POKEMON TEAM
CUJO | GROWLITHE
Level: 100
Gender: Male
Nature: Quirky, somewhat of a clown.
Moves: Aerial Ace, Covet, Heat Wave, Outrage, Return, Iron Tail, Wild Charge, Mud-Slap, Bite, Roar, Ember, Odor Sleuth, Helping Hand, Flame Wheel, Reversal, Fire Fang, Take Down, Flamethrower, Agility, Crunch, Heat Wave, Play Rough, Flare Blitz.
Type: Fire
Ability: Flash Fire (Powers up Fire-type moves if hit by a fire move.)
Cujo was Heather's very first Pokemon. Unsurprisingly, her relationship with him went through several phases.
Phase 1: VENOMOUS LOATHING. Having come into this whole trainer lifestyle with severe phobias of both fire and dogs securely embedded in her psyche, Cujo was pretty much an overlapping venn diagram of everything she hates. Naturally, she named him after the famous bloodthirsty St. Bernard of Stephen King fame and wouldn't you know it, our hero answered to it immediately despite being on the complete opposite end of the personality spectrum.
Phase 2:
crippling guiltunderstanding. The turning point in their partnership came during an outbreak of surprisingly-awful Ghost-type shenanigans, when she unceremoniously beat the hell out of Cujo with an IV pole, thinking he was a creature from her past. When she emerged from her delusions to find him still right by her side, protecting her from the ghosts anyway, that settled it. She was gonna work through those phobias if it killed her.Phase 3: aw heck. Seven years later, she and Cujo are pretty much inseparable. He may be stinky, stupid, big enough to be mistaken for a small Arcanine, and inexplicably capable of shedding more fur than he actually has at any given time (???? HOW), but Heather can't picture her life without her fluffy orange drool machine.
Cujo isn't smart, but what he lacks in brains he makes up for in love and enthusiasm. There's not a mean bone in his body and while his exuberant lack of respect for personal space bubbles can land him in hot water with more standoffish Pokemon sometimes, he takes it all in stride. Nothing gets him down for longer than a moment, and every new experience is an opportunity for F U N. His boisterous good nature is infectious and anyone not immediately repulsed by the mass of fur and tongue throwing himself at their feet for belly rubs is usually won over within minutes. After all, if a dog can get Heather Mason to warm up to him, nothing's impossible!
That said, despite the bond they've developed, Heather has pointedly avoided the thought of evolving him, even after all this time. She's had a Firestone since mere months after her arrival, yet it's been kept carefully wrapped up in the very bottom of her bag for almost eight years. Banished phobia or not, she's seen what an Arcanine looks like and is secretly a little afraid that if he becomes that big, she'll start being scared of him again.
ARTY | FURRET
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Naughty, proud of its power.
Moves: Whirlpool, Shadow Claw, Super Fang, Uproar, Fury Cutter, Rollout, Swift, Thunder, Dig, U-Turn, Surf, Scratch, Foresight, Defense Curl, Fury Swipes, Helping Hand, Follow Me, Slam, Rest, Sucker Punch, Amnesia, Baton Pass, Me First, Hyper Voice
Type: Normal
Ability: Keen Eye (Prevents the Pokémon from losing accuracy.)
If you spliced Grumpy Cat with a wolverine, you might get something closely resembling Arty. This impressive living scarf is a sourpuss made of pointy ends and salt. Although her species is known for being adorable, the only time Arty makes any effort to look endearing is in front of someone who has food that she wants, and even that act goes out the window once they catch on.
Part of Arty's unsavory attitude has to do with the unorthodox way she joined Heather's team. Being one of the many wild Pokemon sent swarming by an unfortunate Sweet Scent accident on Route 29 immediately after the first of the wayward world-travelers began to appear, the wild Sentret who would one day come to be Arty was not even remotely expecting to have a human being chase her down and physically wrestle her into a Pokeball. Which is literally what happened because Heather had just arrived in Johto and hadn't bothered to read up on the REAL way you were supposed to catch Pokemon. To add insult to injury, Arty's nickname was borne entirely of Heather expressing her displeasure at the whole situation by being as shitty and uncreative as possible ('Raccoon Thing' --> 'R.T.' --> 'Arty'. Yeah, I know).
Arty is pretty much like the oldest child who had to suffer through all the awful parenting mistakes that first-time moms make, and came out of it with a worldview of unflappable surliness. Needless to say, Heather is a much better trainer now than she was when she originally caught Arty, but the Furret's disposition remains antisocial. She tolerates her trainer and team-mates (often grudgingly), but mostly prefers to be left alone.
Though high-leveled and quite fierce in battle, Arty doesn't often join the training roster and usually only shows up in Heather's battle lineups to fill a gap with her versatile movesets-- she'd much rather spend her time lounging around near a heater. That doesn't mean the claws won't come out by her own volition, though... Ask the unfortunate would-be thieves who broke into Heather's hotel room that one time. They'll remember.
CLAUDY | NOCTOWL
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Timid, somewhat vain.
