9
10The TerribleTrio from the original timeline. Giovanni assigns them to keep an eye on Ash and inform him of his activities and progress.
11----
12* AdaptationalBadass: They're actually able to get results for Team Rocket on a regular occasion, including stealing Pokemon. And their capture of Felgrand and taking pictures of what happened during the Gringy City incident was of ''huge'' value to Giovanni.
13* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance:
14** James obtains his Carnivine, Yamask, and Inkay in Kanto.
15** Jessie gets her Wobbuffet in Celadon City.
16* AffablyEvil: All of them, especially James.
17* BenevolentBoss: Towards their Pokémon, as demonstrated in their initial attack; upon realizing Pikachu's lightning could blow up his Koffing, James quickly recalls it despite knowing it puts him as a disadvantage.
18* BerserkButton: Jessie flies off the handle when Yellow compares her and her comrades to Franchise/PowerRangers.
19* ButtMonkey: Downplayed compared to canon, since instead of trying to steal Pikachu, Giovanni assigns them to spy on Ash. Because they generally don't come into direct conflict with him, they aren't sent blasting off nearly as often as in canon.
20* DemotedToExtra: They don't appear as often as in canon.
21* EvenEvilHasStandards:
22** They can't stand Pokémon abusers, outright calling Damian an "asshole" for what he did to his Charmander. This also applies to the supply robberies they commit, given that one potential target was rejected because he was trying to put his kids through college, and another because he was the main supplier for an orphanage.
23** Apparently, Jessie draws the line at the sadist practices Jessiebelle wanted to attempt on James.
24* GoKartingWithBowser: James fought against Ash fair and square in the Battle Dome Tournament and they both enjoyed the match.
25* GoldfishPoopGang: They are still this but it's significantly downplayed from the original timeline, because their mission is to observe Ash, rather than steal Pikachu. They also get good results for Giovanni on occasion.
26* GracefulLoser: James clearly enjoyed his match against Ash in the Battle Dome tournament, to the point he doesn't get upset at losing.
27* InexplicablyAwesome: Not even Giovanni has any idea how Jessie, James and Meowth keep surviving things that should have killed them. Bear in mind that this is a setting with SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome(s), and yet the trio seems to be exempt from it.
28* MadLibsCatchphrase: Their "Team Rocket is blasting off again!" is always accompanied by a comment about how strange it is, how often it happens and/or something else related to the situation at hand. Their motto also counts, since they vary the lines depending on where or how they end up encountering Ash's group.
29* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: James yells this to his parents on live TV while he's fighting Ash.
30* ThePowerOfFriendship: Some of James' Pokemon know Return, a move that deals more damage the more the Pokemon loves their trainer, and given that said move deals ''a lot'' of damage when they use it, it's rather evident that James' Pokemon love him dearly.
31* RunningGag: Their blasting off declarations comment that the act is both unusual, and happening somewhat often.
32* ShipperOnDeck: They seem to believe Misty is Ash's girlfriend.
33* StalkerWithoutACrush: They follow Ash everywhere they can and report back to Giovanni. While Jessie does admit to watching Ash while he showers and appreciates his looks, she comments he 'isn't her type'.
34* SuperMode: James got a Keystone for taking part in the Lavender Town tournament. However, he has no Pokemon capable of Mega Evolution so far.
35* UndyingLoyalty: Their loyalty to their boss is one of the few reasons Giovanni tolerates their presence.
36* VileVillainLaughableLackey: Much like in canon, they have this dynamic with Giovanni.
37
38!!!Giovanni
39->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2016 | Blaine Interlude (mentioned) | Pokémon G-Men Interlude (mentioned) | Lorelei Interlude (voice only) | Shadows of the Jungle | Mewtwo Interlude | Solidad Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021
40
41The Leader of Team Rocket and Viridian City Gym Leader.
42----
43* AdaptationalIntelligence: Unlike in ''Anime/PokemonTheFirstMovie'', he doesn't [[VillainBall provoke Mewtwo by insulting him to his face]]. In fact, he goes out of his way to try and make sure Mewtwo stays loyal to him. Unfortunately for him, [[spoiler:Mewtwo eventually double-crossed him of his own accord]].
44* AdaptationalVillainy: While the anime made it abundantly clear that he was not a good person, much of the more severe villainy one would expect from a crime lord and DiabolicalMastermind of his caliber was, at most, only implied. Here, the story is very much explicit about the awful things he does (such as having people murdered), fitting for the fic's DarkerAndEdgier tone.
45* AdaptationRelationshipOverhaul: In the anime, his opinion of the [=TRio=] yo-yoed between respecting them because he considered them some of his best agents and disdaining them for their myriad failures. This version of him combines the two stances: he recognizes that they're not among his better subordinates, but he appreciates them for their UndyingLoyalty to him and the fact that they ''are'' successful at times.
46* BadassBoast: Gives one in response to Solidad's Mega Slowbro:
47-->'''Giovanni''': This changes nothing.....I've fought such Pokemon before, I've defeated more impressive evolutions!
48* BerserkButton: The man doesn't like Juan. At all.
49* DishingOutDirt: As a Gym Leader, he specializes in Ground-types.
50* EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Downplayed. He admired and respected his mother, whom he describes as a beautiful and intelligent woman, but believes she thought too small during her stint as the Team Rocket boss before him.
51* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes:
52** He truly cares about his pet Persian.
53** Zigzagged in regards to his son Silver. His inner monologue reveals he genuinely cares for him, but still takes priority over Team Rocket's business rather than celebrating Christmas and his son's birthday.
54* ExtraOreDinary: Has a Steelix.
55* INeedAFreakingDrink: After reflecting that the fate of Team Rocket might depend on Jessie, James, and Meowth, Giovanni gets a strong craving for alcohol. Later on, he downs some scotch after James mentions Juan, who he hates.
56* MakeItLookLikeAnAccident: Ever the pragmatist, he prefers this approach when he needs somebody killed.
57* NonElemental: Has a Persian.
58* ParentalNeglect: He doesn't spare much time for his son Silver.
59* PoisonousPerson: Has a Nidoking.
60* PragmaticVillainy: Team Rocket does not deal in prostitution; not because he has any kind of moral objection to the practice, but because he considers the industry too trackable.
61** As it turns out, his interest in Ash is also this: he wants Ash to stand out as a heroic example for Bloodliners to follow, and inspire them to clear the competition he might have in the criminal world.
62* ProperlyParanoid: He suspects that Proton may be getting dangerously ambitious. Considering he's apparently running projects behind his back, he seems to have good reason to be concerned.
63* RelatedInTheAdaptation: No canon sources confirm who's the mother of his son Silver. In this story, it's Ariana, and they are married.
64* RightHandCat: His Persian, as per canon.
65* {{Sadist}}: While he doesn't torture his subordinates, he enjoys when they suffer from their own incompetence.
66* SmartPeoplePlayChess: He's shown playing chess with Mewtwo in the latter's interlude.
67* StrictlyProfessionalRelationship: He's married to Ariana, but keeps that fact private at work.
68* VillainHasAPoint: During his gym battle with Ash, he criticizes Misty's fear of Bug-types as irrational and counterproductive to her goal. Misty privately agrees with him on the first bit, and his latter point is proven by her initial reaction to seeing a Wimpod.
69* VillainRespect: While watching the Indigo League on TV, he's pleased to see that Ash learned something from their match.
70* VillainWithGoodPublicity: The authorities aren't aware he's the boss of Team Rocket, only a very demanding Gym Leader.
71* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers this to Mewtwo.
72* WhenYouComingHomeDad: He seems to skip spending Christmas with his son (which also coincides with his birthday) and hasn't been present on his life very much for almost his entire life.
73* WorthyOpponent: He only gets up his chair when an opponent gives him a good challenge.
74
75!!!Cassidy and Butch
76->'''Appear in''': Main Story | Arnold Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021
77
78Jessie, James and Meowth's rivals, who ''sometimes'' are more successful in their endeavors.
79----
80
81* AccidentalMisnaming: Ash never calls Butch and Cassidy by name, but he continually thinks of Butch by a different name throughout their first battle, ranging from 'Not James' to 'Bart' or 'Dutch'.
82* CurbStompBattle: They're subject to one when they try to stop Ash challenging Giovanni to a gym battle, only for almost their entire team to be defeated by Gigalith (even when Cassidy starts the fight with a Tentacruel) as well as the implication that Togepi defeated their Hitmontop.
83* MakeAnExampleOfThem: They try to invoke this on Arnold and Laila when decide to stand up to them. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Only to discover that they inspire the rest of the people to fight back]], [[OhCrap and that they're]] ''[[OhCrap massively]]'' [[OhCrap outnumbered.]]
84* NoodleIncident: As punishment for failing in Hop-Hop-Hop Town, Giovanni sends them to Dark City to evaluate the Kaz and Yas gangs. [[NoodleImplements They end up sleepless, clearly hit by blunt objects, and in serious need of a shower since they reek of cheap deodorant, sake and expired ketchup]].
85
86!!!Ariana
87->'''Appears in''': Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021
88
89A high-ranking Rocket Executive. She's also Giovanni's wife, and mother of his son Silver.

93
94!!!Proton
95->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned) | Pokémon G-Men Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021 (mentioned)
96
97A high-ranking Rocket Admin. He's apparently authorizing projects behind Giovanni's back.
98----
99* TheStarscream: Giovanni suspects he might be this. While it's not yet confirmed, the fact he's running projects without Giovanni's consent or knowledge might hint he is.
100

111->'''Appears in''': Red Five Island Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021 (mentioned)
112
113A Rocket Admin in charge of overseeing operations in the Sevii Islands.
114----
115* CrazyPrepared: Makes a habit of planning for every possible outcome.
116* DidntSeeThatComing: A combination of Red deciding to take riskier gambles with his Pokémon, and [[DamselOutOfDistress Yellow managing to break herself out of captivity]] ended up causing his plans to fall apart.
117* NamedByTheAdaptation: He's supposed to be based on the unnamed Admin from the [=FireRed=] & [=LeafGreen=] games.
118* ShadowArchetype: He's one to Red, representing what he could become should he let his mindset of planning ahead to get over his head to the point of arrogance and thinking he cannot be beaten.
119* VillainousBreakdown: Ends up losing his cool when Yellow's timely arrival ends up causing his Pokémon to fall into disarray and get defeated.
120* WeCanRuleTogether: Even knowing Red would refuse, he still tried to offer him a chance to join Team Rocket.
121* WouldHurtAChild: Had no qualms about kidnapping Yellow to lure Red into a trap, and was planning to dispose of her after she was no longer useful anyway.
122
123!!!Dr. Zager
124->'''Appears in''': Mewtwo Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2021 (mentioned)
125
126A scientist working for Team Rocket.
127----

139
140Giovanni's mother, and his predecessor as the leader of Team Rocket.

