Samantha Peoisie is the 7th Gym Leader of the Ijowa Region, as well as the founder and former Leader of Team Antidote. She gave trainers who beat her the Nausea Badge. She specialises in  Type Pokémon.

## Appearance

Samantha has medium length blonde hair and royal blue eyes. She has a enormous amount of clothing styles which she has worn due to her wealth and is almost never seen wearing the same thing twice.

The only clothing she wears consistently is her gym leader outfit. It's a simple plant green dress with white leggings and gloves, with purple heels and a similarly coloured neck piece. She has purple earrings and a Mega Ring on her middle finger.

## Personality

Samantha is usually quite a reserved character, keeping to herself and avoiding talking to other people whenever possible. When she does speak, her words sometimes come off as harsh to people she doesn't care for (most people she has to talk to). Her intellect makes it hard for her to enjoy menial conversation with others and the lack of attention from her parents pushed her to be active with her goals. She used to be underestimated as a gym leader but her reputation has made sure that she solidified herself as a terrifying trainer.

## Biography

### Early Life

Samantha was gifted with an astounding intellect at a very young age. However, her family saw her intelligence as unnecessary due to their already large wealth and believed that it would just get in the way. The only reason she was even able to continue learning was because of her right hand butler giving her private lessons but he was eventually found out and fired. Just before that he gave Samantha a Shiny Gengar with a Gengarite to remember him by as she had grown a liking towards Poison Type Pokémon. Although she managed to enter a top university in Galar and graduate, over time her love for her family dwindled. Her parents barely paid attention to her and when they did they wouldn't listen to anything she had to say. The only person who even cared about her was her brother Harry, who even then was still just as stuck up and snobbish as her parents.

Shortly after her graduation, she and her family moved to Ijowa for "business reasons" according to her father and bought out a large estate there. Some time after, Samantha's parents divorced and she was forced to be acquainted to Andre, her new Step-Father. By this time also, she had a Pokémon team which she wanted to battle with, so she attempted the Ijowa Royal League. She lost after the 3rd gym battle. Her team wasn't strong enough and she lacked the sufficient bond with her Gengar to allow it to Mega Evolve. Her defeat filled her with anger and disappointment. However, Champion King Ebra had seen her passion for battle and told her that if she trains up her team and gets stronger he may let her be a gym leader. So that's exactly what she did. After some time, her team was much stronger and was added as a member of the league. Both Elizabeth and Andre then immediately started to pay more attention to her as she was in close contact with the strongest and most influential person in Ijowa. She hated that she only got attention from her parents once she was of use to them which further divided the family.

Despite all this, Samantha was most frustrated at herself. She knew deep down that if she wasn't smart and just blindly did what her parents told of her, then she might have had a better family life. This knowledge slowly began to eat away at her psyche, causing her to think of a plan that can make her better, make everyone better. Thankfully there was no way for her to feasibly do this, for now.

### Pokémon Chaos & Command

She is first shown in Lagama City's Underground where she saves Abaeze from the clutches of Kilajule, who had briefly gone into blind rage after Team Blitz Admin Alterna had tried to subdue it. She holds it off, allowing him to escape to the surface. Once she escapes she contacts Irin to help deal with Kilajule. Samantha is proud of Abaeze for holding off Kilajule for as long as he did and says that he can come her estate any time. She is later seen in the Peoisie Estate, where she tells you about her family and how she originates from the Galar Region. She says that she is the 7th gym leader, specialising in Poison Type Pokémon. This is also where her gym is located, and she tells Abaeze that once he defeats Ibilola he can challenge her to a Gym Battle.

After returning from beating Ibilola, she talks about she can see the determination in Abaeze's eyes, and how she wants him to prove his worth as a potential champion. She sends out her first Pokémon and the battle begins.

Abaeze battles her and manages to triumph, something Samantha is both shocked but relieved by. She says that she sees him becoming the champion of the region one day, and congratulates him by giving him not only the Nausea Badge but also a Gengarite. After Abaeze leaves, he is stopped by Samantha's mother: Elizabeth Peoisie. Elizabeth says that she heard a commotion coming from the room unlike anything she has heard in years. She notices the newly acquired Nausea Badge and is surprised to find out Abaeze defeated Samantha. Elizabeth says usually her daughter beats most trainers with little effort and they usually get angry or start bawling out tears. Samantha then walks out from the Gym Battle room, ignores Elizabeth and tells Abaeze he should get going on his Gym Challenge so he can face Irin quickly. She then leaves without even looking at Elizabeth. The latter then starts acting sad and tells Abaeze about how Samantha never listens to her, although Abaeze isn't entirely convinced.