Moves: Nasty Plot, Psychic, Ominous Wind, Twister, Heat Wave, Sky Attack, Tackle, Growl, Foresight, Hypnosis, Peck, Reflect, Confusion, Take Down, Air Slash, Zen Headbutt, Extrasensory, Psycho Shift, Roost, Dream Eater
Type: Normal/Flying
Ability: Insomnia (Prevents the Pokémon from falling asleep.)
Picture an ordinary day. You're like, chilling with your friend Heather, maybe thinking about grabbing a snack, and then she generously offers you some chips from her bag. So you're like WHY NOT and reach in, expecting to feel the crinkly plastic of a bag of Dodritos (tm). Except you don't. You feel a warm, feathered body. Startled, you look in, and see only a pair of glowing red eyes staring up at you from the infernal darkness. The owner of the eyes proceeds to scream like Satan stubbing his toe.
And then you fall over backwards and your dickhead friend Heather is laughing her brains out.
Claudy was the third Pokemon Heather ever obtained (the second that she caught from the wild), mostly as a last resort because she'd been sitting somewhere directly over Heather's sleeping bag and making noises like a possessed hairdryer and who can sleep through that, it's pretty much impossible.
Whenever she wasn't producing ungodly sounds from her sinful beak, Claudy (named for someone from Heather's past, although she's sometimes evasive about stating who) proved to be a very shy and timid Hoothoot with a love of hiding away in dark places. Like, you know, the safety of Heather's bag. This led to many, many instances of poor unsuspecting souls opening it up and coming face to face with unexpected owl laser eyes and a cry of "STOP! YOU ARE UPSETTING THE OWLBAG!" from Heather, who naturally found the whole thing hilarious no matter how many times it happened.
Claudy eventually evolved of course, and went from fearful and anxious to simply quiet and introverted. She can sometimes be aloof, although displays of affection for her trainer and her friends are not unusual-- she has a motherly streak in her and is fiercely protective of any Pokemon she considers her baby, whether she laid their egg or not (case in point: Cheryl). Her love of bags never left her, despite having grown too large to fit in the original backpack (though not for lack of trying). Several months after the evolution, Heather received a large sports bag as a Christmas gift, and, delighted, Claudy promptly moved into it despite her trainer's protests. That is where she now spends most of her time when she's not out hunting or perching on a bedpost giving people creepy judgmental stares.
After Heather met Henry Townshend and his Hoothoot, Walter, Claudy mysteriously laid a clutch of eggs and to date is the only one of Heather's Pokemon to have given birth to her own children. Most of her babies wound up bought by or given to other trainers, although one stayed with Harry Mason and was named Dally.
GODZILLA | FERALIGATR
Level: 100
Gender: Male
Nature: Rash, scatters things often.
Moves: Dragon Tail, Liquidation, Shadow Claw, Hail, Dragon Pulse, Outrage, Seismic Toss, Body Slam, Focus Punch, Return, Surf, Waterfall, Strength, Scratch, Leer, Water Gun, Rage, Bite, Scary Face, Ice Fang, Thrash, Crunch, Slash, Screech, Thrash, Aqua Tail, Superpower, Hydro Pump
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent (Powers up Water-type moves in a pinch.)
Heather first received Godzilla as an egg in a trade, and he proved to be a feisty little thing even moments after hatching-- resisting any and all attempts to be removed from his egg once it started to crack. Hey, who could blame him? It's comfy in there and you don't have to do anything but sleep!
Growing up, Godzilla was a precocious little tyke, but also a walking entity of immaturity and entitlement. Which is fine when you're a baby, but after awhile it wears out its welcome and as the Totodile got bigger and retained the same inflated sense of self-importance, a rift between him and the rest of the team (those jerks) grew. This wasn't helped by his refusal to evolve and open jealousy of new, younger team-mates (especially, at the time, Cheryl). Between his growing resentment and everyone else not putting up with his shit anymore, eventually it all came to a head in blood and tears when Zilla decided he'd had enough of no longer having the world revolve around him and bit the everloving shit out of Heather's arm. Admittedly, this also happened to coincide with a Team Rocket radio broadcast that was making Water-types go absolutely nuts, but still! DAMN!
A few days, a whole lot of shunning from the rest of the team, and a buttload of stitches for Heather later, Godzilla experienced a revelation: the asshole was him all along.
And so began his epic journey for redemption, a tale spanning several years, a whole lot of soul-searching, and more than a few failed fitness routines.
Once a fat little blue tater tot and now a lean, mean, Feraligatn' machine (that's right, he finally evolved-- though not without first deciding he'd earned it), Godzilla is a whole new 'mon. His old ego has been completely obliterated (by his own choice, mind you) and he is, startlingly, one of the more sensitive and conscientious members of the team. Constantly on the search for ways to better himself both emotionally and physically (he has a tendency to eat his feelings, so sometimes this is less successful than others), he ironically frets over the immature stunts Heather pulls sometimes the same way she used to worry about what HE got into whenever she wasn't looking. He also worries about her hair attracting Combee, the chances of a meteor hitting their campsite, and whether or not talking on the PokeGear for long periods of time can cause brain cancer.
