Tiny is more prone to eating than is he is training. Sporting a very pleasant personality and a chipper attitude, he bonded with Melaka before she could even be fully aware what was happening, and has been with her since. Now an Aggron, she's not fully aware of his size of power, despite Melaka's efforts to toughen him up by training with an aging Aggron she met in the Deep Mines. Still, he does get along with everyone has a general rule, both on and off the team.

Pre-4/15

Pre-8/5

Tiny was the first pokemon that Melaka bonded with, and it was largely by accident. Because of this, Melaka's connection to him as always been weaker than with, say, Sneak or Lurks. Despite this, Tiny is an affectionate little creature who is willing to give his all as long as he's fed and Melaka wants him to push it. That said, despite Melaka's best efforts, Tiny remains much more of a lover than a fighter. On the whole, the Aron is content to eat and relax more than push himself in exercise (let alone battles) unless one of the others push him into it. Originally, Melaka had fed him a little bit of everything but little metal, which is why despite being fairly rotund, Tiny was never very large. Now, Melaka goes out of her way to take him down to the Iron Mines or collect salvage for him.

When it comes to the rest of the team, Tiny has no particularly great rapport with the others, but doesn't garner any particularly great dislike from anyone (except perhaps Brownie).  All of the team gets along with Tiny, but none of them would call him their best friend.  Of all of them, Slugger probably gets along with him the best though.

Pre-1/28

<ul><li>"Tiny" is an ironic name which Melaka picked out under the suggestions of people on the warp band (specifically Rise, in this case) - the Aggron is actually very rotund, and has always eaten more than is perhaps properly healthy for his species, and often with too little metal involved. He's also a bit on the lazy side of things.</li>
<li>His attitude is generally friendly and pleasant to the point of silliness. No one on the team takes him particularly seriously if they've known him longer than a few minutes. Even now, when he has significant strength, he doesn't use it very effectively without direction. This direction, though, Melaka is happy to provide - Tiny is quite strong.</li>
<li>Despite this, he does look up to this one scarred and surly Aggron that Melaka and him met in the Deep Mines, and this is what inspired him and Kettie to work very hard to plow through two evolutions in a very short time. He'd barely experienced being a Lairon before becoming an Aggron.</li>
<li>He lives a comfortable lifestyle in the Habitat, but sometimes wishes that he could hang out with everyone else on the team more. The only ones who seem to want to do it that much outside of training are Broder and Gunther, who he tends to play silly games with, sometimes involving Broder as the ball.</li>
<li>Despite that, recently, Gunther has recruited Tiny to help him out with different things at his job or in moving into his own little apartment. Tiny's a good source of manual labor for the Jigglypuff, and the Aggron is oblivious to the fact he might be being manipulated a little. Melaka's unaware of this so far.</li>
<li>Favorite Teammates: Slugger, Broder, Gunther (one sided)</li>

Lives In: The park nearest Melaka's apartment

Sneak (formerly Little Sneak) was the first pokémon that Melaka bonded with intentionally, due to how much she impressed her during their encounter. Sneak is a lonely pokémon, who was isolated in the wild and found a family in Mel's team. As a result of both that an her seniority, she tends to be the mother of the crew when she isn't being childish herself. While she was a Phantump she followed Melaka everywhere, since evolving that's been harder, but she's still a team regular.

Pre-4/15

Pre-8/5

Sneak (originally named "Little Sneak") is the first pokemon that Melaka reached out to bond with of her own volition and perhaps because of that, Sneak has a strong sense of loyalty to her trainer. In the wild, Sneak was a lonely pokemon who was isolated from almost all other ones, and developed a very difficult, self-serving personality as a result to cover up her want to be part of a group. In Melaka, she has found a group, and is slowly growing out of that personality - though old habits die hard. Melaka has given Sneak free reign to harass or scare anyone she wants as long as she doesn't hurt anyone, and Sneak regularly takes advantage of that to scare other members of the team and the neighbors. While Sneak was originally Melaka's go-to battler, at this point she has fallen behind a lot of the more physical oriented ones, such as Lurks or Slugger - a fact which has her somewhat frustrated due to her desire to be helpful to her trainer. Despite this, she is the one who is always at Melaka's side.

Among the team, Sneak gets along best with Lurks and the babies.  Her and Lurks actually share a very solid friendship despite her growing jealousy of his reliability (though he often assures her they are equally effective).  With the babies, because she lives with them, they both see her as sort of a favored aunt - which has resulted in her butting heads with Willow here and there, but in a more eyeroll sort of way than serious conflict.  Slugger and Shimmer she is largely neutral to, but Brownie has gone out of his way to not get along with her.  So she has responded in turn, regularly harassing him.

