I am not on AO3, and do not plan to make an account because truth be told I am terrible at writing out/updating full stories, so I am unlikely to actually write the fic myself. But it's been in my head for a while so I thought I would post an abriveted version here to see what people think.

So the premise is that it's Dipper and Mabel's first winter break since their parents split. The parents custody agreement lets the kids pick who they spend the holiday with this year. To get out of the crazy tug-o-war match their parents were playing with them, both twins said they want to go back ​to Gravity Falls. Stan and Ford have come for the holidays as well.

It starts with everyone doing their own thing. Abulita is cooking. Soos and Melody are decorating the shack and making weird and supposedly "holiday themed" attractions. Ford is off in the woods hunting winter anomalies. Stan is sleeping in his chair, yelling random things whenever he gets woken up. After Weirdmageddon Wendy's family decided against apocalypse training this year. Instead they are busy chopping down trees and carving logs into wooden totems, figures, and toys for towns folks. Everybody plans to meet up at Mugucket's place for a "Yippidy Big Hoedown celebration" that he is throwing. Advertisement says that the gates will not close for anyone.

Mabel has spent the past couple days making holiday craft gifts with Candy and Grenda and the day before the party they are both to busy to come over, so she finally has a chance to buy supplies and work on their gifts. Dipper has bought most of his gifts, but he is stuck on what would be the perfect gift to get for Wendy, so he goes to the store with Mabel to look for ideas. While walking back to the shack they run into Pacifica and Lazy Susan who are both carrying large cardboard boxes. Pacifica shouts something along the lines of "Hey look what blew into town", before heading over to them. Mabel and Dipper say "hey" and ask her what is in the boxes. Pacifica and Lazy Susan set the box down and there are 7 cats and kittens between the two. Pacifica says that she has started volunteering at the animal shelter with Lazy Susan, and things are getting pretty crowded. They are hoping to find these guys homes for the holidays. Dipper and Mabel want to help.

Pacifica and Lazy Susan explain to them that the box with 4 cats (1 adult 3 kittens) are strays who there just aren't enough room for to stay at the shelter long term, and the other box has 3 (2 adults 1 kitten) that the shelter has been struggling to find homes for as they are frequintly rejected by adopters. In that box sits a one eyed, large toothed, messy pelted, void. A ginger cat with an abnormailty: two tails instead of one (this cat can possibly fly by spinning its tails, but only when no one is looking), and a white furred blue eyed kitten. The white kitten climbs out of the box to pounce on Dipper's shoe and rubs against him when he goes to pick it up. Dipper takes an immediate liking to this kitten and asks why it's having a hard time getting chosen. Lazy Susan tells Dipper that the kitten is completly deaf.

While Dipper is looking deaf kitten Mabel is looking at the one eyed void. Pacifica says adopters are scared of him after Bill. Mabel then shoots up saying she knows someone who likes scary stuffy, before running into a shop. She comes back a few minutes later dragging Robbie by the arm; Tambry is following behind them. Robbie says that he does not want a cat as a pet. He already has his tarantula, and cats and spiders don't get along. Mabel doesn't give up though. She asks Robbie if his parents like cats. He admits that "they do". She tells him that he should get the cat as a present for his parents. It would be ​a great mascot for their service, could catch any mice or rats in their house (Robbie demands to know how Mabel knows they have mice). Then tells a white lie to Robbie that "just for him" the cat is half off the regular adopters fee (Pacifica had told them all the rejected cats were) "if he and Tambry make and send out a post about the cats looking for homes". Tammy tells Robbie they should get the cat because they need a gift for his parents. His tarantula stays inside his room, so as long as he keeps his door shut the cat won't find it. Robbie and Tambry agree to her deal.

We then get a montage of the twins trying to convince different people to adopt the cats. Dipper has no luck. He takes the 2 tailed one into the forest to see Grunkle Ford and asks him to adopt it. He says weird, which makes it like he and Grunkle Ford. Then Dipper asks if Ford knew that in many ancient cultures ship crews brought cats on board as pest control and good luck charms. Ford tells Dipper that luck is superstion and he does not think Stan would agree to have a weird cat on the boat with them. Then he turns back to his hunt.

Dipper asks Soos and Melody if they would adopt one of the cats. But they tell him that they cannot afford two vet bills, what with Gompers getting older and starting to have more needs. Dipper goes to Mgucket thinking that since he is rich and loves animals they can convince him to adopt all the cats. Mgucket likes the cats and starts to say yes, but Tate comes down and says that they have enough pets, after his dad brought all the stray animals from the dump to live with them. So Dipper needs to take the cats away. Mgucket frowns but agrees with Tate.

Mabel however is really good matching people and pets. She gets Nate and Lee to adopt a pair of kittens that they see wrestle. Blubs and Durland adopt a kitten that she holds up to their faces and tells them how it needs a couple of dads. ​​​​Lastly she gets Toby Determined to adopt an adult cat after brutally telling him that no makeover will convince Sandra Hortenez to date him, but hey studies show that cats improve loneliness. Pretty soon they are left with just the two tailed cat and the deaf ​kitten, which they end up taking with them to the party at Mguckets. Maybe they can find adopters there.

At the party Stan comes up to Dipper and says that he heard Dipper tried to sell Ford a mutant cat, and Ford told him no. Dipper nods. Stan then says that he is disappointed at Dipper for giving up a sale after only the first hesitation. Then he says that he actually has no issues bringing a only sorta freaky cat on his and Ford's sailing adventures. Next Mgucket comes bounding up to Dipper saying that because of him he keeps thinking about all those animals in the shelter, and if he cannot offer them a home then he wants to at least offer them a meal. So he is going to write a huge check to the animal shelter to buy food and beds for the animals. Lastly Soos and Melody come up to say that they think its really great that the twins are taking an interest in helping homeless pets. They want to set up a donation sign and collection box at The Mystery Shack for the shelter now.

Mabel and Pacifica (she is with them at the party) start jumping up and down​, Pacifica runs to go tell Lazy Susan, and Mabel tells Dipper that this proves he did a good job asking the right people about the cats. Dipper looks at the white kitten who is all that is left now, starts petting it, and sadly laments that he could not find it a home. Mabel says that since Dipper likes this kitten they should take it home with them. Dipper reminds her ​how mad their parents were when she brought Waddles home. Mabel reminds him that their parents calmed down once they learned Waddles was fully hosue trained, and that since she got him registered as an emotional support pet the landlords have to be fine with him too. What if they say that the kitten is Dippers emotional support pet. Dipper thinks about it for a moment then says that between honners class he is taking, and the two clubs he joined to improve his social life, and looking for oddities around their home town he does not have enough time for a pet.

I have been making pokemon teams for characters from other cartoons for I think around 3 years now. I have fun with this game. I did Steven Universe some point in the first year, but I never really liked the teams I picked for the charcters back then. Neither did that many fans, whom I do not blame. I look at my old list and am like "These are wrong" and then "I could remake this and do a much better job".

Well I have time now, we are doing pride fests where I live, and a friend at work has been talking to me about how much her teen and the teen's partner like watching Steven Universe together, which has gotten me thinking about the show again. So to wrap it all up here is my new version of "Pokemon teams for the Characters from Steven Universe".

I made a post with a few weeks ago with pokemon teams that I thought would be good for Anya and her school friends once they trun 10. That was a lot of fun and I wanted to continue, so I made pokemon teams for the adults. When I did the kids in had three rules for their teams: they had to have a starter, a dog, and could only have one pokemon from a mega line. When I made the adults teams I tried to figure out some rules for helping me narrow down teams, but actually found I did not need any. They all have pretty distinct personalities, and it was easy enough to find 6 pokemon that fit them by just saying "what would they like?" and "who would be helpful to them". The only real rule for this group was"no shiny pokemon". Shiny pokemon are great, I love them. But 4-5 of these characters have secret lives/identities, and carrying a very rare and noticeably different than normal looking pokemon could expose them. So "no shiny pokemon".

Fair warning this post may spoil some things for anime only fans, or manga fans not caught up through mission short #18

One of my favorite games to play is to take the characters from cartoons outside of the pokemon anime and build teams of pokemon for them. I am really into SpyxFamily right now, so I wanted to play using the kids in it. Yeah I know in current cannon the kids are all only 6 (Anya is actually 5). I am setting this game 4 years in the future. Let's pretend that when Eden students reach age 10 their is the option for the school to pair them with a starter pokemon (let's say that starters from each region are available) and then they can go on journeys and build teams during semester breaks. Coming back with full cases of badges/ribbons/key chains or tournament trophies can be another way of earning stella stars.

Here are the rules I used when designing the teams

1.) Each student does get a starter pokemon, and I figured I would nice this time around, so I had all the kids be able to level original partner pokemon up to their finale evolutions.

2.) Everybody got a dog pokemon on their list. The first 3 kids I did were Anya, Becky, and Damian and they all have pets dogs. While looking at dog pokemon to be Bond, Wiesel, and Max I also found dogs that worked well for other character too. Doggies for everyone

3.) The kids each get a maximum of 1 pokemon capable of mega evolution, or 1 pokemon that will be capable of mega evolution once they raise it its finale evolution.

4.) I do not like giving characters fully evolved teams. I like when pokemon have the option to grow and progress with their trainer, so there will be some pokemon on each team that the kids are not done raising/training yet.

So to recap the B plot of the Christmas episode Patience and Trevor Spend Christmas making out together. Trevor doesn't want a serious relationship with Patience, and to his relief she tells him the next day that they are from separate worlds and she doesn't think it would work. Trevor pretends to feel bad to Patience face, but he really doesn't. The next night he and Sass are playing with a scratch-and-sniff sticker (flowers good idea) in the kitchen, and Patience comes back to the manor. Patience tells Trevor that she hasn't stopped thinking about him, and she wants to bridge their separate worlds by introducing him to her friends: the others. We see the silhouettes of 3 new characters step out of the shadows. From their silhouettes it appears that there is 1 man and 2 women.

