* [[Action Girl]]: Krystal Spectrum

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Krystal Spectrum going Shadow.

* [[Brian Blessed]]: Captain Hyperion was described by [[Word of God]] as having been made for this actor.

* [[Broken Bird]]: Lady Kiss Void due to attempted controls on her person Perfection attempted to put into place on her creation. Lady Kiss Void becomes [[The Starscream]] because of these controls.

* [[Captured Super Entity]]: While the exact nature of how it was done is not entirely known. Rocket Logistics somehow {{spoiler|captures Daebi/Celetwo}} and uses her to bring Deoxys to the world all while causing the Kanto Incident one year prior.

* [[Casual Time Travel]]: Something that Daebi/Celetwo does.

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: Starts off fairly light... then by the end of Hounds it just is frighteningly depressing, scary and dark.

* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Kanto Incident

* [[The Chessmaster]]: Schwartz, Lady Kiss Void, Perfection, Origin, Mewtwo and arguably, Daebi/Celetwo ({{spoiler|until she gets checkmated fatally}}).

* [[Chronic Backstabbing Disorder]]: Lady Kiss Void, Deoxys, [[It Amused Me|Daebi/Celetwo]]

* [[Combat Referee]]: Mr. Stringy Shirt... shows up exactly once. During the Awesome Land Gym Battle.

* [[Combat Stilettos]]: Justified by the fact Krystal Spectrum levitates. Otherwise she'd never do it.

* [[Death By Origin Story]] : Zigzagged... {{spoiler|Lady Kiss Void only [[Let's Get Dangerous]] after [[Morality Chain]] is killed }}

* [[Den of Iniquity]]: Subverted... unless you call Foozball particularly evil

* [[Diabolus Ex Nihilo]]: Daegre during the last battle.

** Often very literally.

** The appearance of any legendary Pokemon also fits the trope, given that the Great Chain of Being that gets established puts Legendaries above anything not available en masse, including humans.

* [[Different As Night and Day]]: Krystal Spectrum and Lady Kiss Void. Lady Kiss Void quickly and early solved the [[Cloning Blues]] issues.

* [[Do Not Taunt Cthulhu]]: The cause of Perfection's inevitable fate

* [[Doomed New Clothes]]: Krystal Spectrum grabs a new outfit in every town she is in, because of this.

* [[Dragon With an Agenda]]: Perfection.

* [[Dr. Feelgood]]: Krystal Spectrum is on the [[Clear My Name|run from the authorities]], and gets shot by Perfection. This was who they got to patch her up. She chose extreme pain instead of addiction.

* [[The Eighties]]: Inverted, story takes place in the 1980s, and part of Krystal Spectrum's personal hell, was an overdose of this trope played straight in a fiction in the fiction.

* [[Eldritch Abomination]]: Daebi/Celetwo : A Genetially engineered monstrocity that decided the time line is her own [[Time Abyss|personal play ground]]

** Roy's Slowking "Waffles" (AKA "Mr. Popo") fits into this nicely

* [[Elite Mooks]]: The Kult of Kiss and The Daemon Army both under Lady Kiss Void

* [[Empty Shell]]: Perfection after his [[Villainous Breakdown]] (don't worry about him though, he ticked off [[Eldritch Abomination|Daebi/Celetwo]] so he still is [[People Puppet|up and walking]]. He also has killer scone recipe you just have to try.)

* [[Evil Tower of Ominousness]]: Rocket Logistics Headquarters.

** Started popping up, when [[A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing|Lady Kiss Void]] {{spoiler|did not want her picture taken}}, but was running a [[Propraganda Machine]].

* [[Evil Knockoff]]: Zigzagged with [[Dark Magical Girl|Lady Kiss Void]] for [[Action Girl|Krystal Spectrum]]. Mostly via application of [[Cloning Blues]] early on, and [[Doppelganger|Lady Kiss Void]] deciding she does not WANT to be Krystal Spectrum.

* [[Evolving Weapon]]: The Pokemon to a certain extent. Krystal was using her Starmie, Espeon and Roselia as ways to augment her personal self... when she was coating herself in stopal to deal with Perfection's gun shot wound.