Pre-1/28

<ul><li>She was originally named "Little Sneak," but that proved far too cumbersome to be a regular name. Even though Tiny was the first pokémon that Melaka bonded with technically, it is Sneak who was the first that she made an active agreement with.</li>
<li>Up until she evolved, Sneak lived in Melaka's apartment with her, and the two were inseparable, largely due to Sneak's desire to be useful for Melaka and abate the loneliness she'd felt in the wild. After her evolution, due to her new size, she was forced to move out, and she's still getting used to it. Before she evolved she was eager, now she regrets it a little.</li>
<li>For a long time, Lurks, Slugger, and Sneak were Melaka's three most - arguably only - reliable pokémon. While she doesn't exactly get along poorly with Slugger, she got along swimmingly with Lurks. She also is the "cool aunt" of both of the original two babies, and she's very attached to all of them as her precious first friends (other than perhaps Melaka).</li>
<li>Willow recently convinced her to go on a pilgrimage with her to go to the Moss Rock. Sneak isn't sure that she felt anything that special when she was there, but she did end up joing the Legion of the Moss Rock, at least in name. She's the least active member of it on Melaka's team, though.</li>
<li>Kettie nests in the same park that Sneak has set up shop in. The bird goes out of it's way to poop on her when she's trying to bask in the moonlight, like any ghost tree does. It really bugs her, and while the two have yet to come to blows over it, it's something which will be coming like a freight train.</li>

If Lurks is her loyal knight, then Slugger is Melaka's dutiful samurai. Encountered in the mountains and impressed into joining the team, since then Slugger has dedicated himself utterly to living up to what he sees his trainer's expectations as being. This has earned him a lasting spot as one of Melaka's main three, alongside Sneak and Lurks. A big of a boy scout, Slugger tends to hold everyone else to his standards as well, but despite this is the only one who really gets along with Brownie.

Pre-4/15

Pre-9/6

Slugger was recruited by Melaka during her second journey to the mountains, fighting the humans who he felt had come in on his territory. When Melaka soundly defeated him he became interested in joining her ragtag bunch as an understudy. Since then, no one else on Melaka's team has trained harder or pushed himself more to try to achieve the same sort of might that he sees in her. Perhaps because of this, he was the first of her team to evolve - something which he saw as a moment of personal triumph.

Briefly, he became somewhat more egotistical, but as the others started to put up a better challenge to him in mock-fights, he got right back on the diligent train. Melaka relies on him as one of her strongest fighters, as well as on his ears and nose to keep track of people in the wild. Ever eager to prove himself, Slugger will tend to be the last one standing in a dire situation and the first one to step up in a less serious one. Until he evolved, he tended to follow Melaka around Union regularly, picking up items to try to impress her. Since evolving, that's stopped and he spends more time in the Habitats except when they are out of Union. The city life never appealed to him anyway, honestly.

Among the rest of the team, the opinion on Slugger is split right down the center. Lurks is able to see the heart in him, and supports him quietly. Sneak is neutral towards him and Tiny of course gets along with everyone. But a lot of the newer members such as Willow, Shimmer, and Gunther all think that he's an annoying boyscout. Of special note, however, is his relationship with Brownie. Initially, it was simply that Slugger was the only one who would put up with him, but now the two are actually friends, living in the same burrow in the Habitat. Not that Brownie would ever admit it.

Pre-1/28

<li>Melaka found Slugger as a Phanpy in the mountains during her second official ranger mission, as a young elephant who wanted to defend his home. When Melaka soundly defeated him, he instead dedicated himself to becoming stronger. To the date, he's the most dedicated and hard working of Melaka's team</li>
<li>Slugger is serious minded, and especially after his evolution he has practiced a sort of zen to try and hone his senses to their utmost so that Melaka can rely upon him. As a result he has excellent hearing and an excellent sense of smell.</li>
<li>Despite the above (or perhaps because of it) he is the only member of the team who gets along with Brownie enough for them to be called friends. Brownie and him share a living space, and when they aren't training, fighting, or out on missions, the two tend to be together a lot, especially after Slugger's evolution.</li>
<li>Prior to evolving, Slugger used to regularly follow Melaka around town, fancying himself as her guard. This role's long since been replaced by Lurks, and as someone who doesn't like the city life much anyway, he's become okay with hanging out in the habitat.</li>
<li>Many of the other members of Melaka's team don't specifically dislike Slugger, but a lot of them do find his self-styled "control" to be frustrating. Older members of the team also recall a time when he was more egotistical than his current "wise one" schtick, and still are flummoxed by that.</li>

Lives In: The Pokémon Habitat - often hangs out around Union

Originally, Melaka bonded with the then somewhat cowardly Croagunk who would become known as Lurks to have someone to lead her out of the marshlands. Since then, Lurks has relied on his trainer to help him become tougher and to give him greater purpose. He's become Melaka's stalwart knight, always standing at attention and ready to do what's asked of him, even if he might be scared by it. Perhaps because of his true disposition, he tends to awkwardly laugh when he's too tense and be a tad stoic.

