Fankidtober post #9: Brooke Tremain!

Brook is the son of Lily and Dorian. As a young boy, Brook enjoyed watching his mom and his aunts perform in water shows and would always watch them along side his cousins and it was because of the influence with watching their respective moms that they started their own water show where they started calling themselves “The Captivating Cousins”. The main difference between him and his mom is that he doesn’t belittle his youngest cousin Lapis and sees her as a strong battler and a great gym leader when it’s time for her to take over the gym, he, along with Gale and Rosemary also let Lapis join them for their water shows when she isn’t busy training or taking exams. Brook does care about his looks but he cares more about his Pokemon than how he looks and will always groom and care for them since he sees the Pokemon as the main stars of each performance. In a lot of performances, Brook will play a more heroic role as such his Pokemon represent the role he takes as being a hero. Brook will mostly do research about their shows to make sure that what they’re doing is accurate to how it was in whatever time period or whatever setting they’re doing. 

His Pokemon:

Mantyke- Mantyke hatched from an egg given to him by his parents after Dorian’s Mantine laid an egg. As Mantyke is still young, he gets uneasy when he isn’t near Brook and always stays near him, especially when he’s swimming in the pool with him. Mantyke is very friendly and enjoys swimming and playing with the other baby Pokemon that Brook’s cousins have and they in turn like playing with him. He loves swimming and diving under water and he enjoys having Togepi and Pichu ride on his back so they can enjoy the water with him. Togepi, Pichu, Mantyke and Azurill are known to be the mascots and stars of many of the water shows the cousins create together and he enjoys taking part in the water shows as he gets to be with his friends and his surrogate father. Mantyke loves to swim with his Dorian’s Mantine when the two of them are able to swim in a large body of water, he always has fun swimming with other Water-type Pokemon and he loves taking his pseudo siblings for a swim along with him and his father. Mantyke often acts as the older brother between him, Lapis’ Togepi, Gale’s Pichu and Rosemary’s Azurill and he acts as the peacemaker between the three of them, as well as making sure all of them are happy which he does when by performing a small water show for them if they’re upset. Mantyke has a special bond with Lapis’ Togepi, Gale’s Pichu and Rosemary’s Azurill, the four of them see each other as siblings despite none of them being the same species or sharing parents.

Ability is Water Absorb.

Moves are Water Gun, Supersonic, Aqua Ring and Air Slash. Locked moves are Hydro Pump, Air Cutter, Agility, Mirror Coat, Ice Beam and Round.

Dewott- Dewott was given to Brook by his grandparents when he was a Oshawott after the two of them went to a trip to the Unova region. As a Oshawott, Dewott was pretty clumsy and a little bit of a airhead, often tripping when he would walk or he would make a mistake during rehearsal for a Water show. While he was clumsy and a little bit of an airhead, he did have a temper that would rarely come out or it would come out if he got annoyed enough and he would go into a frenzy. After evolving into Dewott, he became less clumsy and became more focused and serious which surprised his trainer and his trainer’s cousins. Dewott is an honorable Pokemon and doesn’t like anyone who plays dirty or cheats during a battle, finding those kinds of people or Pokemon to be weak and he can’t stand it when he sees a big Pokemon picking on a small Pokemon and he will fiercely protect the smaller Pokemon from a bigger Pokemon. While Dewott doesn’t understand much about the water shows, he does enjoy the plays where he gets to battle with his trainer by his side. Dewott has a sweet tooth for chocolate, to the point if he eats one he’ll lose his stoic face and happily munch on the chocolate. Dewott has a brotherly bond with Lapis’ Wartortle and Gale’s Prinplup though all three of them often fight for Rosemary’s Brionne’s affections.

Given in a Pokeball. 

Ability is Torrent.

Moves are Razor Shell, Revenge, Iron Tail, Swords Dance, X-Scissor, Sacred Sword, Night Slash, Rain Dance, Double Team and Aqua Tail.

Poliwrath- Brook caught his Poliwrath when he was a Poliwhirl, thinking it would be cool if he had a Poliwrath while his cousin Lapis had a Politoed, he caught Poliwhirl and got a Water stone from a store but to his confusion his Poliwhirl wouldn’t evolve when he gave him the Water Stone. After a Nurse Joy explained that perhaps Poliwhirl needed to train some more before he evolved, Brook took that as advice and trained his Poliwhirl as hard as he could in any body of water that he could get to as well as on land. It wasn’t until the two of them were swimming that Brook had ended up getting too close to some Tentacruel and they ended up attacking him and his Pokemon. After a hard fight, Poliwhirl had evolved into Poliwrath to protect Brook. Poliwrath is a very strong and protective Pokemon, he’s also very serious and takes time to train himself with both swimming and martial arts. Poliwrath isn’t easily deterred by anything that may be in his way when it comes to the water shows or just swimming in general, he also enjoys playing the role of a hero Pokemon with his trainer. He also teaches children who visit the gym how to swim when he isn’t needed in a water show, he enjoys being with children.

