Professor Eli Wolftree (Japanese: *教授*イーライ狼ツリー *Dr. Iirai Ookamitsurii*) is the main Pokémon Professor of the Soras region who specializes in Rangering and Pokémon Psychiatry, mostly to study the effects of what Pokéballs do to make wild Pokémon so tame to their trainers. She was once a tall, carefree, fearless female scientist who worked at the Aether Foundation before an incurable tragic lab accident had transformed her into a humanoid Politoed/Zeraora hybrid monster who is more timid and insecure about herself due to her smallness. Her "Zeratoed" form is voiced by Amy Birnbaum (English) and Akiko Yajima (Japanese) [Both the voices of Molly Hale from *Pokemon the Movie 3: Spell of the Unknown*], while her human form is voiced by Emily Neyes (English) and Aimi Tanaka (Japanese) [Both voices of Umaru's Human Form from the anime, *Himouto! Umaru-Chan*] in Eli the Zeratoed's imagination.

## Physical Appearance

### Human Form

This form of hers is described to be the most beautiful. She has pale skin and long blond hair that goes down to elbow length. She sports a vandren lab coat with a star button in the middle that the Aether Foundation employees used to wear before switching to a clothing-like attire. She has a grey name tag and a pen pocket with three pens in a specific color order (purple, red, and then blue) on the upper part of her lab coat. On the back, it has an upside down V-like snip in the middle and acts like a cape when running. Below her lab coat, she is seen wearing long pink caprice (this is normal in Alola), white socks, and lavender-colored sneakers with gray laces.

### Zeratoed Form

    When Eli painfully transformed into her Zeratoed form, not much has changed about her. The most obvious change, however, is the change in skin color from pale to lime green. The canine tooth on the "right" side of her mouth has grown enough to stick out of her mouth. Her above average feminine height of 5'8" had shrank down to around 4'5". Because of this, her body had to compensate for this change by making her arms shorter and her hands/fingers much smaller than what she had before. The lab coat she wore now overtakes her entire lower half of her body, and surrounded the arms and hands in now-oversized lab coat sleeves. Under her lab coat, she now has webbed frog-like feet (Though, she used to be designed with normal feet until Eli the Zeratoed found it to be a little unnatural and wanted to add to the frog-like aspect of her Zeratoed form). Much later in the series, she places a flower in her hair, most likely to make her not forget about the good memories of her home region that also made fun of her for her shortness and appearance, Alola.

## Personality

### Human Form

As a human, Eli is kind and friendly toward her piers and is not afraid to speak her mind. Her honesty can be quite blunt, but can tone it down when she notices someone's feelings are hurt. Whenever someone needs help with their work, Eli is always there to lend a helping hand. She can sense the feelings of others rather quickly and comforts them whenever she can. Because of her carefree nature, she tends to see life as an adventure with many twists and turns. When life hits her with lemons, she recovers from them like nothing happened and moves on with her life, making her the perfect person for companies to hire in stressful situations. Her happy attitude is seen as childlike, but at the same time, very subdued when in public. However, as a last resort to protect her friends, she will kick their butt with a secret roundhouse choking technique passed down by the Wolftree family. Despite her Mary Sue-like nature, her blissfulness can get the best of her and make her end up in betrayal traps, which ended up turning her into a Zeratoed.

### Zeratoed Form

After getting turned into a Zeratoed, Eli went from a carefree happy scientist to an insecure paranoid mess. Due to her now-lowered self esteem, she gets worried of what people will think of her new appearance and constantly calls herself ugly. She's very nervous, regretful, and sometimes shy towards taller people. Despite her insecure traits, she still tries to keep her happiness alive by hanging out with friends or winning Pokémon battles. Whenever she tries to make friends, she'll happily run up to them and introduce herself unless they are extremely tall. When showing off her happy side, she is more immature and childish than her human form, mostly when something perks her up like snow or bean bag chairs. When people cannot understand or notice her when she is talking to them, she can become irritated and grumpy like any short person would.

## Abilities (Zeratoed Form)

Over the years, her abilities have grown due to being able to go through multiple stages as a Zeratoed, but here's a few she currently has along with recent abilities not shown in the Zeratoed article, which you can read here:

**Increased Durability -** As a Zeratoed, Eli can survive from large fall distances, but when taking massive amounts of damage, her body quickly regenerates any lost skin or bone material.

