At The Gym

[tearsofademon]

These Pokemon are part of the Collegiate Gym roster, and generally roam freely between the gym and the house. If Ryner is on a trip, typically he will avoid filling out the rest of his party with any of these unless the gym is closed.

Ren - Typhlosion

[tearsofademon]

Ren Typhlosion ♂ LV☆100 Type: Fire Egg Group: Field Nature: Docile Ability: Blaze OT: Ryner Lute February 13, 2011: Purchased as an egg from Scott Pilgrim February 20, 2011: Egg hatched in Goldenrod City April 9, 2011: Evolved into Quilava August 4, 2011: Evolved into Typhlosion

Ryner purchased this Cyndaquil's egg because Rose decided, in her infinite wisdom, that the best way to make Ryner less lonesome and homesick would be to surround him with more partners. (Also she was cold.) Because he knew more or less what was going to come from the egg, Ryner named him Ren, short for "Kurenai", a Roland fire spell. Ren is a very curious fire beast with sparkling eyes that just take in everything about the world - he wants to learn everything he can. He's energetic and loves to explore, though he also sleeps a lot out of necessity because he thinks he has more energy than he really does and therefore pushes himself a little hard and ends up tiring himself out easily. Early in his life, he was incredibly sensitive to the touch and would flare up whenever someone petted him unexpectedly, even if they were being gentle - Ryner still has a scar on his right hand from when he got burned, even if it's only barely noticeable if you know where to look. With evolution, Ren's gotten better and no longer flares up at the slightest touch, but he's still liable to do it if you catch him too off guard. He's pretty much the team campfire, and has no problem with this. ::Tackle, Leer, Smokescreen, Ember, Quick Attack, Flame Wheel, Defense Curl, Swift, Lava Plume, Flamethrower, Rollout, Double Edge, Eruption, Gyro Ball, Flame Charge, Inferno, Burn Up:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Psychic), Solar Beam, Toxic, Secret Power, Focus Blast HM Moves: Strength, Rock Smash

Jiji - Umbreon

[tearsofademon]

Jiji Umbreon ♂ LV☆100 Type: Dark Egg Group: Field Nature: Hardy Ability: Synchronize OT: Ryner Lute April 5, 2011: Received as an egg from Fuji Shuusuke April 15, 2011: Egg hatched in Azalea Town July 15, 2011: Evolved into Umbreon

Fuji randomly decided to send Ryner an Eevee egg. To this day, Ryner's still not completely sure why. Jiji loves to fight. Anything and everything. He loves to chase things that are smaller than him - doing so gives him what he thinks of as the thrill of the hunt. He loves to fight things that are stronger than him - never let it be said that he would ever back away from the excitement of a challenge. Yes, he gets hurt a lot, which drives Ryner nuts, but he doesn't care, because he finds it fun. When there isn't anything around to fight or chase, however, he will demand the attention of anyone and everyone in the vicinity - he's a little bit vain, and just loves being petted. He's becoming good friends with Kaile - though he initially thought of him as his prey (before Ryner stepped in and made a feather-on-a-stick toy for him to chase instead), he now tends to accept him as his partner in the hunt, and they do everything together. ::Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, Sand-attack, Growl, Quick Attack, Confuse Ray, Faint Attack, Assurance, Last Resort, Mean Look, Screech, Moonlight, Pursuit, Guard Swap, Baby-Doll Eyes, Snarl, Foul Play, Covet, Swift, Bite, Copycat, Baton Pass, Take Down, Charm, Double-Edge, Dark Pulse:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Flying), Shadow Ball, Toxic, Protect, Taunt, Secret Power

Kaile - Wigglytuff

[tearsofademon]

Kaile Wigglytuff ♂ LV☆100 Type: Normal/Fairy Egg Group: Fairy Nature: Impish Ability: Cute Charm OT: Ryner Lute April 24, 2011: Received as a mystery egg May 2, 2011: Egg hatched on Route 32 July 15, 2011: Evolved into Jigglypuff March 8, 2012: Evolved into Wigglytuff

This Igglybuff hatched from the mystery egg Ryner received for Easter. No one is ever quite sure exactly what Kaile is thinking. His expression is always a small, peaceful smile, one that doesn't betray any particular emotion. Always. It never changes, ever. Rarely, one might be able to catch a shred of his true feelings in his eyes, but you have to be looking. He's not exactly shy, but he is fairly quiet. Stealthy, too - he's been known to pop up without warning in a spot where you swear he was nowhere near two seconds ago. He also takes a little bit after his Delibird lineage (he's got one as an ancestor somewhere) and likes to give gifts to people. It's not his fault if they explode most the time. Has become good friends with Jiji, to the point where they're practically inseparable. Dango Pink is his daughter. ::Sing, Charm, Defense Curl, Pound, Sweet Kiss, Copycat, Doubleslap, Rest, Body Slam, Gyro Ball, Wake-up Slap, Mimic, Hyper Voice, Double-edge, Play Rough, Disable, Disarming Voice, Echoed Voice, Covet, Stockpile, Swallow, Spit Up, Round:: Bred: Present TM Moves: Hidden Power (Flying), Water Pulse, Thunder, Secret Power, Solar Beam, Focus Blast, Blizzard HM Moves: Strength

