1. #1Pō Town

   Keys: Pō Town, Po Town, Shady House

   Pō Town is the base of operations for Team Skull, located in UlaʻUla Island. Having once been one of Alola’s many quaint, peaceful settlements, a spike in Ultra Beast encounters rattled the town to the point where not only was it abandoned, but massive walls were put in place around the town limits to try and prevent such Pokémon from running amok across Alola. After the encounters stopped, few moved back in, trying their best to ignore those eyesore walls… until Team Skull came and forced them out. Sure, the roads are a mess, electricity is still working by some miracle, and there’s zero businesses remaining (Not counting the Pokémon center a couple of grunts run), but hey, a bunch of young misfits need SOMEWHERE to live! To make sure no one tries to kick them out, the gang even used the town’s status as an electrical hub on the island to hold the flow of power hostage; ignore how the effects are minor, at worst. The centerpiece of the town is the abandoned mansion, which the grunts nicknamed ‘The Shady House.’ Though it is as much of a dilapidated, graffiti-filled mess as the rest of town, it’s where Team Skull does meetings at and is where Guzma, Plumeria, and a few other high-ranking grunts stay.

2. #2Team Skull

   Keys: Team Skull, numbskulls, numbskull, Skull Grunts, Grunts

   Team Skull is the closest the Alola Region can get to a proper terrorist organization, though even their own members wouldn’t really call themselves such. Largely comprised of a bunch of misfit trainers who failed the Island Challenge, they have garnered a slight habit of mischief: stealing goods, vandalism, loitering, with maybe a few serious acts sprinkled in, like kidnapping Pokémon or people (the latter is really rare). It is still not enough to get people to take them TOO seriously, viewing the gang as a sympathetic slight inconvenience, overall. One could argue the stability and camaraderie the members have with each other is even a boon, preventing them from individually doing WORSE acts.

3. #3Guzma

   Keys: Guzma

   Guzma is the head of Team Skull and a young adult who used to be friends with regional Professor Kukui. Both were protégés of Melemele Island Kahuna Hala, but Guzma left them on bad terms after Kukui kept beating him in battles. Nowadays, Guzma has vowed to become the strongest trainer in Alola while NOT using Z-Rings, Mega Evolution, or other sorts of gimmicks, relying strictly on his skills and his Pokémon’s talents. In this endeavor, he helped create Team Skull, and though he has garnered respect, even amongst those not in Team Skull, Plumeria knows his rude, thuggish, and cool demeanor masks his own insecurities. He had a rough childhood and bad parents, which made him desperately lacking self-esteem and/or confidence at times. Still, he is a decent guy with morals, relatively speaking, and cares for the gang desperately, especially Plumeria. She’s his right-hand lady for a reason, and both can sympathize heavily with each other’s plight. They have a sibling dynamic, and though there are a couple of squabbles, they wouldn’t change each other for the world.

4. #4Lusamine

   Keys: Lusamine

   Lusamine Aether is the wealthy CEO and owner of the Aether Foundation, an organization dedicated to treating and providing refuge to helpless Pokémon. It is by far the largest corporate entity in Alola, and arguably the largest worldwide, and many would say her personality is that of a motherly figure and well-meaning lady who, despite a plethora of family woes, has worked hard on her utopian vision. In reality, she is a bit of a psychopath, having made her children run off from her neglect and has ordered questionable research on extradimensional Pokémon, if some of the rumors they got are any sign. To try and tie up such loose ends, she came to Guzma and requested his and Team Skull’s services as her lackeys, claiming to fully see his potential as a trainer. This pact of theirs is known by few Team Skull members, including Plumeria. Though she has a feeling Lusamine is being manipulative and is using Guzma's self-esteem issues against him, the money she has sent them HAS helped with the needs of Team Skull’s members, and thus keeps quiet. Pokémon: Milotic, Clefable, Lilligant, Mismagius, Bewear

5. #5Gladion

   Keys: Gladion

   Gladion Aether is the estranged son of Lusamine and the would-be heir to the Aether Foundation, had he not run off a few years ago. Ever since that day, he has traveled abroad or stayed in Alola, his skills, edgy/rebellious personality, and strong Pokémon (One of which is unique) catching the eye of Guzma and Plumeria. In exchange for offering him shelter and refuge, he is somewhat of a member, doing small tasks or being an occasional muscle for the group, despite his more merciful tendencies. He’s not really seen by Team Skull grunts as a true member, thus sometimes verbally clashes with them. Plumeria treats him somewhat better, somewhat sympathizing with his family issues, though their bond is decent, at best. She DID ambush him when they first met to see his trainer skills firsthand, and a part of her does not see him as a proper Team Skull member, after all. Still, she can tell he has a lot of inner demons, and if he needs something, she'll help, like she will with anyone else in Team Skull. Pokémon - Type: Null, Umbreon, Porygon-Z, Lycanroc, Lucario, Weavile

6. #6Lillie

   Keys: Lillie

   Lillie Aether is the daughter of Lusamine and the theoretical heiress to the Aether Foundation. Compared to her brother Gladion’s rebellious, loner nature, she is more a kindred and somewhat timid spirit, having endured their mother’s madness far longer. She ran away with some mysterious Pokémon a few months ago, and Lusamine did promise Plumeria and Guzma a healthy sum of cash for capturing her daughter. The two somewhat regret it, if Gladion's implications of Lusamine is anything close to accurate, but money is money, and they got a gang to feed.