**Non-Senescence -** Since Zeratoeds do not age, Eli cannot die of natural causes like any human would. However, it is said that Zeratoeds can live up to 500 years or more, so they're not *entirely* immortal.

    **Night Vision -** Whenever the area she is in gets dark, Eli will be able to see as clearly as she would in the daytime without any restrictions on her vision.

**High-Pitched Squeaking -** Because her voice is so high pitched, only people with sensitive hearing can understand her. Otherwise, they will only hear squeaks that sound similar to a desert frog calling out for help. Luckily, this is not a problem for any of the main characters in any universe, but a couple minor characters can only hear squeaks. However, when she is extremely happy, she will sometimes make uncontrollable squeaking noises out of pure instinct that anyone can hear regardless. At stage 5, this squeaking becomes it's own secret language to other Zeratoeds, human or not, and she can control whether or not she wants to speak it. The squeaking sounds English between the two users, but are squeaky when heard by humans.

**Sulfuric Stench -** When her entire body is submerged in rain or any type of liquid substance like water, Eli can produce a small-ranged sulfuric stench from her body that smells like 50 rotten eggs in a dump truck. When someone goes near her for a couple of seconds in this state, they instantly black out until the stench subsides. Thankfully, all that is needed to get rid of it is to dry her off completely like using Lugia's small wing blasts or putting her near a fan.

    **Abnormal Secretion -** When nervous or in a tight fix,

Eli can produce inhuman amounts of sweat from her tiny body, but she finds this ability gross and disgusting.

**Playing Dead -** When attacked by a foe that is larger than her, Eli's tiny body can go completely limp and temporarily paralyze itself to make it's foes think that she is dead. While in this state, Eli becomes extremely lightweight and can be picked up with ease. Despite looking dead, she is conscientious of everything around her, but cannot move a single muscle until the danger has completely subsided.

**Feral Nature -** When she feels too broken inside (mainly from having stress or insults being piled on top of her one by one), Eli can lose her humanity and behave like a feral wild animal. This unfortunately can't be controlled by the user and will need to be reversed by a Pokémon with psychic or mind-manipulating powers like Mewtwo or Marshadow to bring her back to normal. This ability is more controlled at stage 5, where she is seen snapping back to normal much easier.

**Permanent Dwarfism -** Because Zeratoeds cannot age, Eli cannot grow past 4'5". She cannot get any bigger or smaller through any means (including shrinking/growth rays), and is pretty much stuck at that height forever.

    **Glowing Saliva and Vomit -** Eli is able to produce glowing green saliva from her mouth instead of the clear spit humans make. Thankfully, it is not radioactive, and the only difference from regular spit is that it glows in the dark. Her vomit also takes on the same color as her spit, except without all the gross chunks normal barf would have.

**Cold Resistance -** Eli can survive any cold temperature without needing any gear to help her out like a coat or mittens. All her body does in response to the cold weather is shiver, but this does not mean she is suffering from the cold.

**Heat Resistance -** Eli can endure any warm temperature without needing any water or sunscreen. She is also immune to mirages and warmth-related illnesses like heat syncope.

**Regeneration -** When Eli suffers a fatal injury, she can regenerate any body parts that have suffered a lot of damage. However, it takes around 10 seconds for a body part to regenerate, regardless of what it is.

**Hunger and Thirst Immunity -** Because Eli is a Zeratoed, she does not have to eat or drink anything to survive for an extremely long time. However, if she chooses to eat or drink something again, she would have to eat more than her tall human self because her metabolism is very low due to having a smaller body than before.

    **Purring and Purr-like Snoring -** When Eli is deep into sleep, she will make soft purring noises with every breath she takes instead of snoring. However, the purring stops immediately when she wakes up. This does not mean she is always dreaming happily, and she'll still be purring when getting nightmares, but they'll be a little louder and squeakier than usual. On some rare happier occasions, it'll sound like a guniea pig's purr if Eli makes noises while her mouth is closed. While awake, she can purr just like a regular cat when extremely happy, content, or just to comfort herself or others of negative emotions.