Ability is Swift Swim.

Moves are Submission, Mind Reader, Dynamic Punch, Hydro Pump, Power-up Punch, Ice Punch, Dive, Drain Punch, Bubble Beam and Poison Jab.

Buizel- Brook caught his Buizel while he and his family were on a trip to Sinnoh, Buizel was rather shy and was about to get away from the large amount of people he saw but when he laid eyes on Brook he felt more at ease with him and let himself be caught by Brook. Buizel is very shy around people and Pokemon he hasn’t met before but when he gets to know them he’s more excited and happy to meet others, often claiming to be their friend. Brook started training with Buizel in an attempt to get him to open up more, it took a while but he did start opening up and became less shy and more brave and determined. Despite Buizel’s more determined and brave nature, he still doesn’t like performing in a water show due to stage fright so he prefers to have more low known roles such as being a background Pokemon instead of battling. Buizel still enjoys helping out his trainer and his cousins with their shows so he’ll also use his moves to create beautiful background and effects, Brook, Gale and Rosemary are okay with what he does and has no issue with his work.

Ludicolo- Ludicolo was caught by Brook when he found Ludicolo dancing and playing with children near the city, seeing how well he was dancing he figured that Ludicolo would be a good member for his team so he caught Ludicolo, Ludicolo didn’t mind and was perfectly fine with having a trainer. Ludicolo is a cheerful and jolly Pokemon, he enjoys dancing to music and entertaining young children who come to the water shows. Ludicolo is a capable battler and enjoys dancing while he battles, which is something Brook uses to his advantage. Despite how he looks, he still is a Pokemon who is protective of his trainer and the Pokemon gym, as such he will fight with all he can if either is in danger. Ludicolo is also protective over children and always protects them or helps them should they need help, he’s often known as being a protector for other young kids.

Ability is Rain Dish.

Opal is the daughter of Lily and Dorian. Much like her mother and her father, she enjoys doing water shows and she did enjoy it for a time when she was with her cousins. However, she felt like she wanted more to do than just water shows so she went on a journey with the Froakie she was given when she was ten, at first she didn’t really know what she wanted to do so she just traveled to Johto and was just sightseeing, it wasn’t until she saw an advertisement for the Johto Grand Festival that she decided to sign up since she knew a bit about contests. After winning five ribbons, she competed in the Grand Festival but she only made it into the Top Eight much to her disappointment but she tried again, this time going to Hoenn to the contests there. She managed to win five ribbons and she did a lot better, making it to the finals but she came out as the runner up she wasn’t feeling as bad about it as before. She was soon approached by White and was offered a spot in a show PokeStar Studios was working on, Opal agreed since she was interested in what the show would be about. She was partnered with a boy named Mathis for a show about two trainers who were raising a Magikarp and a Feebas and wanted to be a trainer and a coordinator. Opal soon enjoyed her time playing the role with Mathis by her side, the two were then cast for a show about an Oshawott and a Popplio looking for trainers to call their own, Mathis and Opal played the role of Oshawott’s and Popplio’s trainers. After a while of acting alongside Mathis, the two of them started dating and are still together, them dating was also factored into their roles. Opal is quiet and enjoys taking things easy, but she still does enjoy the rush of performing either in a water show with her cousins, mother, and aunts or when she was a coordinator and performing in front of people. Opal is known for having a knack for coming up with different ideas on her own, as well as for her dancing and water ballet skills which is something she does great with her cousins. She’s also mature and easy-going, as well as kind and caring to those around her. She’s very close to her friends Corvin, Harmony, Alistair, and Cressida. She considers her best friend to be her cousin Sapphire, she worries about her cousin Pearl and always calls her to make sure she’s okay and she deeply loves her boyfriend Mathis.

Her main colors are purple and magenta. From purple, she’s creative and has an active imagination, she also dislikes copying anyone else’s ideas and would rather be original. She has a bit of an arrogant side but it doesn’t come up often, but she can act arrogant if one of her roles calls for her to act arrogant. Magenta is what keeps her emotions balanced and it also represents how she’s loving, compassionate, supportive and kind to others, it also gives her some inspiration and it can represent her cheerfulness and how she’s content with where she is now. 