* [[The Farmer and The Viper]]: {{spoiler|Part of the big change made to Lady Kiss Void to have her sacrifice herself.}}

* [[A Fete Worse Than Death]]: Being fed to Moltres.

** [[Big Bad]]: Schwartz

** [[The Dragon]]: Perfection

** [[The Brute]]: Polaris

** [[Dark Chick]]: Selina Ivy and later Lady Kiss Void

** [[Reasonable Authority Figure]] : CEO Stoenn Spectrum of Titan Co.

** [[The Hero]]: Sepia

** The Engine Room of the Jirachi-7

** Probably Krystal Spectrum's lab north of Cerulean City in Kanto (which is why people thought the Jirachi-7 parts were natural after [[Chekhov's Gunman|the Kanto Incident.]])

* [[Hallucinations]]: They happen.

** Constant makes a reference to being a Mankey then Primeape the [[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]] series. Blaming it on lack of oxygen to her brain.

* [[Heroic Safe Mode]]: At least once per chapter.

* [[High Altitude Battle]]: Part of the Final Battle.

* [[Hive Queen]]: Lady Kiss Void for The Kult of Kiss.

* [[Hobbes Was Right]]: Mixed in with [[Humans Are Morons]].

** Money Schwartz, Weiss

* [[I Don't Like the Sound of That Place]]: Quite a few names of the locations they visit

** Which adds for [[The Messiah|odd implications for Roy's Ego]].

* [[Ill Girl]]: Lady Kiss Void's pet human

** Admin Mercury {{spoiler|1=[[Word of God]] had a writer commenting about how she felt irritated she was beating the audience over the head with the fact Admin Fredrick Mercury, A JAG officer from the Galactic USoG Philedelphia (I see what you did there) had HIV... as she felt it was only missing a group of Drag Queens singing songs from [[Rent]], and the person from [[Degrassi High]] with HIV/AIDS doing an [[Afterschool Special (TV)|Afterschool Special]] type deal.}}

* [[Impractically Fancy Outfit]]: A fair amount of Krystal Spectrum's [[Doomed New Clothes]].

* [[Indy Ploy]]

* [[Innocent Fanservice Girl]]: Krystal Spectrum... but she got better.

** Lady Kiss Void does literally push the [[Ill Girl]] out of her bed, when waking up next to her.

* [[Kill All Humans]]

** Most of the Police appears owned by Rocket Logistics... or competely controlled.

*** Until {{spoiler|investigators started noticing that Team Temporal's profiles did not match their acts.}} Making them suspicious of Rocket Logistics.

** Krystal's daughter from the future to Fujitsu

* [[Master of Illusion]]: Lady Kiss Void, Leader, Team Network, Daebi/Celetwo, Krystal Spectrum, Private Dwayne Spectrum and many others.

* [[Memetic Molester]]: Waffles The Slowking to a certain extent. Seems to target [[The Woobie|Constance MacKealan]] for the most part.

* [[Merged Reality]]: Two. One being the driving purpose of story, and the other in the form of Pewter's construction of the Pokemon Box as a fully functioning world inside a computer.

** {{spoiler|Then the Screaming Dead in Gods and Self}}

* [[The Men in Black]]: Team Network, and played straight. While not an enemy, they are allied more to information dispersal, than anything else.

* [[Mind Probe]]: Lady Kiss Void does this compulsively

** Hari did this to watch Krystal Spectrum's and Royal MacKealan's Mental Health.

* [[Mole in Charge]]: {{spoiler|Lady Kiss Void does this to take over Titan Co.}}

* [[Morality Chain]]: Zigzagged with Lady Kiss Void and her pet human. The girl dies, Lady Kiss Void becomes [[The Starscream]]

* [[Never the Selves Shall Meet]]: Ends up {{spoiler|nearly killing Krystal Spectrum}} in the end of the Titans Arc.

