Tallulah is a very special pokemon to Hugh as she was his starter pokemon. Although she was not his first, she is very dear to him and his primary choice when it comes to battling, unless there is a pokemon she would clearly not stand a chance against on the field. He has worked with her tirelessly to make her as strong as she is now, and their bond is incredibly strong. She has the ability Torrent which, when matched with Rain Dance, makes her water-type attacks incredibly powerful, and a good way to quickly get out of a sticky situation. She is decently fast, too, and can move quicker than expected for her size. Outside of battle, though, she is actually rather timid and nervous to meet others unless Hugh consoles her. Her Nevermeltice is generally held between the bridge of her snout and the portion of her shell-helmet that dips down between her eyes.

His first pokemon, Havilah is one of the pokemon Hugh received from his Grandfather all those years ago, and the first he released from its pokeball. This dragon has the ability Levitate which Hugh makes good use of in battle - the ability to avoid being hit by ground-type moves but at the same time being able to use them against the opponent. Though ice types generally pose a threat to Havilah, Hugh has trained her to focus on striking fast and striking hard. Outside of battle he uses her for speedy transportation over relatively short distances. Despite the fact she is one of his more dedicated fighters, she has a soft heart and is almost like the mother figure of the team, particularly towards newer pokemon.

Hugh met Zephyr years ago when he was just a tiny Rufflet that fell from his nest over Village Bridge and into the water below. Hugh's quick thinking and snap-fast reflexes saved the bird pokemon just moments after it hit the water, essentially saving the newborn pokemon from drowning. It was exhausted and an easy capture. Nursing it back to health, Hugh soon developed a strong relationship with the young pokemon, and it turned out to be one of the happiest pokemon on his team. It tries to keep the rest of the team up-beat and will occasionally have an intentionally clumsy moment to make Hugh smirk. Zephyr has the ability Sheer Force and can deliver incredibly powerful hits because of it, making him a key asset in battles that need a strong attacker. Hugh also uses this pokemon for long-distance flights.

The second pokemon his grandfather gave to him, Hugh received Tlaloc as a little Tynamo. It is a very friendly pokemon, and has always been one to try to snuggle with people and pokemon alike. Now that it's an Eelektross it's often rejected by those that don't think its cute or looks sort of odd, but he doesn't let that get him down. He has the ability Levitate which is rather useful when it comes to avoiding powerful ground-type moves in battle. This pokemon plays a mixed role in Hugh's team, and its wide variety of moves often poses a surprise for people who aren't familiar with how he battles. The Expert Belt it holds is wrapped around its neck in a similar fashion to a tie.

Odin was one of the most difficult pokemon for Hugh to capture over the span of his journey. He encountered the pokemon on Mount Coronet of Sinnoh during his time there. It fought a fierce battle and surprised Hugh with its strength. He eventually managed to capture it and it has become a strong asset to his team, as its high speed, strong defense, and brilliant attack are all incredibly helpful in battle. It's wide range of moves make it a mixed bag for the sort of pokemon it can go up against. It is unafraid to take on any pokemon, even fighting-types, and will give his all in a fight. His rare ability Anger Point plays into this well, as his attacks become drastically stronger if he takes more damage than usual from a hit. The usually ill-tempered pokemon respects Hugh as it can see the power and passion he has as a trainer, and it has seen that his trainer is brave as well. The Focus Band is tied around its right foreleg, similar to a polo wrap.

This pokemon is one of Hugh's strongest, and required the least amount of training seeing as Hugh obtained it while it was a Metagross. He saw it get abandoned by its trainer for whatever reason deep within the heart of Mount Coronet. Hugh saw the hiker from a distance throw the pokeball into the water. When Hugh angrily faced the man and demanded to know his reasoning, the hiker acted as though he had no idea what Hugh was talking about. Not bothering to waste his breath, Hugh retrieved the pokeball from the bottom of the small lakebed and released the pokemon. It had seen everything through the pokeball and soon switched its loyalty to Hugh as a debt for saving it. The pokemon is quick to make decisions regarding itself or its environment, particularly in battle. It has the Clear Body ability which serves useful in battle, as its strength or speed can not be reduced by techniques many pokemon have.