143
144!!!Miyamoto
145->'''Appears in''': The 2022 Holiday Special
146
147Jessie's mother and one of Team Rocket's top agents. She disappeared several years ago while on an important assignment.
148----
149* MissingMom: She vanished some years before the story proper began.
150* WhenYouComingHomeDad: Her relationship with Jessie was somewhat strained due to her frequently being absent on Team Rocket business.
151
152!!!Zacharias
153->'''Appears in''': Main Story
154
155A trainer from Pallet Town who departed a year before Ash and Gary. After failing to qualify for the Indigo League he ended up joining Team Rocket.
156----
157
158* BareFistedMonk: His starter was a Mankey, which has evolved to Primeape by the time he and Gary clash against each other.
159* ChekhovsGunman: Mentioned early on Chapter 52, he later appears in person in Chapter 56 as a Team Rocket squad leader.
160* CurbStompCushion: While most of Zacharias's team go down without a lot to show for themselves against Gary, his Primeape is able to put on a good fight against Gary's Blastoise, partially thanks to its new move (implied to be Rage Fist).
161* {{Egopolis}}: At a few points it comes up that Zacharias wants to be so great as a trainer he can rename Pallet Town into 'Zacharias Town' a la ''Literature/PocketMonstersTheAnimation''.
162* FreudianExcuse: He ended up having a bad break when a storm caused him to lose his stuff. He was also unable to beat Lt. Surge, and blames the "privileged" ones like Gary and Ash for taking all the luck for themselves and not leaving anything for others like him. While Gary sympathizes somewhat for what happened to him due to the storm, [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse he still considers it's no excuse to turn into a criminal]].
163* {{Jerkass}}: From Gary and Ash's accounts, he was extremely unpleasant even before he left on his journey.
164* ThePowerOfHate: Primeape's Rage Fist is its most powerful attack.
165* PrivilegedRival: Inverted. He considers Ash and Gary to be the privileged ones compared to him, even mockingly referring to Gary as a prince.
166* RivalTurnedEvil: He often competed against Ash and Gary during their school days. When Gary meets him again after all three of them left Pallet Town, Zacharias has since joined Team Rocket.
167* UncertainDoom: Gary sends him flying off into the distance; as it's not mentioned that he was arrested with his subordinates. Manna implies he survives and managed to slip away, though.

174->'''Appears in''': Steven Interlude
175
176The leader of Team Zenith
177----
178* CompositeCharacter: Has some traits of the Aqua and Magma leaders, in terms of appearance (has a beard like Archie), clothing (dresses in a labcoat with eye-wear like Maxie) and personality (is rather passionate like Archie, but also a man of science like Maxie).
179* OriginalCharacter: Has no canon counterpart.
180* PredecessorVillain: To Archie and Maxie, though he later resurfaced.
181* SuperMode: His Altaria can Mega Evolve.
182* SurroundedByIdiots: A rare inversion. His plans failed partly because he surrounded himself with too many ''bright'' people, including Maxie and Archie, since their ideas clashed with each other and they worked at cross-purposes.
183* ThisCannotBe: [[spoiler:When Sawyer and Ryuga destroy the Megalith's power source, destroying the artificial Mega Rayquaza it created.]]
184

197* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: She's technically the tomboy to Taylor's girly girl.
198
199!!!Taylor

201
202Admin of Team Zenith
203----
204* AttackPatternAlpha: She actually orders her Pokemon to assume formations this way.
205* BigCreepyCrawlies: She actually favors Bug/Flying types, which signify her preference for strategy over brute force.

222* BenevolentBoss: Seems to be this if his interactions with Shelly are an indication.
223* EvenEvilHasStandards: Expressed dislike for homophobic people and those who think the world's issues are from 'sexual deviancy'.
224* FireForgedFriends: Subverted with Maxie when they were both part of Team Zenith. They saved each other and worked well together, but ultimately their differences led them to part ways.
225* NotSoAboveItAll: Loves all kinds of cakes, and willingly engages in caroling with his subordinates.
226* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Maxie, though they weren't exactly "friends" per se.
227
228!!!Shelly
229->'''Appears in''': Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2016 | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017

244----
245
246* BenevolentBoss: Seems to be this if his interactions with Courtney are an indication.

249* WeUsedToBeFriends: With Archie, though they weren't exactly "friends" per se.

261[[folder:Team Galactic]]
262!!!Cyrus
263->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned) | Cynthia Gaiden (mentioned) | Mars Gaiden | Jane Jackrum Interlude (mentioned)
264
265The Team Galactic Leader, who, after disappearing in a vortex, somehow managed to gain control over time and space. After mastering his new powers, he proceeded to dismantle the universe and rebuild it according to his vision. To prevent this, Arceus chose Ash and sent him back in time, setting in motion the events of the story.
266----
267* EvilIsPetty: He tested his new powers by making Ash lose League matches he should have won. While it's true that he needed to practice so that he could make all the changes he wanted in one go, [[KickTheDog that was just a dick move]].
268* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: The world changing to reflect the new features introduced in the games (such as abilities, new types, new Pokemon, the special and physical split, etc) are the result of him meddling with reality.
269* InstantExpert: Averted, he had to spend quite a while practicing with his new RealityWarper abilities before he could make the changes he wanted.
270* KnightOfCerebus: Granted, the Mars Gaiden was hardly sweetness and light to begin with, but his appearance signaled that the story would go down a ''very'' dark path.
271* NeverFoundTheBody: Turns out, Cyrus was able to survive undetected on a different plane of existence.
272* OmnicidalManiac: The story opens with him killing nearly everybody in existence.
273* PersonOfMassDestruction: Him gaining control of reality turned him into this. He was able to erase most of the universe in a ''very'' short amount of time. Even Arceus, for all its power, could only hold him back for a few minutes while it explained the situation to Ash before sending him back in time as a desperate Hail Mary.
274* TheSocialDarwinist: He's recruiting strong people for his plans.
275
276!!!Charon

292* TheDogBitesBack: After her uncle and aunt [[spoiler:kill her friend Kibou, she snaps and has her Bronzor crush them to death with its Psychic attack.]]
293* EvilRedhead: She wasn't always evil, though.
294* NeverBeHurtAgain: Ultimately, her reason for joining up with Cyrus comes down to this.
295* StepfordSmiler: She always put a smile despite being constantly abused by her uncle and aunt.
296* UsedToBeASweetKid: And how.
297
298!!!B-2

313
314The CEO of Lysandre Labs, who's also secretly the Leader of Team Flare. Alain's benefactor.
315----
316* AGlassOfChianti: The Holiday Special has him drinking some wine at a party.
317* SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: After an encounter with Joseph Stone, he bitterly muses on his beliefs that optimists like him are destined to have their efforts taken advantage of and their ideals broken.
318* VillainWithGoodPublicity: While the world sees him as a wealthy philanthropist, he secretly harbors the desire to remake the world, regardless of the methods.

325
326The Leader of Team Skull. Unlike most leaders, he specializes in Bug-Type Pokemon.
327----
328* AbusiveParents: His father was apparently a piece of work.
329* BerserkButton: Has several due to his anger issues. These consist of hurting his grunts, his own failure, abusive parents and [[ArsonMurderAndJayWalking golf]]. Calling him or insinuating he's weak is also one, angering him enough to stop ZZAZZ's attempt to possess him during the events of the Glitch War
330* BigCreepyCrawlies: He uses Bug-types primarily.
331* CoincidentalAccidentalDisguise: Due to him confronting several Cipher Peons while they are worried about Ula' Ula's Kahuna, they believe him to be the island's Kahuna instead of the actual Kahuna, Nanu. He doesn't bother to correct them.
332* DontYouDarePityMe: He tends to get really ticked off whenever someone looks at him with worry.
333* AFatherToHisMen: While he won't admit it, he deeply cares for his grunts.
334* NoodleIncident: He was apparently banned from Battle Royals after throwing a stool at a competitor after his Masquerain had three Hyper Beams fired at it at once.

339
340Head Admin of Team Skull, who specializes in Poison-Type Pokemon.
341----
342* BerserkButton: Don't hurt the Team Skull grunts. You'll get a Crobat in the ribs for it. Also, don't mess with her favourite cereal.
343* CoolBigSis: Treats the Team Skull grunts like siblings.
344* NotSoAboveItAll: She's the most level-headed member of Team Skull, but mess with her favourite cereal, and she'll act like a typical Skull member and beat the perpetrator "down, down, and down to the ground".
345** And there's her forcing Guzma to dress like Santa and climb on rooftops.
346* OnlySaneMan: Given the named Team Skull members in Reset include an idiot who tried to make french fries with a Pokeblock machine, a graffiti artist who uses her fingers instead of spray cans, and Guzma....
347* TechnicolorEyes: Not red, so she isn't a part of the ever expanding half sibling population, but golden ones. It's implied she has Unovan ancestry, where the color is more known. Chapter 41 hints that her father is an Unovan man named Frank Gipani.
348
349!!!Sketch
350->'''Appears in''': Guzma Interlude | Kiawe Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017
351
352A Skull Grunt and Bloodliner. Sketch is able to generate paint at her finger tips. The best graffiti artist in Team Skull.
353----
354* BullyingADragon: Insulting Iolani's late mentor was a very bad idea.
355* FacePalm: Odlaw's idiocy makes her do this.
356* GenericGraffiti: Her Bloodline allows her to generate paint, which she uses for this purpose.
357* MadArtist: Not exactly "mad", but Macross called her that and she didn't deny it.
358* MundaneUtility: What does she use her paint abilities for? Graffiti.
359* ShipperOnDeck: Has to shut Odlaw up when he almost blows the whistle on a grunt named Nats who is playing secret Santa for another, and she wants them to get together.
360
361!!! Odlaw
362->'''Appears in''': Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2016 | Kiawe Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017
363
364A Skull Grunt. Not that smart.
365----
366* AscendedExtra: He was originally an unnamed grunt who appeared to harass Wally in a holiday special. The Kiawe oneshot gave him a name and returned him back to Alola.
367* TheDitz: He's not the sharpest tool in the shed. Case in point, he once put a potato in a [=PokeBlock=] machine, thinking it would give him French fries. Obviously, this broke the machine.
368* HeroOfAnotherStory: Sure Team Skull aren't really good guys, but the tale of a Team Skull Grunt having to save up money to fly back home could make an interesting story.
369* MeaningfulName: "Odlaw" as in "outlaw". It could also be a reference to '[[Literature/WheresWally Wheres Waldo]]', as outside of the U.S the series is known as 'Where's Wally', and Odlaw is the American/British name for the antagonist of the series.
370* MotiveRant: He goes into one about how Trial Captains are to blame for them acting the way they do because they couldn't pass the trials. [[ShutUpHannibal Iolani is having none of it]], [[BerserkButton especially after he insults Kiawe's grandfather.]]
371
372!!! Macross

379* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Even Odlaw doesn't get what she says half the time.
380* {{Expy}}: Partially based on Gundham Tanaka from VisualNovel/{{Danganronpa}}.
381* NoodleIncident: Engaged in a chain of quests to get a Carnivine for another grunt as a Christmas gift.
382* SesquipedalianLoquaciousness: Engages in this when she talks about what she was doing to get a Christmas present for a friend.
383* ShockAndAwe: Her team is entirely composed of Electric-types: Togedemaru, Dedenne, Emolga and Pachirisu.
384* WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: [[BlatantLies Claims otherwise]], but she apparently doesn't fare well against the Yungoos line.

404* MightyGlacier: His Shadow Metagross is just as slow as a regular one, but it hits even harder and is more resilient.

413* BloodKnight: He loves nothing more than a good fight, whether a fist-fight or a Pokemon battle.
414* ChallengeSeeker: His primary reason for joining Team Cipher.
415* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: His strength must be a case of this, since it's known that he's ''not'' a bloodliner.
416* DumbMuscle: Downplayed. He's not exactly dumb, but compared to [[EvilGenius the]] other [[MadScientist Cipher leaders]], he's nowhere near as smart.