Before we start let me say that I do not expect any of these characters to ever move topside and became main characters. I do not really want that since the show already has 10 main characters. But secondary/guest characters are a revolving door on the show and I see no reason to think we will not get 1-2 episodes of these 3 now, with the potential for them to come back and visit at a later date. Also what I am posting isn't necessarily what I think is most likely to happen it is just a wouldn't it be cool if this did happen

1.) Wouldn't it be cool if the one guy ghost turned out to be Thomas Woodstone. Hetty's son, Alberta's murderer. Making him a ghost on the property has a lot of potential. We would get Alberta getting to confront him on her poisoning. Hetty would get to see and speak with her son again. Someone on Tumblr got me curious about what Thomas and Sam's relationship would be like since he is her ancestor too, and it would be Hetty's biological son and her surrogate daughter meeting. Lastly wouldn't it be cool if at some point in the future Thomas was topside during an episode when Elias came around to cause trouble. Which parent would Thomas side with?

Now on how Thomas got underground. He dated a mob guy and did not accept their break up, killed the women Al Capone was obsessed with, and inherited some unlawful businesses from his parents, so I could see him having enemies that maybe buried him. But another theory, what if Hetty put him there? He died an old man in his bed at Woodstone. Hetty had told the other ghosts she wanted a private word with her son before his soul ascended, so they agreed to not be in the room at the time. That was all Hetty wanted, but then Thomas turned into a ghost. Hetty then becomes afraid of Thomas meeting the other ghosts and what will happen when it eventually comes out that he killed Alberta. So in desperation she hides Thomas in the dirt, just until she can come up with a way to neatly explain everything. Maybe Thomas still came back secretly at first and he and Hetty got to spend time together, but then he stopped visiting and Hetty thought he just got lost underground.

My only stipulation for this is that I do not want him to be introduced as a new love interest for Issac. I would say that at this point, with how long Nigel and Issac have been broken up and the lack of interest that either have shown in getting back together, that it is fine to give Issac a new love interest. But it doesn't need to be Thomas Woodstone. (Narrativly it would make the most sense for Issac to develop feelings for a male basement ghost. He has spent a significant part of the season trying to bond with and win approval from that group. Give that arc a reason outside of a completely bogus "election"). No if Thomas comes up I want Alberta to get to yell at him, make him say sorry, possibly get a few swings in. After that let him spend some time with his mother before he goes back into the dirt. Maybe it turns out that he is actually bi and is in a relationship with one of the other two female dirt ghosts If only because that might make Hetty feel better about her son living in the dirt.

2.) Wouldn't it be cool if one of the girl dirt ghosts was a former friend/lover of Thor's. Some people have wanted to explore the possibility of a dirt ghost being a ghost that the topside ghosts used to know and thought had been sucked off. Thor has been around the longest, and he has the most colorful dating history: he was married when alive, took part in orgy's, has had at least 3 serious girlfriends since dying, as well as an unknown number of flings (Nancy, Carol, etc ...). Right now Thor is happily in love with Flower, and I am not trying to break them up. I do not think Thor would ever even consider going back to an ex based on how much he loves Flower. But it is pretty common and interesting for us to get looks into Thor's past by bringing in ghosts that Thor used to know. There is an opening spot in that area since we won't be seeing Bijorn until the Farnsby's move back. Plus I would actually really like to see how Flower, polyamory loving, what is jealousy Flower, would react to meeting someone from Thor's life before her.

3.) Wouldn't it be cool if Sass started dating on of the girl dirt ghosts?. This one is the one I find most possible. Again, before anyone gets into it I did really like Joan, and I would love it if Joan comes back in the next 1-2 episodes and gives Sass a really good reason for not visiting when she said she would. If she never comes back then I do hope that Pete eventually goes looking for her and comes back with word that she got sucked off... (I honestly care less about if that is true than I do about Sass getting that closure and the other ghosts to stop mocking him). But seriously Sass deserves so much better than how the writers treated his character in season 4, and so far in season 5 they are not doing better. They said in season 4 that they wanted to explore Sass being in a real relationship for the first time in his life. Then we had all that crap about him getting made fun of for being a virgin. Lastly it ends with Joan supposedly really liking Sass, only to mysteriously ghost him after the first time they are intimate? No, writers no. Bad writers. Do what you said you would and put Sass in a real relationship. Not a one night stand or week long fling like before.

I love making Pokemon teams for characters from other cartoons. It is s lot of fun. I have held off on Scooby Doo for a while because its not just one cartoon, or even one cartoon and a movie. It is a multiple cartoons spanning multiple decades and has a couple dozen movies. To truly do The Mystery Gang justice I would have to pull from multiple sources when making there teams . Now I very willing to do that, but I wanted to practice a bit more as i tackled less...broad franchises first. I decided last summer that I was ready to make teams for the Scooby Doo Franchise (I have already done so many other Cartoons and was not ready to stop), and that around Halloween would be a fun time to release them.

To make this teams list I used Character traits from the classic Scooby Doo Cartoon, What is New Scooby Doo, A Pup Named Scooby Doo, Scooby Doo Mystery Incorporated, Be Cool Scooby Doo, and many of the older animated movies

As always I made a couple rules to help with picking the teams, and this time I really only have 2.

1.) All of Scooby's pokemon are canines. In the past I have left the group mascot off the list and just given every member a pokemon similar to the mascot to represent that characters relationship with the mascot. But Scooby Doo is more than a pet/mascot. He is as active on his team as any other member, and he deserves to be a trainer just as much as his five friends. I did all canine pokemon to give Scooby a sort of mixed pack that run with him at the lead.

2.) Because in addition to solving solving mysteries this gang also like to search for ghosts, ghouls, and other creatures of darkness each team had to have at least one ghost type pokemon as well as one dark type pokemon. Those would clearly be be favorite typing among the gang.

Now lets get to the teams below

Here is Mega Raichu Y

It's probably actually a Pikachu. Someone fed Pikachu berries after midnight, which we all know your not supposed to do, and it transformer into very mischievous gremlin. There are reports coming in that its former sweet temperament has been electrocuted strait out of its tiny body. It now charges opponents head on and follows a shock first ask question later mentality. IF you see Mega Raichu do not approach it unless you are wearing rubber gloves and protective clothing. If it lets you get close to it offer it some berries or pokefood (only do so during safe hours) then back away to a distance and wait for it to finish eating and decide to come to you. With luck its new form will be ready to time out by then, and it will now see you as endearing for taking care of it.

Here is Mega Raichu X

On the edge of the country a white pod seemingly fell from space at a great speed, and crashed into the dirt and ground below. When the smoke cleared a few brave locals forced the front of the pod open and looked inaide. A colony of Raichu scampered out and hurried off into the wilderness. Scientist came as early as the next day to take the pod away for testing. In shocking news the Pod has been revealed to have been created by the Saiyans who once inhabited the former planet known as Planet Vegeta. Whats more since this discovery there have been frantic phone calls of shocking claims of wild Raichu turning gold, floating into the air, and gaining enhanced strength to wear they can easily take down much bigger opponents. That is right people. The Raichu form this pod, Raichu X, are in fact Super Saiyan Raichu. Officials advise that Should you see a Super Saiyan Raichu X in person, you are to remain calm, hand over any food you have on you, and do not attempt to catch said pokemon or engage it in battle unless you are in possession of a high level ground or rock type pokemon

But for real I saw Raichu's two new mega forms (That makes 4 forms for Raichu. I guess gamefreak heard the fans who said to give it more love) and these were my thoughts on the little zappy mice. All things considered these designs are pretty cut & fun looking. I personally prefer X's design, as I do not understand why Y has those antenna's. Welcome to the most exploited line in pokemon history little mice. Will we you in just the games? The games and the anime? Toys? Only time will tell .

One of my favorite games on tumblr is to make pokemon teams for characters from other cartoons. A few months ago I made a post for Xiaolin showdown. I gave a the four dragon monks plus jack teams of six, and then picked teams of three for seasonal villains: Wuya, Chase, and H.R.B. Making the list allowed me to spend a lot of time thinking over different traits and characteristics that made me love these characters so much as a kid. It was a lot of fun to make. It also let me found out that there is still an active fandom for Xiaolin Showdown on Tumblr. All this prompted me to make a continuation of my post. So I gave the three big villains full teams, plus I picked teams for 4 smaller characters in the show. Lastly while I have only seen like 3-4 episodes of Xiaolin Chronicles I did make a team for Ping Pong, and once I did him I kinda felt like I had to do Shadow. They are at the end of my list. I also put a link to my first list at the bottom for anyone who wants to check out the teams I picked for Omi, Kimiko, Raimundo, Clay, and Jack

Review of my rules

1) Team Formation: I carried the 2-2-1 formula (2 fighting types, 2 element based types, and 1 mega) that I made for the 4 monks and Jack over on this list and used it for Ping pong and Jermaine. Yes Jermaine is on this list. Going over his character helped me pick an element for him. Chase Young, Master Monk Guan, and Master Fung all have a 2-1 formula (2 fighting 1 mega). Master Fung does not wield an element. While Chase and Guan's are hinted to have once been elemental dragons, we are never told what their elements where. Besides it seems like they stopped using there elements after their "break up" anyway. I did not really have a formula for Wuya, H.R.B, or Shadow. I just picked pokemon that I consider to fit them.

2.) Still no dragon types: On my first list I talked about how important it was to me to give each of the monks teams that were equal. On this one many of the characters have significant relationships with Chase Young, who's diet is well known to include dragons, and I do not want to think about any pokemon getting eaten. Plus Master Fung is on here. Dojo would never allow any other dragons in Master Fung's life. So Yeah I still had to exclude dragon types.

3.) Mega forms that come out during Legends ZA do not count as mega pokemon on this list . I chose all my teams before ZA started releasing new mega forms, and I did not want characters to have more than 1 mega pokemon. I already know that ZA will mess that up. But rather than go through the hassle of replacing any pokemon that get megas in the future, I am just going to disregard those forms for my XS lists. Okay? Okay, lets move one

Pokemon Teams for the big Villains

Wuya is mostly a ghost type trainer, for obvious reasons But I threw on witch and a couple ground pokemon. . I wonder... was the ancient "Dashi Trio" ever a quartet? If we had gotten a season 4 would Chase have been reveled to have actually been the second member to turn bad?

