Main Characters:

-Xavier

Xavier is a 22 year old retired trainer with a troubled past who lives in a secluded meadow close to Visu City in the Veris region of Portus. After a tragic incident he chose to live as a hermit away from society with his partner Quill, an unusual cyndaquil with a curious but rash attitude.

As Team Phoenix attacked the region's professor, Quill immediately jumped to the rescue, ending up captured along with the professor.

To recover his partner, Xavier, hunts down Team Phoenix through Portus making new friends and allies along the way while being confronted by his own guilt for his past actions.

He doesn't believe himself to be a pokémon trainer and constantly corrects people that refer to him as such.

-Toby Olson

Tobias Olson,15, is one of the children that had to grow up in a destroyed Portus after the Relic War 12 years ago.

The Olson family is known throughout Portus as the only family still dedicated to Pokémon training and Toby is no exception.

The only child of the Olson family is smart and cunning with a strong sense of justice and a desire to prove his worth that usually gets him into dangerous situations

He was born with a weak heart that makes him unable to withstand stessful situations. He seems to resent his illness and the way people tend to coddle him because of it and seems to have confidence issues because of it.

Toby wished to prove himself despite his illness by becoming a propper pokémon trainer and earn the title of Champion in honor of his father.

His partners are Cinder, a larvesta that his father left him and wild Sharp a Pawnyard Toby befriended while travelling with Alice to the Fleur Crater. Though Toby's mother didn't allow him to keep it, Sharp never left Toby's side as is usually seen walking beside him instead of inside a pokeball.

Team Phoenix:

-Cast

Cast is one of the admins of Team Phoenix.

Cast used to be a bounty hunter in the Hoenn region specializing in capturing difficult pokémon and trainers. He enjoys the thrill of the hunt, prefering to fight on equal grounds and never backs down from a challenge though this attitude of his makes him reckless and prone to make mistakes as he disregards any advantage he might have for a "fair battle".

Cast shows great respect for Xavier's and Toby's dedication to their goals.

He is a passionate and kind man at the end of the day who is unaware of Team Phoenix's nefarious actions.

Despite being a third party hired by Teal to aid in the capture of pokémon for the Ark, Cast is to be treated as an equal by Teal and Patience to the latter's anger

"I figured out that purpose isn't meant to be found. It's meant to be created. With every choice we make every day."

Cast's partner is Gale, a shiny gallade he met as a Ralts. At the time, Cast caught the Gale to take it to the Pokemon center as he though it was sick.

-Patience

Patience is a misterious woman working as an informer for Team Phoenix.

She's egocentric, prideful and prone to explode. She has a strong hatred for Xavier and Tim after they defeat her milotic in a double battle.

She grew up in a rich and influential family, as a child she realized the people she saw as friends were only interested in her position and wealth and grew up to see human relations as nothing more than a means to an end.

Her partner is a shiny Milotic bred specifically by her demands. Though Milotic cares for Patience, she has no feeling towards her pokémon seeing it as a simple tool.

-Teal

Teal is misterious man who seems to call the shots in Team Phoenix.

He possesses multiple psychic abilities that make him a dangerous foe even without pokémon. His abilities include levitation, telekinesis, mind reading, hipnosis and teleportation but the full reach of his abilities are unknown.

He has a confident and nonchalant attitude on top of a twisted and uncarring personality.

He claims to be just one of the admins of Team Phoenix but his actions and attitude say otherwise.

It is unkown whether Teal even has Pokémon as his psychic abilities tend to be enough to resolve conflicts.

Side Characters:

-Tim

Tim is an optimistic and easygoing aspiring trainer that Xavier meets in Visu city's abandoned gym.

Tim has travelled around Portus for past 2 years with his Phanphy, Mick Jay, looking for a job to support his family which lives in the Motain region of Portus.

He's learned how to understand pokémon during his travels a skill that's almost second nature to him already.

-Alphonze

The sitting President of Portus, Alphonze, was only 19 when he was sent out to fight in the Relic War. During that time he quickly moved up in rank until he was in charge of his own squadron which managed to deactivate the Ultimate Weapon for good.

His actions led an insurgence group in Portus to throw down the government as a last attempt to resolve the war and spare more deaths on both sides.

Alphonze then rose to the occasion, took the presidential seat and brought and end to the conflict by surrendering to Kalos.

Most people were happy to see the end of the war but Alphonze's choice brought terrible consequences that made some people see him as a spineless coward and a traitor.

Alphonze is serious man with cunning witt and a thorough attitude that isn't afraid to take things to his own hands while also being kind and selfless man that would rather put himself than put others in danger.

Despite being known as the Normal type gym leader of Portus, he owns many different kinds of pokémon that he uses according to the situation such as using Ditto as camouflage, Aegislash as weapons or Mr. Mimes to put up barriers.

His partners are a shiny Braviary he caught before being sent off to Kalos and Aster, the absol that followed him during the war and saved him and his friends from many dangers. Aster is technically a wild pokémon that usually warns Alphonze when something bad is about to happen.

