Pokemon, or Pocket Monsters, are creatures that resemble various plants, animals, objects, and other concepts, inhabit virtually every corner of the world. These particular ones that inhabit Newt's suitcase come from the Johto and Kanto regions, the two particular places that Newt lived in and explored while he was present in the world of Pokemon.
Wearing: Newt's green breeder headband Markings: Her toes are pink instead of solid tan Holding:
Met at New Bark Town (level 5) | June 26th, 2017 A happy go lucky little Audino that just loves to love. She's very interested in everything around her and seems to be very in touch with other people's emotions. She's a natural little caretaker, fussing over Newt and all of the Pokemon they encounter, much to Newt's amusement. She seems to really enjoy finding things to show her trainer, everything from berries to rocks--whatever she can get her paws on.
Overall Queenie is just a delightful little creature that loves to learn new things which makes her a rather fantastic little apprentice for Newt. During the course of their travels together Newt has already taught her out to write some words as well as how to perform basic first aid on others, just in case they don't have a potion on hand. She seems to really enjoy all of it and also especially loves looking after the more skittish members of their party, Rowen and Bertie.
Wearing: Markings: Has spotty paws; ears have faint spots all over them Holding:
Met in Cherrygrove (level 1) | July 2nd, 2017 Newt decided to adopt this small little fluffball after her mother, Lana, presented him with her on the network. He was immediately taken with how calm and honestly adorably lazy she was, opting to take her into his care. Now that Roxy is with him and his small group, she's taken to both Queenie and Merlin and will usually try and curl up near or on top of them to nap if she can. She loves having her belly rubbed and seems to greatly enjoy romping through flowers..before flopping down for a nap.
It took quite some time for her to get to the appropriate level for it but, after encountering Diana's pack in Ecruteak, Roxy's drive seemed to have been boosted and she started to train harder. Several weeks later, the small pup finally evolved while play fighting with some of the others, evolving into the same form as her mother.
And boy is she proud of that fact.
Now that she's evolved and is respected among Newt's companions as one of the leaders, Roxy has decided to follow her mother's lead and start a pack of her own. It's a bit of an oddball mix of Pokemon but they're all ones that Roxy trusts to protect Newt and all the Pokemon that stay in the cottage. Anyone that comes close and isn't recognized will find themselves confronted by the Lycanroc and her troops so be warned!
Wearing: Markings: Ears and paws are darker pink than normal Holding:
Met on Route 11 (level 24) | September 18th, 2017 This adorable little puff took interested in the group as they started their trek up Route 11, following along behind them at a distance to see what they were all about. Eventually he ended up on Albus's back, chatting with Queenie who found him to be the most adorable thing ever. She promptly introduced him to the other members of Newt's party before finally introducing him to the man himself--
And that was that. Jacob decided then and there he wanted to be apart of the group, so much so--in fact--that he allowed Newt to properly catch him. (It had nothing to do with Queenie. Nope.)
Newt can tell the little guy has a lot of potential but it was his modest nature that settled the name Newt picked out for him.
Wearing: Markings: Has extra red stripes on his back that now stretch up the back of his neck; toes on his forelegs are red; has the beginnings of a red belly Holding:
Received in Goldenrod City (egg) | November 2nd, 2017 Hatched on November 8th, 2017 A very chill little fellow that is quite content to curl up on Newt's lap or with other Pokemon. He loves listening to stories and seems to be extremely intrigued by Newt's work. Quong can get a bit snappy when others try to distract him from something he's paying attention to, not much caring for others interrupting Newt's stories especially, but he's usually pretty quick to calm down. (The exception is when Uric is involved. Quong seems to get very frustrated with the odd little thing very easily.)
As he's matured he seems to be getting better about getting frustrated so easily, channeling his frustration into other things such as tending the fire in Newt's cottage and tending helping Felsic the Slugma to tend to eggs. He still spends a lot of time with Pamela the Bellosom but more often than not he can be found in the nursery that Newt has set up, preferring the quiet, peaceful atmosphere there to anywhere else in the cabin or grounds.