Hugh was the first thing this pokemon saw when it hatched. He stumbled upon a nest of some sort in his Sinnoh travels, and quickly became an asset to the second team he trained up in Sinnoh, almost like a second journey. It grew rapidly, soon becoming something like a second starter to Hugh. It sees Tallulah as a rival, and uses her power as a motivation to get stronger for Hugh. Outside of the battle realm, though, this pokemon - which Hugh didn't realize was shiny until it became a Charizard - is relatively relaxed and often likes resting in the shade beneath a tree if possible. In battle, it uses powerful combination attacks - mostly dealing with its fire. Its ability Blaze will activate as well if it begins to grow weak, greatly increasing its firepower (literally). She clutches a Charcoal in his claws during battle.

This vastly rare pokemon appeared to Hugh in White Forest, where he headed once he visited Black City, after he helped a litter of Purrloin climb their way out of a nature-made ditch to get to their mother, who had been running back and forth to get her kits out one at a time, but was clearly tired by the effort. Although he got scratched a few times by the kittens - who had likely never had human contact before - he pulled them out anyway. He placed them on the ground, and the scampered towards their mother, who seemed to nod to him before leading them away. He had been content with his actions and was about to continue on when the Togekiss fluttered out of a tree and floated in circles around him, making a pleased sound and occasionally brushing his jaw with its wing playfully. It sparkled, too, and was the first shiny pokemon Hugh had seen. It appeared to him because it witnessed the kindness he showed the wild pokemon, and soon landed on the ground before him, and simply stared at him expectantly until he realized what it wanted. He caught the pokemon and it didn't struggle, allowing itself to become his pokemon willingly. He took her to Sinnoh with him and trained her there, and she soon became a helpful addition to his team, largely in part to her Serene Grace ability. She wears a Twistedspoon around her neck like a necklace. She is Timid around others, and will rarely approach them unless she senses kindness and a pure heart.

Happy-go-lucky is one word that could describe this Garchomp. It is very friendly, and almost always happy to be out of its pokeball. Sometimes it will even focus more on nosing Hugh's belt to encourage him to let some of his other pokemon out so it can play until it's told the situation it was called into was too serious for play. It's fast and strong, and Hugh didn't waste time training it after he captured it as a Gible in Sinnoh. It's not a pokemon you want to make angry, and every time an enemy pokemon makes physical contact with the Garchomp's skin, they are hurt as well because of its Rough Skin.

He found Isolde as a Snorunt on one of the peaks of the Coronet mountain range, and offered her food rather than letting her continue to scavenge. She soon began following him around and he decided he could do with an ice-type pokemon. She is rather reserved but a very affectionate pokemon. Hugh trained her up significantly from when he first found her before evolving her with a Dawn Stone. She is a very fast and elusive pokemon, using her ability Snow Cloak to her advantage in her summoned hail storms. Being a part ghost-type she can move through solid objects, though only ever on Hugh's command or to play with him. She holds her Icy Rock in both of her hands. She and Azar have a mutual rivalry for Hugh's affection. Although they work together as he commands it, their teamwork could be much better. Occasionally, she will lash her jealousy out against Azar.

A pokemon he actually won in a bet, Hugh first met Orpheus as a Kadabra while battling one of the people he passed on the mountain. He bet that his fighting-type pokemon could defeat a psychic-type, and the cost would be a trade for the Kadabra. The trainer willingly agreed. He pitted his Mienshao against it and won. The combination of a Focus Sash and the move Payback after taking severe damage from a blast of Confusion defeated the Kadabra. The pokemon were traded and in the process Orpheus evolved into an Alakazam. The pokemon were on good terms with their trainers, and Orpheus bears no resentment towards Hugh and works with him willingly. Often times, though, the pokemon appears to underestimate his own ability to deal powerful blows to the opponent. His ability Magic Guard is something Hugh plays to his strength. He has his pokemon hold a Life Orb (in a collar-like fashion around Orpheus' neck) so that it may deal more powerful attacks than usual with no negative return.