433* DidntThinkThisThrough: He made the grave mistake of starting his journey in ''Orre'' without being ready. It costed him dearly.
434* DrivenToVillainy: Becoming a Peon was the last thing he wanted, but he joined the criminal organization when he ran out of money.
435* GlorySeeker: He admits to have been this when confronted by Sanpei, and he deeply regrets it.
436* PathOfMostResistance: He decided to start his journey in Orre to toughen himself up, grossly overestimating his own skills. Needless to say, it ended badly for him.

446** He's revealed to have worked for the Aurumburg family in Kalos as a gardener as a teen, and managed to kill them all and get away with all of their money, not even out of his ''teen'' years.

500
501A group of female bloodliners who lost their families, either because they died or because they kicked them out of their homes. They have no qualms about using their powers to get what they want. Coming to despise humanity and the world in general, they choose to follow their own rules.
502
503!!!General/Multiple
504
505* AffectionateNickname: Belladonna refers to her lovers Aurora, Vedia, and Evanna as My Dear, My Sweet, and Sweetie respectively.
506* AmazonBrigade: They're all girls.
507* AntiVillain: While all four now consider themselves above humanity and have little regard for the law, their typical actions are usually just breaking/entering and theft, the sole exception being the events of "Poison War", and [[EvenEvilHasStandards even then they had standards]]. In the end, they're a group of lovers that typically act more like teenagers wanting to have fun, only going worse when someone harms one of them.
508* BattleHarem: Aurora, Vedia and Evanna are this to Belladonna.
509* DarkActionGirl: All of them are good with their powers.
510* DarkAndTroubledPast: The four of them have some pretty tragic backstories. See below for details.
511* EnemyMine: While not exactly enemies, Belladonna and her girlfriends choose to help Misty, Iris and Anabel in rescuing Ash from Sabrina.
512* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Despite being willing to harm or even kill anyone who gets in their way, they're very affectionate to each other and to their Pokémon. [[spoiler:This also extends to any potential half-sibling of Belladonna, unless they go into ''truly'' evil territory.]]
513* {{Expy}}: Of the ''Manga/PokemonAdventures'' incarnation of the Kanto Elite Four with a Ice, Ghost, and Fighting themed member led by a figure [[spoiler:with strong similarities to Yellow]].
514* FiveFingerDiscount: They mostly get what they need by breaking into stores, though Belladonna is willing to relent for Aurora's sake to get things legally whenever they have the chance.
515* GoodFeelsGood: The aftermath of Saffron has them experiencing this, with Aurora being the first to point out they should help people more often.
516* InVinoVeritas: Aurora ended up revealing the truth about her past to Belladonna after the shy girl accidentally got drunk while they were burglarizing a cabin.
517* OriginalCharacter: None of them have canon counterparts.
518* {{Polyamory}}: The nature of their relationship with each other.
519* PoorCommunicationKills: A problem Belladonna seeks to avoid with Aurora, always trying to ensure that things are clear and that she's always presented an option. [[spoiler:Still, Aurora doesn't have the courage to say out loud that she doesn't want her father dead and follows through with the plan to kill him out of fear of being left alone.]]
520* TheyLookJustLikeEveryoneElse: Not so much with Belladonna, but the other three look like normal teenagers.
521* UnholyMatrimony: They're all in love with each other.
522
523!!!Belladonna Tyrian
524
525[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/resetbloodlinesbelladonna_3.png]]
526
527The leader of the group, and after her resemblance to Ash was pointed out to her, decided she liked the idea of having a brother.
528----
529* BadPowersBadPeople: She's well aware of the effect her mind-controlling abilities have on Poison-types, but she doesn't care.
530* BerserkButton:
531** Do not mess with Belladonna's girlfriends. See ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend below. It's not a good idea to disguise yourself as them either: she can pick it up real quickly and does not appreciate imitation.
532** Just being around smokers induces violent urges in her.
533* ByronicHeroine: Fits the trope like a glove. Physically speaking, she's both intimidating and attractive, and has enough personal magnetism to attract multiple lovers. She's got plenty of brains too, able to come up with cunning plans and sabotage complex machinery. She has a tendency to brood on her DarkAndTroubledPast, and is very cynical about society. Speaking of which, she generally chooses not to interact with society in any significant way, and considers herself to exist outside the laws of humanity. As for her emotions, she tends to suffer from mood swings, and is noted for her passion by both the characters and the narrative.
534* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her mother was a hoarder in the Old Cesspit neighborhood which even by the standards of pre-cleanup Gringy City, was pretty bad, and neglected her heavily. She was thrown out of her home for being gay, the one thing her hoarder mother did not want to keep.
535* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Of the group, she takes this the furthest. In addition to deeply caring about her girlfriends and Pokémon, [[spoiler:she also shows a good deal of sisterly love regarding her possible half-siblings. This is shown by her being very affectionate towards Ash after becoming convinced he's her brother, when she was trying to kill him not even two minutes beforehand]].
536* EvenEvilHasStandards: She has several examples that gives her more depth than her portrayal as a simple murderer when she was introduced.
537** Despite her wanting very badly to kill Tokiomi Borealis, Belladonna waited until he was transferred out of a hospital specializing in cancer treatment to one that specializes in treating those with a history of substance abuse. Her plan to kill him would've required sabotage of his hospital's backup power system, so collateral damage was an inevitability. And that's why she waited. While she's perfectly fine with killing people who are ill because of poor life choices, she'll avoid killing those hospitalized for reasons beyond their control.
538** She makes a comment about not caring for the laws of man, which [[ThatCameOutWrong she immediately corrects to being the laws of humans]] with no specifically to gender. For not even the vengeful and hate-filled Belladonna wants to imply that she [[DoesNotLikeMen hates an entire gender]].
539** While she's ''very'' protective of her loved ones, and goes to great lengths to punish those who wrong them, she doesn't take it to psychopathic extremes. For example, she mentions she wouldn't melt someone's face off for [[DisproportionateRetribution bumping into one of her lovers on the street]].
540** Leaning more into EveryoneHasStandards than anything, but Aurora notes that Belladonna has a ''very'' strong sense of consent, and absolutely [[AboveTheInfluence refuses to have sex with Aurora after she accidentally got drunk]].
541** She refuses to use her [[TruthSerums second bloodline]] on her lovers, considering it not just a massive invasion of privacy, but also a serious betrayal of their trust; she goes so far as to say she'd probably do less damage to their relationship by ''cheating''.
542** Chapter 36 makes it clear that she's disgusted by the behavior [[spoiler:of the possible DateRapist half-sibling]] Misty encountered.
543* EvilCounterpart: To Ash, [[spoiler:especially when you consider they share a father]].
544* EyesNeverLie: Even though Hilda's disguise was physically perfect, one look into "Aurora's" eyes let her realize that she was an impostor.
545* FantasticRacism: In addition to not liking baseline humans, she also has a specified dislike of Grimer and Muk on top of it. [[spoiler:This is revealed to be tied to her hoarder mother, whose home was so dirty that it attracted the garbage eating Pokemon. Who'd literally eat everything from young Belladonna's teddy bear to the clothes on her body]].
546* GeneHunting: She starts trying to discover who her father is [[spoiler:after a few encounters with people who she thinks are her siblings]].
547* IdenticalGrandson: [[spoiler:If she really is Felgrand's niece, then she strongly resembles her paternal grandmother]].
548* IJustWantToBeLoved: This is one reason she's so eager to establish a sibling relationship with [[spoiler:Ash and her other half-siblings.]] She's desperate to have a loving family. This is also the reason her Dominion Bloodline takes the form that it does.
549* KnightOfCerebus: Despite being one of the story's more sympathetic villains, her first appearance brought a darker tone. She [[MassHypnosis hypnotizes huge numbers of Poison-type Pokémon]] for an attack on the Gringy City power plant, which kills numerous innocent workers, all in a [[spoiler:[[TheBadGuyWins successful]]]] plot to murder Aurora's father without implicating herself. During said attack, she earns the distinction of being the main story's first villain to commit murder onscreen. Her pivotal confrontation with Ash is one of the darkest scenes in the story, to the point that [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness Dexter remains unusually quiet throughout]]. And to top it all off, she introduces the very real possibility that [[spoiler:all these Ash-lookalikes [[UncannyFamilyResemblance aren't just coincidence]]]], which no matter how you slice it, is going to have a huge impact on the story.
550* [[KnightTemplarBigBrother Knight Templar Big Sister]]: [[spoiler:After becoming convinced that Ash is her younger half-brother, Belladonna, on learning that Ash knows the pain she's talking about, resolves to punish the one who made him feel the way he did. And considering the extremes she's willing to go to, especially on behalf of her loved ones, it's safe to say that she'd give them a lot worse than just a stern talking to.]]
551** [[spoiler:Taken even further in Chapter 33. After learning from Misty, Iris and Anabel that Ash was kidnapped, she quickly declares she'll come along to help them rescue him, no questions asked.]]
552* TheLeader: No doubt that she's the one in charge of her group.
553* LongLostRelative: [[spoiler:She becomes convinced (very likely) that Ash is her younger brother.]]
554* ManBitesMan: Knows Poison Fang.
555* MassHypnosis: Belladonna takes control of an army of Poison-type Pokémon in preparation for an attack on the Gringy City Power Plant.
556* MeaningfulName: Belladonna is named after an extremely toxic plant. Her last name Tyrian plays with this. Tyrian sounds like the word Tyrant, which given her villainous role does fit. However as the Pokedex points out this word means imperial purple, which is the color of Poison Types.
557* MindOverManners: Belladonna's non-Poison half of her Dual Bloodliner allows her to make anyone speak the truth to anything she asks. However she will not use it on her lovers, [[spoiler:or on Ash after their possible genetic relation came to line]], and considers the prospect of doing so a betrayal. She does not extend this to others however, and the same chapter showed potential issues of this philosophy.
558* MoodSwinger: Can change from murderous rage to affectionate quickly.
559* MotiveRant: She goes on one of these after Ash asks her if killing Tokiomi is a little excessive. After she finishes, the two of them realize that they're not so different, because Ash remembers feeling a similar rage when [[spoiler:Paul blew his Primeape into the sky]] and Belladonna recognizes from his expression that he knows the kind of pain and anger she's talking about.
560* NotSoAboveItAll: She cheers loudly as she watches Ash in the Fuchsia Tag Tournament on TV pulling off an amazing move to turn back the match.
561* PayEvilUntoEvil: Anyone who makes her loved ones suffer in any way, will suffer her wrath with increased interest.
562* PetTheDog: While staging her power plant attack, she spares a guard's life after he pleads that [[IHaveAFamily he has a family]].
563* PoisonousPerson: A Poison-Heart Bloodliner.
564* PragmaticVillainy: Why Belladonna has no interesting in [[spoiler:Hilda's]] offer for taking over the world: she simply has no reason to want to do so. In her own words she'd get some additional bits of revenge and the AndThenWhat trope would kick in, hard.
565* PsychoLesbian: Subverted. One might think that her emotional instability and willingness to commit cold-blooded murder would point to this trope, but she only plotted to kill Tokiomi Borealis because she thought that was what ''Aurora'' wanted. WordOfGod says that had Aurora told her that she didn't want to kill her father, Belladonna would have stopped.
566* RedEyesTakeWarning: Her eyes are as red as a Tentacool's body crystals, and while she's not a deranged psycho, she doesn't have much problem with taking deadly vengeance on those who hurt her loved ones.
567* {{Revenge}}: One of her more prominent traits is a desire to punish those who hurt her loved ones.
568** [[spoiler:She kills Tokiomi Borealis with a power outage while he's in the hospital to gain her vengeance on him for disowning Aurora. Unfortunately, she has no idea that Aurora doesn't actually want her father dead, and is only going through with Belladonna's plan out of fear that she'll be rejected, leaving her all alone again]].
569** After learning that [[spoiler:her possible half-brother Ash]] has also seen those he cares about suffer because of somebody else, she resolves to punish those who hurt him.
570* ShadowArchetype: To Ash. She represents what he might become if he doesn't restrain his anger at people who hurt those he cares about.
571* ShipperOnDeck: Ships Ash and his female companions, and Arnold and Laila, and virtually any relationship involving one of her half-siblings with someone they care about.
572* SmugStraightEdge: Belladonna has some tendencies to this regard: she showed disdain for people who are in the hospital for tobacco related illnesses and has a low opinion on intentional alcohol consumption. She outright states that she finds tobacco smoke to be the worst smell in existence in Chapter 26. Keep in mind: she grew up in a filthy, Grimer-infested house owned by a hoarder, so that's ''really'' saying something. She'd count as StraightEdgeEvil if she did it for pragmatic reasons instead of personal ones.
573* SpotTheImposter: She picked up that Hilda was disguised as Aurora ''very'' quickly.
574* StatuesqueStunner: Tall for her age. Specifically either 6'4 or 6'5.
575* SuperSpit: Capable of spewing toxic fluid from her mouth, with the speed and force of bullets.
576* TechnicolorEyes: Her eyes are red, which is a growing plot point.
577* TruthSerums: As part of her status as a dual bloodliner, her other bloodline lets her force people to tell the truth.
578* {{Ubermensch}}: Considers herself and bloodliners in general above human laws.
579* VillainousCheekbones: Implied, since she's described as having sharp facial features.
580* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend: A dark example. If somebody hurts one of her girlfriends, don't be surprised if she seeks deadly revenge.
581* YoungerThanSheLooks: 16 years old, but her [[StatuesqueStunner height]] and curves make her look considerably older. Anna was shocked to learn her age, and she knows grown men shorter than her.
582
583!!!Aurora Aoi Borealis
584
585[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/resetbloodlinesaurora.png]]
586
587Casted out by her father after he discovered she was a Bloodliner, his murder attempt set Belladonna and Ash on a collision course.
588
589----
590* AffectionateNickname: Her father used to call her "little snowflake".
591* BewareTheNiceOnes[=/=]BewareTheQuietOnes: [[TokenGoodTeammate The least malicious of the quartet]], [[ShrinkingViolet and a shy and nervous girl]], but as shown [[spoiler:when she froze ''Sabrina'' during Ash's rescue]], she's ''not'' to be underestimated.
592* DarkAndTroubledPast: She lived well with her father until her powers became known, [[AbusiveParents which rapidly soured their relationship and he threw her out]]. This led her to develop several psychological problems.
593* EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: She has very dark hair and pale skin.
594* ExtremeDoormat: When it comes to her loved ones, at least; see FatalFlaw below.
595** On the other hand, it's subverted when it comes to do good. [[spoiler:Case in point, she convinces Belladonna to wait until she can prepare a medicine with herbs to heal Anabel before they go to rescue Ash.]]
596* FatalFlaw: After her father abandoned her she gained a complex over doing things that could make her loved ones dislike her. This includes ''speaking up against things she really doesn't want to do'', though Belladonna is aware of this flaw to some extent and will push Aurora to speak her mind. Unfortunately Belladonna doesn't press hard enough all the time, in part because she's pretty sure that Aurora will take it the wrong way if she does.
597* FreezeRay: Is an Ice Beam Technique bloodliner. She seems to favor firing it from her fingertips.
598* GirlishPigtails: Wears her hair like this, which helps to signify that she's one of the more conventionally feminine members of her group.
599* AnIcePerson: She's an [[FreezeRay Ice Beam]] Technique Bloodliner.
600* IcyBlueEyes: She has them, fitting for her ice powers.
601* LipstickLesbian: Definitely feminine enough to qualify for this.
602* LuminescentBlush: Flushes heavily after getting kissed by Belladonna.
603* MeaningfulName: Aurora Borealis, clearly a reference to the Boreal Aurora.
604* MissingMom: Her mom died when she was young.
605* PowerStereotypeFlip: Unlike the usual IceQueen stereotype of people with [[AnIcePerson ice powers]], she's a gentle ShrinkingViolet and [[TokenGoodTeammate the most morally upstanding of her group]].
606* ShrinkingViolet: She's very shy and nervous.
607* TokenGoodTeammate: She seems the least evil of them, since for the most part she follows Belladonna on her schemes out of fear of being left alone. Chapter 26 lampshades this and has Belladonna note she's the only one of them who actually prefers to get things legally when they can.
608
609!!!Vedia
610
611[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/resetbloodlinesvedia.png]]
612
613A short girl who is best with technology among her group.
614
615----
616* BerserkButton: While she does not go berserk over it, Vedia has a bit of a Napoleonic Complex about her height.
617* BlindWithoutEm: Implied in the Holiday Special, when Evanna suggests she should change her current glasses for a better model.
618* BrainyBrunette: Brown-haired and clearly very intelligent.
619* CastingAShadow: She's a Shadow Sneak Technique Bloodliner.
620* DarkAndTroubledPast: She comments that she and Misty have similar eyes, and is hinted to have a similar backstory to her. However, she notes she had been put out of her family for ''longer'' than Misty has.
621* EmotionlessGirl: Borderline example; she's not exactly emotionless, but is very stoic and inexpressive.
622* EvilCounterpart: To Misty, with the two of them having similar backstories.
623* EvilGenius: Seems to be the most tech-savvy of the group, and has figured out clever uses of her Bloodline.
624* LonelyRichKid: It's implied she used to be one before joining up with Belladonna. The 2017 Holiday Special confirms her parents were never around and homeschooled her with private tutors.
625* MysteriousPast: Of her group she's the only one without a fleshed out backstory. Chapter 26 hints she comes from a background with a lot of money and at some point ran away from home, while the Holiday Special 2017 reveals her parents were often absent and left her to be homeschooled with tutors, but that is the extent of it.
626* TheNapoleon: She's rather sensitive about her lack of height, saying that it's a family trait and that Belladonna finds it cute.
627* OlderThanTheyLook: When she compares herself to Misty, the latter replies "Maybe when [she] was 12", due to her height.
628* ShadowArchetype: She is who Misty could have become had she never met Ash.
629* TheShortGuyWithGlasses: An evil, female example.
630* SpecsOfAwesome: She never took off her glasses during her fight with Misty.
631* StoicSpectacles: The least expressive of Belladonna's group, and the only one to wear glasses.
632* TeenGenius: She's implied to be very tech-savvy.
633
634!!!Evanna Narec
635
636[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/resetbloodlinesevanna_3.png]]
637
638The only one of the group that had a genuinely good parent. Dresses like a Battle Girl.
639
640----
641* AllWebbedUp: Happens to her, after Ash's Butterfree tags in during her fight with Iris in the power plant. [[spoiler:This triggers a memory on how her adoptive father was killed.]]
642* BloodKnight: Loves the thrill of a good fight.
643* BrightIsNotGood: Wears a distinct orange outfit and has few qualms about her involvement in some very serious crimes.
644* ButchLesbian: The most tomboyish of her group, and like the rest of them, she likes girls.
645* CombatSadomasochist: Implied by her disappointment at the lack of pain from Meowth's bite, and her love of [[PowerPerversionPotential getting bitten by Belladonna's Poison Fang]].
646* CynicismCatalyst: Her adoptive father's death was this to her.
647* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her birth parents died in a typhoon when she was young, but she was adopted by a martial artist name Kyle Narec, until he was killed by a mob after she stepped on a Slowpoke's tail in Azalea Town.
648* DeceasedParentsAreTheBest: While not much is known about her biological parents, her ''adoptive'' father Kyle Narec seems to have been the closest anyone in her group had to an ideal parent, to the point where he's the only one Belladonna doesn't have negative feelings towards. Unfortunately, Narec was murdered by an angry mob.
649* {{Expy}}: Not of a specific character, but her physical description matches the Battle Girl Trainer Class from Generation IV. James even calls her one when they meet.
650* ExtremityExtremist: When fighting, she only uses her fists.
651* HappilyAdopted: She was quite happy with her adoptive father, a martial artist named Kyle Narec, up until he ended up being murdered by an angry mob in Azalea Town.
652* HostileWeather: Her birth parents were killed in Typhoon Urobuchi when she was very young.
653* MegatonPunch: She's a Power-Up Punch Technique Bloodliner.
654* NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished: As a child, she once saved a baby carriage from rolling into the traffic. All she got for her trouble was getting herself badly beaten and her adoptive father lynched by a mob ([[UngratefulBastard including the baby's mother, no less]]) for stepping on a Slowpoke's tail accidentally.
655* PowerPerversionPotential: Loves it when Belladonna uses poison fang on her during their make-out sessions.
656* ShamelessFanserviceGirl: Downplayed; she at least doesn't have issues with sleeping topless, and didn't bother to cover herself when she snuck up on Hilda, who was a complete stranger to her at that point.
657* TokenEvilTeammate: A slight example, but unlike Belladonna she'd be fine with working to take over the world, a goal that Aurora would likely have absolutely ''no'' interest in and Vedia has no shown interest in.
658* TomboyishPonytail: She wears her hair in a ponytail, and she's not very feminine.

