WARFARE'S STRENGTH Fire, Steel, Fighting
Species: (Machamp) Name: Bruno Gender: Male Ability: Guts - If this Pokémon has a non-volatile status condition except Freeze, the Attack stat is increased by 50%. In addition, the attack drop from Burn does not occur. Moveset: Cross Chop, Bullet Punch, Rock Slide, Ice Punch, Dig, Focus Blast, Bulk Up, Light Screen, Double Team, Wide Guard Personality:
{Click}Alfa, now a Machamp, still hasn't changed significantly. He has the pride of a bodybuilder who has attained the strength desired, but still works not only for the sake of himself as to not lose the strength he's worked so hard for, but also works for the sake of his team in order to protect them and be of use. As always, he still thinks himself a ladies man, and still likes to show off by flexing and the occasional wink at the ladies, but still, he keeps it to a minimum as possible for the sake of Vesta (equal parts fear and respect) and his team. He is as loyal as ever to his team, and a large part of his work ethic is in their and their leader's name. He still loves to fight, partly because it's a chance to show off, but also because it's plain fun, though he still acts smart about it. He realizes how Zwei, now his partner, has something of rival feelings towards him, though he returns the emotions with respect and gusto. Also something to note, Alfa is slightly taller than a normal Machamp at 6 feet even.
Species: Name: Ludwig Gender: Male Ability: Rock Head - This Pokémon does not take recoil damage. Moveset: Earthquake, Iron Tail, Dig, Flash Cannon, Double Edge, Rock Slide, Smack Down, Rock Polish, Magnet Rise, Sandstorm Personality:
{Click}Zwei, originally owned (and named) by Saber, the alter ego of Sable, is a powerful Pokémon now lead by Vesta. Much like other Steelix, Zwei is not afraid of his own power; he often does very little to stem his destructive side effects. He is a Pokémon built for power, built for intimidation, and both him and his trainer know it, using it to full effect. With that said, he is as loyal as any soldier and knows how to hold himself back to a degree on order, even if he more enjoys showing his power and relishing in an opponent's sense of personal doom, whenever that is applicable. In this sense, he can be somewhat overconfident in his size and power, something that Vesta doesn't tolerate. Additionally, Zwei seems to have some sort of rivalry/grudge with Alfa, the memory of their first fight in the warehouse still in his mind, though at the same time he grudgingly respects him.
Species: (Combusken) Name: Snowblaze Gender: Male Ability: Blaze - This Pokémon's Fire-type moves are increased in power by half if it has a third of its health or less. Moveset: Brick Break, Fire Pledge, Thunder Punch, Quick Attack, Bulk Up, Focus Energy, Baton Pass Personality:
{Click}Snowblaze is a calm and controlled Pokémon, unlike Marsh, who he has a sort of brotherly bond with. Intelligent and attentive. Has a tendency to be exact, literal, and very pinpoint due to his talent of spotting weak points. Has a bit of sass and wit to him but generally stays in quiet amusement. A bit pensive, especially concerning ice and snow, due to his coloration.
{Click}Sable's old Lucario. Strong-willed with leadership qualities and a moral compass. Loves Vesta deeply after she brought him out of depression and self-hatred with help and has become something of a hugger with her. Often meditates in his free time and has a weakness for chocolate. Taller than most Lucario at 4'11". Wears his Lucarionite hanging from a collar like dog tags.
Species: (Metang) Name: Network Gender: N/A Ability: Clear Body - This Pokémon's stats cannot be lowered by an enemy. Moveset: Psychic, Bullet Punch, Rock Slide, Telekinesis, Miracle Eye, Magnet Rise Personality:
{Final Moveset}Psychic, Bullet Punch, Earthquake, Rock Slide, Hammer Arm, Magnet Rise, Miracle Eye, Agility, Telekinesis, Psych Up
Species: (Chimchar) Name: Mina Gender: Female Ability: Blaze - This Pokémon's Fire-type moves are increased in power by half if it has a third of its health or less. Moveset: Fire Spin, Torment, Encore, Helping Hand Personality:

NATURE'S FLOW Water, Grass, Ground
Species: Name: Evergreen Gender: Male Ability: Snow Warning - Upon being sent out, the weather is changed to Hail for five (5) turns. Moveset: Frost Breath, Blizzard, Giga Drain, Water Pulse, Brick Break, Rock Slide, Grass Whistle, Mist, Hail, Light Screen Personality:
{Click}Son of Grigoriy, one might expect Evergreen to be boisterous and jolly like his father, but, as it turns out, the apple falls rather far from the tree. Hotel is quite unlike his father; quiet and contemplative, he often prefers his free time, spending it either fondly thinking of or looking at icy terrains or ice sculpting. He doesn't have as much as a taste for it as others, but he is more than capable of battle, and in some instances can be just as fierce as his blood. Wears his Abomasite as an armband hidden under his fur on his right arm.