In an ironic twist of fate, he's grown particularly close to Chimera, the Tyranitar (belonging to Envy) who once gave him wise life advice when he was just a Totodile. The two spend a lot of time together and Chimera's calm presence is one of the few things that can stop a full-blown Godzilla Panic Moment in its tracks.
CAROUSEL | RAPIDASH
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Docile, likes to run.
Moves: Play Rough, Throat Chop, Wild Charge, Drill Run, Solar Beam, Sunny Day, Return, Tackle, Growl, Tail Whip, Ember, Flame Wheel, Stomp, Flame Charge, Fire Spin, Take Down, Inferno, Agility, Fire Blast, Fury Attack, Bounce, Flare Blitz
Type: Fire
Ability: Run Away (Enables sure getaway from wild Pokémon.)
Carousel is a gentle soul with a particular fondness for children, be they human or Pokemon. Despite this, she is one of Heather's strongest battlers. Also, she's a unicorn that's on fire.
Heather received Carousel on her first Christmas morning spent in Johto-- a pair of rash but well-intentioned friends had taken her sarcastic answer of "A pony" when asked what she wanted seriously and bought an entire Ponyta for her on their way back from a long trip to Violet. Despite being just a baby, Carousel proved quickly to be a calm, intelligent presence. This was a relief for Heather-- she'd already had to get used to a rambunctious fire-breathing DOG, she didn't need to deal with any monkey business from a perpetually self-combusting horse as well.
Especially not when horses, like dogs, brought back some bad memories from home. Although Carousel never gave Heather reason to fear her, there was still a certain amount of trepidation on Heather's end, especially after the Ponyta evolved and consequently grew twice as big. Unlike her other fire-types, Carousel actually has like. OPEN FLAMES ON HER AT ALL TIMES and for a long time that was just a little too much for Heather.
But despite her unease, several disturbing encounters with a malicious entity during the "weird weekends" twice a year prompted Heather to try her best to overcome her fears: it was time to actually learn how to ride. It took effort and some help, but she managed to power through her phobias enough to become at least proficient, then good, and finally skilled enough to do literal circus stunt riding as a part-time job. By now, Heather and Carousel share a unique bond different from any shared with her other Pokemon-- even Cujo.
Heather never feels safer than when she's atop the Rapidash's back.
VAL JR. | HITMONCHAN
Level: 100
Gender: Male
Nature: Naiive, good perseverance.
Moves: Toxic, Throat Chop, Rock Slide, Metronome, Rock Smash, Swift, Return, Tackle, Helping Hand, Fake Out, Foresight, Agility, Pursuit, Mach Punch, Bullet Punch, Feint, Vacuum Wave, Quick Guard, Thunderpunch, Fire Punch, Ice Punch, Sky Uppercut, Mega Punch, Focus Punch, Counter, Close Combat
Type: Fighting
Ability: Keen Eye (Prevents the Pokémon from losing accuracy.)
Val Jr. can be described as the Pokemon equivalent of Brock, or if you're feeling a little more brutally honest, Heather's creepy eyeless martial-arts-trained butler.
His egg was a gift from Rise Kujikawa, whose friend Chie was looking for homes for her Hitmonlee's eggs. Not knowing what it would hatch into, Heather happily accepted the gift, and waited. ... And waited. ... And WAITED. For months, the egg did not hatch, although movement on the inside seemed to indicate that whatever was in there was certainly still alive and kicking. Finally, one fateful Halloween night, the egg chose to crack at last... revealing a bouncing baby Tyrogue, which coincidentally sort of resembles a deformed infant version of the good archangel and celestial midwife of the Order, Valtiel. Especially since if he had eyes, he sure as hell didn't show it because he never opens them.
Heather was horrified, and he was named Val Jr. for the uncanny resemblance.
Like his namesake and despite her continued unease around him, Val only ever had her best interests at heart, and from a young age resigned himself to looking out for his trainer from behind the scenes, waiting patiently for her to stop spazzing out and grabbing her heart every time she caught sight of him out of the corner of her eye.
His time to shine came a couple years later, when dozens of trainers and Pokemon were whisked away to an extradimensional dream castle and forced to fight their way out. Val Jr. was one of the Pokemon stolen from Heather, but while she was initially dismayed to find him in the already-nightmarish environment, he quickly proved his loyalty by evolving into Hitmonchan to help her fight off the monstrosities lurking in the corridors. Since then, Heather has realized how much she was judging him for something he had no connection with, and has devoted herself to training with him and trying to make him feel included in the team. No matter how initially creeped-out she'd been, his ongoing devotion had been nothing but helpful in the long run.
Sportingly, he seems to harbor no bitterness over the initial cold shoulder, and continues to help out as much as possible, with as much as possible. Val is a 'mon of many talents, from battling to cleaning to watching younger Pokemon. While he's not at all stupid or naiive, he is sometimes earnest to a fault and can be just slow enough on the uptake sometimes that craftier members of the team can dupe him into aiding and abetting before he realizes what they're up to. Good luck getting anything past him twice, though-- Val Jr. is no fool, and on the battlefield his sheer dedication to training alone makes him one of the most reliable winners Heather's got. Especially with his incredible accuracy.