662[[folder:The Bloodline King and his Organization]]
663!!!The Bloodline King
664->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Clay Interlude (mentioned)
665
666A mysterious individual seeking world domination, apparently through building an army of Bloodliners.
667----
668* ArchnemesisDad: [[spoiler:He is "G", meaning he is this to Ash.]]
669* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Previously teased as this, but confirmed by Sabrina as someone Ash knew in the original timeline.
670* CoolCrown: If [=MissingNo's=] picture of him in Chapter 26 is any indication, he wears one of these.
671* DiabolicalMastermind: Despite his name, he isn't actually a monarch, "just" (in the author's words) a powerful and influential egotist. To put it one way, he's more ComicBook/{{Magneto}} than ComicBook/DoctorDoom.
672* TheDreaded: At least to those who know of his existence.
673* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: So far. [[spoiler:Only his initial, G, is known.]]
674* TheFaceless: No physical description has been given of 'him', other than he apparently has [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing]] red [[RedEyesTakeWarning eyes]] if the drawing [=MissingNo=] makes of him is any indication.
675* MightMakesRight: He certainly believes that this should be the case.
676* MisanthropeSupreme: The Bloodline King and his followers think of humans as inherently inferior, and thus they should rule over them. They also extend this view to Pokemon, considering them inferior as well due to their (usually) lower intelligence.
677* MoreThanMindControl: The form his Dominion Bloodline takes. He's even able to do things like trigger ovulations.
678* NonIndicativeName: No, he doesn't have a kingdom.
679* NotSoSimilar: To Sabrina. Both are social darwinists and responsible for the deaths of innocent people, but their ideal views on life are radically different. Sabrina's ideal world is a Meritocracy where the people who are above average in something can live and the average masses are non-existent or at least not a 'threat' to the talented, with this category being regardless of exact species. The Bloodline King follows a master race mentality where the winner is simply being a Bloodliner, with him as the biggest winner of all and misery for all who aren't like him.
680* OffingTheOffspring: [[spoiler:Had his own son John Archer killed for being sterile and thus "useless" to him.]]
681* ParentalFavoritism: [[spoiler:Apparently favors his oldest son, the Bloodliner Prince, as his heir]].
682* RedEyesTakeWarning: If the drawing [=MissingNo=] makes of him is any indication.
683* SexGod: According to Sabrina he has a 'reputation'. [[spoiler:Fathering hundreds of kids all over the world is easier with this trope in play]].
684* TheSocialDarwinist: In his opinions Bloodliners deserve to rule over normal humans and Pokémon, with himself at the top.
685* SuperBreedingProgram: He has one of these to expand his forces. At the end of Chapter 15, he has his Emissary kidnap the Sensational Sisters to force them into it, and it's implied that he's kidnapped others as ''infants'' to induct them into his ranks.
686* SuperSupremacist: Believes that Bloodliners should rule over humans, and that he should hold supreme power.
687* WeCanRuleTogether: Offered Sabrina the chance to be his queen, but she refused.
688
689!!!The Emissary
690->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Clair Interlude (mentioned)
691
692A servant of the Bloodline King, who apparently travels around searching for potential material to expand their ranks.
693----
694* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: His real name, if he has one, is unknown.
695* InTheHood: Wears a dark brown hooded cloak, presumably to hide his identity.
696* MouthOfSauron: Serves as this to the Bloodline King.
697* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: Beyond making some rather disturbing remarks about the Sensational Sisters' fate, he also doesn't refer to Belladonna by name when talking to Sabrina in Chapter 26, instead calling her a 'byproduct'.
698* VillainTeleportation: It's heavily implied that he's capable of this.
699
700!!! The Executioner
701->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned)
702
703A servant of the Bloodline King, and apparently brother of the Emissary.
704----
705* TheGhost: Only mentioned so far.
706* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: It's obvious you ''don't'' want to have this guy close.
707
708!!! The Bloodline Prince
709->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (mentioned)
710
711The eldest son and first child of the Bloodline King and his heir. [[spoiler:Hilda]] works directly under him.
712----
713
714* ALighterShadeOfBlack: According to [[spoiler:Hilda]], he is this to his father. Mostly under the idea that in his world, only humans would be put down (against his father who would do it to Pokemon as well).
715* {{Polyamory}}: The Prince and his 'lovelies', including Hilda and Siri.
716* TheStarscream: Interested in seeing his father overthrown.
717* WellIntentionedExtremist: Hilda paints him as one, saying that he wants to raise Pokemon up alongside bloodliners, even if humans are put down.
718
719!!! Hilda
720->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (flashback) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020
721
722A observer of the Fuschia Tag Tournament and of Bloodliners. A Zoroark Bloodliner.
723----
724
725* AdaptationalVillainy: This is not a typical Hilda when it comes to morality.
726* EvenEvilHasStandards: Seemed to genuinely be trying to comfort Belladonna at one point.
727* ExactWords: After her failure to recruit Belladonna, she seems to have wisen up about being so straightforward about her goals. So when she approached [[spoiler:Rubrum]], she says that she and the Prince want to make the world a better place for "him and his siblings", leaving out the fact that doing so means to enslave normal humans.
728* MadMathematician: She litters her speech with lots of math speak, though compared to who she was talking to she prefers math a layman could appreciate.
729* PerkyFemaleMinion: To the Bloodline Prince.
730* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Is White's sister.
731* {{ShapeShifting}}: Akin to how a Zorua is shown doing so in the animated adaption, she is able to change her appearance.
732** ShapeShifterGuiltTrip: Took the form of Aurora when speaking to Belladonna in Chapter 31 and continues to wear it to keep the latter from attacking her.
733* SubordinateExcuse: Casually admits to sleep with the Bloodliner Prince.
734* VillainRespect: Given her ambiguous state, she has this for Ash, as well as Red to some extent.
735
736!!!Siri
737->'''Appears in''': Main Story
738A Gardevoir Species Bloodliner and ally of Hilda as another follower and lover of the Bloodliner Prince.
739----