-Alexander Nomad

The youngest member of the National Union of Portus and the leader of the Nomads as well as the third official gym leader of Portus. Alexander is a young man that survived the blast 12 years ago and manage to survive in the Fleur Crater alongside his partner Piplup while taking care of other survivors.

Despite being only 18, Alexander is very mature and serious, prefering to play things out safely but can get caught off-guard in stressful situations. Alex's age is often used when questioning his title but Alphonze and the other members of the Union have deep respect for the boy and shoot down any attacks regarding his age or his maturity.

Alex is an expert navigator and hunter, learning from a young age how to track and predict the moves of Pokémon to avoid the rampanging megas of the Fleur Crater.

As a trainer, he prefers the water and steel types that live in the Crater and has a strong dislike for the Mega Pokémon that go rampant in his region.

-Trevor J. Kane

The leader of the Scouts as well as the sescond gym leader of Portus.

Like his brother William Jacks Kane, Trevor served in the Relic was a part of a recon squad watching over Geosenge Town. He later joined Alphonze's squadron in their final attack towards the Ultimate Weapon.

After the war, Trevor decided to become a boy scouts Conselour teaching kids how to live in the wild but soon changed his mind when most of the kids stopped showing because the routes leading to Cliffside Town were too dangerous to travel without domesticated Pokémon.

With some of his army buddies, Trevor began flying people across the dense forests of the Veris region helping many reach their schools, jobs,etc... and gaining a large following.

His group became known as the Scouts and recognized as an official part of the National Union of Portus.

Trevor is a people pleaser that tries his hardest to meet expectations and inspire his troops that prefers Bug and Flying type Pokémon.

His partner is a Talonflame that his brother caught for him when they were little.

-William "Jacks" Kane

Trevor's older brother, leader of the Darumaka group and the first official gym leader of Portus.

During the Relic War Jacks was part of the insurgence group that took down the government of Portus after Alphonze deactivated the Ultimate Weapon.

After the war, Jacks moved back to the Motain region to watch over his parents but soon was called to act again by Alphonze, who feared that other countries could try to invade Portus throught the northern borders of the Motain region.

Jacks gladly accepted the job with the condition he could decide the best way to go about it on his own.

Being a pacifist, Jacks dedicated his new resources at establishing a rescue service to watch over the region as well as preserve the natural attributes of the region making it much more dangerous for people to traverse.

Unlike his brother, Jack's confidence is stronger than steel and he always keeps up a warm, cheery attitude, as he rips out puns in the worst situations.

His partner is a Darmanitan he grew attached to. During the insurgence's time in the Motain Region, darumakas were used to keep people warm in the freezing heights.

-Alice Olson

The oldest member of the Olson family and Toby's grandmother.

After Toby's father passed away, Alice took it upon herself to train Toby against her daughter's wishes.

Though she has the same fears about Toby's illness, Alice's love for the boy made her put those fears aside to help him become a trainer worthy of his family name.

She is a proud and clever woman that can come up with strategies to put down her opponents before they can even act.

She's one of the few people in Portus that has little appreciation for Alphonze for his choice to surrender to Kalos as she believes that that resolution was an insult for the people that died in that war including her son-in-law.

She also owns every hotel in Portus and the founder of the school in Fate Town that gives education to most of the children in Portus.

-Gabriel Albatore

A young priest of the Church of the Enlightened that watches over the St. Joshua Orphanage in the middle of route 5 of the Veris Region.

The adoptive son of father Joshua Albatore, the original founder of the orphanage which was sanctified after his death for his actions during the relic war.

Like many others, Gabriel was an orphan of the Relic war that was found and taken care of by Father Joshua.

Though he tries to act mature and in control, Gabriel is a passionate and independent man that has a hard time controlling his emotions or following orders from his superiors, especially if they go against his ideals or morals.

He lives in the Orphanage with his adoptive sister, Nia, and together they raise the children to be kind and strong according to the teachings of the church.

He has a strong dislike for ghost types as he sees them as corruptors of the sanctity of the soul and a strong appreciation for the Dark and Fighting types that he sees as a reflection of himself.

While being a kind and forgiving man, Gabriel can go to terrifying lengths to protect his "family" and shows no mercy to anyone who threathens his loved ones.

His presence is the only thing keeping the ghost types that inhabit route 5 from becoming a threat to the orphanage and has inspired many of the orphans to become trainers like him.

Gabriel's partner is an albino Weavile that followed Gabriel around when they were both small and orphan. Though Gabriel used to hate the clumbsy and clingy pokémon, he grew to care for it after he realized that they shared a lot in common.

-Nia Albatore

A Nun of the Church of the Enlightened that watches over the St Joshua Orphanage along with Gabriel.

She is a kind and motherly woman that learned from Father Joshua how to treat and take care of others.

She takes it upon herself to teach the children of the orphanage how to take care of themselves by teaching them many life skills such as how to treat injuries and how to cook for themselves.

She has strong feelings for Gabriel who she describes as a dandelion grown in asphalt. Strong but delicate, born from struggle and strife but hopeful and determined to give a better life to the next generation.