Pre-4/15 Serious by the standards of its species, Lurks was a pokemon Melaka encountered during her first patrol in the week following the second expedition to the mountains. Cowardly by her standards, Lurks has been watching her for some time until Sneak identified where her was. Lurks was bonded with because of Melaka needing someone to help her get out of the swamp once she got lost. He liked the idea of the connection that Sneak and her seemed to have and wanted to emulate that. As of yet, the bond is not close, but it does remain on his mind. Lurks lives in the Pokemon Habitat mostly to remain hydrated, but is regularly with Melaka around town in Union.	Pre-6/7 Melaka's initial impression of Lurks was that he was a coward. When she encountered the frog in the wild, he had followed her for a long while until Sneak pointed out to Melaka that he was there. Melaka was lost in the swamp at the time, and chased him down to force him to lead them all back out. He bonded with her then, wanting to understand what had caused Sneak and her to have such a positive connection. Since then, Lurks has become Melaka's stoic knight. He's trained as hard as the rest of her team (perhaps harder, if you discount Slugger), and has become one of the ones Melaka relies on the most for physical challenges - he is, for example, her go-to guard for the babies when they need someone to guard them. Despite this, he still has not quite conquered his initial wariness bordering on cowardice. When he feels wary or awkward, Lurks will tend to laugh, and it's an obvious tell that left to his own circumstances, he would have fled. Nothing has yet pushed him far enough to abandon the posts Melaka puts him on though. Among the rest of the team, Lurks quiet and serious nature really annoys Brownie and Willow, albeit in different ways (obviously, Brownie's way is the violent one, as evidenced by how many times the monkey has challenged the frog to a duel). Lurks and Sneak share a special relationship, often chatting it up when nothing else is going on and generally enjoying each other's company. He is also the one on the team closest to Shimmer, because he is the only one of the team who is amphibious (and none of them are aquatic).	Pre-9/6 Melaka first encountered Lurks when she was exploring the swampland around Union. She became quite lost and, after taking note that someone had been following her from a distance, Melaka cornered and eventually bonded with the somewhat cowardly but deeply serious Croagunk. Lurks then took them out of the swamp, eager to bond with Melaka and achieve the same level of obvious comfort that she and Sneak visibly shared at the time - and since then, Lurks has become arguably Melaka's most diligent and most loyal pokémon. Lurks is a quiet pokémon, arguably serious to a fault and with a strong sense of duty which he tries to hold onto to overcome his natural hesitation to enter dangerous situations. The frog considers himself something of a coward at heart, and while when they met Melaka might have agreed, this is far from the case now. Over time, his diligence and increasing strength led to him becoming Melaka's "knight" and enforcer - the pokémon who could make sure the others were in light and protected, as well as the one she could count on to defend her allies in a stressful situation where her and some of the others needed to focus on the front lines. Lurks leapt into these expectations with open arms, not wanting to disappoint his Trainer. While he is often quiet and serious, when he feels awkward or afraid, he has a tendency to laugh. Even he isn't really sure if it's just a nervous tick born out of his Anticipation ability or to lighten the mood. While there are some members of Melaka's cadre who had bad things to say about Lurks - chiefly those who are rubbed the wrong way by his diligent demeanor like Brownie or Willow - none of them hold him in any special contempt. In truth, almost all of them have been helped or protected - especially in the case of the babies - at some point or another and while some of them might resent either that fact or his quiet personality, none of them dislike <i>him</i>. Of special note is Sneak and Slugger, who together make up a "trinity" of Melaka's most relied upon pokémon, and both of which have a decent rapport with the frog. Since Shimmer joined the team, Lurks moved out of the area of the habitat he had been in before and moved into the water section, so as to better bond with his new compatriot. Because of that, the two of them are much closer than Shimmer is to anyone else on the team, possibly including Melaka. During the journey to Caldera, Lurks (due to his drying out) was not of much use in the Western Desert, and thus spent most of his time with Shimmer. The two played and worked hard, resulting in the both of them having evolved when Melaka made it home to Union - a very pleasant surprise.
Pre-1/28 <ul><li>Melaka first encountered Lurks when she was lost in the Marshlands - he was cowardly and hiding, but keeping a close eye on her and Sneak. Melaka bonded with him once she discovered him in order to find her way out of the swamp. He's remained with her since.</li> <li>While still somewhat timid at heart, Lurks has dedicated himself to being Melaka's most loyal knight in a sense - he's almost always beside her or beside whomever he's assigned to guard, lurking a few feet behind them and keeping close watch. He's arguably the one she depends on the most.</li> <li>Lurks has a decent relationship with most of the rest of the team, and a special one with long standing staples like Sneak and Slugger.

The layout of the Toxicroak face means that he often looks like he's smiling, but by the standards of the frogs, he's actually rather stoic a lot of the time.</li> <li>He recently had a falling out of sorts with Willow, when he pointed out that she might not belong at the Moss Rock at all because her poison side seems stronger than her grass side.

And most other grass types.</li> <li><b>Favorite Teammates</b>: Shimmer, Sneak, Slugger</li> <li><b>Least Favorite Teammates</b>: Brownie, Willow, Kettie</li></ul>

Shiram and Queenie are a dynamic duo - they have been since they were born, and when they evolved (Shiram for the second time, and Queenie for the first) they moved into the Habitat together due to their increased size. While still overall small for a Charizard and still with a curious and somewhat of a fidgety attitude, Shiram has become more used to his new firepower, joining the ranks of Melaka's more dedicated fighters. He's still a loyal member of the Legion of the Moss Rock, though.