After making the decision to become apart of Newt's team properly, the wizard began to notice some interesting changes in Quong. More than once he spotted the little lizard walking on his hind legs--slightly hunched over and occasionally dropping back to all fours--but upright all the same. He's gotten slightly bigger and longer overall as well and the patterning on his back has changed slightly. Newt's kept track of the changes and is curious to see where it may go from here!
Wearing: Markings: Notched right ear; right wing misshapen Holding:
Met in the Dark Cave (level 10) | July 15th, 2017 Newt encountered this extremely stoic Noibat during his first night in the dark cave. The small creature was worn out, having been chased by some other Pokemon if Newt had to guess, and had laid on the ground near his campfire for a few hours before allowing anyone to get near him. Newt and Queenie immediately set about taking care of the Noibat, offering him some berries and a more comfortable place to sleep while he regained his strength. He seems content to stick with the group for the time being, probably in order to keep away from the larger Pokemon that had been messing with him.
Unlike Merlin who tends to disappear for days at a time to go exploring, Salazar seems content to continue traveling with Newt and Queenie, usually found clinging to the young man's jacket to sleep. He does go flying at night but is always back by morning and has, more than once, brought a Pokemon back to Newt for some TLC because of an injury.
Salazar has recently shown interest in some of the birds that have visited their camp while traveling Route 13 and ended up having eggs with a visiting Pelipper--though Newt has no idea which visitor it was just yet. He doesn't seem keen to have a life-long mate just yet but perhaps one day he'll find his one true love. Until then he's going to continue to train with Merlin and Fae, yearning for his final evolution.
Wearing: Markings: Star marking on forehead has a dark star inside it Holding:
Met on Mt. Moon (level 12) | October 9th, 2017 Mt. Moon was already a rather extraordinary place but then Newt happened upon this young creature. His Dex had informed him that Orangurus were a rare sight on the mountain and he hadn't expected to end up hosting one in his camp but Cornelius had apparently had other plans for the wizard. He'd ended up settling near the fire during one of Newt's story-telling sessions and lingered around, obviously quite curious about the traveling party.
Newt decided to chat with him and it turned into the two communicating through makeshift sign language that they developed and written words--as Newt realized quite quickly how intelligent the Oranguru was and taught him basic words. Before he knew it, it was morning and Newt found himself completely charmed by Cornelius--and the same could be said about Cornelius towards Newt. He decided to stay with the party and seems rather keen on learning everything that Newt is willing to teach, following the young man around so he can watch every little thing he does and attempt to mimic it.
Met in ???? (level 5-15) | September ???? Newt honestly has no idea how many Joltiks are actually in his suitcase at this point; he hasn't bothered to count and really doesn't mind the little colony that's developed.
Wearing: Markings: Has spotty paws; toes are white on all paws but hind right Holding:
Received from Roxy and Mopsus (egg) | March 31st, 2018 Hatched April 4th, 2018 One of Mopsus and Roxy's Easter puppies, Newt decided to keep one of the eggs for himself, wanting to raise another Rockruff and see what evolution he would get this time. Scout is a very easy going little puppy, very much the type to roll over and let others rough house on top of him rather than being involved in the roughhousing. He loves to sprawl out in the sun and let his tongue loll out, very much the type of canine to enjoy long cat naps if you allow him. He's a very good listener though, like his mother and father both, and has taken well to learning various commands and even some specialty tricks, very keen on learning to do things around the cottage like the Audino kids do!
Scout quickly found his best friends in Ano, Molly and Nundu and the four of them are usually romping about together exploring or just dozing in a giant pile together.
Met in Cherrygrove (level 4) | July 4th, 2017 Unbeknownst to Newt, this adorable little girl and her companion Fay were so curious about Newt that they decided to hitch a ride in his coat pockets when he finally left town. Morgan is the gentle one of the pair and loves to munch on snacks while huddled under the collar of Newt's jacket or back in his pocket. She gets along with every Pokemon that she meets, even if they're a bit wary of her, and loves to share snacks when she can.
After a call from Armin concerning one of his rescued Pokemon, Morgan made the decision to allow herself to be "caught" officially in order to pay Armin and his team a visit.
