actually now it REALLY does
Calem's Pokémon - Others
#359 - Absol ♂ Name: Erik Type: Dark/Fairy Ability: Super Luck
Original Trainer: Emilio Met on Geosenge Town at level 21.
Docile nature. Somewhat vain. No food preferences.
Held item: Fairy Feather
Preferred moves: Throat Chop - The user attacks the target's throat, and the resultant suffering prevents the target from using sound-based moves for two turns. Future Sight - Two turns after this move is used, a hunk of psychic energy attacks the target. Rock Slide - Large boulders are hurled at opposing Pokémon to inflict damage. This may also make the opposing Pokémon flinch. Phantom Force - The user vanishes somewhere, then strikes the target on the next turn. This move hits even if the target protects itself.
A strange, special Absol that first appeared before Calem during his first visit to Geosenge Town, warning him about a disaster that would befall that place and following him ever since. Erik is seemingly able to appear and disappear out of nowhere, using that ability to stay close to Calem and lead him in the right direction without officially joining his team, and then allowed himself to be caught after a ferocious battle at the Tower of Mastery. Contrasting Calem’s usual intensity, Erik is a very quiet Pokémon, expressing himself through actions rather than words, but the two of them are meticulous, calculating planners, so they're easily able to synchronize their thoughts and feelings in order to achieve Mega Evolution.
His battle style is best described as efficient. Erik’s disaster-sensing ability has been honed to allow him to read his opponents’ actions ahead of time, giving him a nearly-unmatched reaction time, and his horn can be effectively used as a rapier to pierce through defensive barriers. The power of Mega Evolution enhances his abilities to effectively make him able to manifest natural disasters into existence, causing a chain reaction of unlucky events that result in landslides or hailstorms suddenly befalling his opponents in the middle of battle, a cursed ability that’s rarely used due to its potential for destruction. He can also sing, but the music he makes is described as so haunting that it causes chills down to the bones.
Erik’s named after the legendary Phantom of the Opera himself, since Calem thought there was a resemblance between the Absol’s half-white fur and the character’s white half-mask. It does break the musician theme, but since it’s a musical reference it’s not that disconnected.
#866 - Mr. Rime ♂ Name: Eugene Type: Ice/Psychic Ability: Screen Cleaner
Original Trainer: Augustine Met on Snowbelle City at level 5.
Jolly nature. Quick to flee. Likes sweet food. Dislikes dry food.
Held item: Metronome
Preferred moves: Triple Axel - A consecutive three-kick attack that becomes more powerful with each successful hit. Psychic - The target is hit with a strong telekinetic force to inflict damage. This may also lower the target’s Sp. Def stat. Mimic - The user copies the move last used by the target. The copied move can be used until the user of Mimic leaves the battle. Teeter Dance - The user performs a wobbly dance that confuses every Pokémon around it.
A Pokémon gifted to Calem by Professor Sycamore in order to study the differences between regional forms, as the Galarian variant's theatrical sensibilities are well-suited for an experienced performer. Eugene is a natural entertainer that can’t help putting on a show, so his teammates tend to get a little exasperated when he joins the scene because he often tries to make everything about himself, but he’s also a little bit of a coward who needs time in order to prepare his nerves for battle. His dancing skills are top-notch, and he and Calem are capable of moving in perfect sync during a performance.
In battle, his biggest advantage comes from the ridiculous speed with which he moves across the battlefield, using graceful dance moves that one wouldn’t expect from a Pokémon of his size and relentlessly closing the distance with brutally fast kicks. His cane can be used as a blunt weapon and enchanted with psychic energy, so he prefers to fight up close, but he’s perfectly capable of relying on his telekinesis to throw projectiles from a distance if necessary. His ability to form psychic walls, innate to his species, has been honed to the point of creating complex shapes that can then be encased in ice, creating complex structures that can be thawed and flash-frozen in instants for mobility.
Eugene’s named after an actor known for his distinctive dancing style. It doesn’t really fit the theme, but Calem’s kind of a birdbrain, so chances are that he forgot there was a theme in the first place.
#715 - Noivern ♂ Name: Prince Type: Flying/Dragon Ability: Infiltrator
Original Trainer: Dorian Met on Vaniville Town at level 60.
Lax nature. A little quick tempered. Likes sour food. Dislikes bitter food.
Held item: Normal Gem
Preferred moves: Boomburst - The user attacks everything around it with the destructive power of a terrible explosive sound. Shadow Claw - The user attacks by slashing the target with a sharp claw made from shadows. This move has a heightened chance of landing a critical hit. Tailwind - The user whips up a turbulent whirlwind that boosts the Speed stats of itself and its allies for four turns. Draco Meteor - Comets are summoned down from the sky onto the target. The recoil from this move harshly lowers the user’s Sp. Atk stat.