Pre-4/15 Melaka encountered Shiram while scouting out the Scorched Forest for a future ranger mission. The thing was in a partially hatched egg whose clutch had all been eaten, and there was blood to indicate the parents had been killed too. He immediately attached to her as a mother figure and currently has a budding friendship born of mutual babyhood with her Machop. He's named from a fragment of a name she found in an old library book, while researching powerful dragons - having been inspired by Armin's talk of what he'll eventually become. Because he is currently a small baby he lives in Melaka's apartment.	Pre-9/6 Shiram was in a nest of slaughtered Charmander eggs Melaka found in the Scorched Forest. Given there was evidence that the parents had been killed too and that the egg had hatched in front of her, Shiram was taken in by Melaka. The more simple of the two babies, Shiram is easily impressed and very curious about the world around him. He's prone to fidgeting when nothing is going on, but on the whole he's not a bad kid. He was named for a fragmented passage on a legendary dragon that Melaka found in the library and sounded cool after Armin told Melaka that Charmanders evolve into dragons. Among the rest of the team, Shiram is inseparable from Queenie. He might be slightly older than her, but you would never know it watching the two of them - Queenie is the headstrong one, and Shiram will follow her lead, except when his curiosity makes him go ahead of her. Among the others he is most impressed with Willow (having willingly joined her Legion), Sneak (their cool aunt), and Lurks (their regularly guardian). None of the others have a strong impression on him.	Pre-3/1 <ul><li>Shiram was a pokémon that Melaka found, barely hatched, out in the Scorched Forest. The area around the nest he was in seemed to imply his parents had been killed, and so she took him in and named him after some god she'd found a vague reference to in a library book.</li> <li>Because he hatched around the same time as Queenie, the two were for a long time "the babies" - raised in Melaka's apartment by Sneak and later Trooper, and inseparable from each other. This remains true even though they are both somewhat more mature now.</li> <li>Shiram's bright and curious about the world around him. In spite of his tragic beginnings, he has a deep attachment to his team, Melaka, Queenie, and more or less everyone else he encountered. It's for this reason he was the first to join Willow's Legion of the Moss Rock, despite being a contradictory type.</li> <li>Shiram hasn't changed much since his evolution - if anything, the fact that he evolved before Queenie did was a surprise to everyone, himself included. His newfound size and somewhat increase in power though has prompted him to go out and explore more.</li> <li>Lately, given that him and Queenie are almost a year old, Melaka's been trying to use them more in a battle situation, taking them out into the Verdant Forest to give them proper battle experience. They still don't participate in spars with the rest of the crew, though.</li> <li><b>Favorite Teammates</b>: Queenie, Trooper, Willow</li> <li><b>Least Favorite Teammates</b>: Kettie (harassed him)</li></ul>
Pre-4/9 Shiram is the more "meek" of the dynamic duo that is Shiram and Queenie, but that should not be taken to mean that he's timid. Inquisitive by nature, but not prone to strutting his stuff, the Charmeleon is actually fairly small for his species, probably because of complications in being born prematurely when Melaka found him. Still, his name holds hope that he'll become the dragon Melaka knows he can be, and until then, he'll have fun with all of his friends on her team.

Queenie is still the queen, a brave and loyal warrior on Melaka's team, a loyal member of the Legion of the Moss Rock, and the best possible friend one could imagine for Shiram. Now a "mature" adult though, she wears her now-fitting King's Rock with pride, pushing back against everything which used to slow them now. Most notably, Queenie has taken to trying to call Brownie out on his shit and match him punch for punch.

Pre-4/15

Pre-9/6

As an egg, Queenie was left to be cared for at the breeding center.  Perhaps because of this (or because Queenie hatched when Malaka wasn't there, ironically out on the mission where she found Shiram) Queenie does not see Melaka as a mother in the same way that the Charmander does.  While she did bond with her, she did so only because Melaka bribed her with her King's Rock, which Queenie was instantly taken with - which has resulted in her mildly ironic name, given that she almost always wears it as a tiara.  Queenie is the more in control and seemingly mature of the two babies, wanting to push herself harder and more opinionated about pretty much everything.  Initially, she tried to take the bed from Melaka, but a quick scuffle made her accept the armchair or the foot of the bed, sometimes, as her place to sleep.

The two babies are very close, with Queenie as the apparent leader of the two.  She's actually quite protective of Shiram, willing to go along with whatever he wants - which fortunately is not a common thing due to his less brash nature.  Queenie is totally confident, and arguably over-confident for her own good, which means she doesn't get along with Lurks (her often guardian) as well as Shiram.  She does, however, adore Sneak and has become increasingly enamored with Willow.  Other than a mild distaste for Brownie's attitude, she has no special opinion on the others.

Brownie might have originally been Jinxie's pokémon, but he's definitely become one of Melaka's team through and through now. Arrogant, angry, and prone to violence on a time, Brownie is only held in check from his passion for violence by a combination of being cowed my Melaka's power (he's never won a match with her) and his friendship with Slugger. Despite this, his desire to control his power has made him a truly dependable warrior these days.