Species: (Turtwig) Name: Bradley Gender: Male (UNBREEDABLE) Ability: Overgrow - This Pokémon's Grass-type moves are increased in power by half if it has a third of its health or less. Moveset: Crunch, Giga Drain, Grass Pledge, Amnesia, Grassy Terrain, Leech Seed Personality:
{Click}Generally a grumpy old man with a battle style to match his attitude. Preferrs to stay alone and graze or tend to flowers, though tends to hide his like for them. Secretly loves children and young Pokémon as well.
Species: (Skiddo) Name: Ryder Gender: Female Ability: Sap Sipper - If this Pokémon is hit with a Grass-type move, the move will have no effect and its Attack will increase by one (1) stage. Moveset: Horn Leech, Vine Whip, Bulk Up, Leech Seed Personality:
Species: (Piplup) Name: Jarvis Gender: Male Ability: Torrent - This Pokémon's Water-type moves are increased in power by half if it has a third of its health or less. Moveset: Water Pledge, Peck, Agility, Aqua Ring Personality:
{Final Moveset}Surf, Water Pledge, Aqua Jet, Steel Wing, Rock Slide, Aerial Ace, Agility, Swords Dance, Iron Defense, Aqua Ring
Species: (Frogadier) Name: Shinobi Gender: Male Ability: Torrent - This Pokémon's Water-type moves are increased in power by half if it has a third of its health or less. Moveset: Water Pulse, Quick Attack, Smack Down, Bounce, Lick, Camouflage, Toxic Spikes, Mind Reader Personality:

METAPHYSICAL ALIGNMENT Psychic, Dark, Ghost
Species: (Mightyena) Name: Oscar Gender: Male Ability: Intimidate - Lowers opponent's Attack by one (1) upon switch-in. Moveset: Crunch, Sucker Punch, Dig, Super Fang, Iron Tail, Snarl, Dark Pulse, Odor Sleuth, Sand-Attack, Roar Personality:
{Click}Upon evolution, Oscar has changed very little from all of his years with Vesta. He is an incredible dog; well-trained and unfathomably loyal, he has perfect obedience to his trainer, obeying any order without question. With a snap of the finger, Oscar can immediately turn into a vicious monster, growling and baring his teeth and attacking whatever target Vesta commands him with intent to seriously hurt or even kill them if necessary. He is just as serious as his owner, and never even thinks of doing something without her order unless he knows its for her good. That doesn't mean that he isn't capable of kindness; he's capable of anything Vesta is capable of. He's also one of the more protective of her team; with his impressive nose (further powered by Odor Sleuth) and his trained hearing, he is often the first to detect or suspect danger, and with him almost always on guard, Vesta keeps him as one of her closest companions.
Species: (Weavile) Name: Valére Gender: Male Ability: Pressure - If this Pokémon is hit by a move with 80 base power or more, the move is Disabled for the rest of the battle. Moveset: Night Slash, Ice Shard, Blizzard, Brick Break, Quick Attack, Agility, Nasty Plot, Double Team, Hail, Screech Personality:
{Click}Zulu has grown a bit since he first joined Vesta's team. He isn't so much of a cold-hearted prick willing to murder; he had his chance to kill and took it, but discovered that he wasn't entirely up to his tastes. Instead he's shifted to be a more punkish kid sort of guy; he frequently uses his trainer's PokéGear for its music function (with earbuds, of course, as to not disturb her) and he's become rather rebellious, getting earrings without his trainer's consent and even being one of the few Pokémon to not listen to Vesta's orders the first time unless they personally interest him. He still views Vesta with high regard, but he's arguably going through his teenager phase.