His... incredible accuracy despite apparently not having eyes.
.... ????????
IT IS A MYSTERY.
ALESSA | ABSOL
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Lonely, often lost in thought.
Moves: Incinerate, Bounce, Shadow Claw, X-Scissor, Superpower, Spite, Zen Headbutt, Will-O-Wisp, Dark Pulse, Thunder, Protect, Return, Icy Wind, Feint, Scratch, Leer, Taunt, Quick Attack, Razor Wind, Pursuit, Swords Dance, Bite, Double Team, Slash, Future Sight, Sucker Punch, Detect, Night Slash, Me First, Psycho Cut, Perish Song
Type: Dark
Ability: Super Luck (Heightens the critical-hit ratios of moves.)
Special Pokemon eggs magically ending up among trainers' possessions is a longstanding holiday tradition. The very first time this happened, it was on a cold, dark Christmas Eve and the egg bequeathed to Heather wound up hatching into the frighteningly-relevant species known as Absol. Was Heather a little freaked-out at how well it fit? Yes. Yes, she was.
Alessa, named for obvious reasons, was raised with loving care and is fiercely bonded to her trainer. ... Maybe even a little too bonded. Normal and relaxed with Heather but standoffish and cold with strangers, Alessa is the very definition of a "one person" Pokemon. Although she never faced the hardship and superstition that her wild brethren do, her 'disaster radar' is hyper-sensitive and seems to have no "off" switch to speak of. Anyone not proven through time and trial to be safe is considered a threat to Alessa and her trainer alike, and she lives by the philosophy of 'Expect the worst, that way you'll never be disappointed'. Needless to say, Heather mostly abstains from taking Alessa anywhere she knows there will be a lot of people, because nothing chills the atmosphere of a party like a Pokemon associated with impending doom glaring balefully at anyone who looks in your direction.
Not that it isn't possible (with effort) to gain a little of her trust-- people/Pokemon who grow close to Heather are usually grudgingly accepted if they successfully refrain from doing any Bad Friend Things for a long enough period of time. But if one of said close people should happen to break that trust? Oh, honey. You got a big storm comin'. It's been five years and Alessa still hasn't forgiven Godzilla for the Chomp Incident.
Of course, every cloud has a silver lining-- any time Heather has to travel alone in iffier areas, Alessa invariably accompanies her. She may not be as big as Cujo, but her imposing aesthetic and predictive instincts-- no matter misfire-y-- allow her to traverse even the shadiest neighborhoods unscathed. Alessa would do just about anything for Heather-- and vice versa. The tight bond between them even allowed Alessa to be the first of Heather's Pokemon to achieve Mega Evolution!
TRICIA | MANECTRIC
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Rash, alert to sounds.
Moves: Ice Fang, Laser Focus, Flamethrower, Double-Edge, Signal Beam, Swagger, Flash, Iron Tail, Return, Electric Terrain, Fire Fang, Tackle, Thunder Wave, Leer, Howl, Quick Attack, Spark, Odor Sleuth, Bite, Thunder Fang, Roar, Discharge, Charge, Wild Charge, Thunder
Type: Electric
Ability: Lightningrod (Electric-type moves are drawn to this Pokémon. Electric-type moves will do no damage and the Pokémon's SP ATK is raised one stage.)
Because Heather needed at least ONE canine that was both socially well-adjusted and didn't scare the pants off her.
Tricia joined the team when her original trainer, one Special Agent Dale Cooper, went home-- an event that brought some intensely negative emotions boiling to the surface for Heather. Cooper had been a rock for her in a way that even her closest other friends never had, and losing him was a bigger blow than she was prepared to face.
Heather had already known Tricia for quite some time and grown familiar with her, so fortunately she wasn't wary or afraid of her the same way she was with some of the other inherited (canine) Pokemon she'd received in the past. Although confused and saddened with the sudden disappearance of her trainer (and the bizarre, unhappy behavior displayed by her new one), Tricia has a naturally-upbeat personality and quickly bounced back to her usual self once the grieving process passed for them both.
A classic electric-type, she's energetic, playful, and cocky-- quick to judge and quick to grow impatient, she's one to urge others to take the plunge, although she's fine with doing it herself if it comes to it. She likes to think she knows all the answers and is quick to chip in with advice, whether it's asked for or not. She overheard her old trainer watch a TED(diursa) Talk on this subject once, so she's an expert now!
Of course, Cooper's original training was firm and diligent, so despite her boundless energy Tricia is obedient and enjoys earning her keep. Heather, on the other hand, has a much more lax, laissez-faire training style so some of those ingrained good manners inevitably went out the window over time. For example, thanks to an abundance of freely-shared table scraps, Tricia is now somewhat prone to begging. She still has excellent recall, though!
SUNNY | TOGEKISS
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Careful, strong-willed.
