#i dont care if staraptor is his ace

[devilmeows]

part 2!

Chantelle:

not even a trainer. like, she has Pokémon, but she doesn't do Pokémon battles. she'll Occasionally battle her son, but that's it

her Pokémon are Quagsire, Whiscash and Absol

born and raised and still lives in Pastoria but near the edges of the city. she likes the swamps and dislikes activity

her kid mentioned that he liked Piplup once. she remembered that and proceeded to do everything she could to get him a Piplup. i havent thought about how exactly Sinnoh kids get starter Pokémon from Professor Rowan, but whatever paperwork it is they need, Chantelle did it and would have personally fought the professor if he hadn't accepted. Arwin then got a Piplup :)

she met Furie while on vacation at the Valor Lakefront Resort. they caught each other's eye, and got to know each other, and Chantelle decided to move her vacation to Sunyshore to see more of Furie - this was a little before Arwin set off on his journey, so he was a teen and able to take care of himself on his own. from then on they became friends and...something more? maybe?

Chantelle's Quagsire gets along really well with Furie's Gliscor

Furie:

a pretty good trainer, beat the Champion in her home region in her youth. still battles in her spare time

originally from Hoenn, now lives in Sunyshore where it's warm. considering moving to Pastoria

her team is still a WIP, but is made of Staraptor, Blaziken (starter), Aggron and Gliscor. while Blaziken is her starter, her ace is Staraptor

Staraptor is the Pokémon that got injured in the accident that landed Chantelle in the hospital and caused Arwin to stop his Pokémon journey. the details of the accident are still unclear but she did not cause it and she tried to protect Chantelle

Jade:

Jade is not a Pokémon trainer, but she does enjoy taking part in contests once in a while. all the attention is exhausting though so she doesn't do it often

is from Sinnoh, but her family lived on an island off the coast of Sinnoh isolating from the rest of the world. Jade escaped and lived in Canalave for a while, then Floaroma, which is where she met Ryden when he came home from his Pokémon journey a few weeks after Arwin left. she now lives in Hearthome

her team is still a WIP, but it's made of Crobat, Swoobat and Aromatisse. can you tell she's a vampire in canonverse

she often goes for strolls at Amity Park with her Pokémon :)

Avis:

they're a regular trainer and a. contester? they do contests too

born in Hoenn and lives in Slateport. often travels to Sinnoh for contest reasons (and also for Ryden reasons)

Avis and Ryden met when Ryden was on vacation in Slateport with his dads after he came home from his journey: he had taken part in a contest for fun and caught Avis' eye. they chatted and got along and kept in contact after Ryden went home, Avis visited, they started dating...and then Ryden broke up with them and they still haven't gotten over it

i have no idea what Pokémon they have. havent decided. probably Pokémon that look nice but are actually kind of deceptive, or pretty. maybe Mawile or Milotic. i dont know

been thinking about my ocs' pokemon au so hi. i am making a post about it

Ryden:

last member of the Sinnoh Elite 4 - assumed the position after Bertha retired, then the order was shuffled around for him to come last after Lucian

he and Lucian get along pretty well :)

his team doesn't have a clear type majority, but he does have 3 dark-types

his team is made of Mona (F-Meowstic, starter), Noivern, Salazzle, Obstagoon, Meowscarada and Weavile (only Mona has a name so far, but the others have names as well. just havent found them yet lol)

he lives in Sunyshore with his girlfriend Anathema :) it's close to the league and it's the warmest city in Sinnoh which is important for his Salazzle

speaking of, he found his Salazzle as a Salandit as he and his friend Arwin were helping with investigating into an illegal breeder: they found out he was breeding Salandit, and by the time the breeder got arrested the Salandit were no longer fit for living in their natural habitat or in most of Sinnoh. Ryden boxes her/leaves her at home when he goes to Snowpoint

his exact origins are unknown, but he was found by Louvain in Kalos, and he lived there for a few years before the Forna family moved to Sinnoh