Species: Name: Night Gender: Female Ability: Prankster - Status moves used by this Pokémon have their priority increased by one (1). Moveset: Shadow Sneak, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Thunder Punch, Fake Out, Will-O-Wisp, Recover, Double Team, Telekinesis, Mean Look Personality:
{Click}Night could be described as cowardly. Indeed, she is a meek girl, unsure of herself and her skills, and subsequently, tries to avoid conflict in any shape or form. However, despite viewing herself as weak, she is a very kind and loyal individual, more than willing to do work and even battle to the best of her ability if asked. While she is shy and lacks self-confidence, she is a very kind and generous soul, much unlike Pokémon typical of her species. Wears her Sablenite as a hanging earring on her left ear.

SURVIVAL'S COURAGE Bug, Poison, Flying
Species: (Skorupi) Name: Victoria Gender: Female Ability: Battle Armor - This Pokémon is immune to critical hits. Moveset: Crunch, Agility, Screech, Toxic Spikes Personality:
Species: (Larvesta) Name: Sierra Gender: Female Ability: Flame Body - If this Pokémon is hit by a move that makes contact, there is a 30% chance the attacker will be Burned. Moveset: Bug Buzz, Flame Charge, Leech Life, String Shot Personality:
{Click}Piper is just what you'd expect from a Combee; a bustling little busybody always working to develop and gather honey for her queen, which just so happens to be, in Piper's eyes, Vesta. She's always working hard, of course, but doing so with a smile, and while she does her job nearly every waking hour, and well, she is a very kind and caring girl that is more than happy to share with friends, or even random people or Pokémon that want or need it... at least so long as it doesn't hurt the Royal Collection too much, but if that were the case, she'd still try to cheer them up.
{Click}Sky is not atypical of her species. Now that she has evolved, she is quite joyous... for a dragon, at least. Even the concept of flight gives Sky both peace and excitement, and practice even moreso. Still, she recognized all of the agonizingly hard work she did to finally attain her dream, which has turned her into a somewhat motherly character; she now feels a certain need to help the youthful and dream-filled. However, mistaking her peaceful and kind endeavors as weakness can be a lethal mistake; she is just as fierce and powerful as any other dragon and has absolutely no qualms in hiding it.
Species: (Swinub) Name: Permafrost Gender: Female Ability: Snow Cloak - If the weather is Hail, this Pokémon's evasion is increased by 25%. Moveset: Icicle Crash, Ice Shard, Amnesia, Stealth Rock Personality:
Species: (Pichu) Name: Volt Gender: Male Ability: Lightning Rod - All single-target Electric-type attacks are redirected to this Pokémon. Additionally, it is immune to Electric-type moves, and if struck by one, raises its Special Attack by one (1) stage. Moveset: Thunder Shock, Nasty Plot, Thunder Wave, Sweet Kiss Personality:
{Click}Volt fancies himself a hero in the making, but in actuality, he's really more of a troublemaker. His sense of curiosity and child-like adventurous spirit leads him to be quite a youthful and energetic Pokémon, easily distracted and quite likely getting into trouble when Vesta doesn't have a metaphorical leash on him. Often times he brings his younger twin sister with him whether she wants to or not.
Species: (Pichu) Name: Strawberry Gender: Female Ability: Static - If hit by a contact move, there is a 30% chance the opponent will be Paralyzed. Can effect Ground-types. Moveset: Thunder Shock, Nasty Plot, Thunder Wave, Sweet Kiss Personality:
{Click}Sweeter and meeker than her twin, and arguably with a stronger moral compass, Strawberry has more of a habit of helping to clean and cook. At the same time she does have a strong curiosity and adventurous spirit like her brother, although when she explores these traits the trouble she causes, rarely, tend to be accidental and less troublesome than her brother. She often tends to apologize for her brother and facepalms at his antics, although it usually doesn't help him much.
Species: (Roggenrola) Name: Gender: Male Ability: Sturdy - This Pokémon cannot be knocked out in one hit and is immune to OHKO moves. Moveset: Stone Edge, Smack Down, Iron Defense, Sandstorm Personality:
