### Geodude (Brock)

Brock as a Pokémon.

Geodude was/is owned by the long absent gym leader of Pewter city and had taken it upon himself to defend the gym and care for the other abandoned Pokémon. After his master returned, Geodude decided to pursue his own dreams and joined Pete Ashtoo and Nidorash on their travels.

Geodude seeks to become a "human breeder" and this dream is not taken seriously because of what it entails. People are willing to play along as not to disappoint him, and he treats it as a genuine profession she should study for. He knows the human psyche better than any other Pokémon could. He also likes to flirt with female Pokémon he considers cute and can be very invasive, annoying Misty the Krabby.

At one point he decides to stay on Valencia Island to assist and care for an Ivysaur, owned by the three Pokémon professors living there. Nevertheless, he and the main crew meet again in Pallet Town after Pete's success in the Orange League, where they assume he's had an embarrassing experience with Ivysaur. It's insinuated he was in love with her, but she didn't return the feelings after he already had embarrassed himself.

Geodude looks mostly like a normal Geodude, but has squinted eyes, and the rock formation on top of his head is chipped, making it look like Brock's hair.

### Krabby (Misty)

Misty as a Pokémon.

Krabby is Nidorash's first companion and "friend", even though she was initially a stalker who demanded compensation for her stolen bike. How a Krabby is able to ride a bike and why Nidorash thought he could ride one has stayed undiscussed.

Krabby likes Nidorash's trainer, Pete, but shows little patience for Nidorash and even Geodude at times. While this is the case, she puts alot of time into helping Nidorash become a better fighter and there are a few moments in time that argue she has a crush on him.

She has three sisters, who are strangely enough Goldeens.

Krabby has asymmetric extensions on her head that look similar to Misty's hairstyle, a small jaw and aqua green eyes.

### Ditto (Tracey)

Tracey as a Pokémon.

Ditto befriended Nidorash when they both tried to help out an abused, lost child during their Orange Islands travel. He more or less replaced Brock the Geodude, who had decided to stay on Valencia Island with his crush at the time.

Ditto likes to draw and "observe humans". He prefers copying them, opposed to Pokémon, and is fairly successful at doing this. His talent proves useful at times, but as Ditto can't speak the human language, it's limited. He's a very empathetic creature and knows what is necessary in order to earn someone's trust, making him a good addition to the team.

He idolizes the intellectual team that is Professor Acorn and her Pokémon, "Professor Oak", and dreams of working for them. When the crew returns to Pallet Town, he gets accepted as their assistant and stays behind, whereafter Brock the Geodude takes back his original place.

Since Ditto has an interest for humans, he has warped his face to look like one and is the original Tracey's. He also wears a pinkish headband, and his head is shaped to look like hair. He chose to call himself a "he" as well, but as a Ditto, he's genderless.

### Mr. Giovanni

"Mr. Giovanni" is the name given to Pezhman Fārsi's Persian, resembling Giovanni.

He's a no-nonsense character who has the misfortune of being understood by the Pokémon whisperer, Mir Yusuf. He's Färsi's favourite pet and allowed to walk beside him at all times, though he's not the only one to receive his attention, as Färsi adores cats in general; thanks to Giovanni.

Their story began in the late 50s, when they were both young. He was a wild Meowth and found Färsi wounded and unable to move. Though met with prejudice, violence, and overall hostility from Färsi, he kept coming back to check on him. After finding him in a worsened state, Giovanni dragged his unconscious body to the nearest hospital.

Not long after, he witnessed Färsi getting forced inside a shady truck by kidnappers with the intent to extort his wealthy father, and Giovanni pursued the criminals to again save him. Färsi decided to adopt the homeless kitten as thanks and the two became very close. His care turned Giovanni into a valuable Persian, with a strong sense of loyalty and tolerance for his master, normally not found within the breed.

Why Giovanni had such a strong interest in him in the first place is something Färsi admitted not to know, considering the way he used to treat him.

Giovanni also receives alot of attention from Mir Yusuf, which is less appreciated by both him and his master.

When Mir rambles on to his teammates on why they should retrieve a certain Pokémon, he tends to revolve the story and reason around Giovanni only, excluding his actual boss.

He looks mostly like a normal Persian, but has the facial characteristics of the original Giovanni. When he was a Meowth, he mirrored the look of young Giovanni as portrayed in the comic "The Injured Persian" and had droopy whiskers.

### Pezhman Pārsi (Persian)

Meowth's gang leader (from "Go West, Young Meowth") as a human.

He's the leader of a hardened gang of thieves who terrorize a fancy neighbourhood in Iran. He looks nearly identical to Team Rocket's boss, as both characters are originally the same Pokémon.

He once found a young Mir Yusuf beaten up in an alleyway, moments away from starvation. He and his men fed him back to health, whereafter he joined his gang.

Unlike the character he's based on, Pezhman had an ulterior motive for keeping Mir as a friend and the two hardly shared any moments together that could've been perceived as genuine. He was an intimidating leader who sought out runts and would accept anyone without a home, as he knew helping desperate people would make them feel indebted to him.

Young members like Mir Yusuf were forced to commit especially heinous crimes and do the dirty work as to test their loyalty and usefulness. Pezhman believed mercy and doubt were fatal flaws to have on the streets, and trained newcomers hard to abandon these traits.

While it all made sense to Mir in the moment, he quickly regretted his involvement with the group and developed negative feelings towards his saviour. Pezhman never learned of these feelings and felt betrayed when Mir left the country unannounced.

Some time after Mir Yusuf left, his love interest was picked up by Pezhman's group and the two fell for each other. When Mir Yusuf returned to Iran, he planned to kill Pezhman after having learned about Marzieh's presence there. The two men ended up in a stab fight, but Pezhman was saved from the final blow thanks to Marzieh, who expressed her love for him.

Having that said, it's implied that Pezhman did not treat her the same way as he did other members, and might've toned down the usual practises as to please her.

### Marzieh Omidyar (Meowzie)

Meowzie (from "Go West, Young Meowth") as a human.

Marzieh is the wealthy daughter of an influential family and lives in a high-class neighbourhood in Iran. She has a disdain for humans, likely because of the continuous flirting she experienced from men during her lifetime. She's a huge Pokémon fan and prefers them over human company. She owns a Jynx, resembling Meowzie's owner.

When she first met Mir Yusuf, she made her love for Pokémon clear, which inspired him to go out and learn their language and behaviour. When he proudly returned to squeal and bark 150 Pokémon languages at her, she became frightened by the bizarre performance and thought he had turned mad.

She ran off, but lost her golden headdress in the process. She decided not to look for it, as she didn't want to confront Mir again.

When Marzieh's family lost their fortune and status, her Jynx abandoned her after realizing she wouldn't get pampered anymore, and Marzieh ended up on the streets with her parents. Not long afterwards, her parents believed to be better off without their demanding daughter, and left to deal with their problems on their own. Mir's old gang leader soon found her alone and invited her to join his "family".

She's treated well by the criminals and their respectful behaviour earned them her trust, though Marzieh refuses to join them in their raids. Marzieh and the gang leader were quick to develop feelings for each other, and she defended him when Mir Yusuf planned to kill him as to "save" her.

She has black hair with two ribbons tied at the top, wears a red hijab that's tied as a ribbon at the back, a pearl necklace holding a ruby, and a long beige dress.

Before her second meeting with Mir Yusuf, she also wore a headdress made out of pearls and a Meowth's amulet. She's portrayed to be somewhere in her early 20s.

### Professor Acorn

The Pokémon expert in the series, replacing Professor Oak. The character isn't based on any Pokémon or human character from the original show.

She is the one who purposely gave Pete Ashtoo the reject, Nidorash, as he was too demotivated to show up on time. She owns a Pokémon who assists her in the lab, resembling Professor Oak. She call him by the same name.

Professor Acorn herself looks like a genderbent Oak.

### Professor Oak

Professor Oak as a Pokémon. He is portrayed as a Nidoking.

He is owned by Professor Acorn and surprisingly kind and intelligent, especially considering he's a Nidoking. She treats him as an equal and both form a famous intellectual research duo.

### Nidorinoak (Gary Oak)

Gary Oak as a Nidorino.

He is the childhood rival of Nidorash and seemingly better than him in every way. Even back when he was a young, wild Nidoran, he was extremely strong, and this in combination with the praise he constantly received turned him narcissistic.

He was one of the starter Pokémon at Professor Acorn's laboratory and chosen by the most talented trainer in Pallet Town. He won many badges soon after starting his journey. Every time Nidorash meets up with him, he's accompanied by a different trainer, insinuating Nidorinoak keeps abandoning his master for someone "better".

His grandfather is the well-known "Professor Oak".

Nidorinoak has Gary Oak's face, and the spikes on his back resemble his hair. He wears the same necklace the original does, though it's not established who gave it to him and for what purpose.