Pre-4/15

Pre-9/6

Melaka traded a Magnemite that she bonded with (now named Screwball) for Brownie with Jinxie because the other girl had found the monkey's violent and somewhat sullen disposition impossible to deal with.  At a glance, it would seem like nothing has changed with Brownie: he is still quite violent, still will punch before he talks, and still picks a fight with everyone he encounters.  But met with Melaka as a trainer, Melaka hits back just as hard.  Because of this, while very little has changed about his attitude, Brownie has learned that he can't simply disregard everything that other people say.  Initially, he concluded that Melaka was cheating, knowing all sorts of fighting techniques that he just didn't happen to know.  However, she was also open to teach him these same techniques, and it became impossible for him to deny a very simple fact: for the time being, at least, Melaka was simply stronger than him.  A fact that frustrated him and pushed him to train harder.

When Brownie evolved into Primeape, his first action was to challenge everyone else on the team who would accept it to a fight, to determine the new pecking order. While he was visibly improved - especially in regards to technique - he was still bested by a few of them, including Melaka. It was this which made Brownie conclude that while he was now strong, he was not yet fighting smart. Since then, he's been trying to get his temper in check so that he might be able to increase his position on the pecking order, because despite what anyone else says, no one has yet convinced Brownie that might does not make right. Unfortunately for him and everyone else around him, his attempts to conquer himself have been his toughest challenge yet, and his attempts to be zen are thrown off constantly by his tendency to hold grudges over stupid things.

All of the rest of team except for Slugger at best tolerate Brownie, having come to accept his temper and tendency towards fighting as simply part of his character. Slugger, however, has become a friend of his, a fact that he is distinctly defensive about. Of note, though, is that Gunther has been able to regularly manipulate him using his temper against him, despite being a much newer recruit.

Shimmer is a little bit of a diva, all things considered, and wants to be the prettiest person (or well, pokémon) in every situation, and try to coach Melaka and hers in the art of looking good. She has a tendency towards sparkling, which is where she got her name from, and from the moment Melaka fixed her up using a haphazard rod it's been true. These days, she has a strong ally in Lurks, who has opted to live with her, and they have a great friendship. Still, she's also recently learned the need to be a strong battler.

Pre-4/15

Pre-6/7

Melaka caught Shimmer out by the ocean while she was attempting to find a pokemon which could transport her out to the (at the time newly discovered) tropical island.  Instead... she found Shimmer.  Shimmer and her bonded for a simple reason - Shimmer thought that the ocean was an unbecoming stage for her.  In reality, the fact is that a lot of the other Finneons that Shimmer has spawned with look as elegant as her or better and she wanted to stand out. What she has insisted on is that she simple wanted to show the humans how beautiful she could be so that they might appreciate the splendor of the ocean.  As with all of Melaka's team she has started to train for battles, but she'd more fond of verbal sparring than anything else.

Because Shimmer needs to live in the water, she visits the rest of the team only when they want to come up to the edge of the water, unless they are exploring somewhere which has water for her to swim in.  Perhaps because of this, the only one on the team she has a defined relationship with is Lurks, who she tends to sass at.

Pre-9/6

Melaka fished up Shimmer out of the ocean on order to gain a means to get to the as-of-then nearly discovered Tropical Island.  Using an improvised rod and minimal bait, she needed to wait a long time, and in the end, given the size of Finneons, it didn't pan out.  Instead, Melaka got the first pokémon on her line up she literally didn't know how to work with due to the fact that Shimmer is relegated strictly to the water and she, herself, still cannot swim.  Despite this, Melaka did find the then-Finneon very pretty and named her for the way that her scales reflected the light off of them.  Shimmer, a somewhat vain but also quite diva-like pokémon by nature, accepted her clumsy trainer on this grounds and took up residence in the Habitat.

Despite the relative incompatibility between Melaka and fish in general, she's done her best to try to coach Shimmer from the outer edge of the pool, visiting her in the pokémon Habitat regularly.  While she has yet to really make it back to the ocean other than to assist in the boat-building project, she has also assured Shimmer that once they do it'll be her time to shine.  And while Shimmer can't throw a punch - for obvious reasons - the grace with which she performs the moves she has learned always dazzles Melaka.

None of the other pokémon on Melaka's team know her beyond a superficial level except for Lurks.  Lurks, in fact, moved into the water segment of of the pokémon habitat so that he could better and more regularly speak with Shimmer.  She finds Lurks to be a little cute - in personality, she finds his looks frankly more than a little revolting - and welcomes his company.  It was for this reason that while the mainstay of Melaka's heavy hitters were busy with that Gigas invasion in Caldera, Shimmer and Lurks trained together and evolved together in time to surprise Melaka when she got back.

Trooper was recruited as a Silcoon and named because of withstanding Shiram's fire despite all of his friends fleeing And so, for about a month, Melaka allowed him to grow in his cocoon in the corner of her small apartment until finally, he emerged as a Beautifly. After that, and since then, Trooper's been sort of the assigned babysitter for the younger members of Melaka's team, a trait that his patience really works for.