Moves: Tri Attack, Shock Wave, Fly, Ominous Wind, Twister, Return, Focus Punch, Protect, Solar Beam, Psychic, Heal Bell, Dazzling Gleam, Extrasensory, Growl, Charm, Metronome, Sweet Kiss, Yawn, Encore, Follow Me, Wish, Ancientpower, Safeguard, Baton Pass, Double Edge, Last Resort
Type: Flying/Fairy
Ability: Serene Grace (The chances of a move having an effect doubles.)
Although Carousel and Claudy both have a motherly side to them, Sunny is by virtue of being the biggest, softest, and most aggressively maternal the Ultimate Mama of the team (and, by extension, of anyone who Heather remotely hangs out with). Sunny loves everybody. You are all her babies. YOU get an owl hug! And YOU get an owl hug! Owl hugs for everyone!!
Originally, Sunny was the starter of a close friend from Heather's earliest days in Johto, who left her with the Togekiss when he departed home. Deep down, Sunny still misses her original trainer, but operates under the philosophy that happiness is achieved through spreading as much love as possible, so that's what she does. If everybody's too tired at the end of the day to do anything but slump over and nap, she'll drape blankets over you all and get a pot of pasta cooking. If you scrape your knee and she's around to witness it, you'll have a band-aid delicately placed in your hand by her adorable beak in seconds. If you're having a bad day and aren't startled by what looks like a combination of a hang-glider and a giant marshmallow coming at you, she will come smother you in her voluptuous fluff and sing you a soothing lullaby.
Even the most rebellious members of the team acknowledge her benevolent authority, and it is far from uncommon for her to swoop in and break up arguments between her trainer's friends, even if Heather herself isn't directly involved. It's hard to keep punching somebody when both of you are being sat on by an owl the size of a refrigerator. Out of the rest of Heather's Pokemon, she is particularly close to Cujo, who she remembers playing with as a Togepi back when they were just itty bitty baby level-5's (even if she's matured emotionally since then and he... hasn't).
It goes without saying that everybody's grown a lot since then. Although you'd never know it at first glance due to her staunch pacifism, Sunny is expertly trained, a whopping level 100, and without question the strongest Pokemon in Heather's roster. Despite Heather's complete set of badges and Sunny's cheerful, compliant demeanor, the truth is that she's not really under Heather's "control" at all. Which means that anyone attempting to do genuine, unwarranted harm to her Trainer and/or team-mates are in for a very unpleasant surprise.
This thing belonged to Solid Snake.
She knows CQC.
Be afraid.
CHERYL | ESPEON
Level: 34
Gender: Female
Nature: Gentle, highly curious.
Moves: Substitute, Heal Bell, Return, Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, Sand Attack, Growl, Swift, Psybeam, Future Sight, Psych Up, Morning Sun,
Psychic, Last Resort, Power Swap.Permanently lopped earsPost-evolution, Cheryl's ears no longer droop.Type: Psychic
Ability: Synchronize (When a Pokémon with Synchronize is burned, paralyzed, or poisoned by another Pokémon, that Pokémon will be inflicted with the same status condition..)
What is an Eevee? Fox? Rabbit? Owl? Bag? We just don't know.
The whole team loves Cheryl. Like, to itty bitty pieces. And how could anyone not? She's adorable! Even as an Eevee, her physical 'defect'-- a set of floppy lop ears instead of the perky ones the species is known for-- was adorable! Even Arty is marginally less grumpy towards her than anyone else. Likewise with Cleo, although that admittedly might have something to do with the fact that the slightest act of meanness towards the Cheryl is a surefire way to get virtually excommunicated by every other Pokemon on Heather's roster, and Cleo's not that dedicated to being a dick.
With all the attention and pampering, it would have been easy and even expected for Cheryl to grow up into a spoiled brat. But against all the odds, aside from a very tiny and virtually always-harmless mischievous streak, the Eevee-turned-Espeon is pretty much sweetness incarnate. Cheryl is particularly close to Claudy (who raised her as if she were her own) and Alessa, with whom Cheryl acts as both an eternally-patient little sister as well as a bit of a grounding force when Alessa gets too bitter or stressed. It's not uncommon for team-mates to go to Cheryl for advice or to vent, since while the Espeon is always transparent about being too inexperienced in most matters, her emotional intelligence is off the charts and no one is better at solving disputes or smoothing out ruffled egos.
Despite being on the team for years, Cheryl showed no sign of evolving until one quiet August morning, at the conclusion of a very emotional video monologue from Heather regarding her complicated, upsetting history with her childhood friend turned enemy, Claudia Wolf. This had, on several occasions, made Heather a little concerned-- she's read up on happiness-based Eeveelutions, after all, and Cheryl was rarely anything but happy! The truth was, Cheryl could have evolved any time she wanted. But, serenely, she waited until that very moment, just as the sun came up over the hills. Why? Who knows. Maybe she wanted Heather to be ready first.
As for her backstory, out of all the Pokemon Heather's ever received, the story of Cheryl joining the team is probably the weirdest. It all began when Heather was making her way to Goldenrod City alone, in the middle of a horrendous rainstorm. Little did she know, an acquaintance with an abundance of Eevee eggs he needed to get rid of had been intending to give one to her-- but after failing to find her in person before she left, settled for stuffing one of the eggs into her bag and promptly forgot about it. When she finally got to the Goldenrod hotel and began to investigate the contents of her larger bag for the first time in several days for water damage... she discovered (after first removing Claudy) a tiny newborn Eevee, surrounded by crushed eggshells.