Ellie - Sawsbuck

[tearsofademon]

Ellie Sawsbuck ♀ LV☆100 Type: Normal/Grass Egg Group: Field Nature: Adamant Ability: Sap Sipper OT: Ryner Lute May 31, 2012: Met on Route 36 at level 19 August 8, 2012: Evolved into Sawsbuck

This Deerling decided that Ryner was going to be her friend the instant she first laid eyes on him. She first leapt in front of him to get him to catch her, but when that didn't work, she started bringing him gifts. First a wildflower or two, then some berries, then a large flowering branch, until he finally got the point and asked if she wanted to come along. Ellie wants to be friends with EVERYONE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. And if she wants something, she will get her way, make no mistake. She will do whatever it takes to get her way, though she isn't particularly cunning or anything, just diabetes-sweet and innocent enough to get her point across. Her hobbies include frolicking with and singing to the local wildlife, even though she doesn't actually know the move Sing, and, ah... isn't very good at it. (But that's okay, that just means they won't fall asleep while listening to her~) ::Tackle, Camouflage, Growl, Sand-attack, Double Kick, Leech Seed, Faint Attack, Take Down, Jump Kick, Aromatherapy, Energy Ball, Charm, Horn Leech, Nature Power, Double-edge, Solarbeam, Megahorn:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Psychic), Sunny Day, Secret Power HM Moves: Rock Smash

Jiru - Espeon

[tearsofademon]

Jiru Espeon ♀ LV☆100 Type: Psychic Egg Group: Field Nature: Hasty Ability: Synchronize OT: Ryner Lute September 8, 2012: Egg was laid and hidden away September 22, 2012: Egg hatched in Goldenrod City November 27, 2012: Evolved into Espeon

During yet another one of Ryner's semi-annual egg sales, Jiji decided that he wanted to give Jina, Sion's Glaceon and Jiji's son, a sibling to play with. So he hid one of his eggs so that Ryner wouldn't find it until it was too late to sell it. This Eevee is Jiji's daughter. With a highly curious nature and a cheerful disposition, Jiru wants to poke her nose into everything and everything, even if it's something she really shouldn't get into. When she wants something, she has a tendency to act on impulse and rush into it, rather than thinking through the best way to do it. Still, she's cooperative most of the time once you explain to her what she's doing wrong, and has a good memory. ::Tackle, Tail Whip, Helping Hand, Sand-attack, Growl, Quick Attack, Swift, Psybeam, Future Sight, Last Resort, Psych Up, Psychic, Morning Sun, Power Swap, Confusion, Baby-Doll Eyes, Covet, Bite, Copycat, Baton Pass, Take Down, Double-Edge:: Bred: Charm, Hidden Power (Water) TM Moves: Toxic, Calm Mind, Shadow Ball, Secret Power

Senna - Volcarona

[tearsofademon]

Senna Volcarona ♀ LV☆100 Type: Bug/Fire Egg Group: Bug Nature: Docile Ability: Flame Body OT: Ryner Lute November 24, 2012: Met during Fourth Wall at level 30 April 7, 2013: Evolved into Volcarona

During the first Fourth Wall event that everyone was allowed to remember part of, Ryner ended up buried under a pile of Larvesta that pretty much fell from the sky. This one just happened to decide to stick around, since she had nothing better to do. Her name is derived from that of some weird guy Ryner met during the Fourth Wall who seemed to know him but was no one he'd ever met before. Senna is very easy-going, and though she's not the most out-going, she's certainly friendly enough. She keeps a rather chilled-out attitude toward the world most of the time, and is quick to forgive for even large grievances, not that there's much that gets on her nerves. Also, she's quite warm and fluffy and doesn't mind being used as a pillow, though her large size now that she's evolved makes that somewhat more difficult these days. The one odd thing about her is her sense of humor, in that she likes climbing up the wall and sticking to it for hours on end before suddenly flopping down to the floor when you least expect it, for the sole purpose of seeing who jumps. For some reason, she finds this hilarious. ::Ember, String Shot, Leech Life, Take Down, Flame Charge, Bug Bite, Double-edge, Quiver Dance, Heat Wave, Bug Buzz, Rage Powder, Hurricane, Fiery Dance, Flare Blitz, Thrash, Amnesia, Flame Wheel, Gust, Fire Spin, Whirlwind, Silver Wind, Absorb, Struggle Bug, Screech, Fire Blast:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Psychic), Sunny Day, Roost, Will-O-Wisp, Secret Power, Solar Beam HM Moves: Fly

