#*accident

for ko’s pokemon verse , i’ve decided he’s just a traveler who isn’t overly fond of battling , though he will if he has to , &  his team is :

absol : main companion , travels outside the pokeball.  he found her when he was ten , caught in a poacher’s trap  &  freed her  /  took care of her until she was physically fit again  &  the two formed a bond , causing her to choose to willingly accompany him.  serves as something of a service pokemon in that she assists in removing komaeda  /  others from the situation should she feel a ‘ disaster ’ start to stir as a result of his luck cycle. 

arcanine : raised from a growlithe !  the baby crawled into his bag in search of food  &  ko allowed him to stay.  he may ride arcanine from time to time if he needs to cross really concerning terrain or get somewhere fast. 

mimikyu : found the poor thing half - drowned in a fast - flowing river  &  rescued it.  he took care of him until he was feeling better  &  him took to following him around until he eventually asked if he would like to join him  &  was permitted to put him in a pokeball. 

banette : was followed around a city all night by the damn thing whilst ko pretended he had no idea she was hanging around.  eventually just sat down and extended a hand to her and asked if she would like to tag along.  banette attacked him , ko dealt with it , one thing lead to another now he has another companion. 

darkrai : this is actually a bit long but the gist is they connected through unintentionally hurting people around them  &  darkrai put themselves in a pokeball , much to ko’s surprise.
