Fosho,, I'll take the Koffing and the Cyndaquil. I'm still working on their personalities, meanwhile I'll throw up Pancham and Absol so that I can officially finish them up. Thanks!


Motou the Pancham - Male - Iron Fist
Despite his adolescence, Motou is a strange Pokémon in the sense that he is particularly "old-spirited"; he is known to be exceptionally lackadaisical when unmotivated, yet he boasts a level of wisdom that is far beyond his years. Unlike his kinfolk, Motou is somewhat of a hermit and appreciates the blissful preference of silence, which can be attributed to his lazy demeanor. Motou's elderly resemblance is even visible in his physical stature; when he's moving from one place to another, he tends to hold his hands together at his rear with his frame bent over and slouched, but when he finally comes to a halt, he instantly plops down to a cross-legged position with his arms folded across his chest. Not that he considers his disorder a vulnerability, Motou also suffers from narcolepsy, meaning he's prone to falling asleep randomly, even in the midst of battle. Disinterested in almost everything the world throws at him, Motou is not one to be called "friendly" and hates being bothered during meditation or while enjoying his solitude, hence why his face is usually drenched in annoyance to dissuade social interactions. For those who are persistent, Motou is not afraid to resort to violence to get his point across that he is to be left alone. His biggest pet-peeve and the easiest method to push him over the edge is to awaken him prematurely from his sleep, in which he will unhesitatingly unleash an explosion of rage that is quite frightening. On the bright side, Motou respects fighting prowess and came to join Zetsumei's team for this exact reason. Motou's sluggish behavior is not to be confused for weakness, as he's shown to be quite formidable and strong in combat. Lastly, Motou enjoys sipping green tea and is very prideful about his lifestyle and capabilities.


Kaoru the Absol - Male - Pressure
Flamboyant and narcissistic, Kaoru is the "prima donna" of the squad, relishing the spotlight and doing whatever he can to snatch the awareness of everyone around him. Somewhat of an entertainer by nature, Kaoru does not care even slightly about the legend of his species, and believes he is a beautiful and elegant Pokémon that deserves to have the world in the palm of his hand. While he's certainly much too self-absorbed for his own good, Kaoru is actually pretty outwardly-benevolent (to a degree), because how else would he be able to meet and enchant those into recognizing his greatness? Just as stated before, Kaoru is completely in-tune with his inner "diva", and possesses traits and bodily expressions that causes him to be confused with the opposite sex frequently. Another example of his femininity is his attraction towards fragrances and smelling different scents in general, though he prefers the aroma of bouquets and women the most. On the outside, he's a lighthearted flower-boy, but there is undoubtedly a darker side to him, evident in his sadomasochistic and bloodthirsty attitude during combat. His acceptance of pleasure-from-pain is most likely due to his obsession with being the center of attention, while his savage fighting style is a result of his desire to be portrayed as the best. Furthermore, Kaoru's warped sense of humor explains how he came to be integrated into Zetsumei's team, although he only cared to join them so that he could travel and discover new places. In spite of his aristocratic and entitled beliefs, Kaoru still acknowledges his peers for their competence, idolizing Luna for her elegance and his master for his toughness and battle expertise.

Next up, Sumoki and Nuka!


Sumoki the Koffing - Male - Levitate
Known for their vacant and simple personalities, Sumoki is barely different from his Koffing brethren, an air-headed youngster that is both hazardous and not-intimidating at the same time. Easily-distracted and innocent-at-heart, Sumoki is the type of Pokémon to cheer from the sidelines rather than dive into the thick of conflict. However, despite his fear of being involved in dangerous situations and confrontations, Sumoki loves adventures and considers them to be "fun", even if the ride was terrifying from start to end. His inability to learn from his mistakes contributes to this fact and is also the reason why he's a very difficult creature to teach. During training and battle, Sumoki tends to act dopey and incompetent, but that does not mean he is incapable of putting up a fight or even coming out victorious. For him, "dumb-luck" attributes to a large amount of his achievements. Though it's not below him to pretend to be confident and powerful in order to impress his master and friends, Sumoki usually ends up running away and shaking uncontrollably out of distress, revealing his true self. His feeble nature is what caused him to joined Zetsumei's team in the first place, because he was afraid of the consequences of defying the gangster. Due to his cowardliness, Sumoki is also a habitual liar, and will not hesitate to lie in order to save himself from scrutiny or harm. Furthermore, Sumoki is an overly-inquisitive soul, in which his curiousness occasionally leads to him provoking unwanted trouble. A jokester that is humored by mischievous acts such as instigating or crying wolf, Sumoki is not a Pokémon to be taken seriously, and is more likely to be seen dancing around in his own fumes than being the threatening force that Zetsumei demands him to be.


Nuka the Cyndaquil - Female - Blaze
Extremely unhinged and one that anyone would be safe to keep their distance from, Nuka is a hot-headed and psychopathic rodent who loves violence and everything that has to do with fire, whether it be the bitter smell of smoke, the sight of a glorious blaze, or the crisp touch of her charred surroundings. Apathetic and obsessed with appeasing her pyromaniac tendencies, Nuka is a complete nightmare to interact with both inside or outside of a fight. Constantly on the hunt for alcohol, the intoxicating beverage is Nuka's only deterrent from attempting to burn the world to nothing. Just as her given name implies, Nuka is a bomb that is very prone to detonating, and she will not desist and calm down unless she's defeated, exhausted, or being influenced by alcohol. Nuka is so enchanted by liquor that she would rather drink than consume actual food, in which she usually has to be tricked into eating by mixing it with booze. Ironically, Nuka does not understand the definition of the word "chill", and takes great pleasure in combat and blood-pumping altercations. Though Zetsumei respects Nuka for her over-confident and antagonistic behavior, their relationship still has plenty of growth, as she hates being controlled and prefers to do whatever the hell she wants. During a Pokémon battle, time is on Nuka's side, as she's known to get more fired-up the longer a confrontation goes on, increasing her desire to dominate her opponents. The social outcast of the team due to her malignant temper and recklessness, this does not grieve Nuka, as she only cares about numero-uno, and can regularly be identified by her maniacal laughter and destructive noise-making. Nuka's reason for joining Zetsumei's company is actually rather simple: they both love drinking alcohol. Truly insane in the membrane, Nuka is a loose cannon that is best kept in her Poké Ball.

2x spawns for the week, please!