The exact opposite of Isolde, Azar is a more serious/dark joker of Hugh's ghost types. While he was exploring the Celestial Tower, a Litwik hovered in front of him and acted as his guide, all the while slowly attempting to suck energy from him. By the time they reached the top of the tower, he told the pokemon to cut it out. Surprised by this, it did and looked at him. The seriousness in his gaze held something that seemed to infatuate the pokemon, and it followed him wherever he went throughout the tower until he finally captured it. He trained it for years, eventually evolving it into a Chandelure. Now, it still holds the same strange infatuation for him and might even get jealous if she sees another pokemon or person trying to get closer to Hugh than she likes. Her ability is Flame Body, which may make her move Hex even more powerful if an opponent is burned upon contact with her. Outside of battle she acts as Hugh's natural flashlight, seeing as her flames never go out. The White Herb is held by one of its arms curled around the herb. She and Isolde have a mutual rivalry for Hugh's affection. Although they work together as he commands it, their teamwork could be much better.

ACCESSING HUGH TREASACH'S PC
BOX ▸ ITEM STORAGE

BOX ▸ MAIN 

taranis, genderless magneton ▸ relaxed analytic electric gem lock-on ▸ zap cannon thunder ▸ flash cannon tri-attack ▸ magnet rise

fiammetta, male volcarona ▸ bold flame body leftovers quiver dance ▸ hurricane solarbeam ▸ morning sun roost ▸ sunny day

Taranis is one of the stronger pokemon on Hugh's team, though not quite in the same playground as Tallulah. He has had this Magneton since the early stages of his journey, and decided it would be a good pokemon to keep for quick access when it single-handedly survived all of Roxie's Gym and defeated her. It has grown into a vastly powerful attacker, even if it doesn't move the quickest. It show's no aversion to battling, but it would much rather relax and watch a battle than take part. Its slow speed plays into its ability, Analytic, which allows it more powerful attacks when it moves last in a battle. Also, it's held Electric Gem sits in the crevice between its three magnet bodies.

Taking a detour in his journey to Relic Castle rather than taking on the Pokemon World Tournament immediately, Hugh quite literally stumbled into this pokemon's underground domain. While exploring the ruins beneath the surface he forced his way through a weakened wall that opened practically on top of the large bug-type pokemon. It didn't hesitate before attacking him, initiating a battle from the get-go. Hugh weakened it with a swift blow before using a Net Ball to capture it easily. The pokemon didn't take long to adjust to life as a member of Hugh's party. Though Hugh didn't use this pokemon in battle as much as others, so it still has room to grow compared to more commonplace members of his team, it can still pack a punch if needed. He also finds the pokemon's Flame Body quite helpful in incubating the eggs of pokemon he receives.

BOX ▸ TRAIN 

phoenix, male zweilous ▸ gentle hustle eviolite outrage ▸ fire fang draco meteor ▸ ice fang dragon pulse ▸ thunder fang

ramlah, male volcarona ▸ sassy guts lum berry dragon dance ▸ outrage iron head ▸ earthquake crunch ▸ hyper beamy

A pokemon with a temperament quite opposite of what's expected of its species, Hugh came across this pokemon in Victory Road. He had set up camp deep in the heart of the winding cave passage for the night and woke in the wee hours of the morning to the two-headed pokemon trying to nose its way into his tent in search of food. Though he tried to bite him initially out of fear when he moved quickly upon waking up, an offer of food soon won the Dragon-type over. He has remained in his PC for a while since Hugh caught him, having dedicated more time to training his main party than her. Occasionally, he will let Phoenix out around his house so long as his gentle nature stays. Every once in a while he'll chase wild pokemon out of the Treasarch's' yard. He knows how to Hustle when needed. One head holds the Eviolite in its mouth at a time.