Not knowing what had transpired before her departure from Violent, Heather arrived at the only logical conclusion: her owl had somehow immaculately conceived a fox.
The fact that Claudy immediately took the baby Cheryl under her wing did nothing to clear up the confusion.
Heather still has no idea what really happened.
SCARLET and CARAT | LITLEO
Level: 15 | 7
Gender: Female | Male
Nature: Jolly, likes to run. | Timid, very finicky.
Moves: Dig, Tackle, Leer, Ember,
Work Up, Headbutt, Noble Roar, Take Down, Fire Fang, Endeavor, Echoed Voice, Flamethrower, Crunch, Hyper Voice, Incinerate, OverheatType: Fire/Normal
Ability: Rivalry ( Attack & Special Attack is increased by 25% if the foe is of the same gender; Attack & Special Attack is decreased by 25% if the foe is of the opposite gender.)
Not even Heather was immune to the excitement that exploded across Johto when swarms of never-before-seen Pokemon started popping up all around the country. And literally nobody is immune to the cuteness of lion cubs. ... Well, the exception would be Tobias, who gladly traded Heather one of the several he'd caught unwittingly, just to get rid of them. Whatever, guy must have his reasons. Heather named the pudgy little cub Scarlet and called it a day.
Full of energy and bearing an enormous appetite for FUN, Scarlet is a happy-go-lucky ray of sunshine who thinks everyone in the world is her playmate. Unsurprisingly, she became instant pals with Cujo. Somewhat more surprisingly, she also latched onto Cleo and apparently thinks the Persian is her long lost big sister. Cleo is thrilled. And by thrilled I mean not thrilled at all. Things Scarlet likes include bright colors, hideous 80's fashion, chasing her tail, and blatantly flirting with every single male Pokemon she meets, which is not particularly effective considering her strategy is usually the HI I'M SCARLET I'M LEVEL 7 AND I ATE A WHOLE PIZZA ONCE, LET'S GET MARRIED!!! type.
Some time later, Heather received a holiday egg which then hatched into, wouldn't you know it, another Litleo! Except this one was SHINY. Truly we live in a blessed world.
Despite not even remotely being from the same litter, Scarlet immediately decided that they were SIBLINGS (tm) and behaves accordingly, often dragging her recalcitrant baby brother along with her on all kinds of misadventures.
Carat is a much shier Pokemon, and could frankly give Godzilla a run for his money in the anxiety department. Unlike Scarlet, who will pretty much look at somebody, decide "That one!", and follow them around for hours, Carat will straight-up hide from people he likes b-b-because what if they hate him. If you spot sparkly round ears poking out from behind the couch or on the other side of a bush, you've probably got a not-so-secret admirer.
WREN | MURKROW
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Naughty, highly curious.
Moves: Confide, Snatch, Heat Wave, Air Cutter, Swift, Uproar, Twister, Return, Peck, Astonish, Pursuit, Haze, Wing Attack, Night Shade, Assurance, Taunt, Faint Attack, Mean Look, Foul Play, Tailwind, Sucker Punch, Torment, Quash
Type: Dark/Flying
Ability: Super Luck (Heightens the critical-hit ratios of moves.)
You ever have that Pokemon that's kind of like looking into a mirror? Is it flattering? Well, maybe sometimes... but probably not in this case, where the Pokemon in question is a small feathered black football that steals anything that isn't nailed down.
For better or worse, having Wren around is like having a living snapshot of Heather's early high school years. Mischievous, a bit of a klepto, and frankly too smart for her own good, this playful corvid is the terror of Heather's team, and PROUD of it. Her egg was a Valentine's Day gift, but Wren will tell any Pokemon who listens that she was born at midnight on Halloween and hatched out of a pumpkin.
Despite the perpetual flood of trouble the Murkrow causes, Heather is very fond of her. Wren is a constant source of amusement, whether it's her antics or her 'big-dog' mentality-- in addition to just being a trickster, Wren is also full of bravado and total confidence in her own cleverness and charm. It's not entirely unjustified; while she doesn't have any fancy egg moves or even particularly great stats, Wren is scrappy, streetsmart, and an alarmingly-good pickpocket. Taking her out in public is always a gamble-- either she could delight local children with her impeccable mimicry, or she could fill Heather's backpack with stolen lighters at the PokeMart and then make farting noises at the security guards who stop them on the way out. Heather spends about 75% of the time scolding her and the other 25% encouraging her for the sake of a good laugh.
Speaking of laughs, out of all of Heather's Pokemon, Wren is the only one who can speak English! Which she does. Frequently. And often obscenely.