After Team Blitz is defeated and Abaeze is announced Champion King, Samantha can be found outside of the Peoisie Estate. She is going to leave for some time, saying that she has had enough of her family, especially her parents, and wants to follow her own path to fix Ijowa after what Cattivo did to it. She tells Abaeze that he should go ahead and capture Kilajule, as the Ijowa Region needs to see that it isn't evil. She departs, but not before giving Abaeze ₽1,000,000 as a final thanks for taking down Team Blitz.

She can be found various areas around Ijowa, training or performing what looks to be some sort of research. If Abaeze approaches her she will tell him that she's trying to see what this region truly has to offer. She can also be asked for a rematch, which she will always accept, as she says that she's been training her Pokémon since their last battle.

After being defeated Samantha will thank Abaeze for the battle and then continue with what she was doing before.

### The Champions' Challenge

Two years passed since Team Blitz had tried to take control of Kilajule and Samantha had become the leader of Team Antidote, an organisation built from what was left of Team Blitz to try and right the wrongs of the team. Whether it be helping people or Pokémon, Team Antidote would try to repair and heal the bonds of the Ijowan people which is one of the reasons why Samantha called the organisation Team Antidote.

However this was only the surface level of their intentions. Also during this time, Samantha had visited the Aether Foundation to find out what she can about Ultra Beasts as she knows their power and what they did to Lusamine. Most of the areas were restricted for her so she had to secretly steal some plans of Ultra Wormhole travel and information on various Ultra Beasts. The main ones she was concerned over was Nihilego and Naganadel due to their Poison Typing and the former's ability to alter the brain's psyche. Her only issue was the fact that she had no way of getting into Ultra Space without a Cosmog. She then had realised that Gengar's Pokédex entry mentions that when it Mega Evolves it can supposedly travel between dimensions making her believe that it may be possible to reach Ultra Space using her Gengar. After thorough testing and sending herself to the brink of insanity she had created a gaseous concoction that is able to make whoever inhales it submit to her will. She calls this: **Ultra Beast Fumes** (or UB Fumes). She had tested them on both of the Team Blitz admins and many of the grunts to terrifying success. She had eventually decided to use it on her mother, Andre, her biological father and finally, her brother.

## Samantha's Diary

This is every written and auditory log from Samantha's Journal that was discovered on her Lab Computer, detailing her plans from Team Blitz being revealed, up until she had perfected her plans. Most of the early audio logs were lost, namely logs 2-11 and various others.

### Typed Entries

#### September 22nd

So, it turns out that all the power outages and electricity problems weren't freak accidents but in fact caused by PunchPow Corporations under the guise of Team Blitz. I don't really know how to react, my parents (mainly my father) have very close relations to PunchPow so does that mean they're going to be arrested? Damn their leader, Cattivo was his name. They are apparently using the Legendary Pokémon native to this region called Kilajule to enact their plans. They just want to cause pain and suffering, I hope that kid takes them down and make them pay.

#### August 1st

A lot has happened since the last entry. Champion King Ebra has been dethroned by Abaeze, the same one who took down Team Blitz and even bested Team Nerve's Leader Tyronah. My mother and Andre have managed to escape the law due to their wealth and influence and are now coming to *me* for help since I'm in direct contact with the Champion King. The audacity! They treat me like I'm not even there for most of there lives and now that I have something they can't just buy they come to me! I hate them with every living being of my soul! They need to be exposed for the frauds that they are! If there was some way I could gain influence my own way I could do something but I have nothing, besides being a Gym Leader. It'd be easier if I had relations with Team Blitz. Now that I mention it, if Team Blitz's Leader is gone, and my parents are in close contact, maybe I can use that. I'll update you when something new happens.

#### September 12th

It took a long time, but I managed to get somewhere. I told my mother and Andre that if they wanted help from the Champion King, that they would have to let me take control of what was left of Team Blitz. They didn't really have a choice so they agreed and I've started a new organisation called: Team Antidote. I aim to try to reduce the damage that Team Blitz had on the Ijowan people. Well, partially. I also had a thought about how I could increase my influence and get revenge on my family at the same time. I'm not sure on the exact details, but it has something to do with my scientific expertise: Neurology. I will have to research deeply but I think I might be able to get somewhere.