742* PsychicPowers: Which she uses to teleport herself and Hilda away in Chapter 31.

749
750A remnant creature from the old timeline, who seems to enjoy tormenting Ash.
751----
752
753* AdaptationalAbomination: The original [=MissingNo=] is a GlitchEntity, but this version is outright considered the equivalent of ''the devil''.
754* AdaptationalBadass: This monster has powers and abilities well beyond what the original glitch could do.
755* AdaptationalIntelligence: [=MissingNo=] showed no signs of such diabolical intelligence in the games.
756* AdaptationalJerkass: [=MissingNo=] in the games is relatively benign. To say this one is anything but would be an understatement.
757* AdaptationalPersonalityChange: The original [=MissingNo=] had basically no personality, while this one is a sadistic sociopath.
758* AdaptationalVillainy: In [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue the games]], [=MissingNo=] was nothing more than a GlitchEntity in the game, and a relatively benign one at that – the only real damage it did was to the Hall of Fame data. Here, it's the Pokémon equivalent of {{Satan}}, complete with [[DealWithTheDevil Faustian bargains]]. It appears only to mess with Ash's head and tell him [[spoiler:that bad things will happen to his friends from the original timeline]], done as vaguely as possible with the full knowledge Ash can't do anything to realistically stop it. It also mentions that some of these horrible events have already happened, such as [[spoiler:the deaths of Brock's parents]]. It even expresses disappointment that [[spoiler:Norman managed to prevent May from suffering a tragedy]].
759* BaldOfEvil: Appears as a bald man in front of Wicke, and later assumes a similar appearance when meeting Guzma during the Glitch War events.
760* TheCorrupter: [[spoiler:It might be responsible for William Stronger's StartOfDarkness.]]
761* DarkIsEvil: Associated with darkness in many ways and very, very evil.
762* DealWithTheDevil: Is implied to give these.
763* DependingOnTheWriter: Cross writes it as a very sinister and menacing figure, though with an apparent comedic streak. Fox tends to emphasize its malevolence and creepiness, with horribly malicious schemes and a good deal of innocent blood on its hands, if only indirectly. Viroro, on the other hand, plays up its comic side a bit more, with it coming off as more of a petty, bullying douche than anything. It's also a good deal less successful -- with even Viroro admitting it's something of a ButtMonkey in his hands -- and overall seems more like an example of TheDevilIsALoser than anything.
764* DreamWalker: Chapter 24 has it enter one of Ash's weirder dreams, and comment that the boy can have crazy dreams without its help.
765* DreamWeaver: Its very first appearance has it creating a dream for Ash, showing him some glimpses of what would have happened had the original timeline not been destroyed by Cyrus.
766* EldritchAbomination: Is the part that's leftover from the original timeline.
767* EnemyMine: With the Storytelling Gastly, needing his help to track down ZZAZZ's fragments across the timeline during the Glitch War.
768* EvilVersusOblivion: The Evil to ZZAZZ's Oblivion during the Glitch War events.
769* FauxAffablyEvil: Always speaks to Ash in a genial, almost friendly tone, but it doesn't hide that he sees Ash and his friends as nothing more than playthings to amuse itself by making them miserable. Later appearances however have him lean more to AffablyEvil territory, notably during and after the Glitch War events.
770* FeatheredFiend: Mina dreams about it fighting SantaClaus while in the form of a dark purple bird. He assumes this form for a large part of the Glitch War events.
771* ForgotFlandersCouldDoThat: At one point it mass clones the Dude's Pokeballs, a nod to one of its abilities in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue its original game]] known as the Item Duplication Glitch, but he never seems to use the Item Duplication Glitch on Ash's items.
772* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Invoked while Ash is trapped in Hunter J's ship, taking on the forms of Serena, Dawn and Iris (albeit with their edges pixelated) to mess with his head. He later shows up as SM Ash in chapter 26.
773* GlitchEntity: Similar to how it was in [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue its original game]], it's a "glitch in the system", being composed of what's left of the original timeline.
774* GodhoodSeeker: Tries (the key word being ''tries'') by getting people to form a cult worshipping it. [[spoiler:[[EpicFail It instead has them worshipping Omanyte and Omastar]].]]
775* GoodFeelsGood: After the Glitch War, he admits to himself he enjoyed fighting on the side of "good" guys for a change, and the sentiment continues in the Holiday Special 2020.
776* HybridMonster: The form it takes when first talking to Ash. It has the body of Origin Forme Giratina, the arms of Palkia, and Dialga's head. All of these parts are colored differently than they would be on their respective owners.
777* IHaveManyNames: [=MissingNo=] mentions that he's been called (among other things) {{Satan}}, the Devil, Anti-Helix, the Domed One, and Atropius.
778* {{Jerkass}}: Not only is it deeply cruel and malevolent, it's also a bullying, trolling asshole.
779* KnightOfCerebus: Generally, the tone of the story gets considerably darker during its (brief) appearances. There are exceptions, though, mostly involving the Dude.
780* MixAndMatchCritters: In his first encounter with Ash, he takes the form of a hybrid creature with Origin Giratina's body, Palkia's arms, and Dialga's head, all parts in different colors from the original ones.
781* NoSell: Able to essentially ignore anything Ash and his Pokémon throw at it.
782* OurDemonsAreDifferent: Some of the nicknames it's received imply it to be demonic in nature.
783* RealityWarper: Can glitch reality to make the Dude's Pokeballs multiply indefinitely with the intention of crushing the Dude beneath their weight. It was shocked that only was the Dude manages to use them up fast enough to escape that fate, all the Rattata he caught were donated to Joey and Tristan's Common Rodent Appreciation Society, saving their Christmas.
784* TimeMaster: Capable of travelling through time.
785* {{Troll}}: He loves taunting Ash with knowledge of the previous timeline while Ash is powerless to do anything about it. And he takes the time to taunt even random Dudes.
786* VillainsNeverLie: While it's certainly malevolent, it seems to have never told an outright lie thus far. [[spoiler:It drives William Stronger to go on a Bloodliner killing spree by telling him the truth -- or at least part of it -- about a possible future]].
787* VoluntaryShapeshifting: Seems to be capable of this. In one instance, he takes on the forms of [[AFormYouAreComfortableWith Dawn, Iris and Serena]] just to torment Ash.
788* WeaksauceWeakness: As it turns out, the reason he rarely takes a physical form in the real world is because that makes him vulnerable.
789
790!!!ZZAZZ
791->'''Appears in''': 100th Sidestory Special - The Glitch War | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (mentioned)
792
793A glitch entity originated from [=MissingNo=]'s constant travels across the timeline, with similar abilities.
794----
795
796* AntagonisticOffspring: Of a sort. [=MissingNo=] calls him "son" after learning he originated from him, though he later does so mockingly.
797* EvilVersusOblivion: The Oblivion to [=MissingNo=]'s Evil, wanting to turn reality into a world of nothingness.
798* GrandTheftMe: Attempted it on [=MissingNo=] and almost succeeded, but the latter managed to scatter his pieces across the timeline.
799* KillOneOthersGetStronger: His remnants grow stronger every time one gets destroyed during the Glitch War events.
800* RealityWarper: Like [=MissingNo=], though it seems he's less experienced at it.
801
802
803!!!The Old Chateau Ghosts
804->'''Appear in''': Gardenia Interlude | Sho Interlude (mentioned)
805
806Two ghosts that haunt the Old Chateau in the Eterna Forest, a little girl and a butler. They lure their victims to their place and keep their existence in the world of the living by draining their life force.
807----
808
809* AdaptationalVillainy: Played with. In the games they're mostly harmless, but in this story they're based on their Generations incarnations.
810* BigNo: Both of them do this [[spoiler:when Gardenia and Rotom destroy the stone anchoring them to the living world.]]
811* CreepyChild: The little girl.
812* DraggedOffToHell: Once Gardenia and Rotom destroy the stone keeping them tethered to the world of the living, they're absorbed by a spiraling vortex into the afterlife.
813* GhostButler: Guess who.
814* LifeDrain: They keep themselves in the world of the living by feeding on human life force.
815* OneWingedAngel: The butler has a form that resembles a giant Haunter.
816* OurGhostsAreDifferent: Aside from the LifeDrain above, they also require an "anchor" (in this case, a large shining rock) to keep them tethered in the living world.
817* RedEyesTakeWarning: Both of them do this when they attack Gardenia and Sho.