Tei - Mienshao

[tearsofademon]

Tei Mienshao ♂ LV☆100 Type: Fighting Egg Group: Field/Human-like Nature: Sassy Ability: Inner Focus OT: Ryner Lute February 15, 2013: Purchased as an egg from Cecil Harvey February 23, 2013: Egg hatched in Goldenrod City October 20, 2013: Evolved into Mienshao

Ryner purchased this Mienfoo egg at BreederCon because Rose, in her infinite wisdom, decided that she wanted him to. He's going with the assumption that she wanted a fighting type on the team so she could have a challenge when it grew up. Highly self-disciplined and self-motivated, Tei is one of the most serious members of the menagerie when it comes to training... and he knows it. And he makes sure everyone else knows it too. When he completes his exercises (which he made up himself), he makes sure everyone else knows just how well his training went that day, and makes no secret how much he prides himself on being more disciplined than everyone else, which makes him come off (rightfully) as a bit of a jerk. He needs to learn social skills, big time. ::Pound, Meditate, Detect, Fake Out, Doubleslap, Swift, Drain Punch, Jump Kick, U-Turn, Bounce, Hi Jump Kick, Wide Guard, Fury Swipes, Hone Claws:: Bred: Endure, Feint, Low Kick, Me First, Force Palm, Quick Guard, Reversal, Aura Sphere, Calm Mind, Return, Poison Jab, Stone Edge TM Moves: Hidden Power (Water), Secret Power, Focus Blast HM Moves: Strength, Rock Smash

Elden - Lopunny

[tearsofademon]

Elden Lopunny ♂ LV☆100 Type: Normal Egg Group: Field/Human-like Nature: Modest Ability: Klutz OT: Ryner Lute July 24, 2013: Egg purchased from Laguna Loire August 1, 2013: Egg hatched in Azalea Town June 23, 2014: Evolved into Lopunny

Rose bought this Buneary egg for Ryner, in her infinite wisdom, because she wanted to cheer him up. Apparently, she still hasn't really gotten the message... Having fun is Elden's top priority, and his definition of fun is harmless messy mischief. Rolling toilet paper down the stairs to see how it unfurls. Dumping baking powder into a pile on the floor and rolling in it until his fur is all covered in the stuff. Making a big pile of leaves to jump into... that just so happens to be on top of a big mud puddle. At least he has the decency to clean up after he's satisfied... usually... ::Splash, Pound, Defense Curl, Foresight, Frustration, Quick Attack, Jump Kick, Baton Pass, Agility, Dizzy Punch, Charm, Bounce, Healing Wish, Rototiller, Mirror Coat, Magic Coat, After You, Entrainment, High Jump Kick, Baby-Doll Eyes, Double Kick, Headbutt, Flatter:: Bred: Endure, Toxic, Protect, Return, Rain Dance, Sunny Day, Double Team, Attract, Thunderbolt, Ice Beam, Rock Smash, Sleep Talk, Snore, Thunder Wave, Swagger TM Moves: Hidden Power (Grass), Thunder, Facade, Secret Power, Solar Beam, Focus Blast, Blizzard HM Moves: Strength

Saias - Archeops

[tearsofademon]

Saias Archeops ♂ LV☆100 Type: Rock/Flying Egg Group: Flying/Water 3 Nature: Quiet Ability: Defeatist OT: Ryner Lute August 5, 2013: Revived in Azalea Town at level 12 December 8, 2013: Evolved into Archeops

During the fossil swarm, Ryner ended up fighting this Archen, and when the fossils reverted, somehow it ended up in his bag. He meant to just revive it, apologize, and let it go, but it decided to stay anyway. Saias is admittedly confused by the modern world, but ultimately, it's not a big deal. He likes to keep things simple. Shiny things are good. He likes shiny things, especially brightly colored pebbles. Placing them in patterns and then rolling things through them to scatter them is his favorite game. ::Quick Attack, Leer, Wing Attack, Rock Throw, Double Team, Scary Face, Pluck, Ancientpower, Agility, Quick Guard, Acrobatics, Dragonbreath, Crunch, Endeavor, U-turn, Rock Slide, Dragon Claw, Thrash, Tailwind:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Dark), Sandstorm, Roar, Secret Power, Focus Blast, Dragon Pulse HM Moves: Fly, Rock Smash

Robin - Jellicent

[tearsofademon]