Her Pokemon:

Frogadier- Opal had received a Froakie for her tenth birthday as a gift from her parents. While he wasn’t interested in the water shows, like his trainer he didn’t know what he wanted to do either and just went with what she was doing, it wasn’t until she had caught Marill and saw a contest that he would participate in contests. He wasn’t interested in being part of the appeal round but he did participate in the battle round and was happy there. He evolved into Frogadier while training for the next contest. While his role as a contest Pokemon dwindled a little, he was actually a lot happier being a performing Pokemon on a show. As a Froakie, Frogadier was laid back and easygoing, mostly just enjoying the peace and quiet life of wandering around but he was still loyal to Opal and would battle if she asked him to battle. When he evolved he started to lose his laid back nature and just focused on battling more, despite not fully enjoying Pokemon contests he does find useful ways to counter-attacks. He’s also protective over Opal, he’s the first of her Pokemon to protect her from anything that may come her way. He’s mostly seen out of his Pokeball.

Marill- Marill was the first Pokemon that Opal had caught. Marill is a Pokemon that loves to make people happy, she always wanted a trainer but everyone would just pass by her not giving her a second glance so Marill was very happy to be caught by someone who really wanted her and she was even happier to hear that Opal was going to be a coordinator as Marill always thought Pokemon contests were amazing and wanted to be a part of them. Marill still loves making others happy by using what she learned for contests to make Opal’s friends smile. She also loves performing for whatever tv or movie that Opal is cast for.

Lapras- Opal had met Lapras while she was taking a break on the beach, she was surprised that Lapras had approached her but she was glad to be approached by one as she always wanted to be friends with a Lapras. Lapras is a gentle and motherly Pokemon, she also can talk with the power of telepathy and she can sense what’s in someone’s heart which is one reason why she approached Opal, she knew that Opal was a kind-hearted human when she was simple swimming by. Lapras enjoys just drifting around but she also respects her trainer's wishes and was happy to help her trainer with performing Pokemon contests and she was happy to support and encourage Opal with her decision to go into show business. Lapras often treats Opal as a loving mother would treat their child, Lapras always nuzzles Opal or tells Opal how she’s doing great with everything she does, it’s something Opal appreciates from Lapras.

Swanna- Opal had found Swanna while she was traveling the Hoenn region, Swanna had been injured by a group of trainers trying to catch her and she managed to escape getting caught but she had fainted when she managed to fly far enough from the trainers. Luckily Opal found her and carried her to a Pokemon center to get her healed up, while Swanna was recovering Opal would talk to and bond with Swanna in hopes to get her comfortable around her. After Swanna had fully recovered, she let herself get caught by Opal as she was grateful for Opal helping her when she needed it. Swanna was highly interested in Pokemon contests, she greatly enjoyed participating in the appeal round and the battle round. Swanna is a caring and kind Pokemon, she also likes to practice elegant flying patterns as well as swimming elegantly. Swanna is also easy going, but should something or someone get her angry she will blow them away with her strong wings or soak them with her water attacks.

Ability is Hydration.

Moves are Rain Dance, Aqua Ring, Hurricane, Water Pulse, Steel Wing, Mirror Move, Aerial Ace, Bubble Beam, Air Cutter, and Brine.  

Milotic- Milotic was given to Opal as a Feebas by the producer of the show she was to co-star in with Mathis in an attempt to bond with her before the series premiere. Opal was nothing but kind to Feebas and would help her be comfortable, she also gave Feebas plenty of beauty-enhancing Pokeblock and Poffins to help her evolve. She managed to evolve at the same time as Mathis’ Magikarp while they were filming an episode where they had to evolve. As a Feebas, Milotic felt worthless and ugly especially when she compared herself to her teammates who were either strong, cute or beautiful. When she evolved she gained some confidence and gained a bit of a regal side, she’s always seen practicing her skills in contests with her teammates and training to battle alongside them. She does take time to hang out with Mathis’ Gyarados as the two of them are dating each other. She’s also kind and gentle, as well as affectionate as she’s often seen nuzzling Opal and Gyarados.

Brionne- Brionne was given to Opal as a Popplio by the produce of another show she was co-starring with Mathis in an attempt to bond with her before the series premiere. Brionne and Opal got along great with each other and they work very well together. As a Popplio, Brionne was a shy Pokemon, she was glad that she got someone as kind and comforting as Opal. She was also very sensitive and gets very upset when someone insults her or makes fun of her, it’s honestly because of that she’s able to cry on cue. When she saw Dewott evolve she gained a crush on him and wanted to evolve to match him, which she did and was happy to evolve for him. Brionne, while still shy did gain some confidence in herself after evolving and she wasn’t as shy majorly shy as when she was a Popplio. Brionne doesn’t ask for much, she just wanted a trainer to call her own and she wants to get praised by her trainer for doing whatever task her trainer wanted her to get done. Brionne does have an interest in Pokemon contests and would love to perform in one should Opal decide to go back to contests at some point. Brionne is dating Mathis’ Dewott.