#### October 5th

I feel like I'm just going through circles. I wanted some way of discrete mind alteration but nothing seems to work in the way I want. Most Pokémon Poison moves are just standard toxic or too specific to use on a larger scale. Regular toxins are mildly irritating at best for what I want and I can't risk trying to use more extreme methods as the dangers are too high. Even Psychic types can only really cause people to enter deep sleeps at best so their out of the question as well. If only there was some legendary that I could obtain, like Champion Tain's Eternatus. That thing supposedly possesses infinite energy and is a Poison/Dragon Type. It would be impossible to obtain though as Galar was almost destroyed by that thing last year. My only other option is the Aether Foundation in Alola but I doubt they'll help anybody, especially with their leader still in recovery from the Ultra Beast menace.

#### April 7th

I think I've just made a breakthrough! I managed to acquire some research papers from the Aether Foundation and what I found out was fascinating! The Ultra Beasts which I had heard about appearing Alola and Galar were not only real, but possess just what I need to kickstart my plans. The documents details of 12 Ultra Beasts but there are 2 in particular which grabbed my attention: UB-01 Symbiont and UB Adhesive/UB Stinger.

UB-01 Symbiont, otherwise known as Nihilego, vaguely resembles a Frillish and is a Rock/Poison Type. It is a parasitic organism, in fact Aether President Lusamine was taken over by one according to these documents but her body was a perfect host. It has powerful neurotoxins that inject poisons that subtly alter the thoughts and actions of any human or Pokémon that becomes its host. It can also boost the strength of the latter two and unleash their hidden potential. The main drawback is that if not used carefully, it can ruin a person psychologically, which could spell disaster for them.

UB Adhesive (called Poipole) and mainly its evolution, UB Stinger (Naganadel) are an evolutionary line, being Poison and Poison/Dragon Type respectively. Naganadel stores hundreds of litres of poisonous liquid inside its body despite its size. It would be a great help to learn how this Pokémon stores toxins in such large amounts without damaging itself or how it can store more than its own weight.

However the best find of them all was from this this very region, UB-06 Corruption: Dilitrium. I hadn't realised it was an Ultra Beast until seeing the documents but it has to be based on their description. It's a peculiar Ultra Beast that appeared in Ijowa. It's capable of producing toxic gases that cause hallucinations to those who inhale it. Quite frankly it's almost the perfect Pokémon for my plans... if not for the fact that any attempt to get to it would likely result in life threatening injuries unto myself which I am not yet prepared to do. I've seen what it can do and quite frankly if any Pokémon is evil, it's Dilitrium.

There are other non-Ultra Beast Pokémon that could help but they are either too inefficient at producing Poison or just inferior to the UBs. I may use these Pokémon for testing to reduce the risk of a chemical leak. I'm aware that this plan is bordering on insanity because of the lengths I have to go through to achieve it but I've been left little choice. Team Antidote has only just sprouted and I need a better method keeping the loyal Team Blitz Members from revolting.

#### April 8th

I have come into another roadblock. The only way to traverse through Ultra Space is by using an Ultra Wormhole and the only Pokémon capable of freely creating them is either the Sunne or the Moone Pokémon which the champion of Alola is in possession of. I see no way of convincing him to open up tears in space for someone he doesn't know, especially with what happened with the Aether President nor would he just give me the Ultra Beasts I need. I pondered about this when I realised that there might be a way another to get there. My Gengar can Mega Evolve and, according to the Pokédex, it can travel through dimensions which means that in theory I could use my Gengar as a gateway to other dimensions. You are probably aware that Mega Gengar is a very hostile Pokémon, but at this point if I survive I can continue my plans and if I die, well, I won't let that happen.

#### April 14th

I have done some experiments with my Gengar to see if it can travel to specific dimensions. I had it Mega Evolve and gave him a map of Ultra Space and had him bring me an item from the respective worlds so that I would know that he made it. To keep it brief, after a couple of trials he had succeeded. I wouldn't be able to do this without Gengar, so if anybody is reading this and you know where my Gengar is, give it its Gengarite and release it from its Pokéball. I say this because the next time I write in this entry I will have travelled to Ultra Space. I will try to best prepare myself with sufficient gear and equipment, but I can't guarantee I'll make it out in one piece.