Like a small child, Wren has a knack for picking up exactly the WORST words and immediately running them into the ground. Even worse, she religiously follows the Roger Rabbit rule when it comes to actually displaying this skill-- she will utilize her linguistic talent just enough to make a situation funny (to her) and usually no further. So... your chances of getting a good conversation out of her are slim to none (even though she definitely understands every word you're saying), but she will absolutely wait for you to discretely pick your nose before screaming "BOOGER ALERT!!" loud enough to wake the neighbors. Or teach your Cleffa how to say "motherfucker" and "bonerfart" the second you turn your back.
With such an, ahem, sparkling personality, it's no surprise that the rest of Heather's Pokemon are starkly divided into either camp "Haha, classic Wren!" or camp "I will be watching with popcorn when someone finally turns her into a feather-duster." Although no one on the team is 100% safe from a Wren prank, Cleo is her favorite target purely because the Persian is the most openly enraged about Wren's very existence.
On the other side of the fence, Wren is, astonishingly, one of the only Pokemon on the team to have a confirmed sweetheart. And Murkrows mate for life! If Birdy McSwearwords can do it, so can you. #loveisreal #bfstandsforbirdgirlfriend
CALIMA | MURKROW
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Jolly, highly curious.
Moves: Thunder Wave, Dark Pulse, Fly, Roost, Aerial Ace, Protect, Psychic, Pluck, Attract, Peck, Astonish, Pursuit, Haze, Wing Attack, Night Shade, Assurance, Taunt, Faint Attack, Mean Look, Foul Play, Tailwind, Sucker Punch, Torment, Quash
Type: Dark/Flying
Ability: Super Luck (Heightens the critical-hit ratios of moves.)
Heather inherited this shiny pink delight from her friend Crow Hogan, which is good, because having Adorable Thief Corvid Numero Dos around was about all that soothed the ache of the loss.
Bright in both plumage and personality, Calima is a permanently cheerful, energetic and fun-loving Murkrow. She also possesses great fondness of ADVENTURE!! of any kind, so whether you want to try surfing on a wild Sharpedo's back, examine the puzzles in the deepest chambers of Ruins of Alph, or simply try your hand at hot-dog eating contest, she's your bird.
Although she's not nearly as outrageous as her mate Wren, Calima still has plenty of natural corvid mischievousness. Like any other self-respecting representative of her species, Calima loves any and all shiny objects and never misses a chance to acquire a new item for her collection-- although ever since meeting Wren, she has had no shortage of shiny gifts showered upon her. Her favorite possession is a checkered red ribbon that she wears on her tail, having stolen it from a New Year celebration at one point.
Though she spends most of her time with Wren, Calima can also frequently be found in the company of Tricia, who shares a similar adventurous spirit. Of course, being a Good Girl (tm), Tricia usually avoids getting wrapped up in Wren's schemes... but when Calima is involved, the Manectric is easily persuaded to go along with the duo's antics.
HAZEL | PIKACHU
Level: 100
Gender: Female
Nature: Brave, highly curious.
Moves: Grass Knot, Flash, Dig, Electroweb, Magnet Rise, Signal Beam, Rain Dance, Swift, Mud-Slap, Headbutt, Return, Charm, Play Nice, Nuzzle, Sweet Kiss, Nasty Plot, Tail Whip, Thundershock, Growl, Thunder Wave, Quick Attack, Electro Ball, Double Team, Slam, Thunderbolt, Feint, Agility, Discharge, Light Screen, Thunder
Type: Electric
Ability: Static (The opponent has a 30% chance of being induced with PARALYZE when using an attack, that requires physical contact, against this Pokémon.)
When Heather's father disappeared from Johto for the second time, Heather got to keep several of his Pokemon. One of them is Hazel, who was originally a gift from her in the form of a Pichu egg. Like any true family of nerds, the reference in the name is literary-- after Hazel, the protagonist of Watership Down, which Harry read to Heather frequently as a child. While she missed her original trainer dearly, she was grateful to not be among strangers. She was already friends with most of Heather's Pokemon, especially Mully and Blue. Along with a few others like Gilly and Carat, they form a slightly more academic-minded (at least compared to most of Heather's Pokemon) friend-group of which Hazel is ostensibly the leader.
She's a curious one, always reading up on new interests. She especially enjoys learning about human electronics and often tinkers with various gadgets-- she can frequently be seen busily working away on a laptop she inherited from her original trainer. Pikachus and household appliances can be an iffy combination-- at best the species is associated with being harnessed to power things en masse and at worst with causing neighborhood-wide blackouts from chewing on wires-- but Hazel has grown to be very sensitive to her own strength and her electricity seems to enhance her technical skills rather than impede them. Whenever anything breaks in the house (which happens a LOT), Hazel is usually on the scene within minutes to figure out what's wrong and fix it.
In addition to being a regular tech wiz, Hazel is an adept battler and has helped Heather with no small number of gym battles. She's more than aware that Pokemon don't often reach elite levels of battle without being fully evolved, but despite this, she isn't particularly interested in evolving into Raichu. Instead, Hazel prefers to wear a chunk of Eviolite on a cord around her neck to boost her stats to a more competitive level. She's almost never seen without it, and proudly considers it her signature.
