My bestie is asleep rn so y'all are getting my Pokemon teams for 007n7, Noli, and Itrapped. Might draw these tomorrow...
007n7- Houndoom, Salandit, Crobat, Sableeye, Centiscorch, anddd either a Volcarona or a Krookodile.
Dark/fire type specialist in college. Caught the edgiest Pokemon possible because he's a loser and thought it'd make him look cooler. (It did not)
He has a Salandit not a Salazzle cus he's a fucking idiot who didn't check that it was female before he caught it so now he's stuck with a male salandit that can't evolve. He doesn't have the heart to just abandon it so now he has this useless lizard that he INSISTS is actually super cool and intimidating.
He has a Crobat because I am a SUCKERRR for giving evil bastards friendship evolutions. Act tough all you like buddy everybody knows you adore your big poisonous bat.
He would love a Hydreigon it's literally his dream Pokemon but he knows in his heart he could not handle a dragon-type pseudolegendary. He is not that guy.
Sp00b is a Spinarak that sits on his head <3
Present-day (middleaged) 007n7 would just have older versions of his college team (they went through the same domestication arc as him lol) HOWEVER if he was to add more team members he'd be a normal/dark trainer with maybe a few fairy types. I can absolutely see him fostering a bunch of baby normal-types like fostering kittens.
Might give him a Blissey too... Marowak and Kangaskhan both match him really well but I don't think he'd actually catch them they're more like if HE was a Pokemon.
Noli- Shiny Runerigus, Malamar, Musharna, Unown, Lunatone, and Mimikyu.
Psychic-type specialist. Loves offputting and unsettling Pokemon. (Like him <3)
All of his Pokemon are bonkers old except for Mimikyu- Runerigus, Unown, and Lunatone are the oldest, with Malamar and Musharna both being a couple thousand years old. Mimikyu is the newest addition and hasn't figured out that it's been made immortal by Noli yet.
They're all very fond of 007n7 but he's not used to dealing with the body language of non-animal Pokemon so he's kinda scared of them. He does NOT like it when Noli leaves the room and suddenly he's alone with them.
They're terrifyingly in-sync which doesn't help. They've all got a psychic link with eachother and Noli and it makes them DEEPLY terrifying in battle because he doesn't need to speak to give them orders.
In the present day 007n7 has finally realised that they all like him. Runerigus, Unown, and Lunatone occasionally bonk into him affectionately as they float past and he laughs himself silly every time because Noli does the exact same thing...
They demand cuddles from 007 occasionally. Please imagine him trying very hard to figure out how to pet a giant rock while Lunatone sits in his lap and crushes his legs.
Itrapped- Froslass, Weavile, Galarian Rapidash, Hatterene, Alolan Ninetails, and either Mawile or Alteria.
Ice/fairy specialist, but he gets along with ghost types quite well too.
All of his Pokemon are the 'pretty but can and will kill you' type. They're also all VERY prideful and difficult to work with- he caught them by being so stubborn and persistent that they begrudgingly started respecting him. The exception is his Froslass, who thinks his attempts to order her around are very cute in the way a border collie puppy trying to herd sheep is cute.
He'd love an Aegislash too tbh but he thinks trying to get the trust of TWO ghost types might be a little ambitious even for him.
Hatterene 🤝Itrapped : If you are loud or hostile to me I will beat you to death.
He almost always has at least one Pokemon out. He won't sleep unless at least one of them is keeping watch- Froslass has no need to sleep, so she usually does it. She's deeply honoured that someone that paranoid trusts her, a murderous ghost, to keep him safe.
His Weavile is a kleptomaniac and keeps stealing 007n7's stuff for fun. Itrapped panics every time, convinced that THIS time is gonna be the last straw and 007 will kick him out, but so far he hasn't done anything but snort fondly and say his Sableeye does the same.
He does NOT like Noli's Pokemon they freak him out bad. Noli's Musharna keeps trying to help with his nightmares but he reacts violently every time and eventually convinces Froslass to help him chase her away.