Anathema:

just a trainer. Doesn't really have the same ambitions as their girlfriend, and is content with where they are right now

lives in Sunyshore with their girlfriend Ryden :) works as a mechanic there

their team is made of Roxie (Honchkrow, starter), Mienshao, Glaceon, Ninetales, Hisuian Zoroark and Gastrodon (East) (like Ryden, they all have names, i just havent found them yet)

they found their H-Zoroark as a Zorua near Lake Acuity - I headcanon that after the whole Distortion World stuff from Platinum, Sinnoh has experienced space-time distortions much like those in PLA. However, the Pokémon that emerge from them usually die within a few hours if not found. This specific Zorua got lucky that Ana was passing by

originally from Kalos, and a former member of Team Flare because of their parents. They escaped after blowing up one of their most important labs and they were found severely injured by Ryden in the streets of Lumiose City

they continue to dye part of their hair orange despite this. They just think the colour looks neat, and they look different enough now that anyone who might wish them harm wouldn't recognise them

actually the "they dont have nicknames in this post, but all of their pokémon do have nicknames" applies to everyone. gonna stop adding it now

Louvain:

also just a trainer. he's actually pretty tough but he doesn't really bother fighting. he's a dad he's past his youthful days of fighting all the time

lives in Floaroma with his husband Lucius :)

originally from Kalos, where his family has lived for generations. they did, however, die in a house fire a few years after Lucius came into his life, which is partly what prompted the move to Sinnoh after little Ryden entered the picture

his team is likely incomplete for now, but is made of Lycanroc (midnight), Lycanroc (dusk), and Delphox (starter). is it obvious that he's a werewolf in canonverse

he works at the Floaroma Community Centre and has entertained the thought of opening a bar there because he has an interest in mixology. Floaroma isn't exactly the target demographic for a bar though, so he settles for making cocktails at home for fun

travels a lot because of whatever it is that his family did/some other reason that is unclear as of now

Lucius:

also also just a trainer. just like his husband, he's actually pretty tough, but he doesn't like Pokémon battles, so he avoids them as much as possible

lives in Floaroma with her husband Louvain :)

they're the one who suggested Floaroma when the Forna family moved to Sinnoh, mainly because they like gardening and they thought the generally relaxing atmosphere of the town would benefit their husband and their kid

originally from Unova, and a former member of Team Plasma. he joined it because...lore unclear for now. He/his parents worked at a shelter and Lucius saw a lot of mistreated Pokémon, which made him more enclined to listen to Team Plasma and believe in their ideals, but then he realised it was all just Ghetsis wanting power before the events of BW went down and he dipped

her team is likely incomplete for now, but is made of Altaria, Decidueye, Florges and Lycanroc (day). have not determined who the starter is yet

finds it funny that one of Ryden's coworkers is named Lucian

Arwin:

one of the Sinnoh region's top trainers. considered becoming a gym leader, but his team isn't uniform enough for that

born and raised in Pastoria. currently lives in Veilstone

avoids cities that are too close to the Coronet mountain range because they're cold as balls

his team is made of Empoleon (starter), Garchomp, Dragalge, Eelektross, Togekiss and Basculegion (female)

they obtained their Basculegion in the same way that Ana got their Zoroark: on a walk around Lake Acuity because their Empoleon wanted a swim. space-time distortion happened. they kept the funny fish

Arwin and Ryden met as kids on the beach near Pastoria: Arwin was surprised that younger-than-10 Ryden already had a Pokémon. They became friends and remained friends and set out on their Pokémon journey together many years later. They dated during that, but Arwin broke up with Ryden and shortly after he had to go home because his mother Chantelle was in an accident

the accident didn't kill Chantelle, she was fine after a few days, but it was an extremely stressful time for Arwin, and he blames Furie for it: she was there when it happened, her Staraptor was also injured, and Arwin interpreted that as her being the cause of the accident. He hates her as a result (she wasn't actually to blame)

will do everyone else: Later!

also lore is subject to change if i feel like changing it