Murkrow: I have been helpfully informed that Wuya's name means "crow" so she lets give her a crow pokemon. Murkrow also like to steal shiny objects to give to their masters. Wu are shiny, and Wuya would appreciate the gifts.

Lampent: a sinister light figure that will hover over Wuya's head when she has a plan; and the heads of her lackeys as this manipulative and opportunistic hag fills their heads with evil ideas.

Hisuian Typhlosion: So credit where credit is due. @pokemontheywouldhave originally suggested this one. Ascetically it was just to perfect for me not to use: the typing, the ferocity, the elegance, the purple and red flame colors. Wuya would have a Hisuian Typholsion. She just would.

Galarian Yamask & Golurk: A reference to the Mask Wuya wears as ghostly hag. I went with the Galarian form, because I feel it suits her better than the Unovian one (The picture is on it is of the serpents Tail. Bring Wuya the Serpents Tail, as well as the reversing mirror, and she will reward you).

Golurk: Wuya is extremly skilled at commanding Golem. But making them requires a level of magic/power she is not always able to be at. ... Wouldn't it be useful to her to have at least 1 ready made and powerful golem for when she herself is not at her full power. Enter Golurk

Hatterene: Physically here we have a full on chaotic witch, with the slim figure and all the hair. Hatterene is also capable of increasing its power by Gigamaxing. Wuya at her full power is able to Gigamax her Hatterene, and then the pair go from simply skilled&dangerous opponents to being much much more than that.

Hannibal Roy Bean

Like with Clay I gave Hannibal Bean a western themed teams. But unlike Clay's honest looking and cute a goof way critters. Hannibal team are outlaws that would pose for and autograph their own wanted posters

Ditto: Hannibal Roy Bean's trademark Shen gong Wu is the Moby Morpher. It allows him to change his shape and size, and spy on any adversary. But even with the Moby Morpher Hannibal can only be in one place at once. IF he had a shape shifting pokemon of a similar power then he could send it to spy on his Heylin foes, while he spy's on the temple, or vice versa. That sounds very helpful for information gathering.

Musharna: One of Hannibal's favorite manipulation tactics is to invade a trgets subconscious. He did it to Raimundo, to Omi, and while I cannon doesn't confirm it, he somehow knew the existence and strength of Chase's insecurities. Musharna is a pokemon that would be very helpful to The Bean when it comes to messing with the inside of others heads

Ekans: Hannibal and Ekans. Two snakes in the grass.

Mandabuzz: No I am not giving him a pokemon to replace Yin-ying. He still has her, and she is still his favorite pet. But with how much he loves birds he would probably have at least a couple bird pokemon. Mandabuzz is scary and mean looking. Also Raimundo has a Braviary. Rai having a heroic bird and Bean breath here having the villainous counter point fits with the rivalry the show tried to give them.

Hisuian Decidueye: While Hannibal is not a xiaolin martial artist he does fight enough for him to have at least 1 fighting type pokemon. Design wise Hisuian Decidueye is the most "Outlaw" looking fighting type pokmon, so I pick it

Wo-Chien: I usually do not give legendary pokemon to trainers, because they usually feel to strong for your average protag an antag. But given Hannibal and Chase's age, power, and history, they both seem like they would be strong enough trainers to have an element of ruin. For Hannibal Bean I chose Wo-Chien. Its a giant form of a small creature, that holds grudges. A good fit

Chase Young

Chase Young. What's there to say except that he was everybody's favorite good dragon gone bad.

Gallade: I must say it was very interesting to put Gallade on a villains team. One thing people loved about Chase is that despite fighting on the side of evil Chase insists on fighting challengers fairly. I always considered it to be more out of his sense of pride (if you have to cheat to win then you're weak and you know it) than any lingering sense of right and wrong still in him. But whatever his reason Chase and Gallade both fight with a code that they do not break. I could see Chase possibly mega evolving his Gallade in certain battles

Toxicroak: Toxicroak's pokedex talks about how quickly it it can change from lazily lounging around relaxing, to pummeling opponents with a fury of quick moves. This is really similar to Chase who time and time again could be shown quietly training, or making polite small talk to an opponent as he eats, only to immediately shift into battle mode, and sometimes into his reptile form, when it suited him.

Pyroar (female): We know Chase is a big cat person with a fondness for the jungle kind. Just like with Hannibal Bean and Ying-Ying I am not trying to take his army or warriors away from him. The narrative does lead us to believe that they all swore eternal loyalty to him. I am just adding a few pokemon to his army. Pyroar fits his esthetic the best. He has multiple lions already. Most of Chase's lions seem to be male. I will guess that is because most of the warriors he collected where males. The poxidex tells me that female Pyroars are better team players and more active hunters then the males though. So for Pokemon I think Chase would prefer to catch a female Pyroar

Purserkier: For Purserkier I will drift a bit a way from esthetic and lets talk a little bit about the lore of Chase's cats. They are all fallen warriors from different areas, cultures, and types of battle. Purserkier is based of a Berserker Warrior: an elite Scandinavian group of fighters known for their ferocity in battle. That is definitely lore Chase would be interested in.

Chien-Pao: Now if we take Chase's big cat esthetic, combine it with the lore of the elements of ruin (he would be as interested this as Hannibal Bean), and throw in Chase having an ace pokemon similar to Omi's pokemon, and we rive at a conclusion of Chien-Pao being on Chase's team

Polteageist: You can make or heat up soup in a tea pot. Polteageist is scary tea pot. Chase is evil because his favorite meal is Lao Mang Lone Soup. It just makes sense to give the evil soup drinker a scary tea pot pokemon.

Pokemon teams for Secondary Good guys

Master Monk Guan

In the show Guan usually came off as really stoic and serious. So I love that I was able to make him a team of mostly really goofy looking pokemon. It was not intentional, but a very happy accident.

Sirfetch'd: It's a fighting type that has a special fondness for a long tube shaped weapon that it has carried with it through a multitude of battles. Re-watching the show I think the reason Guan's spear/spears are so important to him is because he associates them with friendships he cares about (I am not justifying him trading Dojo to Chase Young. Chase isn't the man he used to be, and Guan never should have but helping Chase over doing right). But anyway I say give Master Monk Guan a Sirfetch'd and let them be sentimental about weapons together

Slither Wing: I wanted to give Master Monk Guan a past paradox pokemon since the series finale confirms that he himself is a paradox charcter from the at 1500 years in the past. How is he still here?!?!? I picked Slither Wing due to its Bug/Fighting typing. For one Guan needed a second fighting type. Also I checked Slither Wing against Chien-Pao. Both pokemon are close to equal in states. However Sither Wing would have the upper hand in battle, because Chien-Pao is weak to both its types. As warriors Guan comes off as being is a little stronger/more skilled at fighting then Chase (A fact Hannibal used to get Chase to drink the soup). Chase victory against Guan in that one battle came from him being a little smarter/more slick

Wobbuffet: Wobbuffet's had to be one of Master Monk Guan's pokemon, because when you make Guan flight hand to hand he and Wobbuffet battle the same way: They let their opponent attack first and then used the strength and speed of said opponents attack to take them down. Master Monk Guan's signature move "Repeal the Beast" is basically the same as Wobbuffet using either "Counter" or "Mirror Coat". A trainer and a pokemon that can use each other favorite move? They must become partners!

Gardivoir: Since Chase Young got Gallade, and he and Master Monk Guan basically represent the two sides of a Yin-Yang symbol (a reminder to anyone who wants to argue with me: neither side is all one color) of course they would need to have at least one pair of counter-part pokemon between the two of them. Huh earlier I said that Guan is stronger than Chase and Chase is smarter than Guan. Does it still make sense to give Chase the fighting type one and Guan the psychic type one? Of course it does! Chase is a strong and skilled fighter, even if Guan is better. Guan is really smart when he remembers to use his head, even if he isn't as slick as Chase. One person's talents do not negate the talents of another. If Chase Young can mega evolve Gallade than Master Monk Guan can mega evolve Gardivoir

Mr.Mime: Now we get a little into how Guan is clever. He knows how to play tricks, work angles, and act the part. But he mostly sticks to short skits that the person he plays will realize after like a day or two Mr.Mime, as a born pantomime, also does a lot of short sticks. If you mess its performances up it will smack you silly. This is a reference to how when Guan's tricks are brought to light he can still use his fighting skills to win.

Lycanroc (Midnight): Well it is also known for letting opponents attack first and then countering. More importantly it is also known for being a Lone wolf. Once upon a time Master Monk Guan fought for Xiaolin honor and beliefs with two close friends by his side. Today one of his friends is long gone, and the other now fights for the Heylin side. Despite losing his friends Master Monk Guan keeps going alone as a xiaolin monk

Jermaine

I decided "Lightning" was the element that suited Jermaine best. As a former friend used to complain when we watched ATLA it is actually a completely different energy than fire. Wiki says that it is associated with suddenness, power, destruction, and prosperity. Yeah that can all work well with Jermaine, so can two electric pokemon.

Hitmontop: His fighting type. Jermaine was shown to be pretty into Hip-hop right, and if i am not mistaken, a part of the hip-hop genera is break dancing. Hitmontop has a sort of break dance style way of fighting. It is always spinning, always on the move, and its opponents catch its hands and feet as it goes. Jermaine would probably find that cool

Galarian Farfetch'd: Like its evolution it carries around a long tube shaped weapon that it fights with. In Jermaine's second appearance he mentions that he has been training to be a xiaolin warrior and shows a talent at fighting with both a staff and a spear, two other long tube shaped weapons. So we all know who taught Jermaine to use those weapons, and who that person learned them with first. ... If Jermaine ever wants to give monk life another try I think I know someone who could maybe train him?

Electabuzz: This is his first electric pokemon. I was mostly looking for one that was built in a way that would make it able to play basketball with Jermaine. He loves Basket ball and competing in that Basketball showdown against Jack, with Omi, was the Spark that started Jermaine's interest in martial arts and becoming a Xiaolin warrior.