Pre-4/15

Pre-5/3

Pre-9/6

When Melaka was training Shiram against comparatively weak bugs in the Verdant Forest, Trooper was one of the the bugs she encountered.  Isolated from all it's kindred, the cocoon still refused to back down and held a firm gaze.  It's for this reason that Melaka bonded with him and gave him a corner of her apartment to continue his time in the Silcoon stage in peace.  While he was a Silcoon, Trooper obviously could not do very much and just kept and eye on everyone who entered or left the apartment.

All of this changed when he finally sprouted out as a Beautifly. Willow evolved around the same time, and Trooper took up the duty of being the one who watched the babies while Mel and Sneak were off on adventures. Free of his own prison that he was in pre-evolution, the bug type pokemon has a tendency to fly all over the city when he's not playing babysitter to take in all the sights. He remains soft-spoken but diligent, and while he seems to have little interest in battle, he has a great interest in getting to know the rest of Melaka's team in a way which was simply impossible in his previous form. As a result, he has a budding relationship with all of them, even if some (most notably Brownie) don't seem to like him all that much. He has a particularly good relationship with Shimmer, unique of most of the rest of the team. It's probably because Trooper sparkles a little.

Lives In: The Pokemon Habitat - often hangs out around Union

Willow is a pokémon with a mission, who has a need to bring as many others as possible into the organization that is the Legion of the Moss Rock. An avid follower of a possibly self-created religion based on the worship of the Moss Rock, Willow grows moss on her body, which means that she smells even more than the average Gloom, a mix of sweet and pungent. Prone to being quirky and more than a little incomprehensible, she's got a special place among Melaka's.

Pre-4/15 Willow is the self-styled emissary of the Legion of the Moss Rock to Melaka's Pokemon. A devout of the religion related to the Moss Rock, Willow - so named because of the way he leaves droop due to her constantly putting moss on them - sees herself as a guardian of it. On Melaka's team, she is overseeing the two babies' training to become proper members of the Legion while Melaka oversees her own personal growth. Willow insists on living in Melaka's apartment to oversee the babies, but the lack of sunlight her apartment gets has been a problem. Melaka intends to install a window to help her out, but for now, she just lives in a potted soil patch in there and frequently walks outside. She also insists on regularly going to commune with the Moss Rock.	Pre-5/3 Willow can be charitably described as an odd duck. In fact, her appearance and name says it all: she is so named because of the fact that she deliberately grows moss on her leaves, causing them to droop in the way a normal Oddish's would not and look slightly unhealthy. Melaka thought that this made her resemble a Willow tree, hence the name Willow. The reason behind this is simple too - Willow is an emissary of the Legion of the Moss Rock, a group of worshipers and guardians who protect the sacred Moss Rock hidden deep in the Verdant Forest. She joined Melaka's group so that she might train the rest of them and spread the holy word of the Moss Rock to Union. Melaka, to humor her, has invested in a potted plant that Willow might root into for the nights and regularly takes her out to visit her beloved Moss Rock when time allows. However, like all of her pokemon, Willow has been trained for battle just in case. Willows sees this as a means to be a better guardian. The two babies of the team have willingly become members of the Legion of the Moss Rock, and thus are technically Willow's underlings - a "duty" that the Oddish takes very seriously, and will often preach or attempt to otherwise "train" them. None of the rest of the team is especially close to her, but all of them have learned to accept her oddity with a smile and an eyeroll for the most part.	Pre-9/6 Willow is an oddball, a self-styled emissary of the Legion of the Moss Rock, sworn to protect the sacred rock which all grass pokemon should at some point make a pilgrimage to (or so she claims). She actually hit it off with the two babies of Melaka's team - Queenie and Shiram - while she was training them out int he Verdant Forest and came upon the sacred grove. Thereafter, both the train the babies in the way of the Legion and to get stronger herself through Melaka's training, she took up residence in Melaka's apartment, sometimes going out on the town in order to spread the good word of the Moss Rock. However, all of this changed with her evolution. While her growing moss on her leaves an Oddish was mostly just quirky, as a Gloom, Willow's attempts to grow moss on her body have made her stench unbearable for even the most hardened members of Melaka's team. While her growing power had netted her a spot on Melaka's main battle team, it has also banished her from Melaka's apartment. Willow now resides in the Pokemon Habitat on the Poison floor, much to her chagrin. She would have preferred the grass floor, but none of the other pokemon there would tolerate her stink either, and so she now resides as one of the few grass types on the toxic floor of the building. The two babies of Melaka's team do still regularly visit her, flanked by Lurks the Croagunk (the only member of Melaka's team who can tolerate the poison floor, as well as suggest places for them to go in it without danger) but none of the rest of the team other than Melaka really want much to do with her between her odd personality and her smell. Despite this, Willow's chipper attitude has not been damaged and she still makes regular forays into the city... to simply somewhat worse results.
Pre-3/2 <ul><li>Willow is a strange Gloom that used to be a strange Oddish - Melaka met her when she recruited both of her original two baby pokémon into the Legion of the Moss Rock, a group dedicated to the defense of the Moss Rock. Since then, some other members of her team (namely, Broder and Sneak) have also joined the "cause, with different levels of dedication.</li> <li>Living to the beat of her own drum, Willow doesn't tend to get along with anyone but the most happy or chilled out people or pokémon naturally, but she also doesn't dislike anyone in particular. She's content to go through life in her own world, one which involves trying to tie the lives of others to the glory of moss.</li> <li>Willow used to live in a pot for a potted plant in Melaka's apartment, until she involved. Then slightly larger and <i>much</i> more smelly, she was forced to move out. the grass floor wouldn't have her, and thus much to her chagrin, she ended up on the poison floor. Where no one cares about the Moss Rock.</li> <li>Part of what makes Willow smell is that she grows moss on top of her head. As an Oddish, this meant that her leaves sagged (hence the name) but as a Gloom, she glows it on the ill-formed flower atop her crown. This gives her Gloom-stench a weirdly sweet smell.</li> <li>As much as she likes moss, and therefore the shadows, Willow is much more energetic when she's in the sun. This dichotomy means that she tends to have uppers and downers, largely based on how much sun she got in the course of that day. She can go from energetic and in your face to passive and strange.</li> <li><b>Favorite Teammates</b>: Shiram, Queenie, Broder (all joined Legion)</li> <li><b>Least Favorite Teammates</b>: N/A (doesn't dislike anyone)</li></ul>

