23	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/PK_6762.jpg]]
24	!!!'''Owner:''' purplekecleon
25
26	One of the main focuses of the plot, PK is a purple Kecleon who's known for being hot-headed and impetuous, earning her a fearful reputation among traders around and outside of Tao Village. She's known for being the head of the Merchants' guild, with Shroomsworth as her business partner and Sandy as her personal assistant. Her rash decisions usually result in Shroomsworth having to clean up after her. While she comes off as very intimidating, she will do whatever it takes to save Tao Village from danger.
27
28	It was revealed that PK grew up with her sister Anana and her abusive father to learn the strict family business of trade.
29
30	During the second arc, [[spoiler:after the destruction of Tao Village and Shroomsworth's bitter farewell]], PK became horribly stressed and changed from purple to black. Was responsible for awakening Sorbet, [[spoiler:leading to the destruction of Tao Village, Shroomsworth absence of leave, and eventually being engaged to Twigs. Currently locked in the past due to a failed Rescue attempt to save Jasmine.]]
31	----
32	* AccidentalMurder: [[spoiler:Her theft of the Thistle Whistle eventually lead to the death of the Elder Shroom, who gave his life protecting Sporegard from the cold. Additionally, her awakening Sorbet in the first place led to the deaths of many Pokemon and the loss of much wildlife in the area when he was under an illusion.]]
33	* AntiHero: She's a good person at heart, but she's exceptionally rude, crass, and all too commonly acts in ways that alienate herself from those who care about her.
34	%%* BadassBureaucrat
35	* BigEater: Is known for her fondness of cakes. Not slices, the whole cake. In one gulp.
36	* BlindedByTheLight: Can perform this due to the Iridescent Poncho she now owns.
37	* ChameleonCamouflage: One of her natural abilities.
38	%%* ConfusionFu: Her apparent fighting style.
39	* EmbarrassingFirstName: [[spoiler:Papaya Kiwi.]]
40	* {{Jerkass}}: While PK may have some good moments, she has her bad ones too. Look no further than the story [[http://papayakitty.com/wiki/A_Deal A Deal]] with or her treatment of Mike in the final parts of the Dates
41	* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: While many days she's bitter and loud, she's always willing to pitch in and help the village. She also has many PetTheDog moments with Sandy.
42	* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:Failing to save Charles, one of PK's very friends she could trust, from sickness despite her best efforts.]]
43	* MyGodWhatHaveIDone:
44	** Preforms this when [[spoiler:Sorbet attacks the village under an illusion's influence.]]
45	** [[spoiler:Preforms another soon after when she realizes the impact of stealing the Thistle whistle, which causes Shroomsworth to leave Tao]]
46	** [[spoiler:She was also horrified when she her conscience comes back in "In a Flash" when she started molesting Rhodes.]]
47	* PleaseDontLeaveMe:[[spoiler:Performs this on Shroomsworth when he is leaving Tao after he learned the death of the Sapling Village. It fails.]]
48	* SanitySlippage: The combination of [[spoiler:Tao's destruction and Shroomsworth bitter resignation]] led PK to become so depressed and sleep depraved that she started to hallucinate of Sorbet [[spoiler:who had recently been sealed away again]]. she didn't get better until Mike's return from Gambitville and shortly before Jasmine's capture.
49	* SexSlave: Was once one for [[spoiler:Tivoli. She got him back for this however.]]
50	[[/folder]]
51
52	[[folder:Shroomsworth the Breloom]]
53	Shroomsworth is a Breloom who is known as for his impeccable manners and solid business sense. Easily recognized by his exquisite monocle, he is one of the leaders of the Merchant guild along with PK. He speaks with a British accent and tends to be fluent and dignified at all times. Often regarded as somewhat greedy, he has gotten himself into trouble in the past over attempting to maximize profits and minimize losses. He expresses disgust over the idea of using spore-related or dust-related abilities, and as such has none.
54	----
55	* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:Returned to Tao Village in the prologue of Mission 7 only to find that PK was gone.]]
56	%%* CulturedBadass
57	* DrowningMySorrows: Planned on facilitating it in others for profit.
58	* LetsFightLikeGentlemen: Prefers fair 1 vs. 1 fights. Even as a Shroomish he refused to use his spores in battle.
59	* RunningGag: People constantly allude to the incident involving him, Merlot, a toll he refused to pay, and the resulting punishment he suffered.
60	* RapidFireFisticuffs: As a Breloom, he is very capable of doing this.
61	* PutOnABus: [[spoiler:Resigned as a Merchant leader to succeed Elder Shroom as the Elder for Sapling Village In the Mission 6 Prologue.]]