Her stay with Armin seemed to help Morgan find her place in things and since returning to Newt's party, she's decided she wants to be his apprentice just like Queenie. Said Audino has been overjoyed with this fact and has been happily teaching Morgan all she knows! It's only a matter of time before Morgan is a proper little nurse/caretaker like Queenie is and Newt finds it very endearing.
In March of the new year of Newt's stay, Morgan made a decision that surprised everyone given how long she had gone without doing it: she evolved. And it wasn't just into a Floette. She went all the way to Florges. It became clear after she evolved just why she had made the decision--Morgan had found herself a companion in Beaumon the Roselia who was quick to follow her in evolving into his final state as well. Now a Florges, Morgan has a rather ethereal grace about her, tending to the gardens around Newt's cottage with her beau at her side.
Wearing: Markings: Spots on the inside of it's head vines are pale pink and sky blue Holding:
Met in Azalea Town (level 20) | November 27th, 2017 There were many Pokemon that wandered into Newt's suitcase during the events of the Fourth Wall Weekend but only one stayed--a little Budew with a strong will and an impish streak that's endless. Beaumont is a grass Pokemon that doesn't seem to be scared of anything, not even fire, ready to face anything the world has to throw at him as long as he can cause a little mischief in the process. He seems innocent when you first get to know him but Beaumont definitely knows how to make words flow like silk and can charm the pants off anyone if given the opportunity.
Despite his nature Beaumont does seem to genuinely like Newt, curious about the man because of how in-tune he is with so many different creatures. This little Budew has taken his place among the residents of Newt's party though he's content to live without a Pokeball for now. There are still plenty of adventures he may decide to go on, after all!
Even a thirst for adventure can be quelled given time and something much more satisfying: love. The more time Beaumont spent with Newt's group the more he found himself drawn to Morgan the Flabebe and over time the pair seemed to find a mutual attraction. In March of the new year, the pair made the decision to evolve together and they made their final evolutions to Roserade and Florges. Beaumont is quite proud of his new form and devotes his time to looking after his love, dutifully following her and aiding her in caring for the gardens around Newt's cottage--though he still enjoys getting into a spot of trouble with Fay here and there!
Wearing: Markings: Paler in color than normal - almost a pinkish purple; has small almost wing like appendages on it's back (similar to a Clefable but much smaller; blink and you miss them) Holding: Spell Tag
Met in Sprout Tower (level 14) | July 26th, 2017 It was actually due to being surprised by this little ghost that battle was even initiated, Newt having been exploring the tower when the Gastly popped out of nowhere. His Noibat companion immediately engaged and, fearful that they'd both end up hurt, Newt ended up catching the Gastly. He doesn't seem to mind, especially since Newt was quick to let him back out and ease the tension between the Ghost and the bat. Nicholas is a lonely little creature that just seems to want to make some friends. How could Newt turn him away?
Nicholas seems to be curious about absolutely everything, usually hanging about whenever Newt is reading to Queenie and Morgan or lingering over Newt's shoulder whenever he uses his 'gear. There's nothing that he doesn't find interesting which has led to a bit of trouble, like when he disturbed some sleeping Beedrills and upset a Kangaskhan and her young. Despite this, Nicholas is a great companion and does his best to make Newt proud.
During the nightmares prompted by some wild Pokemon, Nicholas evolved in an effort to better protect Newt from being tagged by any of the Phantumps wandering around. He traveled through dreams with his trainer, helping where he could to ease the pain others were feeling from their own nightmares and proved himself to be a very strong and very passionate creature.
Nicholas's final evolution came after the turn of the new year. He'd been pondering it for quite some time, hesitant to take the next step because of the negative reputation that Gengars had, but with encouragement from Newt and the others he finally decided it was time. Oddly enough, as a Gengar, Nicholas almost resembles a Clefable more than the aforementioned Pokemon and he's honestly perfectly okay with that! He wants to prove that ghosts can be good friends and helpers just like any other Pokemon type and works hard to make friends with anyone that happens by Newt's cottage.