Prince was originally trained by Calem’s father, being one of his most prized battling partners. After Dorian’s passing, he was taken care of by Professor Sycamore and then returned to Calem after the championship ceremony, once he had enough experience and maturity to train such a powerful Pokémon. Prince is a little bit of a grumpy bear (grumpy bat?) who doesn’t like to be bothered unless he has work to do, napping during the day and being more active during the night, but he’s also known to act as a strict but fair mentor to less experienced Pokémon. Apparently, he and Calem have a very complicated history they’re still working through.
He’s an offensive powerhouse that overwhelms his opponents with destructive sound waves, having mastered a violent fighting style that not only causes injuries in the traditional sense but also causes sensory overstimulation and internal damage. As such, commanding him in battle requires extreme caution, and he won’t obey the orders of a trainer he perceives as weak. Since Calem’s excessively meticulous as a trainer, he instead prefers more controlled tactics, so Prince tends to primarily use his stealth, flying silently to strike his opponents from their blind spots with extreme precision and only using his more destructive attacks if necessary.
Prince is, in fact, named after the royal title, a nickname chosen by his original trainer, but Calem does appreciate how it still works for the music theme he has going on if you don’t think too much about it.
#531 - Audino ♀ Name: Shirley Type: Normal Ability: Regenerator
Original Trainer: Angelina Met on Vaniville Town at level 60.
Bold nature. Highly curious. Likes sour food. Dislikes spicy food.
Held item: Audinite
Preferred moves: Heal Pulse - The user emits a healing pulse that restores the target's HP by up to half its max HP. Uproar - The user attacks in an uproar for three turns. During that time, no Pokémon can fall asleep. Draining Kiss - The user steals the target's HP with a kiss. The user's HP is restored by over half the damage taken by the target. Blizzard - A howling blizzard is summoned to strike opposing Pokémon. This may also leave the opposing Pokémon frozen.
A Pokémon raised by Calem’s mother before her passing, trained to be a specialized healer and caretaker. While Shirley was officially left under Professor Sycamore’s care until after the championship ceremony, she never really left the Campanelli household, acting as Calem’s personal doctor and close confidant until he was ready to leave on his journey. She looks like a gentle Pokémon that tends to others’ needs, but in reality she’s quite domineering, wasting no time to make sure those under her care are on their best behavior. It’s because of her extreme perfectionism that most people don’t even suspect that Calem has health issues.
She’s mainly trained for healing, using her abilities to treat fevers and infections, detecting abnormal vital signs with her acute hearing and, for Calem in particular, treating his sleep paralysis episodes before they get out of hand. As such, she doesn’t usually join the battlefield directly, but being a veteran’s partner Pokémon, she’s more than capable of holding her own in combat, with her healing abilities allowing her to casually brush off any damage and forcefully dispel her opponents’ will to fight. Her favorite tactic is to lure enemies into a false sense of security and then drain their vitality once they get too close.
Shirley is named after the iconic singer, as Calem’s nickname habit was taken from his mother. Incidentally, her name is also a pun, but most people don’t get it since it doesn’t work on either of Calem’s native languages.

Name meanings
Touya Mizuki: Touya means fighter, a consistent theme across all of his canon names in different languages. In-universe, he's named like that because his parents wanted to give the image of a hardened, tough person who fights to get what he wants. Mizuki is written with the characters for water and moon, meaning the reflection of the moon on the water's surface, and figuratively referring to illusions. The two names, combined, have contrasting images, with his given name conveying the idea of violence while his surname conveys the idea of something harmless and incorporeal.
Calem / Emilio Campanelli: Calem means dove. As his canon name, it follows the theme of peace among the XY protagonists, with Calem and Serena referring to calm and serenity respectively, and Shauna, Tierno and Trevor's names meaning healthy, kind and curious. Emilio means rival, and shares the same etymological origin as the word emulate, as in someone who strives to measure up to another. It can also refer more negatively to a jealous person. Campanelli is a plural, diminutive form of campana, meaning bell, and it's typically a surname given to people who ring church bells. Coincidentally, it's another name for the glockenspiel, a percussion instrument.

👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)? for calem

👁️ EYE - what colour are their eyes? do people notice their eyes? is there anything special about them (shows emotion easily, literally magical...)?
Calem’s eyes are a grayish blue, with a slanted shape that naturally gives him a sharp, focused expression. He’s a very expressive person, so his eyes tend to reflect his emotions quite easily and usually display a bright, cheerful glint to them, but in old pictures before he became a trainer the expression in his eyes looked oddly distant.
He has slit-shaped pupils, but it’s only noticeable if you look close. It’s a trait he shares with his brother.