Though not unfriendly, Hazel has quite a no-nonsense, dignified personality and doesn't usually have much patience for shenanigans. That doesn't mean she's above getting flustered, though-- while she's quick to emphasize that she just really admires his accomplishments, Hazel has developed quite the celebrity crush on Red's Pikachu.
BLUE | DEINO
Level: 30
Gender: Female
Nature: Quiet, often lost in thought.
Moves: Round, Tackle, Dragon Rage, Focus Energy, Bite, Headbutt, Dragonbreath, Roar, Crunch, Slam,
Dragon Pulse, Work Up, Dragon Rush, Body Slam, Scary Face, Hyper Voice, OutrageType: Dark/Dragon
Ability: Hustle (Damage from physical attacks is 1.5 times, but average accuracy is only 80%.)
Blue is generally a sweetheart. Unfortunately, given that the only way of exploring the world she has is to bite things, for a long time she didn't have too many friends, even among Heather's team. The first time she accidentally bit another Pokemon and got snapped at in return was very upsetting, and as a result Blue never opens her mouth unless she has to. Not surprisingly, this means she's not much of a battler-- preferring to shy away from conflict wherever possible.
Though painfully shy, she eventually found friendship (and protection from bullying) in Mully and Hazel, joined later by Gilly and Carat. Though she never has a whole lot to say even among them, she's happy just to have the friendly companionship and frequently sits quietly in their company while they discuss sciencey things.
She's especially close with Mully, who often rides on her back and/or head and acts as her eyes when possible. In return, she is fiercely protective of her tiny bug-buddy and speaking up in his defense is one of the few things she'll actually open up for.
MULLY | JOLTIK
Level: 15
Gender: Male
Nature: Quirky, highly curious.
Moves: Bounce, String Shot, Leech Life, Spider Web, Thunder Wave, Screech, Fury Cutter, Electro Web,
Bug Bite, Gastro Acid, Slash, Electro Ball, Signal Beam, Agility, Sucker Punch, Discharge, Bug BuzzType: Bug/Electric
Ability: Compoundeyes (Raises the Pokémon’s accuracy by 30%. )
Spider? SPIDER? SPIDER AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-- nah, just kiddin. This little guy wouldn't even hurt a fly.
Heather received Mully's egg during a very rough patch in her life in Johto, and reacted so badly to the ill-timed gift that she almost crushed the tiny egg on live camera and had to spend a good day or so wrestling with her own humanity and the choice of whether or not to do it. Heavy shit.
Fortunately, she decided to let the egg hatch instead, and the arrival of the bouncing baby spider was a big part of what pulled her out of that dark place. Completely unaware that his existence might have ended before he'd even gotten a chance to hatch, Mully was named 'Ygramul' after the shapeshifting spider monster in The Neverending Story.
His unpleasant namesake didn't have any effect on his personality, which can be described as polite, earnest, and charming. Incredibly bright for a little bug, Mully has a boundless imagination and lives for the pursuit of knowledge, which is a serious undertaking when it takes you five minutes to turn the page of a book. But that hunger isn't just limited to learning through reading-- he wants to do what he reads about, too! Despite being the smallest member of Heather's team by quite a wide margin, he's adventurous enough to rival a Pokemon ten times his size. And there's no shortage of adventure when you're this small-- every household plant is a jungle, the bathroom sink is an entire pond, and your trainer's sock is a menacing cave.
Among the rest of the team, Mully is fondly regarded for the most part-- although thanks to his opinionated tendencies (and sometimes cheeky sense of humor), he doesn't generally hesitate to make remarks when someone is really bugging (ha) him. This has gotten him into trouble on more than one occasion. Especially with Cleo. Fortunately, he can usually depend on Blue or Gilly to watch his back, because it's a lot harder to eat a Deino or Fennekin than it is a Joltik.
As for Heather, for something she almost contemplated smashing... she sure does love the little guy, and while he's not one of her battlers (perish the THOUGHT-- he is a BABY), he's perfectly travel-sized and goes all over the place with her. His favorite place to ride is right in the front of her vest, both for the best view of wherever they are AND to conveniently act as an effective anti-grope device (seriously, it never freaking gets old-- "Hey, baby--*bzzt* AAAAAAGHGH").
That said, when she doesn't know exactly where he is at any given time, it's easy to panic and assume the worst. Anyone who's ever traveled with her while he's in her party has probably been subject to the occasional "Ohmygod, WHERE'S MULLY? DID YOU SIT ON HIM?! GET UP, I HAVE TO CHECK YOUR BUTT." only for him to wind up having been exploring the hotel room's potted plant or napping in a box of Kleenex or something.

Of course, going from a gangly, traumatized survival-horror teen to a fit, relatively well-adjusted young woman doesn't come without a few bumps and bruises along the way, but hey, stories to tell.
New acquaintances will find Heather to be a more relaxed, easygoing person than she would have been six years ago-- a worldly scrapper who nonetheless is taking advantage of her 'new' home to experience young-adulthood with as few regrets as possible. It's a hard job, but somebody's gotta do it! When not traveling, she can most frequently be found living in Goldenrod City with her doting father Harry Mason (
Where'll she go from here?
We'll soon find out!