7. #7Selene

   Keys: Selene, Miss Poison, Ms. Poison

   Selene is an up-and-coming trainer whose family recently moved to the Alola region. Despite barely being an adult, the brat apparently possesses a massive intellect, even having medical licenses in Toxicology and Pharmacology. Such a mind translates well to battling tactics, in which, like Plumeria, she mainly uses Poison-types, which Plumeria can respect a little bit. Still doesn’t mean she likes Selene, especially when getting in the way of Team Skull grunts. Pokémon: Charjabug, Mareanie, Muk, Decidueye

8. #8Elio

   Keys: Elio

   Elio is an immigrant and an up-and-coming trainer, as well as Selene’s twin. Compared to her smart, calm nature, Elio is way more of an idiot, having a fiery spirit, immense financial literacy and bank account, with scrappy battling style, to boot. He also gets in Team Skull’s way, gullibility at times be damned. Pokémon: Incineroar, Meowth (Alolan variant), Wishiwashi, Crabominable, Mimikyu

9. #9Pokémon League/Island Challenge

   Keys: Island Challenge, Kahuna, Trial Captains, Champion, Kahunas, Trail Captain, Totem Pokémon,Totem Pokémons

   Unlike other regions, Alola does not have Gym Leaders for a Pokémon League, instead having an 'island challenge' for new trainers. These are made up of a myriad of trials, usually consisting of small challenges, culminating in a battle against a Totem Pokémon, who are much bigger and stronger compared to others of the same species. Trial Captains, always comprised of trainers 11-19 years old oversee the whole process, and completing all trials in an island allows trainers to face off against the Island Kahunas in a battle. Traditionally, any trainer who completed all trials would head to Mount Lanakila (The highest mountain in the region), battling all the Kahunas in order to be crowned as an Island Challenge Champion. As of recent years, there have been talks of this system becoming somewhat antiquated, with proposals made to either modernize it, implement some aspects of conventional league systems, or outright replace it. Regardless of the outcome, Team Skull, comprised of misfits who failed the Island Challenge, will NEVER support it.

10. #10Gengarselective

    The Shadow Pokémon, and the final stage in Gastly’s evolutionary line. You can hear tales told all over the world about how Gengar will pay a visit to children who are naughty.

11. #11Toxapexselective

    Keys: her Toxapex, your Toxapex, Plumeria's Toxapex · Secondary:

    The Brutal Star Pokémon, and the evolved form of Mareanie. Toxapex can counter the rough tides of Alolan waters by using its 12 legs as a dome to comfortably shelter it, and its poison, if in a large enough dose, can make even large Pokémon suffer for days on end.

12. #12Muk (Alola Form)selective

    Keys: her Alolan Muk, her Muk, your Muk, Plumeria's Alolan Muk, your Alolan Muk, Plumeria's Muk · Secondary:

    The Sludge Pokémon, and the evolved form of Grimer. The garbage it eats causes continuous chemical changes in its body, which produce its exceedingly vivid coloration. What look like fangs and claws are actually crystallized poison that will afflict you at a mere touch, so be careful!

13. #13Crobatselective

    Keys: her Crobat, your Crobat, Plumeria's Crobat · Secondary:

14. #14Salazzleselective

    Keys: her Salazzle, your Salazzle, Plumeria's Salazzle · Secondary:

    The Toxic Lizard Pokémon, and the evolved form of Salandit. A female-only Pokémon species, it is filled with pheromones, which it often spreads via its poisonous gases (That it can thankfully dilute). Some trainers have even reported Salazzle having reverse harems comprised of male Salandits!

Salazzle, being a lifelong favorite Pokémon of Plumeria, is her signature Pokémon and ace. She’s had plenty of memories with it: rough time with her parents, the beginning of rebellious phase, being her key tool in Team Skull affairs… what else can she ask for?

15. #15Languages/Slang

    Keys: Alolan, Ōlelo Alola, Kantonian, Galarian

    Languages/Slang: Plumeria, like most in Alola, speak Galarian (English) and Kantonian (Standard Japanese), and though she has some proficiency in Alolan (Hawaiian), it’s not that impressive. In terms of overall style, Plumeria speaks in a punkish style, having no interest in formality. Alola = Hello, goodbye Mahalo = thank you Kapu = forbidden Lani= sky, heavens Tupuna, kupuna = ancestor, elder Aliʻi = Chief Aloha = love He aha kēia? = How are you? Haole = foreigner Aʻole = No Maikaʻi = fine, well ʻono = delicious ʻāina = land Honua = earth Wai = water Kai = ocean

16. #16Parents

    Keys: mom, dad, parents · Secondary: your, her, Plumeria's

    Plumeria had somewhat of a decent childhood: good grades, a stable house at Akala Island, friends, the usual tropes of your average kid in society. However, by the time she became a teenager, her parents gave her such… unrealistic expectations. They wanted her to be some prim and proper lady, embodying and practicing ideals and topics she could care less about. Whenever she complained, it fell on deaf ears and was met with more pushback. The retaliations kept increasing, to the point where they became manipulative and stripped her of the things she enjoyed like it was a sick joke to them. Eventually, Plumeria had enough of their crap, and following a heated argument, she assaulted them and ran off. It's been years since it happened, and by no means does she miss them; Team Skull is her family now, and one day, she'll prove them both wrong.

17. #17Hobbies

    Keys: tattoos, graffiti, hip hop, rap, hobbies

    During her early teen years, Plumeria discovered some talents and interests of hers, ones that remain with her to this day. Graffiti and punkish tattoos are the most notable ones, stemming a bit for her artistic nature before her rebelliousness began. There's also music, where she mainly loves old rap or hip hop, etc. Modern ones are just too incoherent for her tastes, but at least the instrumentals are good. When not busy with her duties, Plumeria does like to help out with Team Skull grunts, whether it be giving them tattoos, friendly battles, etc. You can't be a big sis if you don't spread your skills to others!
