Wearing: Markings: One antenna is shorter than the other Holding:
Met during 4th Wall (level 8) | May 28th, 2017 Is completely and totally in love with Vanitas. Snapper loves to nuzzle into his hair and cuddle into his sleeping bag with him--which his trainer hates. In this ant-mon's mind, Vanitas is his Queen and thus he will protect his Queen forever and always.
He has a particular hate for Phial because of how in love she is with Vanitas and does everything he can to keep her away.
His rivalry with Phial and some of the others became too much so Vanitas found him a new home with a colony of Durants in the National Park.
Wearing: Markings: Has black feet; has two small white dots at the corner of each eye marking. Holding:
Met in National Park (level 11) | May 30th, 2017 A very rational and tough fighter, Noise ended up as a part of Vanitas's team after an encounter in the National Park. She allowed herself to be caught without much complaint, settling into the group easily. She seems to enjoy Scrapper's presence quite a bit, usually found perched on the Houndoom's back whenever they are traveling.
Since she evolved, Noise has become even more level headed and is usually the one to come up with the tactical plans when the group is on the road. She can no longer perch on Scrapper's back but the two can usually be found sitting together clearly plotting someone's death. She has, in turn, also come to enjoy Remnant's company as well though she seems to detest Flood and Shadow because of how out of control they can be sometimes.
While very devoted to Vanitas, Noise found herself a mate in Mahogany and the pair have since relocated to Lake of Rage.
Wearing: Markings: Has two spots over each eye Holding:
Met in Goldenrod City (level 19) | August 2nd, 2017 Given his success with Scrapper, Vanitas didn't hesitate when the chance arose to catch himself another Houndour. Unlike his guard dog, though, Spite is far more skittish and constantly stopping to check it's surroundings. And he's a little on the chubby side.
He's definitely going to be a work in progress...but hey, at least Scrapper hasn't eaten him.
Despite his obvious paranoia about things, Spite seems to finally be settling in. He's developing an odd friendship with Vanitas's new Litten, both of them equally as...special. The feline can usually be found curled up in a loaf on his back, staring at everything as if waiting for something to attack while Spite just wanders along, ears always perked. You've got to be careful. Never know what's gonna jump out at you.
During the trip to the Christmas Market, Vanitas crossed paths with a young boy that reminded him a lot of someone who he doesn't want to name thank you very much. The little boy was all alone and after talking to him and buying him some cocoa, Vanitas decided to leave Spite and Terror with him, hoping that maybe they could open up around the kid and help him out.
Wearing: Markings: Has a notched left ear; whiskers are darker at ends Holding:
Caught at Mt. Mortar (level 39) | August 21st, 2017 This poor feline was caught in the chaos that happened on Mt. Mortar and ended up being saved(???) by Vanitas. (Honestly it was more like he forced her into a Pokeball in an attempt to calm her the hell down and ended up stuck with her because what was he suppose to do?? Let her go??)
She's a very nervous little thing that startles at the slightest noise, making her a prime target for Vanitas's ghostly duo which is probably why she quickly glued herself to Spite, Vani's Houndour.
The pair seem to take comfort in being equally paranoid, always traveling together when they're out and staring around at everything as if waiting for an attack. Vanitas, while annoyed with them, is willing to at least give them a chance, especially since he knows Terror evolves into a pretty badass fighting cat.

The little boy was all alone and after talking to him and buying him some cocoa, Vanitas decided to leave Spite and Terror with him, hoping that maybe they could open up around the kid and help him out.
Met in Ecruteak City (level 16) | September 28th, 2017 Vanitas hadn't really planned on catching any Pokemon while he was in Ecruteak but that changed the night before he was going to head out again with Yuri. He was jumped on his way back to the hotel they were staying in by a small gang of ghosts who seemed to be led by this hardy little Duskull. Vani and his team easily over-powered the gang and as a punishment of sorts he ended up catching the Duskull--after a few tries since even weakened this little guy put up a hell of a fight.
He hasn't let the Duskull out yet, not sure if he'll try to run or if he'll accept his fate, but hey, he's got a new ghost at least. Flood seems to be particular fond of carrying Glide's Pokeball around or tossing it back and forth with Shadow.
During one of Flood and Shadow's play sessions, Glide broke free and immediately assaulted the pair only to be put in his place rather quickly. Tensions are still high between the trio but there's a begrudging respect there as well and more often than not the ghostly trio can be found huddled together discussing their next move. Glide wasn't, however, pleased about Vanitas heading to Kanto after cutting ties with Team Rocket and ultimately demanded to be traded to a trainer that was heading back to the other region.