**Increased Jumping Power -** Due to being half Politoed, Eli is able to jump two times her height. She finds out this ability much later on in her journey, and is confused of why she even has it if she's never discovered it before. This ability gets enhanced at stage 5, where her legs are adjusted to have a little more jumping power and control than usual.

**Enhanced Hearing -** Because her stage 5 form gives her catlike side ears, Eli is able to hear things clearly, understand Pokemon, and pick up sensitive sounds like those in ASMR videos. Unfortunately, this heightened sensitivity in hearing leaves her vulnerable to really loud noises or even dog whistles. Her ears also twitch when she's excited or happy about something.

**Super Scent -** Eli's stage 5 Zeratoed form has an enhanced sense of smell due to becoming one with her Zeratoed side. Because she can pick up so much, Eli can choose to lock onto a particular scent to find objects or people. However, when she's hungry, her nose will only pick up food until she's satisfied of her appetite.

**Pokemon Moves -** Due to her DNA perfectly becoming one with her Zeratoed form, her stage 5 self is able to have a few Pokemon moves (sadly cannot be changed) such as Plasma Fists, Bubble, Hydro Pump, and Electroweb. However, since she is not fully a Pokemon (and doing so would require her to sacrifice her humanity), she cannot level up and gain experience due to seemingly having no level at all, which ends up having these be the only 4 moves in her arsenal. The only move that does "evolve" is Bubble which turns into Bubble Beam due to being able to master how her bubbles work.

## Trivia

* Despite Eli's name being only associated with males, this character takes on the multi-gendered approach of using it, like where a name like "Sam" can be used by both genders and not just one or the other.
* Eli's tree name is based off the wolf tree, which is a type of huge tree that is surrounded by smaller trees and stunts their growth, making it more ironic for her to accidentally break her family's tallness tradition by becoming a "small tree" herself.
* This character was heavily based off of Peridot from *Steven Universe*, but broke away more from the canon character's personality as time went by

* When she's not hanging out with her friends or going on adventures, she is seen drawing, watching TV, looking at memes on her rPhone (Rotom Phone), reconciling her mistakes in life, sharing made-up stories with her Mimikyu, continuing her research with what little materials she has around at her lab, and despite being permanently stuck as a Zeratoed forever, she still tries to find a cure for the most tedious parts of her form (shortness, green skin, etc.) because of the shrinking feeling and paranoia she constantly feels on a day to day basis.
* Despite having a single fang, she does not have a lisp.    Although she can wear different types of clothing, now (and has done so on several occasions), she chooses to keep on the labcoat she once wore because she quotes in her Zeratoed accent, "Hey, what can I say? Nyobody can resist a female little person trying to look all cute and dignyified in a labcoat that's three times their size! Gets frienyds and guys every time, but I mostly just aim for frienyds."
	+ However, in the Galar Chronicles, she sports a much different, business-like outfit than usual due her insecurity of not wanting to be seen as a child.

* Eli finds relationships a waste of time, but her roleplayer, Eli the Zeratoed, begs to differ.
* Eli's personality while in her Zeratoed form is an embodiment of most of her roleplayer's secret irrational insecurities, like shrinking to the size of small bug and then getting squished on while trying to run away.
* Despite getting turned into a freak of nature, Professor Wolftree is still a well-respected scientist for inventing the rPhone, the RoboRuff, and a very limited cure supply for Pokérus (Due to the rarity of materials and how complicated it is to make just one successful pill). She's so popular for her work that even science-obsessed Jo-Schmoes can recognize her off the street, only if they're not just there to mock her height and appearance.
* Eli is the first Pokémon Professor to be complex and get physically deformed from science, while others are still human.
* Unlike most people, Eli was born as a test tube baby. When she was told about this as a human child by her own mother, she was cool with it and bragged about her strange conception to her classmates.
* Eli's species used to be called a "Peridot," but because her roleplayer wanted to make her fit flawlessly into the Pokemon universe, she is now called a "Zeratoed," which is a half Politoed, half Zeraora hybrid. However, she only has minor resemblances of their appearances like the green skin, the single fang, the short stature that lies in the middle of their heights (Politoed is 3'7" while Zeraora is 4'11"), and a swirl on her belly (unnoticeable when covered up).
