Line 67:
* [[Power of Trust]]
* [[Rapunzel Hair]]: At least until she chopped most of it off.
* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: Initially, she fully believed that Mitsu was Mike's choice, though this was before learning of Mike's feelings for Flannery. Now with him fully admitting feelings for her, the poor girl just doesn't know how to feel.
* [[The Heart]]: Kasiya is often the glue that holds the rest of the characters together.
* [[The Reliable One]]

{{quote| '''Written by:''' Mikallen}}
 
{{quote| Mike is a small-town boy from Lavaridge who seems to constantly [[Failure Is the Only Option|draw the short stick in the lottery of life]]. When he was a young boy, he fell head over heals in love with the young [[Girl Next Door|Flannery]], which sort of...[[Stalker With a Crush|consumed his entire life]]. It was a completely healthy longing. Maxie, the leader of Team Magma, saw this and decided to use it to his advantage. [[Manipulative Bastard|Promising him]] a safer world [[Love Is a Weakness|for his beloved]], he had the young boy work for him and steal the Red Orb (an ancient relic that helped contain a powerful Pokemon: Groudon). On the eve of Mike's 14'th birthday, Maxie released Groudon, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|causing the city of Lilycove to be nearly destroyed]]. Mike saw hundreds die in front of him as buildings crumbled and waves washed over the city. [[My God, What Have I Done?|Overwhelmed by horror and guilt]], Mike fled back home, where for the next few years, lived in constant paranoia of everyone finding out his involvement in what was now known as the Lilycove Incident. Over that time he slipped further into madness, soon being tormented by a creation of his own mind: Milo. Milo, appearing as a phantom, constantly assailed the boy with [[It's All My Fault|grief]] over his misdeeds. Eventually, unable to take it anymore, he fled to Kanto, disguising his trip as the usual Pokemon adventure. All worked out fine for a while, but soon his past caught up with him. Unable to take anymore of it, Mike [[Freak -Out|completely snapped]], going through an almost entire personality override as his entire life crashed and burned around him and he [[Battle in The Center of The Mind|struggles]] with Milo's [[Slowly Slipping Into Evil|increasing hold]] on him. }}

Line 197:
Ampharos [[The Klutz|"Beacon"]]<br />
Magmortar [[The Stoic|"Napalm"]]<br />
Typhlosion [[Hot -Blooded|"Felsic"]]<br />
Crawduant [[The Brute|"Xanthos"]]<br />

Line 239:
** For example, when Mike was facing off against some Magma Grunts in his mission to stop Maxie, he set a girl's hair on fire, [[Laughing Mad|cackling hysterically]] as he did.
* [[Fighting From the Inside]]: Done quite literally when Mike fought a two-pronged battle against Maxie while Milo (projected by Portabello) kept his [[Fighting a Shadow|friends at bay]] by commanding his other Pokemon.
* [[Freak -Out]]: Mike's entire secret past was revealed by Giovanni (on national television no less) to everyone at the Slateport Beach Party, including Flannery and his closest friends. Her reaction was (understandably) disgust and she left him in front of the entire world, but not before calling him sick and kicking dirt in his face as he begged for her to understand. Mike's brain ''shattered''. Milo resurfaced almost instantly, took over, and went on a rampage, attacking people around him and slamming his head so many times into the ground that it left a massive scar on his forehead.
** This was exactly what Giovanni had [[Executive Meddling|planned]], as Mike and his friends were beginning to get too close to sabotaging their plans, and he needed a way to split the group.
* [[Freud Was Right]]: Mike's player has stated Milo is basically Mike's Id gone awry, as most of what Milo wants and tries to accomplish are [[The Mind Is a Plaything of The Body|hedonistic desires]].
* [[Good Is Not Nice]]: Mike's newer methods of problem solving involve either violently dissuading people from the dark path, or scaring the ever-loving shit out of them with threats or psychological torment.