Wearing: Markings: Has a crack down it's shell; one of it's hind legs is deformed slightly causing it to walk awkwardly Holding:
Caught at Mt. Mortar (level 32) | August 23rd, 2017 The old man of the group, Calamity was one of the Pokemon that Vanitas encountered while on Mt. Mortar during the Legendary Beast fiasco. At first Vani thought he was going to have to haul the big guy out of there because of how beat up he looked but it turns out that he's just a bit of a war vet or something akin to that. Calamity helped Vanitas and his team herd some other Pokemon out of harm's way and after spending a few hours around the group, opted to stay. He doesn't put up with crap from any of the other Pokemon which has earned him respect from Scrapper and Flood both, the latter in particular rather calm and respectful around him rather than her usual impish self.
He seems to enjoy looking after some of the weaker members of the group, taking Spite, Terror and Toppler under his wing, to speak. He's not really a battler and Vanitas tends not to try to push him into anything but if need be Calamity will throw down with the best of them. The old man can definitely hold his own in a fight which is why none of the other members of Vani's team will attempt to mess with him. Whatever the old man says is law.
While good times had been had with the old man around, it was becoming clear that he wasn't suited for the lifestyle that Vanitas was now leading. After reaching Lavender Town and settling in, Vanitas crossed paths with an elderly couple that took care of the cemetery on the outskirts of town. Normally he wouldn't have engaged them but something about the pair intrigued him enough that he visited them several times over the week he was in Lavender Town and ended up forming a strange bond with them. He offered Calamity to them after the Turtonator seemed to grow fond of Grandma Mary and the couple accepted after making Vanitas promise to visit whenever he was in town. (Little did they know he'd soon be living there.)
Received in Azalea (Fossil) | June 21st, 2017 Revived in Mahogany Town (level 20) | June 22nd, 2017 A happy little creature that puts Toppler to shame. Absolutely nothing seems to bother this adorable little creature that has been brought back to life in the modern world, not even Vanitas's rather psychotic tendencies. She loves to settle down in his lap whenever she gets the chance and just nuzzles at him when he tries to get rid of her.
Having her around is, in turn, helping Toppler settle in better since prior to her revival he was the purest of Vani's lot.
Despite how disgusting happy she is, Vanitas has grown pretty fond of this little girl and she's shown to be pretty dedicated to training, especially when treats are involved. She gets along with just about everyone in the team and plays the role of cheerleader, encouraging everyone to do their best. She's also pretty fond of Yuri, whom her trainer has been traveling with as of late, and loves to just go up to him and lean against his side, chirping and cooing happily at him.
While in Lavender Town, Vanitas made the decision to trade Light for Carriage the Gourgeist, though the guy he traded her to disappeared almost instantly after their finished the trade. Weird...
Wearing: Markings: Tips of it's legs are bright blue; is smaller than breed standard Holding:
Met on Route 43 (level 30) | September 6th, 2017 Vanitas had seen several Dewpiders on his way up Route 43 but it wasn't until his second time through that he actually attempted to catch one.
This little guy had another idea.
Waltzing right up to Vanitas's campsite, the Dewpider started going through the young man's bag. Not even a fiery growl from Scrapper could get this little guy to scamper off and he even outright attacked Flood when the Phantump approached. Afterwards he snagged some poffins and bolted, leading to a chase then resulted in a fight and ultimately got Vanitas a new Pokemon.
He's a bit stubborn about wanting to battle because he's not pleased to be captured but Vanitas has been plying him with Poffins so, slowly but surely, he's winning him over.
Wearing: Markings: Is dark, steel blue in color (As seen here in wild type); is bulkier than normal and has a longer body overall Holding:
Met at Lake of Rage (level 27) | February 6th, 2018 Morph is probably the biggest Mudkip that Vanitas has ever seen and there were a lot of them at Lake Rage. She is a beast of a Mudkip and seems to know how to use her size to her advantage, holding up fairly well in battle when Vanitas first attempted to catch her. Eventually he was able to get her down to 1hp and catch her, immediately letting her out and healing her up so he could properly introduce himself and the team. (Look he's getting better at this okay.) Morph was immediately charmed by the group, and curious to see where this adventure might lead, and really she wasn't that great guys stop it she's huge and bulky and she's nothing special!
Since becoming apart of the group Morph has learned to appreciate herself more, accepting praise from her teammates and learning that her larger than normal size is great! It just means that there's that much more of her to adore and that much more of her to try and beat in a fight and boy is she a tough one to take down. She's quick despite her size and a hard hitter to boot which has caught the attention of Coach the Diggersby. He's taken it upon himself to help train her since he knows a thing or two about being a bulky Pokemon and even Scrapper the Houndoom has been offering advice here and there to help the modest Mudkip hone her skills even more.