** In the same Arc it is how {{spoiler|Schwartz hijacks Deoxys' body}}

* [[No Equal Opportunity Time Travel]]: Daebi/Celetwo {{spoiler|sends Team Temporal to a past where humans are not welcome in amongst the Pokemon}}

* [[No Periods Period]]: Krystal Spectrum... who is pregnant one and a half times over the plot. {{spoiler|Palkia creates a pocket dimension two years in the future for Roy. So Roy could view his Wedding... and bait Roy into giving the lifeless doll to be Krystal in the Pocket Dimension the soul of his sister, to Squink Roy big time. That technically counts as half a pregnancy for Krystal.}}

** Though the pregnancy during the final battle arc, it is revealed she just doesn't talk about it with others (and may possibly be on birth control that limits how this time affects her over all).

* [[Not What I Signed On For]]: Samuel Oak's reason for resignation.

* [[Of Corsets Sexy]]

* [[Room Full of Crazy]]: The Boss Fight room for Lady Kiss Void {{spoiler|which is a mosoleum to {{Yandere her Pet}} }}

* [[Rousseau Was Right]]: Pretty much everybody in the story applies to this. It is what allows Lady Kiss Void to go Yandere then [[The Starscream]].

** Working as rather zig zagged usage of [[Bondage Is Bad]] since the characters doing this stuff for events glimpsed "on camera" were villains.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: We call that character development

* [[Sailor Fuku]]: Lady Kiss Void's Pet wears one. Likely because Lady Kiss Void has a fetish for it.

* [[Save This Person Save the World]]: Played nearly straight on Vermillion

* [[Sexy Jester]]: Celetwo/Daebi.

* [[Schoolgirl Lesbians]]: Lady Kiss Void and her pet human.

* [[School Uniforms Are the New Black]]: Mocked in one of the end chapter Omakes.

** Lady Kiss Void's pet human seems to run round in hers a lot however.

** Daebi/Celetwo does this on a more grand scale in the over all time. She operates under the rules of Dialga (whom she refers to not wanting to tick off a few times) and still will do what she can to not only create Temporal Paradoxes--but even wander around Timelines she is not even suppose to exist in.

* [[Seen It All]]

** Type 1: Mewvander/Mewtwo

* [[Slave Collar]]: Lady Kiss Void on her pet human. It is merely symbolic. Jezibelle would likely grab it back on, if it were removed from her.

* [[Someone Has to Die]]: {{spoiler|Vermil, when Lady Kiss Void is attempting to Mind Control '''the entire universe itself'''}}

** Daebi/Celetwo but that is due to different time lines she is created in

** Mr. Popo and Waffles

* [[Spot the Imposter]]: Lady Kiss Void does this fo Krystal Spectrum a few times

* [[Stripperiffic]]: comments about Krystal Spectrum's various outfits.

* [[Sue Donym]]: Unwillingly put upon anyone who is color traced. Taken to the extreme in that the pseudonym becomes the person's actual name.

* [[Super OCD]]: Perfection.

* [[There Are No Good Executives]]: Subverted. They can be just as bad as anybody else. {{spoiler|The Board of Directors of Rocket Logistics even called Schwartz insane}}

* [[This Is Madness]]: It gets said.

* [[Timeline Altering MacGuffin]]: Daebi/Celetwo hands this to a young Krystal Spectrum to try to [[Temporal Paradox]] history enough.

* [[Time Stands Still]]: Celetwo/Daebi does this every now and then.

* [[Time Travel]]: One of the groups gets referred to as "Team Temporal"... for a well supported set of reasons.

* [[Token Lesbian]]: In amongst [[Cast Full of Gay|Gym Leader Nick, Stoenn Spectrum, Admin Mercury, Max and Polaris ]], Lady Kiss Void '''could''' be considered this.

* [[Too Funny to Be Evil]]: Daebi/Celetwo attempts this... but [[Eldritch Abomination|it just never seems right]].

* [[With Great Power Comes Great Insanity]]: Krystal Spectrum after going shadow.

** Technically this coupled with [[Go Mad From the Revelation]] for Daebi/Celetwo

* [[Yandere]]: Somewhat applicable to Lady Kiss Void, particularly with how her motive was about her pet human (and her pet human dying)

* [[You Watch Too Much X]] : it happens

{{reflist}}