#### July 3rd (Transcribed by Samantha herself)

Sorry for the poor typewriting. I'm trying to write as fast as I can as I just came back from Ultra Space. I was able to travel using Gengar but travelling through space via Gengar seems to have caused some unknown side-effects. I caught the Poipole and Nihilego without too much trouble but my memory is still hazy. I will begin testing once I've better recovered. There was a piece of key information I was going to write but it seems my memory lo ***(the entry continued with repeated "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." here because she passed out from over exhaustion)***

#### July 20th

Unbeknownst to me, I had actually been missing for 3 months during my travels to Ultra Space. So I had to convince the public that one of the Team Blitz admins had kidnapped me for usurping their organisation. I wanted both as test subjects, but I suppose the girl will have to do. I have somewhat recovered from my state of weakness and will begin to start testing with a sample poison to try and influence the psyche of the brain. I'll start with Pokémon, and then eventually continue to humans.

### Audio Logs

#### Log #1

"As I have started testing on living organisms, I have decided to switch to audio logs instead of using my diary. I'm beginning the testing phase using Rattata as the subject. I have some other scientists with whose names I will keep secret for privacy reasons; the responsibility of whatever happens falls onto me. I can't say for sure that the effects are universal on all types of Pokémon due to the large biodiversity, but nevertheless I have to at least try. Inject the sample poison directly into the Rattata's brain. I used primarily Nihilego & Dilitrium toxins for this."

***(The Rattata hisses in resistance and then wails in agony, eventually dying.)***

"Test #1 is an absolute failure. My hypothesis is that the combined poison of 2 Ultra Beasts is far too great for Rattata and as a result died before the results can even be tested. Luckily, I have other Pokémon with me. Bring the Copperajah. ***(Faint cry of a Copperajah is brought to the room Samantha's in.)*** We will try the poison on a steel type to see if they can better handle the poison."

***(The Copperajah wails in pain but ceases momentarily. It makes a sound as if it was in a daze only to return to normal, even more stressed than before.)***

"An unexpected turn of events. Despite most Steel Type Pokémon having an absolute immunity to Poison, it would seem that it can still affect them, if only briefly. Some adjustment will have to be made so that weaker/non-Steel Type Pokémon can survive the dosage and have the effects last longer. Return the Copperajah. I know what I need to do next."

#### Log #12

"I've tried tests with more Pokémon than I'm willing to admit, but it would seem that combining Nihilego and Dilitrium toxins are too potent to inject directly into the brain, in addition to the fact that it's too inefficient to manually inject liquid Poison. I experimented on some of the strongest Pokémon I could get my hands on and they died mere hours after the initial injection. I've been forced to change the formula to accommodate for this and have reduced the quantity of Nihilego poison as it's far more damaging to tissue than Dilitrium's. I should also mention that some of the scientists with me had managed to make it stable in gaseous form. I shall name this new poison: Ultra Beast Fumes or UB Fumes for simplicity. The choice for this was both due to efficiency and the fact that Dilitrium's toxic fog works best in gaseous form. I have another Pokémon here, a Grapploct, to test against the UB Fumes. I will have one of my scientists distribute this test. Everyone else, you should leave out of precauti-***(sounds of Grapploct escaping and busting a canister of UB Fumes)*** Get out of here! There's been a containment breach \*cough\* \*cough\* we need to quarantine the area!"

***(Silence as the recorder is left playing as everybody evacuates)***

***(One of the researchers with Samantha)***: "What are you doing Miss Samantha?! The recorder isn't necessary, are you insane?! Miss Samantha? Samant-"

"Why did I think this was a good idea?! Messing with Gengar, Ultra Beasts, neurotoxins! My parents were right, I am crazy! If I wasn't so blinded by my own selfishness none of this would've happened! What am I going to do now? My life is ruined! If that Team Blitz bastard wasn't so damn megalomaniacal I wouldn't be here! It's his fault! Why couldn't he have known better?! Why couldn't he just *be* better?! Better... be better... That's just it! If I have the power to influence people's minds, why stop there? I can make more than just my family perfect! Then nobody would have to suffer! All I'd have to do is make a few adjustments to the UB Fumes and I could fix everything! And once I've infected everybody on this world... I'll subject myself to the UB Fumes as well and then everyone will live without the burden of corrupt people trying to rule the world! I'm going to have to hurry! I'm basically on my own now since the other scientists are bedridden! But I know the perfect person to test this on!"