When Yveltal wants to make their presence known, Calem’s eyes change to match the color of their eyes, becoming a much brighter blue that encompasses the whole sclera as well as the iris, with the pupils turning white. It’s a pretty handy visual sign that Calem’s not present, even if you’re looking right at him.

About: Yveltal
#717 - Yveltal Name: Thanatos (among other names) Type: Dark/Flying Ability: Dark Aura
Original Trainer: N/A Met on Team Flare Secret HQ at level 50.
Lonely nature. Quick tempered. Likes spicy food. Dislikes sour food.
Held item: Life Orb
Preferred moves: Oblivion Wing - The user absorbs the target's HP. The user's HP is restored by over half the damage taken by the target. Payback - The user stores power, then attacks. This move's power is doubled if the user moves after the target. Frustration - This full-power attack grows more powerful the less the user likes its Trainer. Toxic - A move that leaves the target badly poisoned. Its poison damage worsens every turn.
The god of death, known and feared as a legend across the land of Kalos. Last witnessed in the wild 800 years ago, this Pokémon tends to retreat into a cocoon form to replenish their energy, and their awakening heralds the presence of mass extinction events. A dangerous, unstoppable force, but a necessary one in order to maintain balance between life and death, their presence influences nearly every aspect of organic matter.
Yveltal’s dormant cocoon form was found by the descendants of the royal family of Kalos many centuries ago, who trapped it underground so that it could be used as an energy source to replicate the king’s power from the times of war, unwittingly delaying the deity’s cycle of reincarnation and setting events in motion for the Ultimate Weapon to end up in Team Flare’s hands as a dirty family secret. Conscious, but immobile in their current state and unable to escape without causing unnecessary destruction, Yveltal patiently waited and set events in motion so that they could get revenge on those who tried to use their power for personal gain, eventually projecting their will and conscience into a human vessel to clear the path for their awakening.
As the deity’s human incarnation, Calem shares a mental connection that allows them to work in unison as two parts of the same being, but for the purpose of fully blending in with humanity, Yveltal’s consciousness manifested as a subtle influence rather than completely overriding his identity. The closer he got to the Ultimate Weapon, the more Yveltal began to directly control him to lead him towards the right path, and once the dormant cocoon was freed, the deity’s body and mind merged together as one once more and Calem’s human form was discarded as an empty shell… but it seems that, for one reason or another, Yveltal has decided to continue inhabiting that human shell for the time being. Calem regards himself as a human that’s being possessed by an external force, but deep down he’s aware that he and Yveltal are one and the same.
In battle, their mere presence casts an oppressive aura over the battlefield that makes anyone, friend or foe, cower in fear, and their fabled life-draining abilities and rotting touch allow them to turn any living being into an empty husk in a matter of seconds. If sufficiently injured, they’ll start stealing energy from their surroundings indiscriminately until the whole area becomes a wasteland, which isn’t actually something they want. As the deity’s human form, Calem can transform into Yveltal at the cost of losing his consciousness or, alternatively, briefly separate from the deity so that the two of them can coexist at the same time, but this is tantamount to ripping his soul out of his body. Both options hurt.
Yveltal has been known by many different names over the course of history, as no matter the time or culture, everyone knows about death. While the name ‘Yveltal’ is already specific enough as is, if they need to be told apart from Calem specifically, they have been known to go by Thanatos, as it’s a name given to them by humans in the past which they actually like. Calem refers to them derisively as ‘the bird’, though.
About: Zekrom
#644 - Zekrom Name: Zekrom (refuses to be nicknamed) Type: Dragon/Electric Ability: Teravolt
Original Trainer: Touya Met on N's Castle at level 50.
Adamant nature. Often lost in thought. Likes spicy food. Dislikes dry food.
Held item: Relic Crown
Preferred moves: Fusion Bolt - The user throws down a giant lightning bolt. This move's power is boosted when influenced by an enormous flame. Rain Dance - The user summons a heavy rain that falls for five turns, powering up Water-type attacks. The rain also lowers the power of Fire-type attacks. Dragon Tail - The target is knocked away, and a different Pokémon is dragged out. In the wild, this ends a battle against a single Pokémon. Hyper Voice - The user attacks by letting loose a horribly loud, resounding cry.
One of the guardian deities of Unova as well as the god governing over the concept of ideals. Zekrom spent countless years sealed within the Dark Stone and recovered his physical form when Touya accepted his title as the hero of ideals, the deity's chosen trainer both gifted and burdened by the nature of their bond, the two of them then joining forces to save the region from Team Plasma the first time around.
