During his journey through Orre to find Lucas, Jeremiah came across a little baby Spearow with an injured wing. That injured Spearow was protecting a slightly younger and, also injured, Growlithe pup. Not having the heart to just abandon them, or "put them out of their misery" Jeremiah took the baby bird and puppy to a Pokemon Center to be taken care of. With both Pokemon being too young to really be on their own, he took on the responsibility of raising both of them. Jeremiah claims he plans to release them when they're is old enough to take care of themselves, but many have their doubts. Especially since his collection of Pokemon has expanded after that point.
Jack is the kind of little bird who seems to think he's the size of a Fearow already. He gives Jerry plenty to worry about with his inquisitive nature, constantly heading off to inspect the world around him. He has no issues challenging other Pokemon he comes across to battles, even if he's a bit young for competitive play. When not causing trouble in that way, Jack takes his time to make sure his caretaker and Flash are aware of the self-declared pecking order. From the position of least power, to the position of most power it goes Flash, Jerry, and then Jack. The means of reminding his pets that he's on top typically are using them as beds, perches, and demanding food or things from them. Jeremiah doesn't seem to be aware of his Spearow's complex, but that doesn't seem to affect their relationship in the slight.

Flash may be younger than Jack, but that means little to the fired up pup. The young Growlithe is as hyperactive as they come, almost always ready to play with anyone willing. Being so young, he doesn't have manners mastered quite yet, but he learns quickly. He's found a way to destroy several pairs of Jerry's socks and has a habit of making toys out of anything that may have been left laying on the floor, much to Jeremiah's disdain. Lovable but troublesome, while he's a handful, Flash is quite the little charmer and makes use of his cuteness to get out of trouble.

Using its psychic power is such a strain on its brain that Abra sleeps for eighteen hours a day. Even while asleep, it maintains a telepathic radar that can sense the presence of foes. In such a situation, this Pokémon immediately teleports to safety. Even when awake, it teleports itself while remaining seated.
A Pokemon gifted to him by one of the Interpol agents of the Johto sector, Jerry hadn't initially wanted the Psychic type, but after an incident in which the Abra teleported him out of harm's way, he quickly got over his previous hesitation. Though, Jerry's fairly certain it was more of the Pokemon's instinctive drive to teleport away when sensing danger and he just accidentally got pulled along with it, it's hard to tell with Kanunu sleeping all the time whether that is true or not.
With sleeping eighteen hours a day being crucial to an Abra's psychic development, Kanunu is almost always seen sleeping. During the very few hours this Pokemon is actually awake, he is usually seen in Jerry's lap with a book in one paw and a snack in the other. He also likes to act as a link between Lucas and Jerry, sometimes transferring their thoughts to-and-fro like a telephone for the duo as a means to practice his telepathic powers. The time he is awake is the time the house is usually the quietest because words are literally not needed with him around. Since he sleeps so much and does very little talking despite his extensive telepathy usage, not much of his personality is really known besides the fact that he is rather stubborn and a creature of habit.
When asleep, he seems to always have one chair in the Courtwater-Burton household he will fall asleep in. If anyone attempts to move him, he will instinctively teleport right back to his chair of choice once set down anywhere else. Any time Jerry has to leave Lucas alone in the house is the only time Kanunu will allow himself to be moved from his chair. When Lucas is left home alone, Kanunu will typically be rather close by as a means of comfort and defense - though with Lucas's own Pokemon team, he's not usually needed.

There is an orb inside its mouth. It emits cries by agitating an orb at the back of its throat. It moves with flouncing hops. When it hops, the orb bounces all over and makes a ringing sound. It emits high-frequency cries that people can't hear, some of which can be deafening. Once it starts, it can cry for an awfully long time.
A Christmas enthusiast much like Lucas and Jerry, this little bell almost literally dropped in their laps whilst Jerry was caroling in an improptu sled ride through Iceburgh. With one exciting marathon of Christmas tunes, she was hooked and eagerly followed the two home - which was no surprise to either Lucas or Jerry because they could hear every step she made courtesy of the orb in her mouth constantly ringing.
Belle is a little ball of fun and enthusiasm. She's always ready to start a party, especially a Christmas party. However, since every day can't be a party, and there are days Lucas and Jerry need peace and quiet, Belle pretty much lives in the storage area of their home. With a little hint of mischief, anyone who enters the storage area may not actually see Belle right away as she may hide herself. Those who dare enter will become targets for the little bell-like Pokemon and she will try to sneak up on everyone. But, unfortunately, every step she makes lets out a loud ring that gives her away every time. Jerry just likes to pretend she surprises him every time for her own sake. In the storage she lives in, Belle enjoys playing with the Christmas decorations like they're toys, putting on fashion shows with tinsel, and decorating and redecorating the artificial pine tree they have set up in there. Every day is literally Christmas for her.
( While Belle is referred to as female, and will be treated as such for any future breedings, in reality, her true gender is unknown. )

Slowpoke uses its tail to catch prey by dipping it in water at the side of a river. However, this Pokémon often forgets what it's doing and often spends entire days just loafing at water's edge. Although slow, it is skilled at fishing with its tail. It does not feel pain if its tail is bitten. It is always vacantly lost in thought, but no one knows what it is thinking about. Incredibly slow and dopey, it takes 5 seconds for it to feel pain when under attack. A sweet sap leaks from its tail's tip. Although not nutritious, the tail is pleasant to chew on.

Instead of blood, a powerful magnetic force courses throughout Beldum's body. This Pokémon communicates with others by sending controlled pulses of magnetism. All the cells in its body are magnetic. The magnetic force generated by its body repels the ground's natural magnetism, letting it float. When it sleeps, this Pokémon anchors itself to a cliff using the hooks on its rear. When Beldum gather in a swarm, they move in perfect unison as if they were but one Pokémon. They communicate with each other using magnetic pulses.