Luxio: I wanted to give him a feline pokemon, after he spent so much time trainging and learning form Chase Young. I went with a Luxio. Jermaine was unknowingly surrounded by a dark force and had it influence him, but in the end the light (By which I mean his true nature) shined through and he got himself out of there. Good job Jermaine

Frosmoth: Jermaine is such a cool dude that I had to give him an ice type. While their aren't a lot of them Frosmoth is a pretty cool choice,

Audino: A pokemon known for its amazing hearing and empathetic nature. Those are Jermaine's best qualities. In his first episode he heard a lost kid getting bullied and ran to help them because that is who Jermaine is. In his second episode Omi starts picking fights with Jermaine out of jealousy , and Jermaine is so hurt he never wants to speak to Omi again and is ready to throw down when Omi won't leave him alone.. But as he is at Omi when he still hears Omi say that he is sorry and was just jealous. More than that he feels empathy towards Omi, which leads to him forgiving him and the pair stopping their fight. Audino had to be on Jermaine's team.

Master Fung

I will not be giving Master Fung three more later. Master Fung was always more the quiet observer or silent judge than a person who really took action on a regular basis. So it makes more sense for him to catch around 3 pokemon he felt were good and then stop

Breloom: Alright Stay with me. Master Fung... fungus... mushrooms... mushroom pokemon... Fighting type mushroom Pokemon... Breloom. Master Fung should have a Breloom

Lucario: Is Luciaro one of the best fighting types in all of pokemon? Yes. Did I add Master Fung to my list so I could give Lucario to someone? It's possible. But really out of all the martial artists in this cartoon Master Fung is the one who is most likely to have trained in being able to sense, read, and go off of other peoples Aurora's in battle. It just fits his character. Lucario can mega evolve. While I do not see Mater Fung using Mega evolution to battle against the heylin forces (how often did he ever fight to began with), towards the later half of the show i could see him making the 4 young Monks battle against him and Mega Lucario to further hone their skills

Oranguru: Master Fung gets an Oranguru because both of them are wise old sages

Pokemon teams for relatives of Major Characters

because I am still having fun and wanted to do these two

Jesse Baily

Poison ain't an element, but it is a pokemon typing, and I reckon it would be Jesse's favorite.

Paldean Tarous (Blaze Breed): Both Baily Siblings have a Paldean Tarous. Clay being the oldest got to pick first and took a combat breed Tarous. Then not wanting to copy Clay Jesse grabbed a blaze breed Tarous. That actually works out great. They both got the typing that would work the best for them.

Heracross (female): No way is this girl strong enough to mega evolve any pokemon. I had to give her heracross: It is a bug and fighting type, and Jesse's character loves to bug people into fights. It also likes to trip and tip opponents, which is an underhanded way of fighting Jesse could get behind

Seviper: Her first poison type, a must have for Jesse. The Black vipers mean everything to her

Nidoqueen: Among her good qualities Jesse has notable leadership skills. She has a Nidoqueen because she queen of the bikers

Bramblin: Its a ghostly tumble weed and she is a Texas kid.

Rockruff: Rockruff starts out real sweet when its young. Then as it levels up it goes through an aggressive phase, and all you can do is let it go through that phase and wait for it to grow out of it. Jesse is doing the same thing herself, so she understands Rockruff. Hopefully one day Jesse and her family can better understand each other as well.

Megan Spicer

I love her and wanted to use her. She is to young to have a full team so I picked three pokemon. Jack could have caught them for Megan hoping she would play with them and leave his robots alone. All four of them totally ran wild all around his lair and continued playing with all his toys.

Stufful: Because it looks like a cute and cuddly toy, but also has a lot of strength to it and will grow up to be very powerful

Tinkatink: Because it is adorable and tiny, enjoys taking things, and when the mood strikes it is very destructive

Scraggy: Because it is looks lizard like and Megan had so much fun playing with Dojo, whom she thought was a lizard, when the monks came over to "play'

Pokemon teams for XIaolin Chronicles two additions

If I hadn't done them I don't know if I would have done the background Characters for the original show. IF you aren't interested in these two I understand feel free to skip them.

Ping Pong

When I first saw promos with Ping-pong I was actually pretty excited because I thought he was a missing brother or cousin of Omi's. That the monks had somehow found him and brought him to the temple so he and Omi could get to know each other. A dragon of Wood could have been pretty cool. If he had just been Omi's wood (and only wood) bending relative would people have liked him better? Scrappy Doo is not hated for loving and admiring his Uncle Scooby.

Hitmonchan & Hitmonlee: I gave Omi Sawk&Throh for lore reasons. Sawk& Throh are so similar to Hitmonchan&Hitmonlee that they might as well be early concept regional forms. Because Omi taught Ping-pong martial arts, and they fight similarly, Ping pong can have fighting types that are similar to Omi's two fighting Types.

Sky form Shaymin: His first Grass type. I picked Shaymin because in its sky form it is super fast, and Ping-pong is shown that he can regularly run at super speed. Since its also a flying type maybe Raimundo can help Ping Pong train it. I do not like that its stats are higher than either of Rai's two flying types. But Sky Shaymin is weak to flying type moves and when I add Rai's two's stats together he still has more wind power. So I will get over it

Abomasnow: Ping-Pong's second Grass type and a mega capable pokemon that I do not think he will ever mega evolve. If Shaymin represents the forest int he spring and summer when flowers bloom and everything is nice, Abomasnow represents the forest in winter when things get dark, cold, and more dangerous.

Paldean Wooper: Omi calls Ping-pong "Little Gecko" and according to Wiki Chase Young at one point turns Ping-Pong into axolotl (???) so I had to give an amphibious pokemon. Paldean Wooper is the one I picked. The Paldean form has a secondary ground typing so maybe Clay (who has much stronger ground types) could help him train it.

Fennekin: While he has lived all across the continent Ping-pong is probably french. The Kalos league was based of France, So I wanted to give him a Kalos pokemon. Fennekin is a from the Kalos league, also its small and Yellow. according to wiki Kimiko sees ping-pong "like a younger sibling". That can also be how her Ninetales see's Ping-pongs Fennekin

Shadow

I do not like Shadow. Her origin episode and her relationship with Chase Young are uncomfortable in a bad way. Never the less I will try to do her justice on my list. something I do not think Chronicles writters cared to do for the cartoon.

Sudowoodoo: Its a pretend tree, symbolizing how she first went to the tmeple pretending to be a girl named Willow, who was looking to train as a monk

Croagunk: Since she actually learns fighting from Chase she can have a fighting type that is the preform of one of his. ...I think the poison one suits them best

Alolan Meowth: I saw a clip where Chronicles trip where Chase turned 4 of the monks into Kittens (Why not cubs?), and Shadow was really excited to keep them, and she particularly wanted to train the kitty verison of Kimiko. If she likes kittens that much she may have an Alolan Meowth to train

Weevile: It is a super fast, dark type, Ninja pokemon that hides in the shadows. That fits Shadow pretty well

Shedinja: A second Ninja pokemon. This one is made from body parts another pokemon desides it does not need anymore after evolving. As uncomfortable as it is that's also like Shadow, and she could maybe feel kinship to this bug.

Frostlass: she and Omi were supposedly meant to be foils to each other, so i guess they can have counterpart pokemon. Omi has a Glalie so Shadow can have a Frostlass. Both are vengeful scorned women.

Lastly here is a link to my first list where you can see The four young monks and Jack's teams

Well first we have to tackle the elephant in the room of "Jay having been tricked into promising into selling his soul to Hell, and Elias coming to collect". This is clearly more than a 1 episode plot, but it we cannot have it run all season and still expect the show to remain lighthearted. So lets give the show 3 episodes to get Jay free from his contract

During those 3 episodes I want camp, I want slapstick comedy. Give me Sam researching crazy vudo ways to break devil curses. Maybe bring a witch doctor to the BNB

Have the ghost think Jay might die the same way one of them did. Thor uses the lights to codes "Stay inside" to Jay if the weather station predicts rain. Alberta makes disapproving humming noises if Jay tries to make himself a drink. At Issac and Flowers demand Trevor is writing "Wash your hands" and "Avoid bears" on every mirror and tablet in the house.

Hetty suggests at one point that they try to bribe Elias into letting Jay go by offering Elias some of whatever his drug of choice is. In one of his trips up top to taunt them though Elias tells them that Hell has loads of drugs. If they want him to free Jay they will have to offer him better, perhaps a replacement soul.

Have a handful of the ghost (Pete and Thor at least) consider/be willing to go to hell for Jay. But when Elias comes to collect a soul Patience senses evil again comes out of the dirt. When she see's Elias she pulls him into the dirt with her and he comes back a few hours later looking beat up. He frees Jay but says he will be back once "The vengeful and insane Puritan is sucked off".

Is it fair after that to say that I need Patience sucked off by the end of this season?

On to the more lighthearted. I need both the restaurant and Sam&Issac's book to gain success. Some fans have pointed out that Jay and Sam are getting to similar and their personal careers are a distinction. Besides that, we have only just started into the comedic potential the restaurant offers.

As far as the book goes I want it to be a success because I want Sam to get offered the chance to publish 7 more historical fiction novels. One for each of the main ghosts. Tell Thor's story using Gargoyles. I don't know what Sass would be. Alberta's now a siren. Hetty is the Baroness of the leprechauns.

Let a band stay at the BNB. What would the ghost be like at a concert? What would Sam and Jay?

Sass and Joan should start a prank war among the ghosts.

I want them to find another body, preferably one that has been long dead, buried on the property.

I want another resurrected spirit this Halloween. It's 3 years. This time let's get the spirit of a ghost who used to live on the property, but was sucked off to come back for a night.

I used to want Margaret Woodstone to come back one Halloween. But I have sense changed my mind. If she came back they would probably just say that she ran away from home, married a broke man her father disproved of, and then somehow was able to become educated and live a fairy tale life even though they were poor. I.e. they would once again make it seem like Hetty caused her own unhappiness and gave away her rights to her father and Elias in exchange for money. I am tired of the show acting like Hetty had any real choice in how her life went. Bring a ghost back who is not Margaret.

