Now it’s his turn. In Akito’s case, he rarely ever captures pokemons, since his mind is on pokemon contests, he rather “recruit” pokemons who have talent and are also interested in show business. Even Yuki, his first pokemon, began this way: when he was a kid, he once encountered her, still as a snorunt, more focused into singing and dancing rather than picking up fights; he didn’t even have to fight her, he just asked her politely if she would join him.
And just like that, he eventually got his full contest team.
Just like with Nagiza’s, there’s a little intro for each of his team members after the jump.
•Nezumi the crobat: This crobat is the group’s choreographer. He usually watches over every practice from the air and gives instructions to everyone on how to move. Akito found him when he was still a zubat; and from the first sight, he realize Nezumi was one of the best air acrobats he had ever met. His ultrasonic waves help him feel the movements precisely, and map the best movements for everyone.
•Chu the Mimikyu: The tailor of the group. Chu is an expert when it comes to fashion; has a really good sense for colors and fabrics and, the best thing, she can sew so fast Akito pretty much uses her as a portable sewing machine. She has attachment issues.
•Mirage the meowstic: The group stylish. This female meowstic uses her psychic powers and her third (and fourth) eyes to pick and create the best style for everyone. This includes hair, makeup, hair/fur color, and yes, she’s the one at fault for Akito’s current hairstyle; before he had a bowl cut.
Akito has her since she was an espurr and, spoiler alert, she has some fault in Ivy evolving into a Leafeon instead of a Sylveon uwù
•Kokoro the drifloon: The group storyteller. Similar to how Nagiza received a shiny Dragonite from her dad, Akito received this Drifloon with a rare mark from his mom. This gift came after Akito was already traveling with Nagiza for a while, due to some concerns his mom had with giving him a drifloon, which were relieved after seeing how much of a good friend Nagiza was with her son. Nagiza also began to try to speak with this drifloon immediately, and in doing so, she realized this guy had a lot of imagination for telling scary stories.. (yeah… imagination.. let’s say that’s the case heheh💦); which was perfect for Akito’s team, which already had a kind of creepy and mysterious aesthetic. Kokoro makes stories that everyone turns into presentations together.
•Midori the Springatito: The last and youngest member of the team. Akito caught him during that time he and Nagiza went into Paldea, when she dared him to catch the first thing they saw moving with a quickball. Akito was reluctant of keeping the springatito at first, since he didn’t really quite fit into his aesthetic, unless he ever wants to evolve into a meowscarada; but the little kitten quickly won his place on the team. As it turns out, he became great at acting and dancing, and the stories they performed about the innocent kitten being cursed or chased by the evil ice queen quickly captivated the public. Needless to say, this little guy came to stay.
