== Team Rocket ==

 

[[The Leader]] of Team Rocket and the ex-Viridian City Gym. An evil man who uses both Pokémon and people to accomplish his goals. Though he specializes in Ground types, he also has powerful Pokémon that are other types as well. {{spoiler|[[Luke, I Am Your Father|He's Silver's father.]]}}

 

* [[Kick the Dog]]

* {{spoiler|[[Knight Templar Parent]]}}: He pretty much had most of the Sevii Islands destroyed in his quest to capture Deoxys {{spoiler|just so that he could find his son.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: in the Yellow Arc, while under [[Enemy Mine]], Giovanni arriving in Cerise Island is this, allowing Lance to steal Giovanni's badge for the amplifier.}}

* [[Noble Demon]]: He can be this when he's not perfecting [[Kick the Dog]], and all said he's less evil than some of the other major villains out there.

 

'''Triad'''

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]

* [[Co-Dragons]]:

** [[Evil Genius]] - Koga

** [[Dark Chick]] - Sabrina

* [[Enemy Mine]]: During the "Yellow" chapter.

* [[Undying Loyalty]]: The only Team Rocket leader they will ever follow is Giovanni.

* [[Villain with Good Publicity]]: At first, during the R/B/G saga. They would still follow Giovanni again if asked, but since he told them to return to their Gyms after defeating the Elite Four, they are no longer villains.

 

A Gym Leader who used the SS Anne to transport stolen Pokémon. Specializes in electric-types. Now uses SS Anne for legal ventures.

Another Gym Leader who joined Team Rocket, he specializes in poison-types. Once missing along with the rest of the Johto Elite Four, he is now officially recognized as such.

 

* [[Ninja]]: He uses his Pokémon for ninja-esque techniques and modifies his Pokéballs into shuriken. The Pokémon thing is justified as real life ninjas actually did use animals.

* [[Poisonous Person]]

 

The Leader of the Saffron City Gym who specializes in Psychic Pokémon and is a powerful Psychic in her own right.

 

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Heel Face Turn]]: Becomes a legit Gym Leader again alongside Lt. Surge.

* [[Pettanko]]: And pretty sensitive about it, too.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Calls Blue out for not bothering to tell her about her Lorelei-defeating strategy: {{spoiler|she was never actually chained to Sabrina to start with.}}

 

 

* [[Elite Mook]]

* [[Terrible Trio]]

'''Beast Trio'''

 

==== (Storc in Coronis' translations) ====

A female admin who makes her first appearance in the FRLG arc. The leader of the beast trio and is treated as second to Giovanni in FRLG. Seems loyal to Giovanni throughout the arc, and helps him find {{spoiler|Silver}}...and then things get [[Mind Screw|weird]].

 

* [[Dracula]]: The creature she was based off of.

* [[The Dragon]]: To Giovanni in FRLG, and has never been defeated in battle.

** She arguably didn't have a reason to [[Taken for Granite|petrifying the Dexholders]] and then leaving them like that, but you know her...

* [[Improbable Hairstyle]]

* {{spoiler|[[The Mole]]: Revealed to be working undercover in Team Rocket for Cyrus.}}

* [[New Powers as the Plot Demands]]: She can {{spoiler|turn kids to stone with no explanation? And escape Lorelei's ice voodoo with very little effort while severly injured?}} She also {{spoiler|somehow managed to access Archie and Maxie after they got stuck in an energy bubble that Ruby needed Celebi to get out of? And has access to cursed armor?}} Even in a series with psychics and ice voodoo, [[Ass Pull|this stuff seems a little out there]].

* [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness]]: To Deoxys individual 1.

 

==== (Jagara in Coronis' translations) ====

The beast Trio's mechanical and computer expert. He faces Red in battle in FRLG. The designer of the trainer tower's machines and "R". First appearing in FRLG and later appears in HGSS.

'''The Four Generals'''

 

The Leader of the Four Generals. Not much is known about him at this time, other than what we know from the games.

 

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

Again, not much is known about Ariana yet, but some fans believes that [[Epileptic Trees|she might be]] {{spoiler|Silver's mother, based mainly on her hairstyle, her position in Team Rocket, and her apparent age.}}

 

* [[Evil Redhead]]

 

The [[Master of Disguise]]. He's actually extremely good at it, [[Glamour Failure|unlike the games.]]