I was a little disappointed with Hetty's power being such a bottom tear one day a year. So I am hoping that they will do a Thanksgiving episode, and she will turn visible because the Irish also celebrate Thanksgiving (and 8 other holiday's)

regardless when she is next visible I need Sam's dad to come over for a visit. Hetty introduces herself as a great aunt of Sam's on her mom's side whom has gotten very well acquainted with Sam over the last few years... Sam's dad is not happy to run into a relative of his ex-wife's, and he and Hetty to get into a fight over spending time with Sam.

An episode where a nice Danish family comes to stay at the BNB. The family includes a child who can see ghosts, who keeps wanting to play with Thor.

Please please let the Fansby's go away on a romantic trip with 1 or 2 other couples. They offer to pay Sam to stop by their house once or twice a day to do basic house sitting tasks: water the plants/bring in mail/feed the cat/etc... Sam gets to meet all of the Fansby house's ghosts.

I want a "What If?" episode where we explore what life would be like if Jay was the one who fell don the stairs and gained the ability to see ghosts instead of Sam.

At least a B-plot from Nancy's point of view of her sneaking up stairs to spy on those weirdo 8 ghosts and their crazy livings then bringing the gossip back down to her basement friends. Maybe the basement ghost hatch plans to mess with the main 8. Include Nancy's relationship with Staurt and flesh out a couple more basement characters like Creepy Derek and the girl he is "basement Buddies" with.

Have a middle aged, and familiar looking guest come to the BNB and check in under the last name "Montero". That is Flower's last name. This guy is her nephew. Flower gets super excited and gives Sam a list of questions to ask Mr. Montero about his Dad, any siblings he has, his thoughts on weed. The guy at one point during Sam's questioning says he was actually adopted as a baby. Everyone basically goes "Oh okay". The he drops a bomb by saying that he was adopted by his biological uncle. His birth mother's name was Susan Montero. He knows that she died on this property and that Sam seems to know a lot about her.

We have to get Sass's death at some point this season. After last season I have kinda stopped expecting him to have some big and dramatic death. (Let's be real the show will never top "Holes Are Bad"). Some fans have suggested he might have died in his sleep from an unknown cause and I am starting to lean in to that'

If that is the case though I want the reveal episode to be a complete reverse of "Holes are bad". Like Sam realizes she doesn't know Sass's death story yet and asks him. Sass gives her a really big and dramatic death where he died saving his wife/child from an attacker. Sam gets emotional and runs to tell the story to Jay. Jay looks confused and asks "How did Sass have a wife/child when he was a virgin until recently?". Behind them a Ghost laughs and says that they watched "insert random Disney movie" the night before and Sass was just pretending to be "Insert random dead Disney parent". The ghosts then tell Sam that Sass tells them a different story every time they ask about how he died. They used look for any similarities in his stories to try and peace together an actual cause, but since none of them could hold a pen they had to keep track from memory which is hard. Then since Sam can write all the ghosts start randomly asking Sass how he died and telling her the details of any story he gives to write down. Sass guesses what they are doing and at first he just gives them increasingly different stories until he finally gets sick of being bothered. He calls everyone in and admits that his real story is just "I went to sleep as a living, and woke up the later as a ghost". He made those death stories up because everyone told stories about how they died and he did not want to have the most boring death. Flower or Trevor then points out to him that most of them died being stupid, so he has nothing to be jealous over.

I want an episode where Issac gets told that even if the book is a success that it is really unlikely it will ever get made into a musical. So then Issac wants the ghosts to make a play/musical out of the book and put it on in the ballroom. The ghosts agree to do this But if this happens I have specifics I want . 1.) Issac is not allowed to play himself. He either has to play a really minor role, or he has to play Hamilton (Whichever one he would hate more). 2.) Cat fight between Hetty and Alberta over the role of Beatrice, since she is technically the lead lady. 3.) The British shed ghosts learn about this and show up insisting that they get to play the British werewolf's, going as far as to sight "cultural appropriation" if they are not given the parts. The other ghosts give in. 4.) We find out that since the book has been changed to a work of fiction, Sam and Issac took some liberties and made Higgintooth a lot more aware of his sexuality than Issac was back then. In the book his character was romantically involved with his friend Edmund.

Now on to wishes from the shipping. *Puts hand on forehead and sighs dramatically*. The show once again has most of the characters in couples, and the 3 single ghosts have established love interests so we will probably get a lot of shipping based episodes. We will probably also get some break ups, because that is how you do drama in T.V. Sitcoms. So here is my wish list for this.

break up the episodes that are mostly about shipping so that they are not one after the other.

Also still have episode story lines to the platonic/family relationships in the show

Have one episode where it is Sam and Jay's anniversary and in a twist of the norm the main 8 try to plan something nice for them on their special day. It backfires horribly

Pete and Alberta are a couple now. I am not sure how the show will handle them as a couple. What will be their version of Thor&Flower both loving owls? Watching wrestling? Fantasy games?

Pete&Albeta and Carol&Baxter winding up stuck on a double date or having to share a table at a social event could either be really cringe or comically awkward. Both scenarios work in this show

I need at least one more episode where they help Sam and Jay do something deviant, and technically illegal, but victimless. Similar to the wine tasting back in season 2.

Break Bela and Eric up, but let Eric be the one to break up with Bela. Maybe he got a full time job in the country he has been doing humanitarian work in. He wants him and Bela to get married and move there together. Bela is not ready to get married and unwilling to move countries. So Eric breaks things off with her and moves by himself. I want Bela to be sad because that was her longest ever relationship, and I want Trevor to comfort her as a friend

Since Hetty got to go on a date last season it is Trevor's turn now. Pete mentioned knowing a cave women that he thinks Trevor would get along great with if he could overlook her bushy eyebrows. I want that that to be another roaming ghost that Pete knows. Since pairing up Sass&Joan worked out so well Pete brings the cave women over and introduce her to Trevor. Trevor is not that into her at first, the eyebrows and all, but later on they start to hit it off and hook up. The next day though have the cave women leave because even if she likes Trevor she is just not looking for a full relationship. Trevor is disappointed. The other ghosts cheer him up.

I have a bad feeling that Sass and Joan will not last. They are the least built up couple on the show and if the writers are going to break up a main couple it will probably be them. If they do end, please let it be because Joan got sucked off. No messy or bad break up. The show owes Sass that at least after the way they treated him last season.

I also feel like the show at some point probably will circle back to Flower&Thor potentially having a threesome with another ghost... and I will be honest: at this point in the show I am for it. Thor and Flower have dated for around 3 years now, they've said "I love you", supported each other through some hard realizations, and moved in together. They are a lot more solid than they were when Flower came out of the well in season 3. They have also said that they both like being watched. I can now better believe that they would mutually decide to engage in a threesome for fun, and not because Flower is scared to love and Thor is desperate to keep her.

But I need the third to be with a visiting ghost: a Poltergeist, a Roaming ghost (not Pete or Joan!), or Halloween night. No ghosts who "live" on the property and whom they see regularly. Have Thor and Flower enjoy it, but decide for it to be more of an annual treat, rather than a peppermint change to their relationship

Nissac.... Nissac. If you have seen any of my posts you know that I do not like these two together. They have no trust between them. That I do not consider Nigel to be a gentleman; in fact he is as sleezey and as big a liar as Carol. Lastly I hate how Issac would verbally state multiple times that he did not like the way Nigel treated him or his friends, but that he had to go along with it because Nigel was his "only option". All this stated I know that Nissac are getting back together. First they have to get better

Chris became a roaming ghost, so he will have to come back at some point. He has actually probably been back multiple times already, Issac just hasn't seen him yet. Also I do not know why some people think Nigel actually liked Chris. To me it was very clear that he was trying to cockblock/make Issac jealous. Well lets have Chris come back for a couple days and Issac see's him. Issac tries to keep Chris away from the shed and Nigel. Chris wants to head to the shed, and when Issac tells him "well they all think you left months ago" Chris replies with "Oh no they know I come back every few days/week or so. In fact one of them is probably expecting me."

Issac believes that means Nigel and Chris are a item now and sadly walks off. On his walk he runs into Nigel who is noticably alone. Issac asks where Chris is. Nigel asks what Issac is talking about, Chris left moths ago. Issac "No he's back now I know you to are together. You should go see him before he leaves again". Nigel says okay and walks off but he noticeably ducks behind a tree. Issac pretends to walk off before hiding behind another tree and watches Nigel come back then jumps out "Aha. Why aren't you going back to the shed". Nigel is startled then admits that he is not going back to the shed because Jenkins and Chris are making out there. This confuses Issac even more because as far as he knows Jenkins is completely hung up on Nigel. Nigel just says "Not when Chris is here", which makes Issac think Jenkins is either cheating on Nigel or dumped him for Chris. Issac comforts Nigel and the two share a kiss and seemingly get back together

Later on Issac see's Chris and Jenkins saying good bye and goes to yell at Jenkins for "Playing with Nigel's heart" as he believes Jenkins has done by chasing after him for so long only to throw him to the wayside for a "trist" with Chris. Jenkins gets annoyed and finally spills the beans to Issac. Nigel is poly, has been poly since they were all livings and all through their time as ghosts. That is how he has such "a high body count". Issac and Jenkins are not the only ghosts he has relations with. Does Issac really know nothing about any other ghosts besides his 7 friends? Lastly Jenkins tells Issac "You always acted like you were more special the the rest of us. But you were just his newest addition."

Issac goes to confront Nigel who tries to deny it at first but when he see's Issac does not believe hm admits that yes he has around 6 partners: Jenkins, Issac, a couple basement ghosts, and a couple from neighboring ghost boundaries. Nigel argues to Issac that monogamy was for women in their time, and according to Carol, who is married to Baxter but is also sleeping with Nancy and Crash, it has since become even more obsolete. Issac just tells Nigel that Carol does not speak for all relationships and he does not want to be "just an addition to a harem"

Okay so one of my favorite games to play on Tumblr is to make pokemon teams for characters from non-pokemon cartoons. So since casting for the live action HTTYD movie came out, I have seen a lot of things on various website dash's and that has gotten me to revisit the parts of this media that I loved as a child. This has been very fun, and naturally I eventually decided to do pokemon teams for the HTTYD characters.