Robin Jellicent ♂ LV☆100 Type: Water/Ghost Egg Group: Amorphous Nature: Brave Ability: Cursed Body OT: Ryner Lute August 22, 2014: Received as an egg from Kayneth El-Melloi Archibald August 30, 2014: Egg hatched in Ecruteak City February 15, 2015: Evolved into Jellicent

Ryner purchased this Frillish's egg from Kayneth, his reason being that it would not only help his friend to clear out part of the large number of eggs he found himself saddled with, but it would also help with SCIENCE. Rose approves. Robin certainly has a lot of charisma. He's friendly, fairly easy-going, and easy to get along with, but just pushy enough to be influential when he wants to be. When he perceives injustice, he does his best to resolve it... though, he's not so good at that, yet. ::Bubble, Water Sport, Absorb, Night Shade, Bubblebeam, Recover, Water Pulse, Ominous Wind, Brine, Rain Dance, Hex, Hydro Pump, Wring Out, Water Spout, Acid Armor, Water Gun, Poison Sting, Shadow Ball, Whirlpool, Destiny Bond:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Grass), Will-O-Wisp, Ice Beam, Secret Power, Blizzard HM Moves: Surf, Waterfall, Dive

Julia - Mienshao

[tearsofademon]

Julia Meowstic ♀ LV☆100 Type: Psychic Egg Group: Field Nature: Serious Ability: Keen Eye OT: Ryner Lute September 1, 2014: Met in Ecruteak City at level 5 December 14, 2014: Evolved into Meowstic

This Espurr and her twin fell from the sky one day, hitting poor Ry the Gyarados on the back as they fell. They were scared and only had each other, and Ryner took pity on them and took them inside to give them something to eat. Grateful for his kindness, they decided to stick around. Unlike her brother, Julia is completely fine being in the spotlight, though she doesn't seek it out. She's grown comfortable with her power, since evolving, and has no problems using it when necessary. ...Necessary being the key word, and she's taken quite swimmingly to Ryner's teachings of overkill being bad. Harper is her brother, and they're extremely close. ::Stored Power, Me First, Magical Leaf, Scratch, Leer, Covet, Confusion, Light Screen, Psybeam, Fake Out, Disarming Voice, Psyshock, Charge Beam, Shadow Ball, Extrasensory, Psychic, Role Play, Signal Beam, Sucker Punch, Future Sight, Reflect:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Ice), Calm Mind, Double Team, Secret Power

Koris - Carbink

[tearsofademon]

Koris Carbink LV☆100 Type: Rock/Fairy Egg Group: Fairy/Mineral Nature: Calm Ability: Clear Body OT: Ryner Lute September 5, 2014: Met in Pewter City at level 5

While Ryner and Sion were on a trip to Pewter to visit the museum, Rose tripped over this Carbink by accident, but it was patched up quickly. Not having seen one of this species before, though, and realizing that her dear partner doesn't have a lot of rock types, Rose invited the Carbink along (without asking Ryner first), and it obliged. Koris likes sitting on top of warm things, and in the middle of fires. No one is quite sure why. But when the stove is on, or a fire is going in the fireplace, you have to keep watch, or suddenly there will be a Carbink just happily sitting in the middle of it. Nothing anyone says seems to dissuade this rock. *Like with the other genderless mons, Ryner refers to Koris as a he. ::Tackle, Harden, Rock Throw, Sharpen, Smack Down, Reflect, Stealth Rock, Guard Split, Ancient Power, Flail, Skill Swap, Power Gem, Stone Edge, Moonblast, Light Screen, Safeguard, Rock Polish, Rock Slide:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Fire), Calm Mind, Toxic, Secret Power

Mur - Delphox

[tearsofademon]

Mur Delphox ♂ LV☆100 Type: Fire/Psychic Egg Group: Field Nature: Naive Ability: Blaze OT: Ryner Lute September 27, 2014: Met in Ecruteak City at level 5 November 16, 2014: Evolved into Braxien February 19, 2015: Evolved into Delphox

Ryner found this Fennekin rooting through his bag, nomming up all the delicious berries he'd gathered within. And of course, the fox decided to tag along, because surely there would be more where that came from. Mur is a bit of a troublemaker. It's not like he means to, most of the time. It's just that he loves chewing sticks, and somehow he sees anything straight and longer than it is wide as a stick, and so he's been known to attack things like tall lamps, broom handles, pencils that are in use, even legs (though these days he's learned not to chew on legs). ::Future Sight, Role Play, Switcheroo, Shadow Ball, Scratch, Tail Whip, Ember, Howl, Flame Charge, Psybeam, Fire Spin, Lucky Chant, Light Screen, Psyshock, Mystical Fire, Flamethrower, Will-O-Wisp, Psychic, Sunny Day, Magic Room, Fire Blast:: TM Moves: Hidden Power (Fighting), Secret Power, Solar Beam