* [[Adaptational Villainy]]: Though Bruno was actually unwilling, unlike the others.

* [[Five-Bad Band]]:

The first of the Elite Four Yellow faces, and the one who imprisoned Red in ice. She joins forces with the Kanto Dex Holders years later when Team Rocket threatens her home, the Sevii Islands.

 

* [[Unwitting Pawn]]: For Blue.

 

The Elite Four member who challenged Red. An otherwise honorable trainer, he is the only Elite Four who actually needs to be brainwashed in order to go along with their tactics. He is now officially a member of the League recognized Elite Four.

 

* [[Bare-Fisted Monk]]: He himself is one, not just his Pokémon.

* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]

* [[Eyes Always Shut]]

* [[Fighting with Chucks]]

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: the only member of the Kanto Elite Four to never reappear after the Yellow saga.

 

[[The Leader]] and most powerful of the Elite Four, Lance specializes in dragon Pokémon. Like Yellow, he is one of the special few born in Viridian Forest, meaning he also can heal and read the minds of Pokémon. He can also instantly control any dragon-like Pokémon he comes across.

 

* [[Psychic Powers]]: Born like Yellow in Viridian forest, he has similar powers:

** [[Healing Hands]]

* [[Roboteching]]: With '''HYPER BEAMS'''!!!

* [[Smug Snake]]

* [[Speaks Fluent Animal]]

* [[Pet the Dog]]: He has two...

** {{spoiler|The issue with his pair of Lapras, and their kid. He truly loved them.}}

* [[Worf Had the Flu]]: earlier in his time, he a has lapse of weakness {{spoiler|for his constant pursuit of Celebi.}} Exploiting this was how Blue and Silver escaped from his forces in the first place.

 

One of the Masked Kids who are directly under the Masked Man, Will is a psychic-type specialist who enjoys doing things for the thrills alone (but not the danger). After the Masked Man is defeated, he joins Koga and Bruno since he doesn't have anything else to do.

== Team Magma and Team Aqua ==

[[The Leader]] of Team Magma, he hoped to use Groudon for his plans.

 

 

 

==== (Marge in the Chuang Yi version) ====

One of the three Three Fires, Courtney prefers to use straight forward ''brutal'' force. Develops an...''interesting'' relationship with Ruby over time. {{spoiler|She used to be a happy-go-lucky Coordinator who was good friends with Daisy Oak.}}

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: She has a ''very'' small role in the games, not appearing at all in Emerald, yet has the most development of all the Team Aqua/Magma members in the manga.

* [[Enemy Mine]]: Against Groudon, since her desire for seeing destruction had been satisfied.

* [[Green Thumb]]: No, it's not her speciality type, but she is very knowledgable about berries and plants to the point she can use them as tools and weapons.

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: Though at first she only assists Ruby in order to stop Groudon, she ultimately has one in the end.}}

* [[Playing with Fire]]: And she ''loves'' watching things burn.

* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]

* [[We Can Rule Together]]: Offered to Ruby at one point.

 

==== (Mitch in the Chuang Yi version) ====

Another of the Three Fires, this burly man specializes in putting people to sleep with his Torkoal's smoke.

* [[Ship Tease]]: With Flannery.

 

Third member of the Three Fires. Only appears in this manga.

 

* [[What Happened to the Mouse?]]: His whereabouts after the whole Groudon and Kyogre debacle are never revealed.

 

[[The Leader]] of Team Aqua, he hoped to use Kyogre for his plans. {{spoiler|He would later appear during the Emerald arc as Guile Hideout.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[Cool Sword]]: Gets one as Guile. It has the power to reflect back any attack with a swipe, making it the perfect offense and defense.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Dramatic Unmask]]}}

* [[Jerkass]]

* [[Kick the Dog|Kick The Fish]]: And stomp on it several times for good measure. Poor Mimi.

* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: With Maxie.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: See what happened to Maxie. Same thing, only {{spoiler|it's kicked up another notch when he's Guile Hideout.}}

** [[Mook Promotion]]: Archie promotes three of his goons to [[Elite Mook|Admin status]] near the beginning of the R/S arc. The above tropes both rear their ugly heads later on.

