I was playing some pokemon today, and wanted to see what kinds of trainers a few of the characters might be. I didn’t design these teams to be competitive at all, I just picked pokemon that they like or that I think suit them for whatever reason. A few of the pokemon were chosen because I imagined the scenario in which they’d meet, and I liked it (Still’s Ralts, Hots’ Beautifly, and Scanner’s Bagon are some of these). I might make this an AU and do a post or two about them, if I feel like it later.
(also, you cant see it but of course Hots has a ponytail)
(also i only did any sprite edits on Trajectory’s team. Trickshot’s skin should be a bit darker, and Hot Start’s top should be bright yellow)
Trajectory’s Pokemon:
Roserade (shiny) - Its sweet aroma attracts prey. Then it spews poison. The more toxic it is, the sweeter its aroma.
Arbok - With a very vengeful nature, it won't give up the chase, no matter how far, once it targets its prey.
Crobat - It flies so silently through the dark on its four wings that it may not be noticed even when nearby.
Mightyena - Mightyena travel and act as a pack in the wild. The memory of its life in the wild compels the pokémon to obey only those trainers that it recognizes to possess superior skill.
Gardevoir - It will try to guard its trusted Trainer with its life. It has the ability to see the future.
Banette - Banette generates energy for laying strong curses by sticking pins into its own body. This pokémon was originally a pitiful plush doll that was thrown away.
Blacknet’s Pokemon:
Luxray - When its eyes gleam gold, it can spot hiding prey--even those taking shelter behind a wall.
Steelix - Tempered underground under high pressure and heat, its body is harder than any metal.
Sharpedo - It can swim at speeds of 75 mph by jetting seawater through its body. It is the bandit of the sea.
Seviper - In battle, it uses its bladed tail to counter any Zangoose. It secretes a deadly venom in its tail.
Yanmega - Its jaw power is incredible. It is adept at biting apart foes while flying by at high speed.
Toxicroak - Its knuckle claws secrete a toxin so vile that even a scratch could prove fatal.
Stillwatch’s Pokemon:
Haunter - If you get the feeling of being watched in darkness when nobody is around, Haunter is there.
Misdreavus - It likes playing mischievous tricks such as screaming and wailing to startle people at night.
Umbreon - When darkness falls, the rings on the body begin to glow, striking fear in the hearts of anyone nearby.
Skarmory - Its sturdy wings look heavy, but they are actually hollow and light, allowing it to fly freely in the sky.
Ralts - A Ralts has the power to sense the emotions of people and pokémon with the horns on its head. It takes cover if it senses any hostility.
Noctowl - Its extremely soft feathers make no sound in flight. It silently sneaks up on prey without being detected.
Hot Start’s Pokemon:
Liligant - The fragrance of the garland on its head has a relaxing effect. It withers if a Trainer does not take good care of it.
Audino - It touches others with the feelers on its ears, using the sound of their heartbeats to tell how they are feeling.
Beautifly - When flower fields bloom, it flits around, collecting pollen. Despite its appearance, it is savage.
Chimecho - Its cries echo inside its hollow body to emerge as beautiful notes for startling and repelling foes.
Ninetails - It has nine long tails and fur that gleams gold. It is said to live for 1,000 years.
Munchlax - It conceals food under the long fur on its body. It carts around this food stash and swallows it without chewing.
Trickshot’s Pokemon:
Scizor (shiny) - Scizor has a body with the hardness of steel. It is not easily fazed by ordinary sorts of attacks. This pokémon flaps its wings to regulate its body temperature.
Aggron - It claims an entire mountain as its own. The more wounds it has, the more it has battled, so don’t take it lightly.
Ampharos - The tail’s tip shines brightly and can be seen from far away. It acts as a beacon for lost people.
Snivy - It is very intelligent and calm. Being exposed to lots of sunlight makes its movements swifter.
Pawniard - Ignoring their injuries, groups attack by sinking the blades that cover their bodies into their prey.
Marowak - The bone it holds is its key weapon. It throws the bone skillfully like a boomerang to KO targets.
Scanner’s Pokemon:
Linoone - It charges prey at speeds over 60 mph. However, because it can only run straight, it often fails.
Seadra - Its body bristles with sharp spikes. Carelessly trying to touch it could cause fainting from the spikes.
Krabby - If it senses danger approaching, it cloaks itself with bubbles from its mouth so it will look bigger.
Tyrogue - Even though it is small, it can't be ignored because it will slug any handy target without warning.
Bagon - Bagon has a dream of one day soaring in the sky. In doomed efforts to fly, this pokémon hurls itself off cliffs. As a result of its dives, its head has grown tough and as hard as tempered steel.
Sandslash - It curls up in a ball to protect itself from enemy attacks. It also curls up to prevent heatstroke during the daytime when temperatures rise sharply.
I’m actually answering all the questions for each character that gets asked about. So you get 8 whole bonus answers!
1: sexuality headcanonShe’s an aromantic heterosexual.
2: otpStillwatch x Blacknet x Trajectory in a poly QPP (it’s not canon but I like it)
3: brotpStillwatch x Trajectory
4: notpTrajectory x Blacknet in a romantic relationship (other types of relationship are okay, though Blacknet would probably try to make them romantic anyway)
5: first headcanon that pops into my headShe loves sweets so much, probably has a secret stash of treats in her office. Never shares them with anyone, but Stillwatch knows where they are and sometimes sneaks one for herself.
6: favorite line from this characterNo idea, but >this incorrect quote< I picked for her is pretty cool.
7: one way in which I relate to this characterHonestly, I really don’t relate to her as much as a lot of my other characters. We’re very different types of people, with very different worldviews. But if I had to pick something, it would be how she’s not terribly social but cares intensely about the few people who are truly important to her.
8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this characterNothing I can think of. She tends to be pretty reserved and doesn’t do much that’s embarrassing, which is a relief.
9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave? Problematic fave, for sure.