Zekrom was originally only a part of a whole being, and for most of his existence he has only been defined by a single concept, so he has a hard time adjusting to the current times where the region doesn’t need the deities' presence to inspire order and authority. After defeating Team Plasma, Touya decided to allow him to roam the world freely so that he can learn more about ideals from all sorts of people as well as define his existence outside of his role as a guardian deity, but as the two of them have a telepathic bond and instinctively know what the other is thinking, Zekrom will always appear if Touya calls.
He has a rather harsh, judgmental personality, and isn't very talkative either. Apparently he's always thinking about what people could be like, rather than what they are objectively, and as such he's usually disappointed because others can’t meet his lofty standards. Since Touya is a rather timid guy that would rather avoid confrontation if he has the option, they seem to have different opinions on what a hero of legend should be like, and he’s taken the responsibility to keep Zekrom from indulging too much in fantasies.
In battle, Zekrom is far beyond the scope of an average Pokémon, completely incinerating the battlefield with lightning in a matter of seconds, and with enough muscle mass to overwhelm most opponents by pure physicality alone. He's actually quite skilled in melee combat, using a combination of electrified punches and grapples to fight opponents that don't succumb to raw strength alone, and his tail can be used as a bludgeoning weapon as well as a generator. Apparently, he can take over Touya's body to use those same fighting skills, but doesn't like doing so as it means allowing Touya to slack off on his self-defense training. For long-distance travel, he covers himself in a massive raincloud that completely obscures his form.
Zekrom refuses to be nicknamed due to a matter of practicality. Unlike other Pokémon, who have to be told apart from other, identical members of the same species, he's the only Zekrom there is, so that name alone already identifies him well enough. Also, he has access to all of Touya's thoughts, so he knows his trainer would name him something corny like Colby or Sobek.

About: Yveltal
#717 - Yveltal Name: Thanatos (among other names) Type: Dark/Flying Ability: Dark Aura
Original Trainer: N/A Met on Team Flare Secret HQ at level 50.
Lonely nature. Quick tempered. Likes spicy food. Dislikes sour food.
Held item: Life Orb
Preferred moves: Oblivion Wing - The user absorbs the target's HP. The user's HP is restored by over half the damage taken by the target. Payback - The user stores power, then attacks. This move's power is doubled if the user moves after the target. Frustration - This full-power attack grows more powerful the less the user likes its Trainer. Toxic - A move that leaves the target badly poisoned. Its poison damage worsens every turn.
The god of death, known and feared as a legend across the land of Kalos. Last witnessed in the wild 800 years ago, this Pokémon tends to retreat into a cocoon form to replenish their energy, and their awakening heralds the presence of mass extinction events. A dangerous, unstoppable force, but a necessary one in order to maintain balance between life and death, their presence influences nearly every aspect of organic matter.
Yveltal’s dormant cocoon form was found by the descendants of the royal family of Kalos many centuries ago, who trapped it underground so that it could be used as an energy source to replicate the king’s power from the times of war, unwittingly delaying the deity’s cycle of reincarnation and setting events in motion for the Ultimate Weapon to end up in Team Flare’s hands as a dirty family secret. Conscious, but immobile in their current state and unable to escape without causing unnecessary destruction, Yveltal patiently waited and set events in motion so that they could get revenge on those who tried to use their power for personal gain, eventually projecting their will and conscience into a human vessel to clear the path for their awakening.
As the deity’s human incarnation, Calem shares a mental connection that allows them to work in unison as two parts of the same being, but for the purpose of fully blending in with humanity, Yveltal’s consciousness manifested as a subtle influence rather than completely overriding his identity. The closer he got to the Ultimate Weapon, the more Yveltal began to directly control him to lead him towards the right path, and once the dormant cocoon was freed, the deity’s body and mind merged together as one once more and Calem’s human form was discarded as an empty shell… but it seems that, for one reason or another, Yveltal has decided to continue inhabiting that human shell for the time being. Calem regards himself as a human that’s being possessed by an external force, but deep down he’s aware that he and Yveltal are one and the same.
In battle, their mere presence casts an oppressive aura over the battlefield that makes anyone, friend or foe, cower in fear, and their fabled life-draining abilities and rotting touch allow them to turn any living being into an empty husk in a matter of seconds. If sufficiently injured, they’ll start stealing energy from their surroundings indiscriminately until the whole area becomes a wasteland, which isn’t actually something they want. As the deity’s human form, Calem can transform into Yveltal at the cost of losing his consciousness or, alternatively, briefly separate from the deity so that the two of them can coexist at the same time, but this is tantamount to ripping his soul out of his body. Both options hurt.
Yveltal has been known by many different names over the course of history, as no matter the time or culture, everyone knows about death. While the name ‘Yveltal’ is already specific enough as is, if they need to be told apart from Calem specifically, they have been known to go by Thanatos, as it’s a name given to them by humans in the past which they actually like. Calem refers to them derisively as ‘the bird’, though.