820[[folder:The Seven Brothers and Related Baddies (Unmarked Spoilers)]]
821!!!The Brothers in General
822->'''Appear in''': Main Story (mentioned)
823
824The sons of an infamous criminal from Orre. Only one of them managed to get away from her abuse, with the other six eventually killing her off and becoming notorious criminals themselves. They made an agreement of not to rat the others or having any children, lest that the legacy of their mother resurfaces, though it's clear that one of them is ''not'' respecting the latter part.
825
826
827For tropes specific to the C brother Cappricio, see the Cipher character folder. For tropes specific to the D brother Descant, see the Other Villains character folder.
828----
829
830* AlphabeticalThemeNaming: Their initials go from A to G, in their birth order.
831* ConnectedAllAlong: On initial glance, ''none'' of them look like they'd share a connection, but they are ultimately the key factor connecting a large amount of the subplots together.
832** The A brother, Accentus, is one of the criminals the G-Men were assigned to apprehend.
833** The B brother, Balaur, was arrested by Nanu in Alola some years prior.
834** The C brother, Cappricio, is an admin for Team Cipher and responsible for attacking Kalos' Ninja Village.
835** The D brother, Descant, is the Pride Sniper who worked alongside Hunter J.
836** The F Brother, Felgrand, is the criminal Ash fought in Celadon city and was later captured by Team Rocket.
837** The G Brother is the father of numerous Bloodliners across the world, as well as the ''Bloodline King''.
838** The mother, Heratia, was the criminal Gligarman defeated but failed to stop from being killed by her children.
839** One of the fathers, Tarasque, was Gurkinn's fellow disciple and the one who stole the power of Mega Evolution for evil.
840* EvilUncle: The rest who are not the ArchnemesisDad or the WhiteSheep are this to Ash and the rest of his half-siblings.
841* FreudianExcuse: If Felgrand is to be believed, the abuse they suffered at the hands of their mother is the reason why they're so awful.
842* HonorAmongThieves: They call each other by their initials as a way to respect their pact of not ratting out the others. They also swore to never had children (with Balaur even getting a vasectomy to ensure he could not break it), and Felgrand is ''not'' happy to learn one of them hasn't kept his word on this.
843* MuggleBornOfMages: Their mother is a bloodliner, but they all were born normal humans, barring the youngest one.
844* OlderThanTheyLook: None have been described as looking that old, despite the fact that the Holiday Special 2017 shows that even the youngest of them is old enough to remember a time pre Oak, making them all over 40 years old, and in all likelihood being at least 50.
845* OriginalCharacter: They lack canon counterparts, the sole exception being the G brother, the true identity of the Bloodline King and Ash's biological father, who, according to Sabrina, ''is'' someone Ash met on his journey in the original world.
846* SelfMadeOrphan: Felgrand and the other evil brothers killed their mother.
847* ThemeNaming: Two themes are common among the brothers and their related characters.
848** Music themes: Accentus is a real life musical company, Cappricio is a lively music set, his second in command Stradivarius is a type of violin.
849** Dragon themes: A Baluar is a type of Romanian Dragon, Felgrand is a Dragon-type Arcetype in Yu-Gi-Oh, Hera(tia) is associated with the dragon Ladon, and Tarasque is a type of French Dragon.
850* WhiteSheep: The E brother was the only one who got away from their abusive mother, and the only one who is not a criminal.

852!!!The Mother of the Seven Criminal Brothers/Heratia
853->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (Mentioned)| Head Gym Leader Drake Interlude (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (mentioned)
854
855A infamous criminal from Orre and the mother of seven sons, six of whom went on to commit crimes. She is long dead by the start of the story, but her legacy is present in the form of her criminal sons.
856----
857
858* AbusiveParents: Was ''very'' abusive to her sons. Among her abuses include forbidding sleep if they do not learn skills she found valuable. Such skills weren't simple ones like cooking or cleaning, but things as complicated as ancient languages and Pokemon raising. This could apparently be enforced by her bloodline, go on for ''48'' hours, and would be also used as punishment for displeasing her. They eventually [[TheDogBitesBack killed her in retaliation.]]
859* AssholeVictim: By all accounts, her death was well-deserved.
860* BadPowersBadPeople: An abusive mother who could apparently manipulate people's emotions.
861* EvilMatriarch: See above.
862* FacialMarkings: According to Felgrand, she had Z-shaped birthmarks on her cheeks. This is the major hint that anyone else who has them is related to her.
863* MeaningfulName: Her name contains [[Myth/ClassicalMythology Hera]] in it, referencing the Queen of the Greek Gods. A queen who is well versed in the Greek hat of JerkassGods.
864* MindRape: Her bloodline gave her the ability to affect people's minds, according to Felgrand.
865* PredecessorVillain: To the infamous criminal brothers as their mother, though they hate her for her abuse.
866* StatuesqueStunner: Given that her possible granddaughter Belladonna was described as looking a lot like her by Felgrand, she was likely rather tall.
867* TakeOurWordForIt: WordOfGod once called her a worse parent than ''[[Anime/KillLaKill Ragyo Kiryuin]]'' and ''Ghetsis'' put together. We don't know exactly ''what'' she did, but it was enough for her sons to swear to never reproduce just in case her Bloodline skips a generation. Unfortunately for the others, the G brother broke that agreement. [[invoked]]
868* ThemeNaming: Named her sons alphabetically. She herself has the letter right after their name, H, to her name. What she'd have done with more children afterwards is hard to say.
869
870!!!Accentus
871->'''Appears in''': Pokémon G-Men Gaiden
872
873The oldest of the seven brothers.
874----
875
876* BadassNormal: The guy is able to fight Pokémon to the death ''on his own'', as well as take their attacks and shrug them off as if they're nothing.
877* FacialMarkings: He has Z-shaped marks, just like many of his nieces and nephews.
878* ForTheEvulz: When asked why he kills everyone, he replies "Because I choose to".
879* SwordAndGun: Wields a sword and a machine gun when he raids the forest sanctuary.
880* VillainousFriendship: Forms one with Dainsleif. Fittingly given that they both love going on killing sprees just because.
881* WillingChanneler: Allows Dainsleif to possess him in a mutually beneficial arrangement.
882

890* MeaningfulName: [[http://www.sarahsawyer.com/2011/10/mythic-creature-the-balaur/ A Balaur]] is a creature from Romanian Folklore: a many headed Dragon that represents evil. Known for being strong, wicked, and cruel such a creature is a fitting namesake for a villain that a warrior, such as Nanu, might combat.
891* PerpetualFrowner: According to Nanu, he never smiles.

895->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (Mentioned)
896
897
898The second youngest of the Seven Brothers from Orre.
899----
900
901* BoomerangBigot: He's not a bloodliner, but he has a strong hatred for them, and his mother was one.
902* ChekhovsGunman: At first he seems like just a VillainOfTheWeek for Ash, but he returns in [[WhamEpisode Chapter 23]] to play a very important role in the story.
903* DishingOutDirt: Has an Onix and a Rhyhorn.
904* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's a crook and a murderer, but at least he's kept his word to do nothing that could result in [[BadPowersBadPeople his]] mother's [[{{Pun}} bloodline]] being inherited, unlike his younger brother.
905* {{Expy}}: Seems like one of Giovanni, at least from his first encounter in the games (fights the hero in Celadon City, and his team has an Onix, a Kangaskhan and a Rhyhorn).
906* FantasticRacism: He calls Ash a "freak" the moment he realizes he's a bloodliner. It's heavily implied this has something to do with his mother.
907* HopeSpot: After his operation gets busted by Ash, he escapes and is ready to start anew, but then the Team Rocket trio shows up, and they're ''not'' happy to see someone else stealing Pokémon in their turf.
908* {{Matricide}}: He and his other brothers (bar E) killed their mother.
909* NonElemental: His Kangaskhan.
910* WorfHadTheFlu: It's likely that the main reason the TR trio was able to capture him is because all his Pokémon had previously been defeated by Ash.
911
912!!!The Youngest Brother/ G
913->'''Appears in''': Main Story (Mentioned) | Johanna Gaiden | Luana Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017
914
915The youngest of the Seven Brothers from Orre, father of Ash Ketchum and all the rest of his siblings. The only one to inherit his mother's bloodline.
916----
917
918* ArchnemesisDad: He's the father of Ash, Red, John Archer, Belladonna and many others, and will most likely become this to them at some point. At least a few of them want to punch him, in any case.
919* CanonCharacterAllAlong: Per Sabrina's words, this character is one who appeared in the anime at some point.
920* DarwinistDesire: He spent years tracing lineages to find women carrying the genes for bloodliner traits to sleep with. The children inherited his bloodline, while also having the RecessiveSuperGenes their mothers carried flare up.
921* DeconstructedCharacterArchetype: The author has admitted that several aspects of him are meant to be a deconstruction of a typical harem fic character. Like one of those characters he sleeps with a mind boggling amount of women all across the story universe with often little build up, with him being known for being attractive and with unusually high stamina. However unlike those characters there are virtually, if not entirely, no people who he slept with who remember him fondly (most who mention him ''loathe'' him), his activities left kids everywhere, powers were involved in causing a number of these encounters and most of the resulting pregnancies, his borderline AnatomicallyImpossibleSex aspect served a purpose beyond power fantasy, and said power fantasy aspect is taken from an out of universe reason, to an in-universe reason.
922* DirtyOldMan: Subverted. While he deliberately seeks out women much younger than him to sleep with, he has sex with them mostly because of their genes and fertility. Getting his rocks off seems to be, at most, a very distant second.
923* EnfantTerrible: Killed his mother at the age of ''10''. Age did not make him any better, as he was murdering random people and escaping prison by age 15.
924* EvilCannotComprehendGood: He can't understand why Gligarman found him and his brothers killing their mother when she was down to be unsettling. Likewise, he thinks that the actions of his good brother [[ThePowerOfFriendship in befriending Pokémon]] to help him escape his mother, and Professor Oak changing the world for the better make no sense whatsoever.
925* GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion: Wicke's glimpse into a ForWantOfANail universe implies that he uses his bloodline to invoke this with the women he seduces.
926* MoreThanMindControl: His manifestation of his mother's bloodline, which he used to seduce (in some cases) the mothers of his children, keep them from aborting the resulting kids, and even causing ovulation when necessary.
927* NoNameGiven: He's still the only (evil) brother whose real name remains unknown.
928* ReallyGetsAround: See the General Supporting page for ''most'' of his children. It's mentioned he did ''years'' of research before he started getting around, to find the ''right'' women. By Word of God, the only group he ''did not'' sleep with at some point are the Draconids (a very secretive tribe who'd he struggle to find information on which of them would be ''right'', let alone get access to them for getting around purposes) and the Ultra Megalopians (who live in ''another universe'' and he'd have no real way of knowing).
929* TheSociopath: His part of the holiday special makes him out to be one in unsettling detail.
930* TallDarkAndHandsome: And he's not afraid to use it to his advantage.
931* YoungestChildWins: Only he got his mother's Bloodline.
932
933!!!Tarasque
934->'''Appears in''': Head Gym Leader Drake Interlude (mentioned)
935
936A former student of the Tower of Mastery alongside Gurkinn, who betrayed the Tower and the city itself to help Heratia. The father of one of the brothers.
937----
938
939* DeceptiveDisciple: Gurkinn believes he was this. How much of it is true is uncertain, though.
940* TheGhost: Only mentioned so far.
941* OutlawCouple: Was this with Heratia, at least for a time.
942* SuperMode: Was able to use Mega Evolution for evil purposes.
943* VillainousLineage: His father was imprisoned for life, and Gurkinn thinks he was destined to be just like him.