63
64	[[folder:Sandy the Deino]]
65	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Sandy_7119.jpg]]
66
67	A Deino who lived with in Merlot's castle for most of her life before hitching a ride with Shroomsworth to escape the fate of wearing a maid outfit. While she hasn't offered much in the way of information about her upbringing, she is completely loyal to the merchants for not taking her back to Merlot. She helps PK and the merchants in any way she can, and acts as the guard for the base of the Merchants. Like all Deinos, she is blind and relies on smell and sound to interact with others
68
69	As of the second arc, Sandy has become more and more depressed due to PK's negligence of her when PK herself was recovering from the events of Mission 5. She now spends most of her time either playing with Maple to cope or hiding under PK's bed.
70	----
71	* BewareTheQuietOnes: Has been known to lash out furiously from time to time. [[spoiler:She also claims the first on-screen kill in the main story.]]
72	%%* ChildrenForcedToKill: It was either this option or [[spoiler:letting Shroomsworth die.]]
73	%%* TheEeyore: Starting with Mission 6.
74	-->'''Sandy''': If anything new happens, like people caring about me, I'll be under PK's bed.
75	* AllAnimalsAreDogs: Something of an early gag - a few Pokemon assumed she was, and her relationship with PK is not unlike that of a sentient dog and her master.
76	%%* MoralityPet: To PK and the Merchants.
77	* TheseHandsHaveKilled: Went through this after killing [[spoiler:Slasher]]
78	* TheQuietOne: Says few words. Sometimes just a single one for a whole conversation.
79	[[/folder]]
80
81	[[folder:Rhodes the Sneasel]]
82	A young Sneasel who used to serve as Slasher's right-hand man in his gang. After his death, Rhodes organized the rest of the Sneasels as "pathfinders" and joined the Merchant's Guild.
83	----
84	* TheAtoner: Serves the Merchants loyally to make up his time as a thief of Slasher's Gang.
85	* ChildrenAreInnocent:
86	** Not as much as Terra, but it took a long time for him to realize that Slasher's gang was doing bad things.
87	** [[spoiler:He's also completely clueless about procreation and at a loss for what to do when PK comes on to him.]]
88	* GoodScarsEvilScars: Going further, his scars (courtesy Slasher) are on the opposite cheek from Slasher's own.
89	* HeelFaceTurn: Almost TheDogBitesBack. He tips off PK to what Slasher plans to do with Sandy, and he's stuck with the Merchants ever since.
90	* IDidntMeanToTurnYouOn: [[spoiler:In "In a Flash", Rhodes gives a hug of gratitude to PK (while PK was under the influence of a mystical item, mind you) led up to this.]]
91	[[/folder]]
92
93	[[folder:Sorbet the Kyurem]]
94	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/625px-sorbet_7449.png]]
95	%%The image is already compressed, it can't be fixed unless it's replaced by a new image
96
97	Kyurem, an ancient dragon. It is nameless, but PK decided to name it Sorbet. PK and some of her guild members released Sorbet during Mission 3, after fighting with Coliche, a Virizion that protected the altar for the God Stone that PK held. It was located in Icy Cavern. [[spoiler: Currently dormant after his rampage in Tao Village.]]
98	----
99	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:During Mission 5, due to Shade's Illusions.]]
100	%%* BreathWeapon
101	* EmbarrassingNickname: Sorbet, as he originally had no name.
102	* 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.
103	%%* OurDragonsAreDifferent
104	* Really700YearsOld: Has lived for many, many centuries. One of the very select few with "Ancient" as his age.
105	[[/folder]]
106
107	%%[[folder:Malt the Miltank]]
108	%%A Miltank who used to work on Tao Ranch as an accountant, alongside his sister Ovaltine.
109
110	%%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.
111
112	%%After consoling her he became the new Merchant Guild Leader Assistant.
113	%%----