* [[Go Out Withwith a Smile]]: Mike's final thought before he died was that the mental silence that came before it was wonderful, as he has been plagued by Milo and other voices for years.
* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]: Milo.
* [[Guardian Entity]]: Amusingly, Milo fits this role. He has halted Mike's attempts at suicide and takes over his body should the kid become too stressed or tired. While this is merely out of self-preservation (because Milo knows that if Mike were to die he too would cease to exist), it still counts.
Line 252:
* [[He Who Fights Monsters]]: Maxie makes a mocking jab at Mike along these lines, claiming that the more Mike struggles against the evils in the world, the more he'll have to rely on his inner darkness to defeat them.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Mike commented before his Gym Battle that Watson [[Irony|laughs too much.]]
* [[Hot -Blooded]]: Literally. His flame powers are caused by his blood reacting explosively to the air around him, which is why he always radiates heat, and his scars seep smoke.
* [[Identity Amnesia]]: Mike's will to run away was so potent that on the boat ride to Kanto, he temporarily lost his memory of his past, including his love of Flannery, which had shaped his entire life up until that point.
* [[Imaginary Friend]]: from hell.
Line 276:
* [[Motifs]]: Notice the flames on his clothes and that most of his team consists of Fire Pokemon?
* [[My Greatest Failure]]
* [[Near -Rape Experience]]: Milo almost had his way with Winona after pretending to be Mike and assaulting her, only to be foiled as Mike resurfaced, leading to [[My God, What Have I Done?|quite the shock]].
* [[Nietzsche Wannabe]]: Milo. He feels that everything Mike holds dear is pointless, and that he is basically trying to take over and ruin Mike's life to prove that.
* [[Painful Transformation]]: Mike's resurrection was done so with a good deal of Moltres's personal essence, and altered his body slightly because of the phoenix's natural power over fire. When it first surfaced, it did so by forcing flames out of pretty much ''every orifice on his body, including his eyes.''The transition afterward was just as unpleasant, as his entire body was basically forcing all of his old blood out by means of his new high pressurized blood ''boiling it to the surface.'' Because of this, Mike's wounds eject smoke, and he has vomited molten bile more than once, likening it to the “worst case of acid reflux he's ever had times a thousand”.
Line 295:
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Started the instant his friends mentioned traveling to Hoenn, specifically Lavaridge.
* [[Scars Are Forever]]: His smoke-seeping forehead scar.
* [[Self -Harm]]: It's his favorite. His method of choice? Smashing his head into solid objects.
* [[Self-Insert Fic]]: Mike shares his first name and a physical similarity to his player, a fact that slightly embarrasses him now. The player states that another reason he underwent such a dramatic and frightening shift was to differentiate the character from the player.
* [[Ship Tease]]: Mitsu and Kasiya.
Line 322:
** This has a particularly potent effect on his Breloom, Portabello. The Pokemon can see Milo as clearly as Mike can, and violently despises him. Milo relishes in annoying the Breloom, and will go out of his way to piss him off through taunting or injuring Mike in some way.
* [[Tragic Hero]]: Through his quest for love, Mike has unwittingly caused hundreds of deaths and countless trauma, causing him to go completely insane with guilt.
* [[Troll]]: Milo is ''relentless'' with his verbal abuse, having taunted Keegan for each girl that he likes [[Romantic Runner -Up|liking Mike better]], the entire group of friends for accepting Kilik despite him personally killing someone in cold blood, and Sasha and Kirsa for being lesbians (even though they're not. Well, Kirsa isn't. Sasha's just [[Bi the Way|special.]]) He does this in hopes that they will abandon Mike, and in his grief Milo can take control for good.
* [[Trying to Catch Me Fighting Dirty]]
* [[Turn in Your Badge]]: After the incident at Slateport, Mike was branded a criminal and as such, the Pokemon League suspended his license. Figuring he didn't need to play by the rules anymore, Mike withdrew two more Pokemon for the Magma mission, bringing his current total to 8.