I do have a couple points about my lists that I want to adress before showing my picks. I am a person who really enjoys the cartoons (as in ROB/DOB/RTTE). The first movie is actually the only one I have fully seen, but I know what happens in the next 2 from my time in the fandoms (Rip Stoick). The main way this will effect my list is that I did not make a pokemon team for Eret Son Of Eret. I do not know enough about him to make him a full team of six. I know he becomes Skullcrusher's rider after Stoick dies. Druddigon is the pokemon I think best represents Skullcrusher. So Eret would have a Druddigon and five other pokemon that someone who knows him better can come up with. I did however make Pokemon teams for Heather and Dagur from the cartoons. I love both those characters (I wish they had made it into the third movie) and I wanted to include them. I also did one for Viggo Grimborn, because I wanted to make a villain team and think about how his team would match up in battle against Hiccups.

With Httyd characters covered let's go over some rules I followed for pokemon selection

1.) 1 gave each character a dragon type pokemon to represent their dragons.

2.) I do not like using legendary types on my lists because they are to powerful. Those would most likely be the godlike alpha dragons Hiccup and Toothless fight in the movies. Pseudo legionaries however can be used.

3.) On this list I excluded Mega dragons, because I ultimately used a non mega evolving dragon to be Toothless, and if Toothless cannot mega evolve then none of the teas dragons should be able to.

(edditing this rule because I have seen ZA's Mega Dragonite. I like it. Hiccup is now the only character on this list with a mega dragon pokemon. As he deserves to be)

4.) The groups main dragons all had to be dragon type pokemon, but some of them do have close relationships with background dragons, and due to the shortage of dragon pokemon I let background dragons be represented by other types.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III

Cato had a single parent and a twin sister. His other parent had died of an long term illness that left his family in large dept. There was talk of his parent having to become Peacekeepers to pay their debt. But peacekeepers are never allowed to stay in their home district, or to contact their families in other districts. So Cato volunteered for the games hoping to be the victor, pay the debts with tribute earnings, and keep his family together.

Clove's parents died in an accident when she was pretty young, and she was raised by her Aunt&Uncle. One of her cousins likes to plan parties/events. When the "Two victors can win if they're from the same district" rule change was announced this cousin looked up Cato's sister and asked her for help planing a party for Cato&Clove 2hen they both returned home. The party was changed to being a double wake/funeral when they died. Cato's sister and Clove's cousin stay friends due to needing someone else who understood understands their grief/loss

Foxface lived in a group home and was a ward of her district. The reason she was so good at sneaking around and stealing was that she did it at home when her tesserac's did not stretch enough. She did not have a legal family, but was really close with 2-3 other kids living at the home. She had promised them that they could move to victor village with her if she won. The district still let them stand on her "reserved for family" spot in district 5 along with the group home staff, when Peeta and Katniss came through district 5.

Rue and Thresh name drawings were both rigged. Rue because someone important (Head peace keeper/Mayor) had discovered that she stole food from the orchard to feed her friends and siblings, and decided to make an example of her. Thresh because he scared some of the district 11 peacekeepers.

I like a theory some one said once said that Cashmere and Gloss were both sent into the 75th games, not for being rebels, but because they stayed close to each other even after two games and Cashmere being forced into prostitution. Snow was mad that their bond lasted through something that his and Tigress's could not.

Cecilia's three kids were dropped at the home of some trusted friends of her's post her name being drawn, with specific instruction to keep them from watching the games until after she had died.

Post the War

Annie names her son Nickolas Fisher Odair.. as more subtle nods to both Finnick and Mags

Katniss and Peeta both live under district arrest for killing members of district 13's rebel forces during the war. Haymitch and Annie both want nothing to do with either side and are left alone because of their mental states. Beetee, Johanna, and Enobaria agree to take part in the rebuilding of Panem/the government.

Johanna and Enobaria have always famously hated each other, but kinda get along in a "we can acknowledge that we are both trapped in the same boat and might as well be allies at this point" post war.

I am not sure if I really see Johanna ever becoming a parent. If she does it would not be until years and years after the war, and only if she learns to come out of her fight to survive/ survive to fight mode. But I kinda like to imagine her maybe going to a feritlity clinic and doing artificial insemination (With how many died in the war it would make sense for Panem to push this, Maybe grant stimulant child support checks to parents/families that are successful) getting pregnant and then teasing Katniss over the phone that she will name her child after her.

Katniss hates how many kids are being named "Jay" or "Rebel" or "Fire", "Spark" or Katniss, She Johanna under no circumstance is she do that. After nine moths Johanna gives birth to a boy whom she names "Hunter".

Beetee probably stays in either district 13 or he moves to the capital. He lives in whatever the heart of the country is. He is the head scientist/inventor in the country. He probably goes back to district 3 semi regularly to give lectures/teach collage classes, but he does not stay. I also think he becomes an author. At First it is just science and engineering books. But he also write manuscripts for Tell All's about the things both the Capital and the Rebels made him invent, the loses he faced :Ampert, his wife, and second child, and the dark ways his inventions where used. He plans to release those to print when he is retired, as a warning to any whom Panem uses after him

Gale takes his entire family with him to 2. The Hawthornes are one of the only families where all the immediate members made it through the war and and they are not losing each other. HE and Hazelle also really want to get the kids back up to the sun and away from any of the traumatic memories of their last year of suffering in 12. When they get to 2 Hazelle picks up jobs cooking and making/fixing cloths for people. Gale gets a pretty high up military job "moping up" peacekeeprs/capital loyaltists, so that he can earn decent pay and benifits for his family. He keeps this job for a couple years and moves up in it. One day a mission goes haywire, a trap of the enemies gets triggered and the explosion and crossfire puts Gale once again in the military hospital. This time he is informed that while he will live and recover from most of it, one of his eyes was badly injured from shrapnel hitting it and was removed.

After this Hazelle is able to convince Gale to leave his current job. She tells him how his siblings are as scared over him always leaving to go fight/coming home hurt as they were of things in 12 , and that after this if he doesn't look for another job she is packing the kids up and they all 4 leaving. She would rather be broke again than cause the kids to keep reliving all of this.

After that Gale uses high up connections (Paylor, Plutarch, Beetee etc) to get honnerable discharge from the military police and starts working on the rebuild and restoration of Panem. Its less money, but the Hawthorne's are able to keep their 3 bed room 2 bathroom house and their government paid benefits. Gale is able to move up in this position too. Best of all no he has non living, more constructive, channels for his fire and anger over Panem's suffering. This helps a lot. After a while he meets Cato's twin sister, I will call her Cleo. They find the other cute, fit, discover they both love to train with weapons and camp outdoors. Through them Bristol (moved to 2 as well, and is now Gale's best friend) and Charmian (Clove's cousin) meet and start dating too. When things get serious Gale tells Cleo that he is helping raise his siblings and introduces them. Cleo lost her whole family in the war, and is happy to be a part of Gale's.

About 8 years post war Gale and Cleo have a daughter. She has Seem looks and is shows the same protective and outspoken spirit Gale did. 3 years after they have twins who remind Cleo so much of her in Cato, except they grow up in a safer world.

Rory Hawthorne has pretty heavy nearsightedness, which is why Gale never taught him to hunt. He is also the smartest of the Hawthorne siblings. Back in 12 Prim would always let Rory copy her notes since he had trouble seeing the board (Town kids usually grabbed all the front seats and Seam kids usually sat in the back of class). In return Rory would tutor Prim in any subject she had trouble with. In 13 Rory is able to see an eye doctor, and finally gets tested and fitted for a pair of glasses. When he gets older Gale is able to use connections from Beetee to get Rory a scholarship to college in district 3 and Rory becomes a tech engineer. He also marries and has 2 kids. Both of whom have district 3 esque names

Vick unfortunately struggles with tramua's and his mental state post war. He does not talk much and will sometimes blank on the present: forgets that he lives in district 2 now and will ask to go to/try to walk to places in 12. He skips meals and does not say anything when his cloths get torn/out grown because of money issues that his family no longer have. When he finishes high school he takes a risky mining job, because that is what he always thought his life would amount to anyway. Just like his father he eventually dies in an accident when his child is around 6. Hazelle moves in to help her daughter in law raise the child. The kid also starts getting a bunch invitations to do things with his Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins, particularly with Gale and Cleo's brood who still live in 2

Posy grows up in district 2 and eventually forgets everything about her life before her family settled there. When she learns about the war in school she makes her family tell her stories about what things were like in district 12. Their stores are all very bittersweet, but they cause Posy to get pretty interested in the rebuilding of district 12. When she grows up she does 3 things. 1.) dates women. 2.) Uses the natural size and strength that her family possess to become a P.E./fitness teacher. 3,) Is the only one of her family to ever move back to district 12, where she and her girlfriend both get teaching jobs in Posy's old town. Both Toast kids have Posy as a P.E. teacher. They love her class. Posy does not remember Katniss at all, and while Katniss remembers who Posy is she cannot equate this tall, muscled, and healthy women with the tiny, sickly, malnourished, toddler she used to help take care of. This means that their is never any drama between the two women. If Posy sees Katniss she just remarks t her about how great her children do in gym class and that they could make for fine athletes. Katniss will smile and thank her for the flattery.

Speaking of the toast babies.

I head cannon that the 5-10-15 years line means that it took 5 years for Katniss and Peeta to heal up enough an for their relationship to grow enough naturally that they started discussing getting married and potentially having kids. It took 10 years for them to feel like the world was safe enough to try for a child and have their daughter. Then it took another 5, so 15 years total, for them to have their son.

I will head cannon that their daughter loves dance, animals, refuses to hunt, but will help her mother gather plants as she inherited her maternal families skills with plants and healing. She knew Haymitch as a baby/toddler. When he died she started taking care of his geese which is where her love for animals (and her refusal to hunt) came from.

I do not care what her first name is, but I will head cannon that her middle name is "Duck" because that was Katniss's affectionate nickname for Prim.