115
116	[[folder:Devonshire the Sableye]]
117	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Devonshire_33.jpg]]
118
119	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.
120	----
121	* BadassBureaucrat: On top of the Rouges guild, he also runs a lesser known law firm.
122	%%* BadassCape: [[spoiler:He had one when he was alive.]]
123	%%* TheCaptain: [[spoiler:Was this when he was alive.]]
124	%%* CastingAShadow
125	%%* AFatherToHisMen: [[spoiler:In life, anyway. He still has shades of it from time to time with the Rogues' Guild.]]
126	* {{Intangibility}}: [[spoiler:Passing through him while he's intangible is a ''really'' bad idea.]]
127	* InterGenerationalFriendship: [[spoiler:With a young Merlot in life. She hasn't forgotten him, and even recognizes him despite being an entirely different species, well over a century after his death.]]
128	* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Really not that bad of a guy, at least once he properly got his trauma over being undead under control. He's only done one particularly deplorable thing in story on purpose, and that was due to his Rogues' failure. And while he appears to have an agenda of his own and isn't opposed to utilizing illicit means to achieve it, he tends to act with Tao and his allies' best interests in mind, all the same.
129	%%* OurGhostsAreDifferent
130	* SlasherSmile: His smiles are rarely pleasant, as a row of gem-shattering teeth can be enough to unnerve almost anyone. That said, he does this often.
131	[[/folder]]
132
133	[[folder:Gunpowder the Gabite]]
134	[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/461px-Gunpowder_6578.jpg]]
135
136	Gunpowder the Gabite is the questionable leader of the Rogues. Sassy and powerful, he does much of the gruntwork needed to further his yet unknown goals, trusting the direction of his partner Devonshire. Being known as quite the liar, his background is as of yet a mystery, with the only certainty being that he was at some point a pirate on the open seas.
137
138	He is rather abrasive at the best of times, but as many guild members have discovered, he is especially so about certain topics. One such subject is his back "fin". Some have claimed that a male Gabite should have a chipped fin, but Gunpowder is quick to dismiss such claims, saying "I take good care of meself," and that these claims are without any basis to begin with, due to a lack of other Gabite for comparison. Another touchy subject for Gunpowder, although less so, is the topic of "evolution". Gunpowder has a sort of hatred towards Garchomp in general, and is disgusted by the idea of becoming one, although his reasons are unknown.
139	----
140	[[/folder]]
141
142	[[folder:Chex the Cubone]]
143	An unusual Cubone who showed up around the beginning of mission one with an unknown purpose, as he's a mute who only occasionally writes his thoughts on a card. Has an amicable relationship with Devonshire, who discovered that Chex came from a graveyard. Almost always seen with a small wagon full of bones. He is raised by his foster mothers, Ivory and Jill. Chex has been known to be very friendly to all Pokemon he meets
144	----
145	%%* HappilyAdopted: By Jill and Ivory.
146	* ImAHumanitarian: Who keeps the bones afterward, too. To his credit (or not), he and his family usually aren't the ones that kill them.
147	%%* RidiculouslyCuteCritter
148	* TheVoiceless: He communicates with cards and squeaks when excited or agitated, but is otherwise mute.
149	[[/folder]]
150
151	[[folder:Dmitri]]
152	Dmitri showed up in Tao one day, seeking advice from Sorbet. He tends to be a bit naive and simplistic, and doesn't often converse well with others. He is terrible at writing.
153	----
154	* FantasticRacism: His species' hatred of Seviper extends to ''all'' snakes for Dmitri, only excluding serpent-like Pokemon (i.e. Dragonair).
155	* FriendToAllChildren: to the point he steals to feed them.
156	%%* NoSocialSkills

162
163	Chill the Minccino is the founder and original leader of the Rescuers Guild and a member of Team Valor alongside Mike, whom he seems to treat more like a kid brother. He follows a strong sense of justice, causing him to relentlessly help others while punishing what he sees as injustice. On the flip side, he's a known womanizer, avid gambler, and seems to avoid letting anyone get too close to him. Despite this, he always looks cool.
164
165	[[spoiler:During Mission 4, he was forced to resign after a his nemesis Shiv paralyzed his sister shortly after his seemingly being defeated. He left Mike in charge while he stayed in Snowy Village.]] [[spoiler:On a trip to visit Tao to see how things were and to visit Mike, he was met by Chex requesting his help to save Gunpowder from Blight.]]

170	%%* IcyBlueEyes
171	* {{Put on a Bus}}: [[spoiler:Left to look over his family after Mission 4 because Cindi was rendered unable to walk and that their father left.]]
172	* TheBusCameBack: [[spoiler:He has finally returned during Mission 8, sans sunglasses.]]

181
182	Mike is the co-leader of the Rescuers' Guild and a member of Team Valor, a hot-headed young Charmander who came from Gambitville. He's not the best at leading, and is often overpowered or taken advantage of by the other guild leaders.