### Professor Ivysaur (Professor Ivy)

Professor Ivy as a Pokémon.

She is owned by the three professors living on Valencia Island, and is a hard-working, caring creature. She is willing to put herself in danger for others, and this in combination with the team's overall lack of care for themselves inspired Brock the Geodude to stay behind and look after them.

He had a crush on Ivysaur, but something happened between the two that urged him to leave some time later.

Ivysaur's owners are good friends with Professor Acorn and are the ones who gave her the title of "professor", like Acorn did with her Nidoking, though it's meant to be a cute nickname.

Ivysaur looks mostly like a normal Ivysaur, but has the original Ivy's drowsy expression, her back flower is purple, and the leaves are shaped/fall like her hair.

### Cathy

Cathy is an entrance desk clerk at Team Rocket's headquarters. The character isn't based on any Pokémon or human character from the original show.

She's the one who Mir Yusuf approached for a job at Team Rocket. While skeptical of his usefulness, she decided to let him in after seeing him still waiting on their property 6 hours later, which implies she possesses a level of empathy the common Team Rocket employee doesn't have.

As the one who guards the entrance, she contacts Pezhman Fārsi's office with announcements often and he tends to go to her for reports. Though they rarely speak face to face and never had informal discussions, Mir started to believe Fārsi had a crush on her after he took her to a restaurant and spotted her with a large package on Valentine's Day -matching a cash withdrawal listed on a bank report he had stolen from Fārsi's office. She was temporarily used as a bargaining chip to get him his promotion, but these attempts flew under everyone's radar.

As the series progresses and more newer generation Pokémon humanizations are introduced, Cathy is more or less replaced by a man who resembles Mir Yusuf.

She has half-long, light-brown hair and wears lipstick. Her eyes are usually hidden in the shadow cast by her hat, but unlike most other Team Rocket employees, are sometimes visible. She's in her 20s.

### Mua Iokepa

Matori's Meowth as a human.

Mua Iokepa *(pronounced: "Mua Yaw-keh-pah"*) is a young man from Alola, who Charjessieon and Jamespuff meet in the far future and accidentally mistake for a mud-covered Mir Yusuf.

They unknowingly took him to their Alolan hideout, where he tried to win their affection by doing random chores. Even after learning he was someone else, the two wanted to keep "the more elegant Mir Yusuf", to Mir's dismay, and their boss too showed interest for the well-behaved newcomer.

Mua considered a future with the trio, but ended up seeing no value in them as Pokémon or trainers, and abandoned them in the middle of a fight with Pete Ashtoo.

He's a prideful and cunning person with the desire to reach ultimate success, comfort, and steadiness in life, one of the reasons being the fact he's gone through many different foster families as a child. He's awfully vain and refuses to tell certain details about himself, like his age or past, and only shares that which will help him get a leg up. In a sense, his personality and backstory is a different variant of Mir Yusuf's.

He looked up what he could find about Team Rocket and its hierarchy, then traveled to Kanto for the position of Pezhman Fārsi's secretary. He was instantly given the job and gifted a Pokémon assistant, resembling the original series' secretary, Matori.

When Fārsi video-called the trio to give his thanks for "funding Mua's travel back to headquarters", the three understood they had been used as a stepping stone to get to the boss. Mua then boldly called a second time to give an official declaration of rivalry; promising Mir Yusuf that Fārsi would come to like him enough to let him pet his prized Persian and be given everything Mir is trying to obtain in life.

Even so, Mua ignores the unpopular trio and tends to focus on his given tasks, showing the importance he puts in reaching his goals. Pezhman likes him, though his physical similarities to Mir Yusuf and aggressive need to please make him uncomfortable at times. Meanwhile, Mir tends to feel "slighted" when Pezhman and Mr. Giovanni respond friendly to Mua's advances.

The way Mua conducts himself at times makes it seem like he's aware of Pezhman's affection for Mir, though he's never stated it.

Like Mir, he styled his hair to look like a(n Alolan) Meowth's head to impress Fārsi, who's not commented on it. The rest of his Team Rocket attire is copied as well, though Mua makes use of blue shades. When wearing his secretary suit, it looks like that of the original Matori's, but also in blue.

His natural hair colour is a blueish black, and his eyes are dark and carry a relaxed expression. One other noticeable difference is the prominence of his lips, which is less so than Mir's.

### Glaceon (Matori)

Matori as a Pokémon.

"Glacorieon" used to be an Eevee bred by Team Rocket and knows only to serve the company. She was given to Pezhman Fārsi's secretary, Mua Iokepa, and functions as his assistant. She is his only Pokémon.