With their son I am going to say that Haymitch died of liver failure while Katniss was pregnant. So Hymitch never got to meet him. Haymitch did know about him, and was happy that Katniss, Peeta, and the kids would be okay when he died. Katniss and Peeta had told Haymitch their choice for a first name, and that they could make the middle name after him, but Haymitch told them to name the child after Sid. As a compromise their son's middle name is "Abernathy" for both Haymitch and Sid.

Toast boy does hunt/use a bow in arrow just like his mom. He is also as creative and artistic as his dad. Great Aunt Effie gets him into fashion, and he develops an interest in designing and making cloths.

Peeta reopens his families bakery in Disctirct 12. He hires a few people who return to disrict 12 as helpers. A food pantary and pharmacy get built as pat of the restoration. Kantiss will gather medical plants for the pharmacy and trade/donate game to the pantry.

Delly finishes school in District 13 but when she graduates she moves back to district 12. She eventually get married to Thom. They, their kids, as well as Greasy Sae plus her grand daughter are Kantiss and Peeta's friends post war. I doubt either Katniss or Peeta are that social afterwards, but I think they would have at least these friends.

Alright we go. As a kid I loved pokemon, and I loved Xiaolin Showdown (honestly a little more than pokemon. Xiaolin Showdown was me and my brother's favorite show for years). I got back into pokemon a couple years ago. Now for fun I like to go back rewatch a bunch of other old cartoons I used to love when I was younger, and then I make and post pokemon teams that I think characters would have, based on what their character is like. I tried to do the Xiaolin monks a while back, but I could not really get the teams right so I ultimately shelved this cartoon for a later project. Well later is now. I nixed the idea that their teams should all be their element, got a little more creative, and now i was able to come up with teams that I feel are very fitting to the characters

Before I unvail the teams here are the rules I gave myself

1.) Keep the teams balanced: At is core Xiaolin showdown was about the harmony and team dynamics between the four young elemental warriors. Yes Omi is the show's main protagonist. Yes Omi and Raimundo both have more character development than Kimiko and Clay. But neither of those ever meant that Omi or Raimundo were more important or that Kimiko and Clay were less of hero's. So with that in mind I tried to keep the teams as equal as I could.

2.) Main characters: The monks and Jack Spicer all got full teams of six. Wuya, Chase Young, and Hannible Roy bean are "seasonal villains" all got three. I purposefully gave them stronger pokemon though to keep them seeming threatening

3.) I went with a 2-2-1 formulaI for the mains. The characters all train and battle and frequently, so they will all get two fighting type pokemon. Next while not all their pokemon have to match their element at least 2 need to be (Jack's element is metal, which would be steel pokemon). Finally I am giving everybody one pokemon capable of mega evolution... Okay for real I do not think any of the main characters would mega evolve a pokemon. But two pokemon with that ability were must haves for two characters, so then everyone had to get a pokemon with that ability

4.) No dragon type pokemon: On my first go I really wanted to give each monk a duel dragon and their element type pokemon. But with a limited number of dragon types, differences in number of evolutions, Kingdra not becoming a dragon type until its final evoultion, and my own refusal to give Raimundo multiple mega's this made it impossible to keep the teams balanced. So in the end nobody got dragons types. The monks are dragons, not their pokemon

Now Onward to the teams

Kimiko Tohomiko: Xiaolin Dragon of Fire

Kimiko and her pokemon are on a mission to bring style to the xiaolin monk lifestyle

Mienfoo: Mienfoo is short, cute, and has a spitfire temper. In other words all its missing is a secondary fire typing and it would be the pokemon equivalent of Kimiko. Meinfoo and Kimiko can work together to channel their tempers into motivation to reach their goals as warriors

Medicham: Once again Kimiko is most temperamental of the group. Her arc throughout the show not about getting rid of her temper, but learning to focus it into her training instead of letting it get the better of her. Medicham and Kimiko can train together on improving and maintaining focus. Having both Mienfoo and Medicham as partners can also help Kimiko work on balancing herself internally

Baile Style Oricorio: Here is my first pick for a fire type for Kimiko. I chose it for its passionate nature as well as the beauty and grace it brings to flames. Plus it sorta matches Kimik's wudai weapon from season 3

Ninetales: Just like Oricorio Ninetales is a very pretty fire type pokemon. Just like Kimiko Ninetales is very smart and has Japanese origins. All these ttraits make it a great pick for Kimiko

Porygon: Hacking was one of Kimiko's special talents. Throughout the show she was the one who found info on various villains online, she knew how to get into any database, and she used cyberspace to beat some villain at least once a season. I will give Porygon to help her with all of that.

Furfru: fashion was another one of Kimiko's special talents. She changed outfits and hairstyles every time she went out with her friends. She has Furfru so that when she is done styling herself she can style Furfru to match

Clay Bailey: Xiaolin Dragon of Earth

Many of Clay's pokemon were Chosen based on his knowledge and skills with livestock

Pignite: Clay's first fighting type pokemon. It is based off a wrestler, which was a fighting method I remember Clay was good at. Also it was cannon that one way he got so strong was that he grew up wrestiling with his families pigs back home on their ranch

Paldean Tauros (combat bread): Clay's second fighitng type, also another livestock pokemon. Clay could wrangle and ride bulls in the cartoon, and when angered he would get into a stance like a bulls and charge at his opponents (who all diserved what they got for pushing this sweet boy to far), which suggests he modles at least part of his battle technique off bulls

Mudbray: Clay's first ground type. A pokemon that is stubborn, willing to get down into the dirt and work. A pokemon that has immense strength and can carry heavy loads with ease. A pokemon that has much in common with Clay.

Steelix: Clay's second ground type and his mega capable pokemon. Steelix is a snake, which Clay likely encountered many times growing up in the western outback of Texas, and I do think it would be a useful pokemon for when the monks occasionally venture underground

Tangela: Clay's special talent in the show (besides than wood carving) was lassoing and rope tricks. He and that rope saved lives on more than one ocasion. Tangela is a pokemon that can do rope tricks with its vines. Tangela and Clay will work together to pull anyone in danger to safetly and make many impressive saves.

Herdier: i Chose Herdier for Clay's last pokemon because it is known to be exceptional loyal, hard working, and love to help take care of other creatures. It is the perfect companion for a cowboy

Omi: Xiaolin Dragon of Water

I want everyone to know that shape was a key factor in choosing pokemon for Omi's team.

Sawk & Throh: Omi's two fighting types. Sawk is a solitary student. Throh train and travel in groups. Together they both capture Omi's internal struggle: Omi lived his whole life at the temple. He always knew he was destined to become the dragon of the water. He imagined being this great, undefeated, solo hero. When the other three monks arrived Omi assumed they his students, and very quickly grew to love teaching them. Finally Master Fung told him "They are your equal teammates. They are destined to be elemental dragons too". Omi's friends were his world. He was happy to help them with anything, sad/worried when the group argued, and knew that factually being with his team made him stronger. But he still had trouble letting go of his imagined future as a great and solo hero. He still loves doing things on his own, and he struggled at times to accept help from his friends.

Spheal: Here is Omi's first elemental pokemon. I picked Spheal because like Omi it is small, round, adorable, and has the potential to grow up into a powerful opponent.

Glalie: So unlike in avatar Kimiko never learned to bend lightning, Clay never learned to bend metal, and Rai cannot bend chi. But Omi could bend both water and Ice. Omi's ice skills were honestly insane. Like if he were not on the side of good, and it did not violate his morals he could have skewered his enemies like Kabobs (war flashbacks of Heylin Omi). There was no way I could avoid giving Omi a super powerful ice type pokemon, and who else could that be but Glalie? Plus it has a very large, round, head

Iron Bundle: Okay Iron Bundle is where Omi does get a bit of special treatment for being the show's main protagonist. I decided that Omi needed to have a paradox pokemon since he time traveled once a season (was time travel meant to be his special talent?). Iron bundle was the one I went with as its typing fit his element, and I figured it could help him carry back whatever souvenir he brought with him at the time

Dartrix: Dartrix at first glance looks like it might belong better on Raimundo's team, but first glances can be deceiving. Dartrix demands a high level of diligence from its trainer, and Omi was always the most diligent of the four monks. It is famous for its tiger instincts, but is also kinda narcissistic in nature. Omi could be the same way at times. Getting a handle on Dartrix as its trainer would challenge Omi and could potentially help him get a handle on his own ego.

Raimundo Pedrosa: Xiaolin Dragon of Wind

A lighthearted breeze on the surface. A powerful storm beneath

Hawlucha: Both Raimundo's first fighting type and his first flying type. Like Raimundo Hawlucha is a showoff who can be exploited at times. But it also is skilled at using its aerial abilities to its advantage allowing it to take down larger foes. Rai also learns to do this as he masters his element.

Kubfu: Kubfu is Raimundo's second fighting type. I picked it partially because in cannon he Raimndo still has attachment/gets comfort from his favorite Teddy bear (which there is nothing wrong with), but mostly because Kubfu is known to use defeats it suffers motivations to get stronger. Most of Rai's best development epsidoes involve him learning and improving from previous failures and mistakes

Braviary: Raimundo's second flying pokemon. Braviary fights for the sake of friends, and for them will not stop even when injured. As we see in season 3 Raimundo tends to put his friends on a pedestal and he does not always believe he deserves to be a part of their team. But he wants to be with them more than anything and is willing to train and fight with everything he has to keep them.

Absol: So no surprises here, right? All four monks at one point turn to the darkside. Three of them had their self control taken away, and were never portrayed as at fault. Raimundo was the exception. He willingly betrayed the group, changed sides, and caused the shows first "the end of the world" during a temper tantrum over failing a mission that his friends all passed. Like a kid throwing a tantrum Raimundo eventually wore himself out, calmed down, and realized this did not have to be "the end of the world". Rai cleaned up his mess and kept working to his goal. But everyone knew how far had taken one set back, and the memory negatively affected others perception of him. For the rest of the show Raimundo had to work twice as hard to prove himself a hero. If Kubfu helps him with his fears, and Braviery helps him remember what is really important to him, then I will give him Absol to help him remember that he is neither his mistakes nor other peoples harsh words.

Alolan Richu: Surfing was a special skill of Raimundo's. It's one I will consider a little more central to his character than his love of soccer. Aloan Richu is pokemon's sole surfer pokemon.