Gunther is both a key part of Melaka's team and somewhat independent of her. A shrewd business... pokémon. He's fairly independent creature, who found a job working at a little antique shop on the strip, selling useless items it's collected or can't be sold from the owner either to other pokémon or to trainers who can speak to them. He joined up with Melaka in order to get an in on the city life, and via training with her he's gotten much stronger over time, and can collect unique items from outside the walls, including material he can trade for his cigars.

Pre-9/6

Melaka met the Gunther during the Spring Fling fiesta of pollen and odd behavior from many people and pokemon.  As it turns out, Gunther was one of those pokemon acting oddly.   The Jigglypuff had come into Union with many others of his kind (mostly female ones, being one of the rare male Jigglypuffs) and was immediately taken with the city, wanting to enjoy all of the pleasures that he could find in it.  Melaka came upon him robbing people of their trinkets and candy, and bonded with him at the end of a chase.  As for the name: he actually named himself.  He pointed out the name in a newspaper.

But this was not the oddity: the oddity came in the fact that Gunther was in fact acting much nicer than his true personality at the time. Once the pollen wore off, Gunther became even more interested in the city - taking to wearing vanity glasses and looking into more vices that he might enjoy. Knowing that Melaka is his ticket to remaining here and building up a life here (or at least perceiving her as such, having been a wild pokemon until then) he trains with her and the others, but he is a breed apart from the rest of them. When he isn't training or spending small amounts of quality time with them, he is out on the town doing Savior knows what. None of them seem to know what he's doing, but he does put on a charming face for them, so they all allow it.

Sasha is a pokémon who always finds herself at a crossroads - she likes to look very pretty, but she also likes to be strong, the best of the best when it comes to the sparring that happens in her team. While she was a Drilbur, she was a magpie - she's gotten past that now that she's evolved, but she does go out of her way to get little trinkets or jewelry to accent herself. She also has a budding interest in theater. All of these things are something she's working on time managing.

Pre-8/5

Melaka encountered Sasha during a trip into the Deep Mines where she intended to meet and Aggron she had encountered before on a previous mission.  Ironically, this Aggron had been nearly killed by an Excadrill, and as a result Melaka was immediately wary of the Drilbur she encountered.  However, it quickly became clear that Sasha was nowhere near as strong, old, or dangerous as the larger counterpart, and Melaka ended up bonding with the somewhat awkward pokémon.  Partially out of surprise and apology for the mistake but also because of curiosity as to if she would evolve into the same species as the one from before.

In terms of personality, Sasha is a magpie.  The mole tends to have a tunnel going everywhere, and os basking in the fact that Union is a far less brutal "society" than the tunnels from whence she came, and despite a shy personality - which is largely why she has no strong bonds with the rest of Melaka's team as of yet - she has taken it upon herself to show off the things she has collected or dug up to people or pokémon who'll listen.  Union's "earth," being a tower city, is very different from her first home, unfortunately.

Pre-3/4

<ul><li>Sasha's a surprisingly timid little mole. Even now, she's small for an Excadrill, though that doesn't meant she's lacking in power. Really, it's more like confidence that she has a dearth of, despite all the efforts she's made to grow stronger through working with her trainer.</li>
<li>When she was a Drilbur, Sasha made a habit of tunneling around under Unions roads as she navigated the city. She still does sometimes, but as an Excadrill she's found that makes problems for people with the potholes she can make when she surfaces. As a result, she's gotten more used to running on her two feet.</li>
<li>She's a bit of a magpie - Sasha is very fond of collecting shiny or otherwise interesting objects and making use out of them as accessories, items to pay off Gunther for more interesting items, or just parts of her collection. She keeps a stash in her burrow.</li>
<li>Perhaps because of the magpie behavior, Sasha is the one who created Mel's interest in the battle use of berries in earnest through her discovery of both individual berries and some trees of them in the Verdant Forest. Prior to this, Melaka mainly only kept Aspear or Oran berries, but now uses as wide variety.</li>
<li>Recently, Sasha's taken an interest in theater, perhaps due to a favorable encounter with Haruka's Beartic. Time will tell if anything comes of this newfound interest, but she at least likes the idea of dressing up and accessorizing more.</li>

Melaka happened to be his choice due to being in the same area as him at the time, and he was fond of her multi-coloured hair - like the cape he has on him, a blue cape with a red inside (asking how he got it just has him saying that each of those in his group has them: it represents their squad).