"I have brought in the latest test subject with me. They are one of the admins of Team Blitz, Alterna. Anything you want to say?"

"Untie me you insufferable maniac! I'm not gonna be a part of your insane schemes! Once Cattivo gets outta prison, you're gonna be in a world of pain, bi-!"

"That's enough out of you. She's going to be the first human subject, well, besides myself I suppose. You're going to be exposed to the UB Fumes a lot longer than me so, let's see if you can survive *this*!"

***(The sounds of gas is heard and muffled screams can be heard only to abruptly stop.)***

"Well? If you can hear me say my name." ***(A response of "Samantha" is heard faintly)*** "Who are you?" ***(A response of "Alexa" can be heard faintly)*** "Okay. Another question..."

#### Log #24

"So, I have successfully have infected the brain of a human and it seems there aren't any unforeseen side effects currently in effect, at least for now. I had Alexa partake in some physical and mental tests and there are no signs of the UB Fumes impeding on her physical prowess or intelligence. The thing is to mention however is that she is completely non-responsive to anything unless otherwise instructed, which is quite concerning for how powerful this is ***(awkward chuckle)*** In any case, tests show that this is likely temporary, but large amounts of progress has been made and I'm confident that I will be able to create a near permanent version of the UB Fumes."

#### Log #25

"A fortnight has passed and there are no signs showing that the UB Fumes are losing effect. It is likely because of the lack of information of the Ultra Beasts used means there may be some unintended side effects as well. It's all starting to go over my head. I've come so far... I've done so much... this is all me! Not being handed everything at a mere thought, no family that constantly inhibit my intelligence, it took a long time, but it was all worth it! If I keep going at this rate, I might be able to infect the entirity of Team Antidote! Unless... the champions get in the way. If you didn't know Champion Abaeze is trying to start an events bringing many champions from across the world to compete in some sort of competition. If I alert them too soon, I will surely be stopped immediately. No, I need to be more careful. I need to get rid of them, but how? They're all too powerful. Maybe if I use the UB Fumes on them and get rid of them? Or, better yet, maybe I can just have them join my side! If I can pick them off one by one, or at least some of them, nobody would be able to interfere! Not every champion would come, sure, but some of the strong ones are bound to show up to prove their strength! I'll fill you in once I sort out everything! Alexa! We're going to the Royal League!"

#### Log #26

"I'm not supposed to be recording here but I'm going to try and talk to the Champion King about my idea, for The Champions' Challenge (that's what he's named the tournament). I've brought Alexa with me as well, I made her my new personal assistant. Remember Alexa, act like a normal assistant would, this part is vital for the plan."

"Yes of course, Miss Samantha!"

"Good." ***(Abaeze can be heard and he welcomes Samantha and Alexa into his room. They discuss Samantha's idea for the Champions' Challenge where she interviews the champions first so people get a better idea of their teams and personalities)*** "So, does this sound like something you're able to do, your Majesty?" ***(Abaeze responds)***

Abaeze: "No need for formalities Samantha! Most of the people here are older than me! But yeah, it sounds like a great idea! But..."

Samantha: "Is there a problem?"

Abaeze: "Well it's just that I've been finding it hard for us to realistically gather many champions from all the regions to Ijowa. As it is most regions don't really communicate with each other besides Greater Kanto. As far as most are concerned we're a nobody region in some place no one has heard of. I mean if you had an idea in mind then I'm all ears."

Samantha: "Actually, I do. But it's going to require all of Team Antidote as well as most of the region to pull this off."

Made custom poisons for the champions hence why their personalities are so different

## Trivia

* Samantha is 5ft 4in
* Her brother nicknames her Sammy; she dislikes the name but has become used to it over time
* She tends to be the biggest obstacle for challengers due to her Gengar's Mega Evolution combined with its perfect IVs
* Her Gengar is a shiny, something she didn't even realise until she Mega Evolved it for the first time, as it's shiny appearance is similar to its regular appearance
* Her favourite colour is Lilac
* In a popularity poll of the Gym Leaders and the Elite Four, Samantha was placed 11th, with the only reason she wasn't last was because Princess Iwin was dead as far as the public was concerned
* This wasn't helped by the fact that she was a big hurdle for gym challengers and her personality tended to come off as harsh due to her family life
* At her best, she could feasibly become an Elite Four member, if not for the fact that it is exclusively for the Royal Family
	+ Even after the League System overhaul by Abaeze however, she remains the 7th Gym Leader