Dewott: Hey look Omi got a pokemon with Rai's elemental typing and now Rai is getting one with Omi's. Why is Dewott on Raimundo's team and not Omi's? Well firstly according to the pokedex Dewott is a pokemon that a lot of Samurai take inspiration from. Secondly Dewott is known as the discipline pokemon. Rai's initial lack of self discipline was a big weakness of his character that he had to work hard to overcome

Now for the heylin fighters

Jack Spicer: robotics expert and self proclaimed "Evil Boy Genius"

Jack fans rest assured I would never give our awesome boy a team that was not awesome as well

Passimian: Jack Spicer's first fighting pokemon. The monkey staff was Jack's favorite Shen gong wu. Jack could very effectively fight as and lead an army of Monkeys. So this big and strong, jungle warrior, primate had to be on Jack's team.

Falinks: Jack's second fighting type and his first steal type. It design makes it looks like a line of little toy robots, and Jack loved to build and play with toy battle bots.

Veravroom: Jack's second steal pokemon. Combine Jack's creativity in robots with that of this automobile building engine pokemon. Just imagine the vehicles they could make and take out together

Kangascan: Jack is shown to have such tremendous respect and admiration for mothers. His own mother and grandmother are constantly referenced as being the two people he cares for the most. His love for the older female figure in his life could arguably be why he keeps forgiving Wuya for replacing him with every other villain they come across, and why he keeps trying to have a better relationship with her. If he can see even Wuya positively then I have no doubt that he would love and revere this devoted mama of a pokemon

Koffing: Koffing is one of the three pollution pokemon (Koffing, Grimer, Trubish), and the skull and cross bone design on its front would probably make Koffing the one Jack would like best. I wanted to give Jack one of the three because ultimately the most evil thing about Jack is that he has very toxic role models: Wuya, Chase Young, and Hannibal Roy Bean

Malamar: So this was chosen first and foremost because out of all pokemon to me this one best fits jacks "evil goth" aesthetic. Add on that it is a dark type (jack should have at least one dark type), famously manipulative, and is apparently smart enough to operate human devices. Malamar is a perfect pokemon for Spicer

Wuya; 1500 year old Heylin witch

1 trainer, 3 pokemon, together they total 3 ghosts and 2 witches

Galarian Yamask: So the end of season 1 revealed that ghost hag wuya's face is a mask that Heylin Witch Wuya owns. ...??? This automatically drew me to having Yanmask be one of Wuya's pokemon. I went with Galarian Yamask because it has a secondary gound typing, which I wanted to pay reference to full power Wuya's rock warriors (unfortunately there is not yet a ghost/rock type pokemon). Now Galarian Yamasks's tablet has a drawing on it instead of a mask of its former face. But honestly Wuya's mask looks way more like a drawing than her real face anyway, so its all good. Maybe her Yamask drawing is meant to be of the serpents tail, since that is a shen gong wu she needs to be restored.

Lampent: Wuya even in her ghostly hag form was a threat because she knew so much about the Shen Gong Wu, and she came up with such evil ideas on how to use them. So you know how sometimes in cartoons when a character gets a really big idea a lightbulb will appear over their heads? Here is a ghostly light, with a creepy blue flame, to appear over the heads of Wuya or her allies whenever they are cooking up truly evil schemes.

Hatterene: Like Wuya in her solid flesh form Hatterene is a crazy witch, with a tall and slim figure and long waves of hair. Its appearence isn't the only reason I chose hatterene for Wuya. Hatterene is also the only pokemon on this list capable of gigamaxing. I will give Wuya gigmaxing as my gift to her. But my stipulation is that she needs her full powers to be able to use it. At less than full power Wuya and Hatterene are just ordinary fierce opponents

Chase Young: former Xiaolin Master, now The Prince Of Darkness

Extra-extra crazy cat man caught masquerading as polished and refined evil

Polteageist: Its a kettle/pot. You can use those to brew tea, but you can also sometimes use them to make a nice bowl of soup for yourself. Chase Young's villain origin was literally that he used to be a warrior for good, then he drank some evil soup that turned him into an evil, immortal, reptilian monster (show's from the early 2000's). Evil soup drinking pokemon trainer. Sinister kettle/pot pokemon. Makes perfect sense to me.

Purserkier: When Chase met a warrior he thought was particularly strong he challenged them to a battle where if they lost they had to serve him, and he would then turn them into jungle cats. I am not going to take his cats away from them (he did win those battles), but I will say that if he could have pokemon as well as the warriors, he would still be drawn to feline pokemon. I could give him a Piroar or an Incineroar since he has a lot of lions and tigers. But remembering that his minions are warriors as well as cats I am going with Purserkier. It is based of some of history's most deadly vikings, and I feel like if Chase ever met berserker vikings he would have wanted one in his collection

Chien-Pao: One of the treasures of ruin. I do not usually give legendary pokemon on my lists. Usually I would consider them to powerful for your average protag/antag. But once again Chase Young has been the prince of darkness for 1500 years, and there are so many things about Chien-Pao that fit Chase. The feline designe. The lore of it being given life from the hatred of those who were slain under its blades. Lastly it being an ice type connects Chase back to Omi. Chase was after all the one who brought Omi's ice powers to his strongest/most deadly.

Hannibal Roy Bean: ...Evil Bean

Local talking seed will give you a headache at best and cause you to lose all sense of morality or good at worst

Manibuzz: He must really like birds given how he always rides everywhere on Ying-ying, uses her to spy, and sleeps in he nest. If I let Chase have both his jungle cats and pokemon cats, then its only fair that Bean-breath here keeps Ying-ying while also getting a bird pokemon. There are a lot of mean ones to pick from. I decided to go with Manibuzz because it is a counterpart pokemon to Raimundo's Braviary, and the show did try to establish a hero/villain rivalry between the two.

Musharna: One of Hannibal's favorite ways to try and take down the monks was to get inside one of their dreams/heads and manipulate their thoughts. Musharna's abilities to effect dreams would make it very helpful to him.

I have seen this done a few times and I decided to take a crack at doing it myself, for fun. A few things to note before I show my picks.

A lot of the times I see people do this they just give the Digidestined the pokemon that looks the most like their digimon. Example Tai gets Charmander because it's an orange fire-breathing dinosaur, just like Augumon. I chose not to that because one it felt less fun, and two I don't ever remember the digimons looks being that important. They famously get near complete/complete makeovers when digivolving. Instead I am mostly picking pokemon based off the crests (virtues) each digidestiend represented and what the I think was the trait that their digimon possessed that caused the digidestend to most need this digimon.

I am limiting my choices to just starter pokemon. Those are the pokemon that usually became partners to trainers in the way that digimon did, have stronger evolution, and it helped narrow my choices down from 1k+ to like 30.

For this list let's pretend that Pokemon can evolve forwards and backwords just like Digimon

I grew up watching the 1990's -200's Digimon Adventures season 1&2, so that is the area of the show i am basing this off. I am aware that the show has done revivals since then with most of these characters, and probably did change them up some, but I am generally unfirmilar with those changes and am sticking to the era I know,

Oblitoury comment that these are my opinons and if you disagree or feel like another starter would work better for a certain character, (or if you could think of 1-5 other pokemon that should also be on their team) then please tell me who or why in the comments. I picked based on starter groups, but that is not a required rule for anyone else who wants to play

So we have Hetty's power now. She was the last of the main 8 to get a power, so there is no more mystery with these 8. But the show does have a ever expanding group of background ghosts , and we only have about 4 of them's powers (I will count the basement ghosts all together since they all have the same power). By the way I totally called Chris's power. We have have 2 and a fifth seasons to go for seeing if any of these are correct, but here are my theory's/predictions for Background ghosts powers

1.) Crash. Crash was decapitated in a motorcycle accident. His head remains detached, and we have already seen that his head and body can function independently of each other. Does that count as a ghost power? With how little Crash shows up the show might want to just go with that being his power. He is not a character who gets a lot of time or focus

2.) Stephanie. Stephanie is a teen ghost who for some reason sleeps most of the year. I am going to theorize that any living who walks through her while she is awake will suddenly become very sleepy, find the closest comfortable surface (a bed, couch, chair) and fall fast asleep

3.) Carol. Walking through Carol makes a living person briefly experience a feeling as if they are chocking. This is both because Carol choked to death on a doughnut hole, and because when alive she was part of a mob, which liked causing people pain and discomfort.

4.) Nigel. I think Nigel's ghost power is probably really lame. Before anyone asks that is not because of how much I dislike him. But Nigel likes to be top dog. He wanted to be way back in season 2 when he first moved into the manner. By that point he had also spent enough time with the main 8 ghosts know that they are all fascinated with ghost powers. Even of he hadn't known it then, he definitely would have picked that up while living with them. So I think if he had had a really cool power then he would have shown it off to increase his social popularity in the house. Since he is a british officer and he thinks leaving the British Empire was a mistake/tantrum on the U.S's part, so maybe walking through him will cause livings to talk like an old timey British person for like 60 seconds.

5.) Baxter. Let's get away from walk through based powers. Baxter died holding a fife and if marching with Nigel and Jenkins will play it when they leave a room. I have seen it be suggested that his ghost power is probably that should he try hard enough his playing can be heard by livings. I would say that is probably accurate. Sure Jay couldn't hear him in the D&D episode, but he wasn't exactly playing for Jay. Jay isn't able to hear every song Alberta sings either.

6.) Okay for real I am going to theorize that Jenkins has the highest tier power of the three shed ghosts, he is even more powerful than Carol. But he either does not know what his power is because he has never bothered to try and find out, or better yet, he knows it but he can rarely be bothered to rouse himself up enough to use it. Just to use a semi common ghost ability I haven't seen in the show yet, I want to guess that Jenkins can make the air around him colder. In the summer when the Shed becomes unbearably hot Nigel and Baxter will start telling Jenkins something to the tune of "turn on the AC " and he will use his powers to cool them off. However if the temperature is below 90 something degrees Jenkins will just be like "Its not that hot. This is much cooler than the time I saw the city go up in flames" continues to stare blankly at the wall.