She unmistakeably has the body of a Glaceon, but is the result of an Eeveelution project and a mix of multiple evolutions, like Espeon and Umbreon. She has shorter, dark-purple hair, eyes, and patches, but a side effect is her below average eyesight. Other than that, she's considered a fair attempt and is the strongest Eeveelution at Team Rocket.

She's the leader of the other Eevees, who form a unit she commands during outdoor assignments, in which no human input is needed. Though she has this role, she's still obedient to Fārsi.

She and Charjessieon aren't on good terms, as Glacorieon is and has everything she wants, despite being overly stern and serious.

### Charmeleon (Jessebelle)

Jessebelle as a Pokémon.

Charmeleon was once Jamespuff's fiance, but after she showed her true colours and the details of the wedding were made clear, he retracted his love for her and ran from the engagement. She's a controlling character with the strange desire of making Jamespuff "her Pokémon". The wedding ceremony entailed that she'd weaken him, then catch him in a Poké Ball, whereafter she'd take on the role of a human trainer.

Because of Jamespuff's lazy and self-important demeanour, his parents welcomed this strategy and are very fond of Charmeleon.

Charmeleon looks like a regular Charmeleon, but with the same large head extension Charjessieon has, making them look similar to that extend.

### Parrasdra (Cassandra)

    Cassandra (from "The Problem with Paras") as a Pokémon.

Parrasdra is a Paras specialized in human medicine. She once found and cured Mir Yusuf of his fever, whilst scolding his teammates for wanting to abandon him. Acts of kindness were still a rare experience for Mir, which is why he blew her care out of proportion and he went on ahead to fantasize about a future with the bug.

Parrasdra has an owner, resembling Cassandra's Paras, who is the right candidate to test her medicine on, but he's afraid of Pokémon, including his own. He doesn't dare to try any of her harmless creations, halting Parrasdra's progress. Mir Yusuf attempted to impress her by giving him some confidence training and wished to become the mascot of her future product in return. Parrasdra stayed oblivious over his odd romantic interest in her, and denied him by arguing she'd never break up a team of "heroes"; referring to him, Charjessieon, and Jamespuff.

A more gentleman-like figure ended up getting the role as their brand's spokesman, who looked strangely similar to Team Rocket's boss.

Parrasdra looks like a regular Paras, but has a smaller beak, red pupils with blue eye-white, eyelashes, two pink ribbons tied to her mushrooms, and one torn green one around her neck. This ribbon is worn in such a way that it resembles Cassandra's hair.

### Orville Wright

Orville (from "Fly Me to the Moon") as a human.

Orville is a far relative of Pete G, and looks much like him when he was a child. He's small for his age, but mainly stands out from his family and fellow islanders for being the only one who's not overweight.

On his comfortable island home, his older brother often showed the local children a painting of their family's history; when they used to fly with bird Pokémon using a special suit. Orville wanted to replicate the past ever since. As he's light and small, he was able to fly with the suit his brother made for him.

The Team Rocket trio happened to hear about the brothers' wish to measure their peak height and offered their services to monitor Orville during flight. Mir Yusuf noticed how driven the boy was and claimed to see himself in him.

### Suki Takii (Skitty)

Skitty (from "Big Meowth, Little Dreams") as a human.

Suki was one of the short-lived love interests of Mir Yusuf. He spotted her on a balcony during his vacation, but his tactics of swooning her failed because of the interference of a mischievous baby that had escaped its caretakers. Because of the child's meddling, he came across inconsiderate and violent, which earned him no points with the girl.

She has pink hair tied in two pigtails, that are usually pushed down by her Skitty hat, and wears a pink-yellow bodysuit. She is of Japanese descent and 18 years old.

### Claire Maignan (Glameow)

Glameow (from "For The Love Of Meowth!") as a human.

Claire found Mir Yusuf after having been "blasted off" by Pete Ashtoo and nursed him back to health. He became entranced by her beauty and kindness, but unsure on how to approach her, so he convinced his teammates to kidnap her for the boss; "so she could be his girlfriend and he wouldn't be so lonely and bitter, softening him to giving them their promotion". They accepted his odd reasoning and captured Claire, but Mir Yusuf immediately ran off with her the following night.

During the escape, he didn't mention to had conducted the abduction and only told her he left Team Rocket for her safety. He then confessed his love and offered her the world, but his eagerness to please her confused Claire, as they hardly knew each other.