 

==== (Angie in the Chuang Yi version) ====

[[The Leader]] of Team Galactic. He wishes to control Time and Space. The Sinnoh Trio first met him at Mt. Coronet, where he attacked them with Probopass and Magnezone.

 

* [[Large Ham]]: Though he generally tends to match the stoicism of his game counterpart, when he gets going, he...really gets going.

* [[Manly Tears]]: {{spoiler|After he summons Dialga and Palkia, you begin to see tears come out of his eyes after witnessing his plan come to fruition. He's also seen with tears running down his face while he tries to prevent his plan from being ruined.}}

* [[Omnicidal Maniac]]

* {{spoiler|[[Pet the Dog]]: More like "Pet the Shaymin".}}

One of the three admins in Team Galactic. She first encountered the DPP trio at Valley Windworks.

 

* [[Dark Action Girl]]

* [[Dark Chick]]

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]

 

One of the three admins in Team Galactic. {{spoiler|He fired a cannon that transported Platinum's real bodyguards to what is possibly the Distortion World.}}

 

* {{spoiler|[[Heel Face Turn]]: At the end of the Platinum arc.}}

* [[Hoist by His Own Petard]]: Defeated when {{spoiler|he's crushed under his own machines.}}

* [[Psycho Supporter]]: He seems to admire Cyrus the most.

* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Very full of himself. When Cyrus chooses the lake he's at to be the one to blow up:

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]

 

One of the three admins in Team Galactic. One of her leg appears injured.

 

* [[The Stoic]]: For the most part, but can occasionally slip into [[Not So Stoic]] in battle.

 

This refers to the unnamed grunt who has had more encounters with the DPPt trio than the other [[Mooks|grunts]], whom Cyrus seems to be give as much responsibilties to as the four commanders. He shows great interest in the Pokédexes.

 

* [[Anti-Villain]]: Type I. He arrives to release Mr. Berlitz and Professor Rowan early, stating that he sees no point in making them suffer unnecessarily. He also mentions that he prefers to avoid a fight with Platinum. The worst things he does he only does because {{spoiler|Sird is controlling him.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Brainwashed and Crazy]]}}

* [[Helpful Mook]]: and he also tells her about TG's plans to detonate the Galactic bomb in a week's time. Later, he also tells Diamond where the three lake guardians are being held.

* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]: A Type II - Type III hybrid.}}

* [[Awesome Moment of Crowning]]: As seen in his battle against Black.

* [[Bishonen]]

* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]

* [[Kick the Dog]]: Because even an [[Anti-Villain]] can be a [[Jerkass]] when he feels like it. Particularly when {{spoiler|he convinces White's Gigi to abandon her and join him, then acts completely nonchalant when White falls off the ferris wheel.}}

** [[Pet the Dog]]: For some reason, he sends his Servine to her side.

* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: He can be this, like he was {{spoiler|to White's Tepig Gigi.}} A strange example as he [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|does it honestly for the Pokémon's own good rather than for his own.]]

** Not helping is when N gets uncomfortably close to White {{spoiler|inside one of the Nimbasa ferris wheel cars}}.

* [[Not Good with People]]: Type 2, arguably more than even his game counterpart. In the games, he seems pretty neutral and sometimes even a little admiring later on of the protagonist, but here he antagonizes Black quite a bit.

* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist]]

 

* [[Big Bad]]: Of the Unova arc.

* [[Complete Monster]]: His true nature, once revealed, certainly paints him as this.

* [[Rousing Speech]]{{spoiler|/BastardlySpeech}}: His successfully convinces some people into releasing their Pokémon.

* [[Sinister Minister]]: Really gives off this vibe. He holds public sermons where he preaches about the cause behind Team Plasma's crusades, the liberation of Pokemon, to crowds of people he hopes to convert into followers, and appears very kindly and charming...even as he's doing horrible, horrible things.

* [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair|You Gotta Have Green Hair]]

 

* [[Ascended Extra]]: Are much more prominent in this manga than in the games.

* [[Character Tics]]: Each of the Shadow Triad tends to place their arms in a certain location. One places his behind his back, another puts his on his hips, and the last one crosses them in front of his chest.

* [[Spies in a Van]]

* [[Terrible Trio]]
