I’d love to hear about professor Greys team! you mention them on occasion, would like to know more about them. Does Grey have something he specializes in?

For sure! Professor Grey is my partner, both in life and work, and he specialises in high energy species, such as fighting types, and held items! He’s a guy with a lot of energy, and runs many sports events for the pokemon on the island, to keep everyone social, happy and fit. He will crack ALL the dad jokes. 

Greys work led him to initially creating prosthetics for pokemon who have lost parts during battle or due to genetics. He had caught a docile Gyarados at the start of his journey who had no tail, and was forces on land, unable to swim correctly with its own kind. The missing tail spurred his first creation, and now that same water pokemon lives in the largest lake on our island, and is very sweet, able to swim, battle, and live her life to the fullest! Grey uses her often when visitors come by with preconceived notions about the species, as she’s very happy with strangers, comfortable with other pokemon, and not at all hostile like the dex likes to mention.

After the build of the new tail, he focused on items in general, he can forge blades, 3D print parts and limbs, and form new and unregistered held items for his team mates and those who come to him with a need for specialised equipment. His study has made him capable of creating held items that a pokeball will recognise and take in, as a lot of things aren't able to be ‘returned’ to the capture units. 

Currently he’s been tinkering with the pokeballs themselevs, unsatisfied with the state of stasis the pokemon within are held in, he’s been generating dream like states with code, so the pokemon has enrichment while within their pokeballs. It’s still a work in progress, but theres a lot of headway being made in the topic, and he’s slowly building more diverse and immersive worlds for pokemon within the balls. 

When he’s not working, its either high energy sports, or he’ll take to the water. He loves it out there, and being on an island, he has a lot of chances to ride waves with one of the many water pokemon. since meeting him, he’s become fond of Bonsai keeping, his one truly calm activity, and tends to them in a quiet corner on slow days.

His main team mix with mine a lot, we've been together so long now, they're kind of all one big team/family, but those registered to him as his main party include:

Garchomp - Ginseng ( A friendly, loving dude, with a lot of personlaity)

Lucario - Gai (A energetic and perhaps over enthusiastic, hyper-positive Pokemon)

Houndoom - Saxon (docile in his old age, but certainly not complacent)

Cubone - Harley (his oldest pokemon, a grouch, but quite adaptive!)

Aside from those three, he’s got a handful of Charizard, used for forging and Rocket defence around the island in the skies, and his years of travel have led him to keeping a lot of Gyarados aside from the one without the tail, that travel in a pod along our coastline, keeping the waters safe from invading boats and subs. He loves Relicanth, and so weve ended up taking in quite a few of those, seeing as we have the waters for them, its a good fit for him. 

In the above image, technically Pam, Andy and Olly, Zeke, Jo, Harley and Vladimir are all his pokemon, and they do have respective blurb about them on the blog.

Theres an old Scyther that hangs about in his bonsai area, a Carracosta that chills in the pond out behind our house, and a Nidoking that is very sweet and handles a lot of the baby water pokemon who come to us with no parents. Grey’s recently found a Sawsbuck that came in with a dodgy spine, a few surgeries and its on the mend but the two bonded, and i doubt it’ll leave after its recovery, we have a few of them around, it could easily enjoy a life with its own kind, with Grey, and in a safe environment. Oh, theres a very young Dieno thats imprinted to him quite recently, no name as of yet, and he’s got a messenger Talonflame that comes and goes with notes if the phone signals dodgy, which is pretty often, our island hasn't got the best connection.

Most individuals he’s worked with in the lab will end up adoring the guy, he’s a ray of sunshine, especially next to me, and often a pokemon who he’s aided will return to him many times, for company and to offer help should he need it. He’s like a bright light, things just kind of flock to him, they get his good intentions.

He’s a bit like me, we’ve released a lot of partners over the years to allow them to go off and have a life of their own, and so whats left behind is usually for work, or bonded for life. 

He’s very much the opposite to me, but together we make a complete picture, and the labs work smoothly when we’re both around.
