PROFESSOR TIPSY SPEAKING. I am here to introduce you to my friends and travelling companions!

(NOTE: YES. I KNOW THIS IS MORE THAN THE SIX POKEMON PER TEAM. And yeah, I know it's the law. Although a lot of these I don't even use for battle, and just let them tag along because want to come too. I have spoken with law enforcement about this, and they have permitted it, so long as I don't use more than six Pokemon in a battle.)

===========

Gustav the Krookodile (The Partner-In-Crime)
Male
Impish, Impetuous and silly
History: My best friend...and my starter. The very first Pokemon I owned for myself. I met him when I was going to college at Nimbasa University, a campus somewhere between Nimbasa City, and the Desert Resort. It was during my four years of studying outside in the sandy deserts, and had first met him as a Sandile, trying to take my lunch. I've spent those years getting to know him, his habits, his favorite foods, his living space, and the predators that would try to hunt him. Those days, he hung around me very often, following me around the campus, and being offered food while I taught him various things, such as human language, new hunting techniques, new foods, convenient technologies. I had become a teacher to this Sandile as well. And come post-graduation, he had evolved into a Krokorok, happily tagging along as my partner, ready to see the world and cause some racket.

These days, he does....stuff. He carries around a Clawitzer he trained himself, and named "Tomislav the Brass Beast", using it like a gun. He enjoys snacking on cute Electric-Type Pokemon. On bad days, he occasionally intoxicates himself by eating Bitter berries that confuse him. Talks smack about foes when doing battle, and likes to chew up small Pokemon before spitting them out. At least, those are some things he does aside from being the best friend I could ever ask for.

==========

Tomislav the Clawitzer (The Brass Beast)
Male
Brave, Strong willed
History: I'm gonna tell you the truth. Tomislav isn't my Pokemon. He's a Pokemon that my partner had raised and trained himself. YES, this is perfectly legal. But what happened was that Gustav had found him one day in Kalos, as a tiny Clauncher. And I mean tiny enough to fit in Gustav's hand. Apparently Tomislav had always been on a bit of the slow side, because when he was found he had trouble aiming and launching at a Frillish. So...Gustav, who had fallen in love with this thing and its firepower, had pretty much picked it up, and pricked a specific spot on its belly that caused him to launch a Water Gun at the Frillish's face, point blank. It wasn't the water that knocked it out, but the force of the blast. And after the whole thing, Gustav got it to stay with him, by feeding it a Pokepuff.

It was at that point that Gustav had spent some days perfecting his Clawitzer-Handling skills. He "reloads" Tomislav by feeding him a Pokepuff. Handles him in different ways depending on the move he's about to use, to avoid blowback damage. Regularly cleans and polishes his carapace. And Tomislav found himself easing into this, knowing that Gustav's Speed, matched with his sheer Special Attack power, can make the two of them a rather frightening combo!

==========

Shale the Tirtouga (The Newborn)
Male
Naive, Often scatters things
History: Now this was a relatively recent discovery. But most people are proud to admit that they have their "Shoulder Pokemon". And this happens to be mine. A very, VERY tiny Tirtouga. One whose fossil I found on the beach, which I thought was just a random pebble. Thing was smaller than the palm of my hand, suggesting that Shale must have died and fossilized when he was BARELY a hatchling, fresh out of the egg. Tragic really...but at least he's revived, and now, very much alive. Shale is very new to the world, and so, to learn more, he sits from the top of my head and just watches what happens.

He's pretty much mute, not having learned to communicate yet. He doesn't seem to understand most of the things he sees until later, when he pieces it together. He has a very slow metabolism, meaning that he doesn't need to eat or drink a lot, preferring to simply spend his days watching the world from the top of my head. Although one thing he IS skilled at is showing affection, because I sometimes scratch his head and let him eat off my hand. So cute!

