Elizabeth's/George's Mom

> "*When did you start being a Pokémon trainer? Don't you know how dangerous it is? Remember what happened to your father? I can't believe you got a Pokémon behind my back!" —* Mom
>
>

The owner and head breeder of a Mareep farm and the Player's mom.

## Chronological Information

### Relationships

Elizabeth/George (child), Richard (neighbor), Husband (status unknown)

## Appearance

The mom is woman who always seen in her breeder outfit. She wears a canary yellow shirt under some light green overalls that match her bandana. She wears large pushes on her waist. She also wears strong working gloves and boots. She keeps her hair tied back in a ponytail.

## Personality

The mom is very cheerful and dedicated to her job and often asks her child to help her out. She is protective of her child and doesn't want them to become a trainer due to some unknown tragedy with her husband. She is very harsh and angry when she learns that her child became a trainer behind her back. However she's not unwilling to listen to reason when in this state.

## *What If England Was a Pokémon Region?*

Elizabeth's/George's mom first appears to tell them that their hometown will be holding a play at a local theater and that the mayor asked the family to provide some materials for the production. After her kid finishes their chores, she sends them out to deliver some wool to the mayor.

After Elizabeth/George and Richard finish their roles in the play—revealing that they've been training in secret—she approaches her kid and Professor Cedar in a near panic attack. She is concerned for her child's safety and is upset that they got a Pokémon behind her back. She is especially concerned about the dangers of training because something happened to Elizabeth's/George's father, though it isn't made clear what happened to him. Professor Cedar steps in and reveals that she gave Elizabeth/George the starter and that it's important for a parent to support their child's goals. Although she isn't happy about the situation and wishes they talked to her first, Elizabeth's/George's mom allows them to go on their journey, provided they stay safe.

## Trivia

* The Tuxonian Mom is represented by an altered version of the female breeder art from X and Y.
* She was originally going to have another child who would've acted as Elizabeth's/George's rival alongside Richard. This other child was ultimately cut.

Art by RGreywind

Art by RGreywind

Buddyized Ralts, Kirlia, Gardevoir, and Gallade are variants developed by Team Buddy. They lose their Psychic (and Fighting in Gallade's case) typing, with the core line becoming Fairy/Ice type and Gallade becoming Fairy/Steel instead.

## Abilites

Snow Warning: The Pokémon summons a hailstorm when it enters a battle.

Ice Body (Mega Gardevoir): The Pokémon gradually regains HP in a hailstorm.

Justified: Being hit by a Dark-type move boosts the Attack stat of the Pokémon, for justice.

Stalwart (Mega Gallade): Ignores the effects of opposing Pokémon's Abilities and moves that draw in moves.

## Team Buddy Research Lab Entries

### Original Line

Initial testing showed this Pokémon line to act weak and helpless, taking advantage of those that would offer it help. Later tests showed that to be a ruse and it would use that tactic to get in close and then go in for the kill.

### Gallade

Buddyized Gallade's sense of honor has been amplified tenfold. If it sees a person or Pokémon in need of help, it will drop everything to come to their aid. Even at the risk of its own safety.

## Trivia

* Gardevoir is based on a Disney princess while Gallade is based on a Disney prince.

He jokingly challenges Elizabeth\George to a battle, when Prof. Cedar passes by and offers to lend one of her Pokémon to Elizabeth\George, as they have none. After some intitial suspects, they pick a starter Pokémon (Magmutt, Drizzeel or Rabbush) and have a battle against Richard. After that, Richard's mother calls him home, and Prof. Cedar tells Elizabeth\George they can hold on the Pokémon she gave them until the big play that night.

That night, at the Minack Theater, Elizabeth\George and Richard have a Pokémon battle as part of a play that re-enacts the fight in which George (the legendary hero) and Equarius brought down Toxygen, with Elizabeth\George as George and Richard as an ancient king. After the play, Elizabeth\George's mother confronts them, scolding them for having kept a Pokémon behind her back. Prof. Cedar intervenes and manages to convince their mother to let them go on a journey.