Unlike Meowth and Glameow, their escape was successful and they spent a whole month together. Claire's docile personality made her excuse her questionable meeting with Mir, and she was willing to stay and let him prove himself to her. He obeyed her every wish and pampered her every minute of the day, but this approach had a negative effect on her character. The pampering turned her overweight, and she became rude, selfish, and took Mir Yusuf for granted.

As she had never returned his feelings to begin with, it wasn't hard for him to walk away from her when his teammates, Pete Ashtoo, and Claire's Pokémon found their whereabouts. Claire became insulted by this and commanded her Pokémon to attack him, blasting him off together with Charjessieon and Jamespuff.

Claire has grey hair, blue eyes, and wears pink eyeshadow. She is of French descent and in her late 20s.

### Earl Long (Purrloin)

Purrloin (from "Purrloin: Sweet or Sneaky") as a human.

Earl is a young thief who started his life of crime after he was abandoned by his mother. She went out for an errand one day, but never returned home.

Since they were a humble, one-parent family, Earl assumed she had grown tired of it all and left to start a new life elsewhere. He waited for nearly a year, but after Winter came and the wild fruit and vegetables in the secluded area ran out, he left.

Because of his feminine features, androgynous voice, and decision to wear eyeshadow for his "intimidating thief look", Team Rocket's Mir Yusuf assumed he was a girl, and in addition, misunderstood his name to be "Pearl". He, and one of Pete Ashtoo's traveling companions, got an immediate crush on him and Earl decided to use it to his advantage. After he realized the two boys trusted him no matter what, he made up a lie about a trapped friend in a cave and asked the group to help him. He planned to rob and abandon them inside, but after his victims fell into an inescapable ditch, he decided to come back for them.

Shortly afterwards, his mother entered the cave, guided by one of Nidorash's Pokémon friends, and tried to explain she had been in a coma after suffering an accident, but Earl stayed skeptical and didn't want to hear it.

The fallen group began sinking in the cave's muddy ground and she tried to pull them out, but then too fell in. Earl left to get help from the townspeople he wronged earlier that day, saving everyone.

The day ended with Mir Yusuf and Pete Ashtoo's friend asking "Pearl" for a date, whereafter his mother clarified Earl is male.

Earl has purple hair, light eyebrows, big green eyes, and wears an excessive amount of pink eyeshadow. He also wears a purple, sleeveless v-neck bodysuit with short pants legs, and long purple gloves, but no shoes. He is 15 years old, but because his voice is on the edge of puberty, he can be mistaken for a 18-20 year old girl.

### Sabelle Muchmoney (Snubbull)

Snubbull (from "Snubbull Snobbery") as a human.

Sabelle is the daughter of the wealthy Madame Muchmoney and lives a pampered, yet suffocating life inside a mansion she's not allowed to leave. Pete Ashtoo and his friends found her while she was harassing a wild Growlithe she wished to take home. They were then invited over by her mother, who thought they helped bring back her missing daughter, where they learned of her preference for a simpler existence and the forced engagement with a person named "Winthrop".

When Sabelle later retreated to her bedroom, she spotted Mir Yusuf sneaking through her garden outside, looking to rob her home with his Pokémon teammates. Something inside of her snapped the moment she saw him, and she hurried herself downstairs to meet with him. She thinks Mir is handsome, but her fixation on him is more over the fact he's far from conventional or sophisticated; everything she never knew existed.

Mir doesn't like her because of her intrusiveness, sexual comments, and many fetishes, one of them being the act of pulling his hair. Having that said, the character acts like a joke in the presence of her crush.

She followed him around for many weeks, and refused to leave the cockpit of the tank he was controlling when the trio planned to return her to her mother in exchange for a promised reward. This resulted into Pete and his friends disbelieving Team Rocket's intentions of returning her, and thus attacked them. The trio had to respond with violence themselves, causing Sabelle and her mother to get hurt, whereafter she turned on Team Rocket.

Since her mother had become more understanding of her feelings, their reunion was a happy one.

Sabelle is short, stubby, has pink hair in ribbon-tied pigtails, and wears a pink dress that looks like the body of a Snubbull, with pink leggings and beige Mary Jane shoes. She is 15 years old.

## Trivia

* Marzieh's surname refers to the richest French-Persian man registered to date (2019), the founder of Ebay.
* Mua Iokepa's name is connected to Mir Yusuf's. "Mua" -though a multi-definition Hawaiian word- means "first" and is a meta taunt directed at him, and "Iokepa" the Hawaiian variant of the name "Joseph", with "Yusuf" being Arabic.