==========

Tesla the Heliolisk (The Butler)
Male
Serious, Alert to sounds
History: Now Tesla is actually a Pokemon that I inherited from my father. He's still alive, don't worry, but what with me being the main traveler and all, he thought it best to transfer him over to provide his services to me. Apparently Tesla is actually quite old. Still going strong because of his reptilian biology, but old. Apparently so old that he used to watch over me when I was very young, putting him above at least 22 years. Tesla is basically considered the butler of my family, tending to the needs of myself and my other Pokemon, including cleanliness, health, food, and equipment. ESPECIALLY when it comes to helping me power my equipment, in case of an emergency. That whole "can power a skyscraper" thing is true, and it has saved my life in times where my equipments' batteries would have otherwise ran out. He is highly alert, because he is attentive to our safety and well being as well, leading other Pokemon of my team to pitch in and help out.

Although lately, I think everyone's been pitching in to help him considering that we've got about three Tyrunt triplets now. Even compared to before, Tesla's finding himself running around the clock, trying to make sure they don't cause a ruckus. Which they do. Very often. As does Charlie, whose birdbrained antics can REALLY frazzle his frill. I mean I dunno about you, but I've never seen a Heliolisk do a Full Nelson on a screaming, panicking Archen before.

===========

Europa the Aurorus (The Mother)
Female
Gentle, Loves to eat
History: Europa is an absolute angel...apparently, she had been an Amaura for a very long time, having lived in especially harsh conditions that caused her death and fossilization. Most notably, a lack of food. So when I brought her back from the Sail Fossil, she predictably ate like an elephant, munching on grass, flowers, tree leaves, berries, just about anything her peg-like teeth can chew on. I had seldom seen a Pokemon eat so much, so we were a bit worried for a moment, until she was finally satisfied. As an Amaura, she had a sweet disposition, singing in her species' characteristic manner, enjoying scale-polishing sessions, and used an occasional cold mist to keep the others from getting too rowdy. I mean they DO break out of their Pokeball at times to randomly battle with each other, chaos ensuing before she intervenes.

And then she evolved into an Aurorus. She got HUGE, gaining an appetite like a Snorlax and a digestive and immune system to back it up. This means that she's usually out of her Pokeball, wandering around looking for something to snack on, too big for almost any predator. Not to mention....that cold fog that constantly radiates from her body tends to be a problem when trying to observe wild environments whose denizens don't like cold temperatures. But she easily makes up for these by being everything she was as an Amaura and more. Essentially a Team Mom to most of the group's members. And the last detail I should mention? She's most definitely the very strongest member of my team. And believe me, like any self-respecting mom, she doesn't take crap from anyone messing with her teammates. Harm a teammate, and you get a smack with her tail. Harm a child, or a very young Pokemon, and you will be on the receiving end on what is probably the strongest Blizzard attack I've ever witnessed. Like...crap, man.

===========

Kongamato the Aerodactyl (The Elder)
Male
Bold, Highly persistent
History: He was, in fact, a birthday present from my parents. They gave him to me when his DNA was still fossilized in Old Amber. A trip to the Museum managed to restore him, and he was just about in his prime when he was so. A good deal older than most Aerodactyl, but nonetheless, experienced, and a good mentor to his peers, young and old.

I taught him Fly so that we can move to other locations when need be, and he makes for a pretty badass Pokemon! For starters he's an amazingly strong flier, easily able to carry myself and Gustav without breaking a sweat. Good company to be around too, being older and more able to go by his natural instincts. ESPECIALLY to kids, with whom he acts as a surrogate grandfather at times. Albeit I REFUSE to call him an Aerodactyl, because that would imply that he's related to Pterodactylus. Not the case. He's a Pterosaur-like Pokemon, a flying reptile. Therefore, I call him an Aerosaur. I'll petition for this, dammit!

============

Kasai the Tyranitar (The Manchild)
Male
Quirky, Often lost in thought
History: You may not believe me when I tell you this, but Kasai is actually...a huge dork. Thing is I found him as a Larvitar, who acted nothing like regular members from its species to begin with. Kasai was unusually hyperactive in a "Genki Guy" sort of way, had a rather immature sense of humor, loved dressing up in accessories, and had once gone on stage at a Pokemon Musical playing a saxophone. And just like some of my other members, occasionally burst out of his Pokeball to have a random friendly-fire battle with the rest of the team. Not to mention his diet made no real sense, because while he sometimes ate mountains of dirt, he seemed to enjoy hot dogs and nachos more.