947[[folder:Villainous Pokémon]]
948!!!One Eye and his Crash
949->'''Appears in''': Luana Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017
950
951A group of Pokemon that swore revenge on humans after suffering abuse or being abandoned by them. They consist of a Rhydon, who is their leader, and an Electabuzz and a Lickitung.
952----
953
954* {{Autocannibalism}}: After his eye gets destroyed, One Eye ''eats'' what's left of it to deny his adversaries a trophy.
955* CoveredWithScars: One Eye has plenty of scars on his chest and face.
956* DarkActionGirl: Lickitung is female, and has few (if any) qualms about attacking human settlements.
957* DishingOutDirt: One Eye, their leader, is a Ground and Rock-type.
958* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: They clearly care deeply about one another.
959** Later, they even adopt an abandoned egg
960* EyeScream: One Eye became one-eyed as a result of Luana's Marowak's attack impaling his eye.
961* {{Foil}}: To Twenty Gyarados Bill's army. While the Gyarados were set down a path towards mass murder by their trainer, the crash turned on humanity because they were abused and abandoned by humans. Also unlike the homogenous group of Gyarados, this group is quite heterogeneous, despite being far less numerous (at least at the time of their encounter with Luana).
962* FreudianExcuse: One Eye lost his blood family, Electabuzz was abandoned because he was called a freak for having extra digits, and Lickitung was used and used until she was abandoned herself.
963* TheLeader: One Eye is clearly the one in charge.
964* MagnetismManipulation: Electabuzz knows Magnet Rise, which is very helpful in the fight against Luana's Marowak.
965* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: One Eye barely seems fazed when he gets a bone lodged in his eye, even when he pulls it out.
966* MonsterAdventurers: A villainous example.
967* MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch: Most Rhydon hate water, for understandable reasons. But One Eye knows how to swim.
968* NonElemental: Lickitung, of course.
969* RedRightHand: Electabuzz has extra digits. Indirectly, they're actually the reason ''why'' he's evil, since he was abandoned because of them, which instilled a violent hatred of humans in him.
970* {{Revenge}}: Their entire motivation.
971* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: What their actions amount to.
972* ShockAndAwe: Electabuzz, of course.
973* TrueCompanions: To the point that One Eye considers them his family.
974* VillainExitStageLeft: At the climax of Luana Gaiden, the trio flee from Luana after suffering injuries, but not before dealing significant damage themselves.
975
976!!!Nidoking of the Safari Zone
977->'''Appears in''': Kangaskhan Kid Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (mentioned)
978
979A tyrant of a Pokemon who is responsible for Tommy getting stranded in the Safari Zone.
980----
981
982* AbusiveParents: Even his own children aren't exempt from his tyranny.
983* TheJuggernaut: Any single Pokemon trying to fight him will get soundly pummeled. It took the efforts of ''dozens'' of Pokemon of the Safari zone to bring him down, and he still took a lot of punishment before going down.
984* WouldHurtAChild: His own kids aside, [[spoiler:he killed the baby of the Kangaskhan that would later adopt Tommy]].
985
986!!!Gengar of the Drowning Woods
987->'''Appears in''': Agatha & Sam Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 | Ghosts of Maiden's Peak Interlude (mentioned)
988
989An evil and sadistic Gengar that rules the Drowning Woods.
990----
991
992* ForcedTransformation: Is able to [[spoiler:turn human souls into Gastlys]].
993* ForTheEvulz: Its only reasons to torment humans is just to amuse itself. It downright tells Agatha and Sam that it sees humans just as toys to play with, then "break" them once they're no longer entertaining, and find more toys.
994* HowTheMightyHaveFallen: When Agatha and Oak were teens, he ruled the Drowning Woods, had a small army of Ghost types, mind controled other Pokemon into doing his bidding, and did unspeakable things to any unlucky human that crossed its path. Decades later, it's weak and malnourished, and only has a few followers left [[spoiler:once Agatha pretty much purges the Woods from most Ghost types]].
995* LaserGuidedKarma: Decades later, he's defeated by [[spoiler: the same kid he killed and turned into a Gastly.]]
996* MindControl: It's somehow able to make other non-Ghost type Pokemon to do its bidding.
997* YourSoulIsMine: Rips [[spoiler:Tony's]] soul out of his body, [[spoiler:and turns it into a Gastly]].
998
999!!!Dainsleif
1000->'''Appears in''': Pokémon G-Men Gaiden
1001
1002A Shiny Aegislash who goes on killing sprees, and later teams up with Accentus.
1003----
1004
1005* BlackEyesOfCrazy: People possessed by it gains these.
1006* DemonicPossession: Can possess people, either living or otherwise. Accentus, however, becomes a WillingChanneler for it.
1007* EvilWeapon: It's a living sword and shield after all.
1008* ExtraOreDinary: Part Steel-type.
1009* ForTheEvulz: Likes to go on murderous rampages for the hell of it. Having this in common with Accentus is a huge factor in their team-up.
1010* LuckilyMyShieldWillProtectMe: Can use King's Shield.
1011* MeaningfulName: It's named after King Hogni's sword, which is to be used to kill a man every time it's unsheathed.
1012* SoulPower: Part Ghost-type.
1013* VillainousFriendship: Forms one with Accentus.
1014
1015[[/folder]]
1016
1017[[folder:Other Villains]]
1018!!!Hunter J
1019->'''Appears in''': Main Story | Butterfree Interlude (mentioned) | Big P Pokémon Race Interlude (mentioned) | Black Rose Tournament Interlude (mentioned) | Elite Four Drake Interlude | Gligarman Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (mentioned)
1020
1021A hunter-for-hire who takes jobs of stealing rare and valuable Pokémon for her clients.
1022----
1023* ThirteenIsUnlucky: Combined with NumberOfTheBeast, Hunter J has a bank account number 1366613.
1024* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Ash encounters her as early as Kanto, while in canon he only met her in Sinnoh.
1025* CombatPragmatist: Like in canon, she doesn't have a problem with attacking another trainer during a Pokemon battle.
1026* DragonRider: She's seen often riding her Salamence.
1027* TheDreaded: Quite a fearsome figure, to the point that even hardened members of the criminal underworld are relieved that they won't have to go up against her. It gives some perspective to her fear of the Bloodline King.
1028* EvilPoacher: Her general business.
1029* EvilVersusEvil: She's in direct competition with Team Rocket, and hates being in their territory more than necessary.
1030* FantasticRacism: Implied to be at least very wary of Bloodliners, judging by her interactions with the Emissary.
1031* INeedAFreakingDrink: After finishing her job from the Bloodliner King.
1032* NervesOfSteel: The woman remains calm and collected during most of her confrontation with Drake. Same later against the bloodliner vigilante Flamestorm.
1033* NumberOfTheBeast: See above.
1034* OffscreenVillainDarkMatter: Averted. She needs money for her operations, and after the Emissary threatens her with exposing her bank accounts, she's forced to accept the Bloodline King's job.
1035* OlderHeroVsYoungerVillain: She's the younger villain to Drake's older hero during their confrontation.
1036* PsychoForHire: Like in canon, she's still a sociopath who only cares about profit.
1037* VillainousValour: J may be a lot of horrible things, but as demonstrated in Elite Four Drake Interlude, cowardly is not one of them.
1038* VillainTeamUp: Forms a temporary alliance with the Pride Sniper.
1039* WouldHurtAChild: She still has no compunctions harming children, since she had no problem kidnapping Ash or ordering her Pokemon to kill Michelle and Bianca for getting in her way.
1040
1041!!!Twenty Gyarados Bill
1042->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned) | Falkner Gaiden (mentioned) | Joey Interlude (mentioned) | Twenty Gyarados Bill Gaiden | Sabrina Gaiden (mentioned) | Sho Interlude (mentioned) | Lara Gaiden (mentioned) | Clair Interlude (mentioned) | Black Arachnid Gaiden (mentioned) | Head Gym Leader Drake Interlude (mentioned) | Pokémon G-Men Gaiden (mentioned and vision) | Solidad Interlude (mentioned)
1043
1044A man who went on to terrorize the coast of Johto with his army of Gyarados, and the reason for the currently set six active Pokémon limit for trainers.
1045----
1046
1047* BadassArmy: His twenty Gyarados. It took another BadassArmy to defeat them.
1048* BreakoutVillain: The guy went from a one off mentioned historical footnote to one of, if not ''the'' most impactful character on the backstory of the Resetverse.
1049* {{Determinator}}: As Sabrina noted, it takes a lot of this to raise an army of Gyarados.
1050* DragonRider: He was often seen riding atop First's head during his rampages.
1051* TheDreaded: According to Lara, even in death, his name can fill any Johton old enough to have lived when he was rampaging with terror. The Clair one-shot also shows that even younger Johtoans fear Gyarados more than their counterparts in other regions because of Bill.
1052* DyingSmirk: After being fatally injured, he dies smiling, knowing that nobody will ''ever'' laugh at him again.
1053* EliteArmy: Though his Gyarados numbered only twenty, they were a great menace to Johto.
1054* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: He and his Gyarados were genuinely close, partly because they empathized with each other. It was enough to allow Bill to Mega Evolve his first Gyarados.
1055* EvilRedhead: The narration of his gaiden describes him as having red hair.
1056* EvilVirtues: As Sabrina notes, he may have been a mass murderer, but his hard work and determination were qualities that could be respected. Also, Jasmine later acknowledges that he had a strong bond with his Gyarados to be able to achieve and control Mega-Evolution on his first try.
1057* FaceDeathWithDignity: When fatally wounded, [[DyingSmirk he smiles in triumph]] before collapsing dead along with his Mega-Gyarados.
1058* FromNobodyToNightmare: Started off as a simple crewman in a fishing boat before he became the terror of coastal Johto. [[MonsterFangirl Sabrina]] actually finds this the most admiring part about him because she sees it as proof that even the mediocre can achieve great things, ''if'' they put their minds to it.
1059* HeadPet: Inverted. Bill was known for riding on First's head.
1060* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Loyalty. He managed to inspire a lot of devotion in his Gyarados, ensuring that they would follow him to the bitter end.
1061* InstantExpert: He masters Mega Evolution on his first try, a point Jasmine would later bring up when instructing Sho.
1062* KingpinInHisGym: While his Magikarp were working on gaining levels and evolving, he was also working on becoming more athletic.
1063* MotiveRant: Gave one where he stated he was sick of all the mockery he received before having his Gyarados destroy the harbour.
1064* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: [[BadassArmy Twenty]] Gyarados [[TomTheDarkLord Bill]].
1065* NumericalThemeNaming: Due to the need to differentiate his twenty Pokémon, Bill began calling them First, Second, and so on early in their training.
1066* OneSteveLimit: Averted, his real name is shared with a guy in Kanto that made the PC system there.
