## Relationships

### Team Cheer

* Tucker - Brooke has taken Tucker under his wing and often guides him when his instincts falter and he lacks direction. He does his best to be heartfelt with the Poochyena, and listen to his issues, but he admits he's not very good with talking about feelings.
* Riley - Initially Brooke had a difficult time controlling Riley's impulses, but was still often one of the few who seemed to take Tiber's presence seriously early on. He made a promise that he'd stick by Riley no matter what happened, and it's something he clearly extends to his entire team.
* Ralph - Brooke often finds Ralph's shenanigans amusing or takes them fully at face value. He often encourages the Munchlax to do what his impulses tell him to, though once he gave Ralph a sticky snack to prevent him from talking to the Pride inappropriately. So his faith isn't always complete.
* Lizard - Before they evolved, Brooke often showed concern for Lizard's emotional state and tried to encourage Lizard to be a bit more proactive and brave. Since evolving, they seem a lot more on equal footing and he's happy to see it.
* Prince Zeal - Does his best to treat him as an equal member of the team regardless of status and foster his potential. He can often times be at a loss as what to do with the young prince's energy at times.
* Hotdog - Tends to approach the houndoom's sardonic personality with enthusiasm. Brooke's insistence on using a nickname for him confuses him. But Hotdog is better than Horny at least.

### Savan Town

* Pangoro - Often calls him "Boss" and clearly considers Pangoro to be a role model. He hasn't been above making snarky comments or making criticisms of the stalwart founder, however.
* Blaze - He seems to respect the quartermaster and endeavors to take care of the things lent to him. Though he's not above roping him into things if he thinks he can get away with it. Learned to cook from the charizard as well, so he looks up to him in some respects.
* Raize - Brooke is wary of Raize but tries not to actively antagonize him. He understands that he's made difficult decisions and whether or not they were for the best in the end, they're ones that the cofounder must live with.
* Lilligant - Respects her and wishes she would stick up for herself more often. He was oblivious to her advances but has since caught on and tried to let her know via a letter before hunting the Glalie.
* Squirtle - An adorable rascal. He feels a certain kinship with the lone water type. Kind of an older brotherly bond of sorts. He doesn't mind that he doesn't speak much.
* Kakuna - The first merchant Brooke met and gained a rapport with. He's decided to do most of his business with the Kakuna if only because the poor guy is doing his best.
* Florence - Brooke is intrigued by Florence, and he wonders what sort of weird magic he seems to have after witnessing him heal a pokemon with what didn't seem to be a normal move. Otherwise he's happy to share stories with the bard, and is excited to have someone extol the adventures of Team Cheer to the world.

### Seaspray

* Jawson - A badass that does what he wants whenever he wants. Brooke has a deep admiration of Jawson as well as considering him a milestone to his own growth. The next time he's in Seaspray he hopes to spend a little more time with him.
* Zoroark - The asshole that kidnapped Lizard. He doesn't like him much.
* Deadeye - Considers him a dangerous person, and is very aware of the difference between him and the one-eyed lizard. His static aura can put him on edge in an instant, but there seems to be a gentler side to him as well that Brooke is somewhat curious about. But until he can mitigate his weakness to electricity, he's going to keep his distance.
* Glide - The asshole that works for the asshole that kidnapped Lizard. He also doesn't like him very much.

### Wild Prairie

* Lord Zeal - A mysterious paragon of leadership. But one that Brooke doesn't quite seek to emulate. He doesn't want to be revered as a god king. But he's coming to understand the gravity of his rule. And he worries for Zeal taking up the mantle.
* Mightyena - The first danger. Brooke recieved a sobering blow from the leader of the Shadow Scavengers and ever since he's known that while he's living a dream come true, it's not a game. And pokemon out there can and will do harm to him and his team if they let them. He doesn't hate the Mightyena. But he does feel a grudge with him.
* Kommo-o - Has his deep respect for what he sacrificed in order to give the team a chance to save Riley. He doesn't quite understand Kommo-o's role in this world, or why such a system is in place. But he finds it better to not ask questions.

### The Gallantree

* Calvin - Made a promise to return after finding Glalie. Considers him one of the few Knights of Gallantree to seem reasonable, and as such intends to respect that promise. Something about him seems to draw the Croconaw.

### Other

* Scales - An apparition that appeared before Brooke in the Cave of Mirrors. It seems to be the spirit of a totodile that Brooke once trained as a human. He seems to have a deep emotional motivation associated with him, but he has yet to speak about it much.
* Tiber - At first he was seen as a threat and a great enemy. After defeating him in the cave of mirrors, he's begrudgingly began accepting him as part of the team. Mostly because he can't really get rid of him, and his abilities have been proven useful.
* Mistress Salazzle - A wild pokemon who personified a lot of Brooke's personal ideals about living in the wild and what pokemon with power should act. She may have been vindictive and dastardly, but he knew she was just one pokemon trying to survive, as were all the sandalits like Lizard who perished in the Alcazar. He considers her death an unavoidable tragedy.
* Augmentation - Brooke is somewhat intimidated by the specter of Augmentation. But he's been challenged to withstand its depth, and he does not intend on shying away from it.

* "Walls may be stationary, but a leader can't be." - Session 55
* "It doesn't matter who you were. You're you, and that's all we need." - Session 61
* "Strength is exponential. No matter how hard he tries, a single person can only do so much. But the more people you have, the higher the limit. Whether you believe in ME or not, it's my job to believe in you." - Session 70
* "The world is going to change whether we want it to or not. But that doesn't mean we have to let anyone suffer because of it if we can help it." - Session 77
* "If you feel responsible for a life...;pst or taken...then it doesn't devalue your own. If anything, doing so does a disservice to their lives. As though they died for nothing. So, instead, why not live a life worthy of their sacrifice?" - Session 81