When he evolved into a Pupitar, and then a Tyranitar, he...didn't change at all. While most Tyranitars use their new energy and freedom from their pupae to fight, destroy, and generally ignore other weaker Pokemon, Kasai just used his energy playing the saxophone for about 48 hours straight until he tuckered out. And sadly, most other Tyranitars are eager to try and step all over him and insult him for liking stuff that doesn't involve constant battling and destruction. But y'know, having been a long time team member, his friends are all quite eager to back him up. I mean you GOTTA respect a Tyranitar that can play "Never Gonna Dance Again"!

============

Charlie the Archen (The Birdbrain)
Male
Hasty, Scatters things often.
History: I tell you what, Charlie can be considered something of a polar opposite to Kongamato, in just about every way. He was a run-of-the-mill Plume Fossil I found, when I was digging underground one day in Unova, for cues on the Abundant Shrine's history, when I came across this Plume Fossil. Naturally, Fossil Pokemon are my passion, so after finishing up my project, I went to a Museum right away to revive it. And lo and behold, an Archen! A really birdbrained Archen at that....

He was undoubtedly one of the youngest members of our group, and frankly could be outsmarted any day by a newborn kitten. He goes to sleep in seconds if you put a blanket over his head. Inevitably tries to jump from great heights to see if he can fly. Occasionally starts flapping and screeching if something lands on his face, usually running about until he crashes into a window, or smash into a bunch of tables and chairs. Eats colorful things, including another person's/Pokemon's hair. TRIES to bury his head in the ground so people can't see him, but just make it look like he's ramming his head against the ground for no reason. Stuff like that. Although the Tyrantrum Triplets seem to like having him around as their "minion" of sorts. I should also mention I don't use him for battle often, because he gets scared off REALLY easily. I.e. Defeatist ability. Useless in battle, but great for survival in the wild. Or with a brigade of big, unruly archosaur Pokemon.

============

Blue the Tyrunt (The Alpha)
Female
Serious, Thoroughly cunning

Delta (The Beta)
Female
Adamant, Proud of its power.

Echo (The Omega)
Male
Naive, A little quick tempered
History: Ah, the Tyrunt Triplets....these three are all a real treat. The most recent additions to the Brigade. The funny thing is I got three of them in one day! I dug up Delta's Jaw Fossil from the ground, someone gave me Echo's Jaw Fossil in exchange for a copy of my Pokemon Field Guide, and I won Blue's Jaw Fossil as an honorary prize after participating in a Pokemon Contest with Europa. Nobody expected it, what with her moveset and species not being the "Contest-ish" type, but she passed it with flying colors! Literally. That flying aurora, that crystal-ice fog, that melodic singing voice like an opera singer only a Milotic could rival....and aside from standard fare prizes, I was offered a Tyrunt Fossil! Apparently, folks seem to know me well these days! In any case, I got three of them at the same time, and managed to revive them all at the Museum.

Blue is quite obviously the brains of the operation, and is most definitely a lot smarter than most Tyrunt I know. She's definitely clever enough to have the other two wrapped around her claws, and come up with plans to meet an end goal. Delta is the group's muscle, being the toughest of the three, and is so far kind of reckless, being the most eager to battle. And Echo is the speedster, and seems to look up to the other two for guidance. He's pretty hyper as it is, and has a tendency towards clowning about and acting immature with the others. Not to say that Blue and Delta are all that grown up either, and get carried away easily with whatever they're doing.

=========

Emela the Rampardos (NEW)
Female
Rash, Likes to thrash about

Ntouka the Bastiodon (NEW)
Male
Hardy, Likes to fight

History: OK, these two....a lot to say about 'em! So first things first, I found the both of them in the very same rock deposit, buried and fossilized together. And from the moment they were revived from their fossils, they showed a lot of strange dynamics with each other. First, they were both already at level 29, meaning it took VERY little time for them to evolve. Second, they literally fight at any given chance, with other team members, or simply spar matches with each other, and ESPECIALLY during trainer battles, these two just love to brawl! Albeit it should be said that Emela is more of a rampaging berserker in a battlefield, while Ntouka tends to think things out a BIT more. Not by much tho. Third, as belligerent as they may be, they seem to have developed a very sincere affection and fondness for each other, to the point where they're practically inseparable.