Even though Ulani loses the battle, he still praises her and Sirius/Stella for a great first battle. He does his best to encourage Ulani in order to ease her frustration. When Professor Kukui arrives at the festival, Hala and Hau are completely confused by his new style; however, Hala takes the change in stride and asks Kukui about his spa day. Hala later changes the subject and asks Kukui what he planned on giving Sirius/Stella and Ulani. After he leaves, Hala says that Ulani and Sirius/Stella should go see Kukui even though he's acting pretty strange.

Sirius/Stella return to Iki Town after completing Hau's trial in order to complete their Grand Trial against Hala. He commends them for completing their trial and challenges them to a battle. After he is defeated, he gifts Sirius/Stella a Fightinium Z and congratulates them. Suddenly, Tapu Koko appears and drops a stone on the ground. Hala says that he can make them a Z-Ring with the stone and that Tape Koko has recognized their strength with the gift. He shares a look with Tapu Koko and becomes concerned before the guardian flies off. He mentions that Tapu Koko is worried about something and hopes that it's nothing like the events of the previous year. He breaks off the serious conversation to make the Z-Ring for Sirius/Stella.

She even called the police to keep an eye on them, but she still isn't having any luck learning their true intentions. Juniper ultimately says that if Team Buddy has this large plan to make everyone friends and they're able to hide it this well, then they could be planning something sinister.

After the Player tries to investigate the Buddy Building, Juniper calls them in a panic. She tells them that something has gone wrong at the Dream Yard and that Professor Fennel might be in trouble because of Team Buddy.

Team Buddy

Team Buddy is an Unova-based evil team and is lead by Mr. Buddy. After their defeat, a new branch of Team Buddy took hold of Alola, completely separate from the original members.

## Mission

Team Buddy came along in Unova after Team Plasma made people drift away from their Pokémon. Mr. Buddy and the Virbank Slodges tried to reunite people and their Pokémon once again; however they were constantly rejected due to their rough appearance. Pushed to the brink, they started Team Buddy to force everyone to be friends. They created a business front that promoted their original message while presenting a saccharine image. However, those who opposed the team started disappearing without a trace. Through the manipulation of Professor Fennel and the Dream Yard, they obtained the Lucid Mist and carried out their true mission of making friends with everyone in the world using the mist, the Buddyization process, and ultimately a Jirachi.

The motives of Neo Team Buddy are thus unknown. However they seem to have a focus on improving the effects of Lucid Mist.

## Common Pokémon

When keeping up their swell facade, Team Buddy uses Fairy types or Pokémon that are particularly nice, like Chansey. However, they also use Dark types as a reference to the team's greaser undertones. The admins use solely Dark and threatening Pokémon.

Although little information is known about the team, Neo Team Buddy created and uses Buddyized Pokémon. These species have their typings changed, whether partially or wholly, to incorporate the Fairy type. It is unknown if Neo Team Buddy uses Dark types.

Art by Bonus Level

## Chronological Information

### Relationships

Victoria (coworker), Arthur (coworker), Robin (coworker)

## Appearance

Morgana is an intense-looking woman. Her curly black hair dangles over her shoulders, contrasting with her extremely pale skin. She wears a medieval-styled blood red dress with long flowing sleeves. Her dress is cinched with a gold cord. She wears a simple bracelet on her right wrist and a choker with a Pokéball around her throat.

## Personality

Morgana is stern but caring person. She is very interested in mythology, even becoming Tuxon's leading expert on the subject. She appears very serious and tackles problems as such; however, she is more than willing to take the time to help her allies and loved ones. Her speech is a bit serious, but she's happy to take a verbal jab at her friends.

## *What If England Was a Pokémon Region?*

Morgana is first mentioned when Sophia kidnaps Victoria. Based on Sophia's questions about the ancient dragon, Victoria presumes that Sophia actually meant to kidnap Morgana because she's the region's prominent mythology expert.

Morgana accompanies Victoria to the bridge leading to Tuxon's Pokémon League. There, she meets Elizabeth/George for the first time and thanks them for helping Victoria. She then gets down to business and reveals that Team Imperium is looking for objects associated with summoning Toxygen. Although most Tuxonians believe the legendary is a myth, Morgana assures that it is very real and everyone should be concerned. She's done some research in her own time and confirms that it is possible to revive Toxygen, but she keeps a level head and tells Elizabeth/George that they can't say for sure that's Team Imperium's plan.