189	!!!'''Owner:''' buyo-baka
190
191	After dropping in on the Merchant hut during a heated discussion and finding the atmosphere 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.
192
193	Fresnel picked up the discarded letter and read it, realizing 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.
194
195	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.
196	----
197	%%* [[{{Delinquents}} Delinquent]]: As a kid, since he couldn't be an engineer.
198	* StraightGay: Mostly. He has a few flamboyant mannerisms, and his voice actor gave him an overwrought lisp, but he's pretty level about it otherwise.

211	[[folder:Winston the Whimsicott]]
212	Winston the Whimsicott drifted in from Windswept Woods. Having a peaceful demeanor, he prefers to do as little fighting as possible. He chose to apprentice at the tailor shop rather than join an adventuring guild. At the tailors' he contributed his fibers to make comfy clothes, but Chrys was still teaching him how to sew.
213
214	[[spoiler:In the Mission 7 epilogue, Winston was murdered by a feral Sneasel.]]

245	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.

325
326	Master Shao is an old and extremely wise Mienshao and the grandfather of Master Foo. He's a tutor for all sorts of moves a Pokemon might not normally be privy to. He has a hut out near Snowy Village and has been a hermit for a while. He's known Zhu for a long time and finds delight in the fireworks shows his friend puts on display. He is rather hard of sight and hearing in his old age, but is still a master in combat. He has an unfortunate fondness for puns.

328
329	!Callahan the Ninetales
330
331	Having come from Dusty Woods, Callahan is rather foreign. Everyone is unsure if he's shiny, or just gray and scruffy from old age, but it's impossible to tell because his tail tips are stained with black ink. He's taken it upon himself to help relieve the guilds of filling out paperwork concerning their guild members. His records are accurate and precise, saving the guild leaders a lot of time that might have been wasted on filling out forms.
332	He quite enjoys heckling, and is always in the mood to hear or tell a story.

393	Merlot is a Lugia, the lady and caretaker of Castle Draclugia. Like most legendary Pokemon, rumors abound about her: from her age, weight, and dietary habits to other more scandalous secrets involving her servants and backroom deals with the local guild leaders, Merlot is a riddle wrapped in an enigma inside a fashionable velvet cape. While all rumors about her being a vampire have been confirmed as false, it is true that she loves Dragon-type Pokemon and dressing her servants up as maids, for whatever reason.
394	----

452	Anana is PK's twin sister, a Kecleon who takes after her sibling (or is it the other way around?) and runs the Alomomola Bay Merchants' guild. Despite the sibling resemblance, her personality contrasts quite a bit with PK's sometimes sour disposition. She's known to be incredibly kind and caring to those around her, lending her a great reputation in the Alomomola Bay area.
453
454	Anana has been known to donate to a great many causes, including shelters for the poor and hungry. Ever since her parents left her in charge of Alomomola City's Merchant' guild, she's economized the entire city. Nearly every establishment is a subsidy of her guild. She manages a great many Pokemon, orchestrating the city's fantastic success since her take over.
455
456	Recently, she's been under a lot of stress, as many of the Bay's overseas suppliers have been cut off by a mysterious storm. In addition, there have been an inordinate amount of dead bodies that keep showing up...

After being fully healed by the Bay's resident Witch Doctor, Lamia, Terra revealed that she arrived in that state after a failed attempt to fly off Prosphora's Cathedral Drop. When Terra concluded that she would not be returning to the cathedral due to her lack of wings, Anana made Terra her shop assistant.

If he ever was to leave the cathedral, residents of Alomomola Bay wouldn't miss him, his exit being made known by the rainbow trail he leaves behind. Many Pokemon have come to call it "Prosphora's Blessing."
662
663	As the Pope, Prosphora has many duties, however his most pivotal being placatel the war between light and darkness. To him there always has been war and always will be, however this does not disuade the Ho-oh from completeing his task. The cause of this war is unknown to him, however it's influence is not. Acorridng to him "There is a pervasive sort of cloud that has been resting over the land for centuries, causing more and more Pokemon to commit vile acts against others for no reason whatsoever. It’s caused much extra work for my paladins and for the musketeers. Pokemon’s lives are becoming more jumbled and chaotic."
664
665	Prosphora is immortal, and has been reborn many a time. With each reincarnation, he loses some of his memories, but has them restored with a reading of his previous life's memoirs. Before this life cycle, his colouration has been that of normal scarlet-hue. However this time, he is golden. Prosphora's alternate colouration may be only a spectacle to regular Pokemon, however to Prosphora and his followers, it symboloses something on a much grander scale. The Ho-oh himself claims that his colouration denotes a more significant purpose--that his actions will directly beneift and influnce the "Creator" more closely.