And fourth....they both share the same fears. Despite how aggressive they can be, they become frightened when separated from a group, or worse, separated from each other. They defend children and baby Pokemon very eagerly, laying down their lives for a child who can't save themselves from danger. Perhaps remembering their own hardships during that time. And most of all, they have a fear of....fire. ESPECIALLY bright, fiery projectiles flying through the skies. Fireworks. Flares. Rockets. Erupting volcanoes. But ESPECIALLY Fire-Type attacks. I first discovered this pathological fear when they battled a trainer's Typhlosion and Camerupt, and both were sent into panicked hysterics at the sight of a Lava Plume and Eruption attack. A moment of bragging and gloating from the trainer and their Pokemon, followed by bitter regret and remorseful apology, seeing them huddled up with each other and shaking, legitimately afraid they were going to die. They told me, that they reacted in this frightful way because they were killed by a great ball of fire from the sky all those years ago. A ball of fire, followed by volcanic eruptions, fire storms, and a rain of flaming debris. I think I know what happened to them....and I'm sorry I didn't know sooner.

==========

Pythagoras the Deino
Male
Jolly, Highly curious
History: You know....the Deino line as a whole gets a REALLY bad rap. And it has a lot to do with just how long it takes for them to level up, and the fact that few, if any trainers, want to be saddled with this Pokemon for that long to evolve. Leading to many mayfly-minded trainers to go out of their way and catch a Zweilous, or worse, a full-grown Hydreigon thinking they're taking the easy way out. Not so! However strong these Pokemon are, they are also destructive, and have little to no control over themselves! Pythagoras was especially bad off, because he was a VERY long way from that mark. He was only about at Level 2, and kept in a Dragon-Type shelter at the Village of Dragons that only a few people had permission to access. I happened to be one of those people, by way of knowing the psychologies, anatomies, and physical needs of Dragon-Type Pokemon enough to care for them, and help others care for them. I remember, when I asked for permission to take one with me, I had already made myself look weird by picking out the lowest level Deino possible. And then I proceeded not to battle with it, but...I actually started schooling it! Because I wanted to know, would it be possible for a Deino to become intelligent? Enough to betray its usual aggressive nature?

I gave it a pair of glasses with which to see. I figured out its nonviolent, curious nature, so I catered to it with education. Just in that village alone, I started teaching him ABC's, how to count, shapes and colors, how to read and write basic sentences. The Villagers, even the elders, were completely perplexed at what I was doing, because while most others sought to battle with these Pokemon and help them grow strong, I was becoming a schoolmarm with the express purpose of helping him grow SMART. And smart he became! This schooling was actually leveling him up! At level 5, he had a child's vocabulary, and a Kindergartner's grasp on basic math and English. At level 10, his vocabulary kept expanding, and his ability to think, reason, and read had grown to the point where Pythagoras himself actively asked questions and searched for answers, eager to learn more. And as he approaches level 15, I feel he's going to do wonderful things in life.

==============

Mlularuka the Noibat
Female
Quiet, Strong willed
History: SHE'S NAMED AFTER A CRYPTID. And stuff. I tell you what, I...don't know a lot about this girl. She's an on-and-off member of the team, as she doesn't often interact with me or the other Archosaurs. While she's definitely aware that I'm not going out of my way to become a Pokemon Master or anything, she seems to be laying low in the presence of other humans. But seems to have a level of respect for my ultimate goal to educate the world on Pokemon, and shed some light on species, ESPECIALLY the Dragon-Type, that everyone likes to battle with, but are often misunderstood. HOWEVER, I can say with great certainty that she has some kind of familial connection with Kongamato! I see her with him very often, as he seems to act like a surrogate uncle or grandfather to her! I'll give her time to open up a bit more at her own pace, but damn if she isn't one strong and clever girl. Gotta respect that!

AND THUS...wacky hijinks will ensue!

