and believes he would never have obedience issues with his Pokémon. ''Very'' ironic, considering her [[VitriolicBestBuds attitude]] towards him in canon.
635** Excadrill mentions the posters once they're reminded, and Pikachu finds it completely hilarious.
636* HeroicBSOD: She has... difficulty reconciling the [[IdiotHero Ash]] she remembers with the [[TheAce Ash Ketchum]] that she's heard so much about. In particular, she's astonished to learn that he was a WeirdnessMagnet ''long'' before meeting her.
637* LoopholeAbuse: Iris is given an assignment to detail the history of Unova's Gyms. She finds this difficult, but upon re-reading the assignment, decides that she can just write about the Opelucid Gym instead. She finds that much more interesting.
638* TaughtByExperience: Her preferred way of learning. Learning in Opelucid Academy wasn't working for her, so she arranged with Drayden to drop out and apprentice under Denae, a more hands-on Dragon master who prefers teaching through rock-climbing and flying instead of textbooks.
639* TookALevelInKindness: After being reminded and finding out about Ash's numerous accomplishments (including those from the original timeline), she apologizes for her dismissive attitude.
640* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: Still doesn't like ice.

645!!Excadrill
646Reminded of the old timeline.
647-----
648* BrilliantButLazy: Prior to Iris meeting up with Ash, Excadrill was still in this phase.
649* CannotKeepASecret: Casually mentions that Iris has Ash posters immediately after being reminded, much to his Trainer's embarassment.

669[[folder:Serena]]
670One of Ash's future traveling companions from the Kalos region and currently Dawn's pen pal. Although at the right age to become a trainer, her mother Grace has kept trying to steer her into Rhyhorn racing, which is a point of contention between them.
671-----
672* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Starts appearing in the Kanto Battle Frontier arc as Dawn's pen pal.
673* CelebCrush: After learning her connection to Ash, she seems to be developing one on him, maybe mixed with a bit of HeroWorship.
674** RescueRomance: However, it may also be her forgotten crush on the nice kid who helped her out at summer camp many years ago, given a twist now that she's older.
675* TheEveryman: In this story, Ash never reunited with her in the previous timeline because Cyrus made his comeback just before he went to Kalos in canon.
676** TheTeamNormal: Though it IS clear that Ash will end up traveling with her as in canon, despite this. She will end up being the first traveling companion that is completely unused to the zaniness prevalent in Ash's life, and not just the usual hijinks they got up to in canon, minus any that would be negated by previous changes based on Ash's foreknowledge, like the constant run-ins with the [=TRio=].
677* TakeAThirdOption: She and her mother eventually compromise and allow her to get a Pokémon that's not a Rhyhorn, but is still ride-able. Serena eventually finds a Blitzle who likes the riding idea (at least when he gets bigger).