Line 358:
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]
* [[Berserk Button]]: As long as your name doesn't happen to be [[Hate Sink|Mazarin Stanky]], you should be fine.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: Type IV
* [[Bi the Way]]
* [[Bottle Fairy]]
* [[Dangerously -Short Skirt]]: Considering how much she moves around, or how much wind can be generated in Pokemon Battles. Not that she really cares, though.
* [[Everyone Looks Sexier If French]]: Berets are sexy.
* [[Everything Sounds Sexier in French]]
* [[Fetish]]: Hey kid, ya like schoolgirls?
* [[Funetik Aksent]]
* [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot]]: Sasha thinks so! Why can't [[Lust Object|Kasiya?]]
* [[Gratuitous French]]
* [[Hate Sink]]: Mazarin. Sasha absolutely despises him. She reached her [[Rage Breaking Point|breaking point]] when he was [[Deadpan Snarker|still making sexual advances and cocky jokes at her, despite being tied to a tree and threatened with a tazer]] while she tried interrogating him on Mike's whereabouts.
Line 486:
* [[Mind Over Matter]]
* [[Paint It Black]]: When Nina thought that Sabrina was killed by Team Rocket.
* [[Shout -Out]]: Nina and her Misdreavus are named after the Williams sisters of [[Tekken]].
* [[Tangled Family Tree]]: First she was Sabrina's sister, then she's not. Then she's Moarde's daughter, then she's not. Then she's some random moron's daughter, which makes her Whitney's sister maybe. Hell, we're pretty sure the player doesn't even know at this point.
* [[Telepathy]]: Nina's most prevalent, outstanding skill that she has been developing from a very young age. She frequently uses it to communicate with her Pokemon-- most notably Anna-- as well as Sabrina.
Line 512:
Skarmory [[Jerkass|"Alvero"]]<br />
Grovyle {{Narcissist "Pan"}} <br />
Growlithe [[Hot -Blooded|"Eithne"]] }}
{{hardline}}
* [[Abusive Parents]]: Todd Summers' treatment of his only son often bordered on abusive, if not for the grueling amount of work he gave him and the constant [["The Reason You Suck" Speech|speeches]]. It's hinted at that Mr. Summers' physically assaulted his son, more than the dope slaps he's been given at times, and its entirely possible that this treatment is the main reason for Keegan's general [[Heroic Self-Deprecation|outlook on life]].
Line 554:
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Keegan is the red to Jaeshan's blue.
* [[Romantic Runner -Up]]: First with Flannery, then later with Kasiya. Both times, he was the runner-up to Mike.
* [[Ship Tease]]: with Sasha and Riza, and even Dante at some point, even though that might be wishful thinking on some of the players' parts.
* [[Sir Swearsalot]]
Line 626:
* [[Mysterious Past]]: Mitsu is very tight-lipped about her past, and has yet to fully (or even partially) reveal any measure of it to the other characters.
* [[Phlebotinum Rebel]]: One day, in the middle of an experiment, Mitsu escaped, causing the Rocket lab to explode in the process. It set off a chain reaction that set fire to the nearby forest. While she feels no remorse for the potential scientist deaths, Mitsu feels very guilty about the Pokemon she has harmed in her escape process.
* [[Shout -Out]]: [[Cardcaptor Sakura (Manga)|Her last name.]]
* [[Shrinking Violet]]: Mitsu has always been a very shy girl, but the Slateport Incident, which affected just about everyone, has caused a bit of a [[Character Development|change]] in Mitsu, and she is starting to [[Grew a Spine|become more certain of her own abilities as a trainer and a person.]]
* [[The Medic]]: By default, but not many know of her powers and she is not comfortable enough to frequently use them.
Line 723:
* [[Brother-Sister Team]]: With Junko.
* [[Half-Identical Twins]]: With Junko.
* [[My Sister Is Off -Limits]]: GUESS.
* [[Theme Twin Naming]]