Second, they literally fight at any given chance, with other team members, or simply spar matches with each other, and ESPECIALLY during trainer battles, these two just love to brawl! Albeit it should be said that Emela is more of a rampaging berserker in a battlefield, while Ntouka tends to think things out a BIT more. Not by much tho. Third, as belligerent as they may be, they seem to have developed a very sincere affection and fondness for each other, to the point where they're practically inseparable.

And fourth....they both share the same fears. Despite how aggressive they can be, they become frightened when separated from a group, or worse, separated from each other. They defend children and baby Pokemon very eagerly, laying down their lives for a child who can't save themselves from danger. Perhaps remembering their own hardships during that time. And most of all, they have a fear of....fire. ESPECIALLY bright, fiery projectiles flying through the skies. Fireworks. Flares. Rockets. Erupting volcanoes. But ESPECIALLY Fire-Type attacks. I first discovered this pathological fear when they battled a trainer's Typhlosion and Camerupt, and both were sent into panicked hysterics at the sight of a Lava Plume and Eruption attack. A moment of bragging and gloating from the trainer and their Pokemon, followed by bitter regret and remorseful apology, seeing them huddled up with each other and shaking, legitimately afraid they were going to die. They told me, that they reacted in this frightful way because they were killed by a great ball of fire from the sky all those years ago. A ball of fire, followed by volcanic eruptions, fire storms, and a rain of flaming debris. I think I know what happened to them....and I'm sorry I didn't know sooner.

Pythagoras the Deino
Male
Jolly, Highly curious
History: You know....the Deino line as a whole gets a REALLY bad rap. And it has a lot to do with just how long it takes for them to level up, and the fact that few, if any trainers, want to be saddled with this Pokemon for that long to evolve. Leading to many mayfly-minded trainers to go out of their way and catch a Zweilous, or worse, a full-grown Hydreigon thinking they're taking the easy way out. Not so! However strong these Pokemon are, they are also destructive, and have little to no control over themselves! Pythagoras was especially bad off, because he was a VERY long way from that mark. He was only about at Level 2, and kept in a Dragon-Type shelter at the Village of Dragons that only a few people had permission to access. I happened to be one of those people, by way of knowing the psychologies, anatomies, and physical needs of Dragon-Type Pokemon enough to care for them, and help others care for them. I remember, when I asked for permission to take one with me, I had already made myself look weird by picking out the lowest level Deino possible. And then I proceeded not to battle with it, but...I actually started schooling it! Because I wanted to know, would it be possible for a Deino to become intelligent? Enough to betray its usual aggressive nature?

I gave it a pair of glasses with which to see. I figured out its nonviolent, curious nature, so I catered to it with education. Just in that village alone, I started teaching him ABC's, how to count, shapes and colors, how to read and write basic sentences. The Villagers, even the elders, were completely perplexed at what I was doing, because while most others sought to battle with these Pokemon and help them grow strong, I was becoming a schoolmarm with the express purpose of helping him grow SMART. And smart he became! This schooling was actually leveling him up! At level 5, he had a child's vocabulary, and a Kindergartner's grasp on basic math and English. At level 10, his vocabulary kept expanding, and his ability to think, reason, and read had grown to the point where Pythagoras himself actively asked questions and searched for answers, eager to learn more. And as he approaches level 15, I feel he's going to do wonderful things in life.

Mlularuka the Noibat
Female
Quiet, Strong willed
History: SHE'S NAMED AFTER A CRYPTID. And stuff. I tell you what, I...don't know a lot about this girl. She's an on-and-off member of the team, as she doesn't often interact with me or the other Archosaurs. While she's definitely aware that I'm not going out of my way to become a Pokemon Master or anything, she seems to be laying low in the presence of other humans. But seems to have a level of respect for my ultimate goal to educate the world on Pokemon, and shed some light on species, ESPECIALLY the Dragon-Type, that everyone likes to battle with, but are often misunderstood. HOWEVER, I can say with great certainty that she has some kind of familial connection with Kongamato! I see her with him very often, as he seems to act like a surrogate uncle or grandfather to her! I'll give her time to open up a bit more at her own pace, but damn if she isn't one strong and clever girl. Gotta respect that!

AND THUS...wacky hijinks will ensue!