Hugh captured this little pokemon the first time he travelled to Black City. He rummaged through the grasses beneath the overpass in hopes of training, and found this young pokemon rather out-of-place compared to the much stronger pokemon he'd been encountering. He captured it after his conscience nagged him enough to tell him it would most likely be hurt if it accidentally strayed into one of the stronger pokemon's territory. He hasn't trained this little guy much, and instead he's mostly stayed in Hugh's PC. Given the chance, though, he would endure a long battle with his Guts.

AT DAYCARE 

dzvezda, female eevee ▸ naive anticipation leichi berry wish ▸ protect attract ▸ dig quick attack ▸ bite

vladimir, male eevee ▸ modest adaptability ganlon berry swift ▸ hyper voice endure ▸ secret power facade ▸ iron tail

The baby of Hugh's pokemon, he received Dzvezda as an egg while journeying through Sinnoh. It hatched when he reached the first peak of the Coronet mountain range under the starry night sky, hence its name. She is still young an naive to most of the things that go on around her, but she can still battle. She's not nearly as strong as a pokemon like Tallulah or Ganzorig, but she can hold her own in a fight with pokemon more her strength and age. She is very insightful, and her ability Anticipation makes her shudder whenever she senses a potentially dangerous move in the opponent. Being a baby still, she has protector figure in Hugh. She loves to sleep in bed with him at night, often times starting beside him then winding up on his chest. She is currently being kept at the Unova Daycare alongside her brother, Vladimir, to train and become strong enough for this dangerous world.

AT HOME 

nero, male granbull ▸ hardy intimidate magnet mimic ▸ crunch outrage ▸ earthquake attract ▸ thunderpunch

noel, male delibird ▸ docile hustle sitrus berry present ▸ bestow fly ▸ pluck frustration ▸ double team

Clearly an Intimidating pokemon, there's a number of wild pokemon (weaker ones, mind you) that have fled simply by looking at Nero's face. He's nicer than he looks, but that doesn't mean he's a softie. Compared to some of Hugh's pokemon, there's a good deal of room for him to train and become stronger, but for what battles he's sent in to he can generally take a hit and dish them out. He holds a Magnet around his neck like a necklace. Presently he stays ready-for-action at Hugh’s home in case Aspertia is targeted by the Knights once more.

This pokemon was rummaging the peaks of the Coronet Mountains when it spotted Hugh. To this day, Hugh doesn't know why it followed him around squaking as much as it did, even when he was trying to sleep. It usually stood over him and stared at him, occasionally squawking if Hugh appeared to drift off. It has Insomnia. He doesn't know what to do with it so it stays at home as well with Nero for the same purpose. Since it sits on his house's roof basically all day and watches the town, he hopes that it will be useful as a kind of alarm if it sees anything.

ON PERSON AT ALL TIMES 

cobalion, genderless cobalion ▸ naive justified expert belt aerial ace ▸ sacred sword stone edge ▸ volt switch hyper beam ▸ hidden power (ice)

Obtained by Hyu in this thread. Cobalion and Hyu have more of a partnership based off of mutual respect and the shared will to do good in the world to end this war. It has an Expert Belt tied around its neck, a gift from Hyu, to assure strength. Cobalion is a very serious and justified pokemon, as expected of the 'leader' of a trio. It has a strong dislike of humans, especially because of this war. Chances are that unless you're Hyu, or somebody Hyu asked Cobalion to protect, you should stay about two arm's length away. It's glare is enough to make strong and unruly wild pokemon obey it. Cobalion resides in a Luxury Ball, in Hyu's attempt to make the Legendary pokemon's stay comfortable. He intends to release Cobalion to the wild when all is said and done. Cobalion remains on Hyu's person at all times, and has (though has yet to demonstrate) the ability to break out of its pokeball if needed. Cobalion and communicate telepathically, though eye contact is required to do so.