Vrill's grown a lot since the days when he was a wee Sandile named after a children's book character. Now that he's evolved he has a little bit more attitude, but he's still fairly docile on the whole. Unlike most Krokoroks, Vrill tends towards being on all fours, not being very bipedal. He likes to curl up on Melaka's bed, bite on things (sometimes shocking them) he's curious about, and playing with Vale.

Pre-3/4

<ul><li>Vrill was born out of the egg that Melaka received when the active trainers of Union all received pokémon eggs sporting egg moves in the aftermath of their first encounter with the Citadel. The egg was cared for by Trooper in Melaka's apartment for the most part, confident he could manage it. She accepted so she wouldn't need to pay breeding center fees.</li>
<li>Melaka was actually there when Vrill was born, and it's there that she learned about the little scamp's egg move - the young crocodile bite down on her hand and electrocuted her. Mel ended up laughing this off, but the light punch she made in retaliation did spook Vrill.</li>
<li>Vrill was named after a character in a children's book Melaka read in her youth about a duo of pokémon going on a series of misadventures named Vrill and Boluz. In the story, Boluz was fat and slovenly, and Vrill was a bit hyper, trying to motivate his friend.</li>
<li>Vrill developed somewhat faster than Shiram or Queenie did, in part just due to his breeding, but mostly due to the fact that from a young age, the experience babysitter, Trooper, was managing his development. Melaka's also contributed, regularly racing him.</li>
<li>The young Sandile has met all of the rest of Melaka's pokémon at least once (except for Brownie), but none of them have interacted very much with him other than his sitter and the two other former babies. A number of them find his activeness cute.</li>
<li>Favorite Teammates: Trooper (not very close to anyone else)</li>
<li>Least Favorite Teammates: N/A (too young to know too many others)</li></ul>

The youngest of the Duku Duku Squad, Dokudoku has the curious body shape of a more spade like tail than a drill like one, like the typical dunsparce. She's no real slower with drilling a result, but she accomplishes it differently. Quirky, but a generous soul, she had a deep passion for helping people and for vigorously devouring as much curry as she can get her jaws around. She does have a tendency to overwork herself.

Pre-9/27

Dokudoku, with a yellow cape with a blue inner side, is the youngest of all of the Dunsparce Squad, having a generous soul that makes it want to go all out for those that it's trying to help. She can be a workaholic in the sense that once she's got her mind on a job, she never wants to stop.  Unlike the other Dunsparce, Doku's tail on the inner side is flat. It doesn't doesn't affect her drilling technique at all and actually helps in allowing her to slam her tail hard against the ground. She's had the gift of controlling Stealth Rock since she was young.

She absolutely loves curry. She's never had curry out in the wild, but one mouthful will re-energise her like an energy drink -- all the power in the world before she crashes to a halt. However, get her too worked up and she'll show a obliviously mean and pushy side pertaining to her workaholic side. Don't let her do what she wants and she'll cause a ruckus over it.

How she exactly got to the Tropical Island, and how long she's been there for, is a mystery....

Marina is an artist. Or at least fancies herself as being one - an artist in a primal sense which no one seems to understand - including most of her other teammates. Still, in order to work through the creative process, she needs to go out into the Wilderness and slash, smash, and otherwise brutalize rocks into "beautiful statues." Guide happens to finds her dreams of being famous for that work delicious.

As a Rattata, Nora did not have a lot of power - her aspirations of biting though everything were just comical pipe dreams. Now, though, she's trained up, evolved, and if living with Guide, who has tempered her dream in such a way to make it delicious. A vicious and hotblooded rodent, she cemented her new authority by cracking one of the metal plates in Tiny's armor. She wants to be relied on and knows she can be.

Guide doesn't like to walk on the ground, he likes to float around despite being a big and robust creature, particularly now that he's evolved. Able to hypnotize people, eat their dreams, and mold dreams so they are the most delicious to him, he's always been a little bit creepy with only one foot in the real world. Melaka has been trying to train him to be more physical lately, but only to mixed results.

Vale is a young and shy creature who wants something more - he wants to known as someone special, someone unique, and someone both as beautiful as he knows he is and as tough as he knows he can be! But... he also hasn't really figured out his path as to how he'll do that. Right now, he's both learning to battle and learning to sing, he'll figure out.

Lives In: Melaka's Apartment

Melaka met Deeter when all the Delibirds were infiltrating Union with gifts around the time of Salvation. Unfortunately, they met under tragic circumstances. Deeter had been caught on something, pulled hard, and eventually, to get free, he lost the majority of his sac-like tale. A leper now by the standards of Delibirds, Melaka has sworn to help him recover or find a new purpose, because she feels bad for the guy.