1067* OriginalCharacter: He was created out of whole cloth for this fic.
1068* PersonOfMassDestruction: He and his Gyarados ''wrecked'' coastal Johto.
1069* PosthumousCharacter: Died forty years before the start of the story.
1070* PredecessorVillain: Been dead long before Ash was born, but the consequences of his actions are still felt decades later in the present. Generally, he's the reason why there is a six active Pokemon limit, and specifically, Sabrina views him as a source of inspiration and his actions and life story helped shaped her views and turned her into who she is today.
1071* RedBaron: See above.
1072* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Started by killing his fellow crewmen for making fun of him, and then he just let himself get carried away with terrorizing any coastal settlements he could find.
1073* SuperMode: Found a Mega Stone, which he gave to his very first Gyarados. He stole Javelin's Key Stone during their battle to Mega Evolve First.
1074* TomTheDarkLord: If you remove the [[BadassArmy Twenty Gyarados]] part of his name in infamy, Bill isn't really that threatening of a name in it on itself.
1075* VillainousLegacy: After he died, the T.A.T.O agreed to limit the number of active Pokemon for trainers. The fact that decades later, the limit is ''still'' in place is a testament to how devastating his actions were, and will forever show how much he affected the world. Also, to a lesser extent, he provides a reason for Sabrina to take on her current mindset, when she wrote a school essay about him and ''praised'' him, despite being a mass murderer, and his Gyaradosite is now kept by the Blackthorn Dragon Clan. He is also cited by Gurkinn as an example of why he doesn't want Mega Evolution used by evil after the aftermath of First's Mega Evolved rampage.
1076* VillainEpisode: He's a villain and his one-shot centers on him.
1077* WhosLaughingNow: His motivation to go on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge started with his fellow crewmen mocking him.
1078* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: He becomes a ''very'' competent Trainer in only a year, gaining the respect of 20 Gyarados when most trainers are unable to tame one, and can fight a whole army, which includes an Elite Four member with a type advantage to Gyarados, to a standstill. He could easily have made it far in the Pokémon League ([[TheDarkSideWillMakeYouForget which was his original dream]]) had he not been obsessed with getting revenge on those he perceived to have wronged him, and possibly committing SuicideByCop. As if lampshading this, when he jumped into the main author's [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12886903/1/Shudo-cross-Modern-Ash-The-League-Refocused Shudo cross Modern Ash series]], he was mentioned to have become a good and well respected man.
1079
1080!!!The Reaper
1081->'''Appears in''': Main Story (mentioned) | Georgia Gaiden | Clay Interlude (mentioned) | Wicke & Nephew Interlude (mentioned) | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 (mentioned)
1082
1083A SerialKiller who terrorized Unova three years ago. [[spoiler:Secretly was the Striaton Gym Leader, Eric Knudsen.]]
1084----
1085
1086* CallingCard: Carves a small but distinctive mark on his victims' bodies. [[spoiler:It turns out the mark is based on the badges he gives out in his day job as a gym leader]].
1087* CarvedMark: Leaves these on the bodies of his victims as a CallingCard.
1088* MalevolentMaskedMen: Wears a cloak and a mask when carrying out his murders.
1089* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: "The Reaper" is not the name of a friendly guy.
1090* SerialKiller: Murdered at least nine people, including Georgia's parents.
1091* WouldHurtAChild: One of his victims was barely seven years old. He also tried to kill 12-year-old Georgia when she discovered him.
1092* ZorroMark: Left one of these carved on the bodies of each of his victims. [[spoiler:They were based on the badges he gave out in his gym.]]
1093
1094!!!William Stronger AKA The Bloodliner Hunter
1095->'''Appears in''': Ultima Interlude | Pokémon G-Men Interlude (FlashBack) | Mars Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 | Bloodliner Hunter Interlude | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2018 (mentioned) | 100th Sidestory Special - The Glitch War | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2020 (cameo)
1096
1097A former priest turned SerialKiller who targets bloodliners, convinced that he's on a divine mission to save the world from them.
1098----
1099
1100* CombatPragmatist: He uses small devices to disrupt Pokéballs so his victims cannot call their Pokémon for help, plus he also carries around an electric baton to fight directly with it if needed. As shown in his interlude, he's also willing to use knives and guns if he has to.
1101* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: Was wearing a dark trenchcoat during his encounter with Frey.
1102* CrazyPrepared: Aside from the devices he carries, he always seeks to have Pokémon with type advantages against the bloodliners he targets, and he always tries to learn as much about his victims as possible before striking
1103* DisneyVillainDeath: Falls off a cliff into the sea to his death. [[NeverFoundTheBody Or so it seems.]]
1104* DoUntoOthersBeforeTheyDoUntoUs: He justifies his killing spree against bloodliners by claiming it's a preemptive strike against people who will destroy the world if they're left to their own devices.
1105* DreamingOfThingsToCome: During the Ultima Interlude, he claims that every night, he has visions of a BadFuture caused by bloodliners, which is why he feels he ''has'' to exterminate them. Considering he specifically mentions the Bloodliner War, which has already been established to happen in one possible future, he's probably both truthful and accurate about his nightmares being prophetic. Mars Gaiden reveals these were triggered by him making contact with the orb found by Cynthia.
1106* FantasticRacism: The guy goes to extremes to ''kill'' bloodliners at any cost.
1107* TheFundamentalist: He seems to fully believe that he's on a divine mission, and that bloodliners are an abomination against Arceus who need to be purged from the world.
1108* GadgeteerGenius: He's very knowledgeable in electronics and mechanics, being capable of putting together lots of different devices to use in his hunts for Bloodliners.
1109* GoodShepherd: Was this, until the incident with the orb.
1110* HunterOfMonsters: Thinks of himself as this.
1111* IveComeTooFar: He thinks he's past the point of no return with his killings, and is determined to take his mission to the very end.
1112* KnightTemplar: Despite all the innocent blood on his hands, he's fully convinced that he's in the right.
1113* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The nickname "Bloodliner Hunter" really helps to underscore how dedicated and ruthless he is in regards to his attempts to exterminate bloodliners.
1114* NeverFoundTheBody: According to Looker, his corpse has yet to be found, so there's no confirmation that he's actually dead. [[spoiler:Sure enough, he shows up very much alive in Johto several months later.]]
1115* ParentalSubstitute: Was this to Mars' friend Kibou.
1116* RedBaron: Known as the Bloodliner Hunter.
1117* RedemptionRejection: Despite the pleads of [[spoiler:Kibou's ghost/hallucination]], he refuses to stop his killing spree.
1118* SelectiveObliviousness: He seems in denial of [[spoiler:Kibou]] having been a bloodliner.
1119* SerialKiller: According to Looker, he has eight confirmed victims, and six unconfirmed ones.
1120* TheseHandsHaveKilled: He's very much aware of how many people he's killed, but he believes it's too late to turn back.
1121* UnwittingPawn: [[spoiler:To [=MissingNo=].]]
1122* VillainExitStageLeft: Manages to slip away from Frey, who has to choose between chasing him or helping the girl he tried to kill setting her house on fire.
1123* VillainProtagonist: The Bloodliner Hunter Interlude is largely told from his perspective.
1124* WellIntentionedExtremist: His motivation for trying to kill bloodliners, at least in part, is because he thinks it will prevent a devastating war.
1125* WouldHurtAChild: Most of his victims were less than sixteen years old, though it's not mentioned by how much. His youngest known victims were a pair of ten-year-old twins.
1126* WrongGenreSavvy: Assumed that the Gray Poochyena would have a Dark-type affinity based on her name, and thus prepared accordingly.
1127* YoungerThanTheyLook: He's in his mid-to-late thirties, but he's been hardened by life enough to get wrinkles in his face, making him look considerably older.
1128
1129!!!Savitore
1130->'''Appears in''': Bloodliner Hunter Interlude
1131
1132A collaborator of William Stronger, who provides him with intel about his victims and Pokémon to use in his hunts.
1133----
1134* FreudianExcuse: He collaborates with William Stronger in his efforts to get rid of Bloodliners because one apparently killed his son years ago.
1135* {{Sadist}}: Shows some shades of this in his conversations with William Stronger.
1136* WouldHurtAChild: Maybe not directly, but he certainly doesn't bat an eye at providing a serial killer the means to kill children.
1137
1138!!!Neko Hachi AKA The Black Arachnid
1139->'''Appears in''': Black Arachnid Gaiden | Reset Bloodlines Holiday Special 2017 | 100th Sidestory Special - The Glitch War
1140
1141An infamous PhantomThief from Catallia City in Johto.
1142----
1143* AdaptationalHeroism: For all we know from the anime, the original Black Arachnid was just a simple thief after valuable treasures. Here, his targets are only horrible people who need to be exposed for what they they are, and he takes something of historical or monetary value from them as punishment for their actions, never seeking to hurt innocents.
1144* AgeLift: In the Anime, the Black Arachnid was active one century before the present and was likely long dead by the present day. In Reset, Neko only started his heists five years before the main story, and doesn't look to be too old.
1145* TheAlibi: Befriended an Abra and avoided keeping him in a Pokeball to establish them. His existence was exposed during the Denki Memorial Exhibit.
1146* CallingCard: Leaves one with a black spider silhouette after his heists, thus earning his name.
1147* ChildhoodFriends: With Ito Jenny.
1148* EvilFormerFriend: Not exactly "evil" per se, but he's now a criminal and thus Ito Jenny is obligated to arrest him.
1149* FameThroughInfamy: He decides to become famous by committing crimes against people who deserved it.
1150* GentlemanThief: Since he only targets people who deserve it and never harms an innocent (bar one or two non-lethal hits for people who are just doing their jobs in trying to bring him in). He even encourages Ito Jenny to live up to their childhood promise and become the best police officer she can.
1151* GlorySeeker: Was one in his youth but almost gave up, until Sabrina spurred him back into achieving fame somehow.
1152* INeverSaidItWasPoison: Figured out that Sabrina was a Bloodliner when she used his last name when she couldn't have heard it.

1158* VillainExitStageLeft: Always manages to slip away from his pursuers.
1159* VillainProtagonist: Of his gaiden, though it's more of a nominal villain case, since he targets people who are ''way'' worse than him.
1160* VillainTeleportation: Thanks to his Abra.

1183* ColdSniper: Obviously.