Through crushingly harsh yoga training, it gained the power to foretell its foe's actions. It battles with elegant, dance-like movement. It elegantly avoids attacks with dance-like steps, then launches a devastating blow in the same motion.

Using the horn on its head, Ralts has the ability to sense the emotions of people. If its horns capture the warm feelings of people or Pokémon, its body warms up slightly. If its trainer is in a cheerful mood, this Pokémon grows cheerful and joyous in the same way. It takes cover if it senses any hostility.

It uses psychic power to control an opponent's brain and tamper with its memories. Apparently, it communicates by flashing its three fingers, but those patterns haven't been decoded.
Once belonging to Jared Burton, the infamous insane sadist himself, and the actual Pokemon that had altered Lucas Courtwater's memories - resulting in his prior "illness", Mnemosyne (Nemo) is rarely seen outside of her pokeball unlike the majority of Jerry's Pokemon. For obvious reasons, the boys don't feel comfortable with such a powerful Pokemon lingering freely around their house and it is only after Lucas has gone to bed that Jerry bothers to have the decency to let her out and stretch. While he is not too terribly fond of the Pokemon, he understands he can't keep her locked up forever, even with the grief her abilities have caused. Despite her prior owner, she seems to be a rather gentle and timid soul through and through. Obedient, yet distant, Nemo is so withdrawn from others it has come to the point the lights on the ends of her fingers are very rarely - if ever - seen flickering. She has clearly suffered her own unfair share of trauma at the hands of Jared, but as she is gradually let out more and more in Jerry's company, it seems she's begun to steadily come out of her shell. It's just a matter of waiting for Jerry and Lucas to be able to feel safe around her again.

Forty years ago, Lunatone was discovered at a location where a meteorite fell. As a result, some people theorize that this Pokémon came from space. However, no one has been able to prove this theory so far. Lunatone becomes active around the time of the full moon. Its health ebbs and flows with the lunar cycle. It brims with power when exposed to the light of the full moon. Instead of walking, it moves by floating in midair using telekinesis. The Pokémon's intimidating red eyes cause all those who see it to become transfixed with fear.

A Pokémon that was formed by 108 spirits. It is bound to a fissure in an Odd Keystone as punishment for misdeeds 500 years ago.
A malevolent Pokémon Jerry came across in an abandoned Ranger’s station; not many are able to believe the simple fact that Jerry does not technically own Nexus. She does not have a pokeball, or Safari Ball, in fact the only container she has is her Odd Keystone.
Nexus was the leading cause in a significant drop of Pokémon populations within her section of the Safari Zone right up until the Rangers managed to find her and seal her away from the other Pokemon. With a history of nothing but bloodshed and suffering, one might wonder how Jerry is able to keep her contained and under control without a pokéball. It’s a simple case of Jerry having been able to see and understand something about her that no one else could. With more than a hundred souls in her core constantly screaming and crying out for salvation, Nexus is not so much a cruel being as she is desperate to find peace. At first, the slaughter of other Pokémon had managed to quell the storm inside, but after each death, she’d be plagued by guilt like a withdrawal and only suffer further.
Angry and frustrated, she lashed out at the world and was seemingly all alone. No Ranger was able to understand why she lashed out so harshly, why her fellow Spiritombs were so cruel, and in turn Nexus came to grow cold and distant from most everyone... Up until the day in which Jerry came out of nowhere with a deal. All she had to do was stop hurting others, and he would do anything and everything within his power to help free every spirit sealed within her Odd Keystone. While reluctant at first, he did prose that she had nothing to lose. With no pokeball to keep her bound to the boy, and he had managed to catch her interest in the way he had treated her, Nexus agreed to go with him so he could aid her quest for salvation.

Haunter is a dangerous Pokémon. If one beckons you while floating in darkness, you must never approach it. This Pokémon will try to lick you with its tongue and steal your life away. Its tongue is made of gas. If licked, its victim starts shaking constantly until death eventually comes. If you trip and fall for no apparent reason or hear a sound when no one is around, it may be a Haunter. In total darkness, where nothing is visible, Haunter lurks, silently stalking its next victim. If you get the feeling of being watched in darkness when nobody is around, Haunter is there. Because of its ability to slip through block walls, it is said to be from another dimension.

Sableye lead quiet lives deep inside caverns. They are feared, however, because these Pokémon are thought to steal the spirits of people when their eyes burn with a sinister glow in the darkness. A Sableye lurks in darkness and is seen only rarely. Sableye digs the ground with sharpened claws to find rocks that it eats. It digs branching holes in caves using its sharp claws in search of food—raw gems. Substances in the eaten rocks crystallize and rise up to the Pokémon's body surface.

Duskull can pass through any wall no matter how thick it may be. Once this Pokémon chooses a target, it will doggedly pursue the intended victim until the break of dawn. Duskull wanders lost among the deep darkness of midnight. There is an oft-told admonishment given to misbehaving children that this Pokémon will spirit away bad children who earn scoldings from their mothers. It loves the crying of children. It startles bad kids by passing through walls and making them cry. A glare from its single scarlet eye makes even burly grown-ups freeze in utter fear. It is a nocturnal Pokémon that roams about under the cloak of darkness. Making itself invisible, it silently sneaks up to prey.
A troublesome Pokemon sent to Jerry after she began spooking local children rather frequently, Jerry was surprised to find that this Pokemon had a rather motherly nature. She was fond of his younger Pokemon and even took to trying to take care of him, only seeming to get troublesome or mischievous after Jerry would cause trouble some way or another.
