so a lot of my main pokémon ocs are from the same universe, with most of them sharing a school, albeit at different points. sometimes. ok a lot went to school together at some point.
No Name, legally Terry Deerling, who ditched school (I think??) and later moved to Ferrum to be a technique specialist. People initially thought they were going to be a poison specialist, but that was just coincidence of what pokémon they got.
Euca Lipton, a fire-type enthusiast and Terry’s best friend. He settled in Orre after a couple years of travelling, becoming a bartender and moving in with his at-the-time-fiancé & professional pokemon stylist Dante and his Bergmite.
Melanie, who was seriously injured after graduating. Going by Wat (based on an old nickname) out of necessity now, Mel works at a prestigious daycare while illegally battling with their enthusiastic mons as a side hustle.
Arabella, an ex-champion, Melanie’s school-sweetheart and still long-standing crush. She actively tries to forget most of her time in school, but her Whimsicott Fuzzbul will not let her forget battling information any time soon.
Marlow was left disillusioned from xir time in the school. Initially an equally unhappy member of Team Rocket, xe eventually became the head of a casino circuit in Unova and is a business partner of xir former employer. Most of xir pokémon are “rehomed” from current and prior Team Rocket members.