Morgana joins Arthur at the wrecked library, where she reveals that Team Imperium stole all of the books relating to the ancient dragon. This confirms to her that they found a way to resurrect it and fully intend to do so.

She appears alongside the rest of the League as they cheer on Elizabeth/George during their battles with Nero and Toxygen. Much like the rest of her coworkers, Morgana is shocked at the idea that there's a mole within the League.

## Trivia

* Morgana is based on Morgan le Fey from the King Arthur myth.

During the completion,
If I were standing still
(I wouldn't disappear) JUST TIME GOES BY
Away to wait for the light
Why is it too heavy?
I'm scared to start moving,
because of your running eyes.
However,
always peel,
like pulling your feet.
Take care!
GO AHEAD!
With a new determination
of yours.
There a lot things to turn around.
(OOO YEAH!)
Come here
My future is (me laughing)
It is this one!

## *Team Buddy Returns*

As Sirius/Stella are looking for the Trial Captain that is supposed to be at Diglett's Tunnel, they see Flint walking past and decide to follow him, believing he's the Trial Captain. They encounter him near the Ruins of Life and start up a conversation. He asks if they've seen a blonde woman with a Garchomp anywhere and says that he's trying to find her because she was supposed to return to Sinnoh months ago. He's excited to learn that Sirius/Stella saw someone who fits her description in Hau'Oli. Before he goes to investigate, he lends them his Infernape to use as a Ride Pokémon.

At the Tide Song Hotel, Flint says that can't look for Cynthia in Melemele because the ferry captain got sick.

Flint is found again at the Tide Song Hotel, where he can later be recruited for the Virbank Slodges to take down Team Buddy at the gala, held at the Aether Foundation. He expresses interest, but since Cynthia was going to be present, he questions if he is strong enough to face her or not. He asks Sirius/Stella to check Mt. Lanakila to find Z-Crystals for him to use. After finding the crystals, he gives them one of the crystals, depending on what starter Pokemon they have started with. He, along with Nanu, Hylda, and Roza, can be recruited for the teams. Later in Po Town, if all of them are recruited, he witnesses an argument between Ulani and Hylda. He tries to quell the situation, only to get shut out and dissed.

Profesor Burnet is a researcher at the Dimensional Research Lab in Alola.

## Chronological Information

### Relationships

Kukui (husband), Sirius/Stella (acquaintance)

## *Team Buddy Returns*

Upon initially entering the Dimensional Research Lab, Sirius/Stella meet Professor Burnet. Initially, she's wearing a 50s styled dress, but she quickly changes back into her normal clothing, revealing she isn't Buddyized. She says that she was just wearing that because she had a meeting at the Aether Foundation and needed to dress a bit more formally. She is excited to meet Sirius/Stella after hearing about them from Kukui. She then explains the concept of Ultra Wormholes and everything that relates to them. She's excited to learn that they already met a Faller and is shocked to learn that she didn't display any amnesia or trauma. She reaches for a tablet to see if the Ultra Recon Squad contacted her about a new type of Ultra Wormhole that could cause this type of Faller with mental stability, but is saddened when she sees that there isn't a message. Burnet explains that the Ultra Recon Squad has been helping her lab's research immensely over the year, but they haven't been in contact for a while. She adds that there are some strangely consistent energy spikes going on in Alola, making her think that the Ultra Energy is being controlled somehow. She jolts her attention back to Sirius/Stella and apologizes for getting so in depth about her research. Burnet then tells them that she was meeting with the Aether Foundation at Kukui's insistence to tell them about her findings on Ultra Space and the multiverse with their president. She admits that Kukui has been acting goofy recently, but she met with Lusamine and Neo Team Buddy. They were extremely interested in her research and Burnet lent them some tech relating to Dimensional Stability. She sends Sirius/Stella off with a smile, telling them to stop by any time.

## Trivia

* Nolaklop voices Burnet in Team Buddy Returns.
* Kukui has a picture of Burnet on his bulletin board.