Wearing: Markings: Left front paw has white toes Holding:
Received on Route 6 (egg) | September 22nd, 2017 Hatched on September 29th, 2017 Rather submissive, Mopsus follows Newt around obediently, even when the wizard doesn't ask him to, and allows the other Pokemon in the traveling party to sort of lead the way for him. It could be that he's just young and is looking for someone to guide him but it's very likely that he's just a very submissive Pokemon by nature which is perfectly fine. He's also an extremely finicky little thing that won't sleep unless he's curled up on Newt's coat nor will he eat unless he's settled between Albus and Queenie.
Time has done Mopsus well as far as settling in goes and he seems to have found a place in the group--at Roxy's side. The Lycanroc is quite fond of the Absol and the feeling seems to be mutual. Mopsus in particular seems to be attempting to properly court Roxy, showering her with gifts and the like.
Wearing: Markings: White toes on all her paws, doesn't extend up her legs Holding:
Received from Ashley Fox (level 58) | April 2nd, 2018 Cú had the honour of being tripped over as Ash blundered around Dark Cave and thus, being captured shortly after Ash got onto his feet. Despite neither of them knowing what the other even looked like until they got out of the cave a day later, the two quickly bonded with their matching, boisterious personalities and curious natures. Cú always looked forward to whatever came next, taking life in her stride.
After her 'rebellious phase' as a Rockruff, Cú briefly vanished...only to return as a Lycanroc. After evolving she became more certain of her power and, with Ash's new drive to train, the pair have become inseparable again. Despite becoming a 'Midday' Lycanroc, she favours the moon and shows some behaviour often linked to Midnight Lycanrocs, namely her eagerness to battle any foe stronger than herself.
Alas, Cú took an arrow to the knee by the name of Roxy, Newt's Lycanroc. Knowing that Ash was in capable hands and wanting to help guard over Newt's sanctuary with her love, she was transferred over to him and lives happily with Roxy and the many pups and Pokemon at his cottage.
Wearing: Markings: Dorsal and ventral fins are almost completely the same color as his body with thick bands of darker pink at the base of each. Holding:
Received from Armin (level 20) | December 12th, 2017 A Christmas gift from Armin, so to speak, Glover is a very kind creature that comes off as very stand-offish at first because of how quiet he is but oh does he love being around others. True to the nature of Alomomolas, Glover will do whatever he can to help heal injured Pokemon and has happily joined Newt's ranks to help care for any individuals that may happen upon the cottage.
He's taken up residence in the pond outside of Newt's cottage with the Lapras sisters and seems to have decided that the girls are his proteges and wards now that he's living here. (And the sisters don't seem to mind one bit.)
Wearing: Markings: Her eye gems resemble Opals Holding:
Met on Mt. Moon (level 20) | October 11th, 2017 This little imp decided that the contents of Newt's pockets and his bag were hers, trying to make off with them while Newt was tending to his Pokemon companions. She was caught by Roxy and taken back to the wizard, who after a gentle scolding couldn't help but invite the little Sableye to join the party. (The end result being this little girl deciding she wanted a Pokeball of her own.)
She just reminded him far too much of his Niffler for him to resist.
Wearing: Markings: Red front paws like gloves Holding:
Found in PC (level 49) | April 10th, 2018 "When Tina met Credence she felt immediate pity for her trainer. Such a fearful young man left in a strange world? Of course she wanted to help him. She has taken the lead in regards to Credence, determined to convince him to move forward and fully embrace the Pokemon world.
She's a bit of a scrapper herself, willing to defend Credence from anything that frightens him and considering that everything frightens him she has a lot of work to do. She's determined and patient, willing to take as long as Credence needs while still pushing him to try doing things he never has before. She's just a motherly little fox and wants her trainer to find his peace."
Wearing: Markings: Smaller than normal; one of the horns on the skull it wears is shorter than the other; has faint spotting around the 'line' of her belly Holding:
Met in the Safari Zone (level 27) | February 14th, 2018 While visiting the Safari Zone with Pamela, Newt happened upon this poor little Cubone by complete accident. She seemed to have gotten herself stuck between two rocks and was having trouble getting herself out even with bone club as a wedge, the stress of the situation driving the poor dear to tears. After some gentle words Newt was able to approach and help her get free, offering her a few berries and examining her foot to make sure she was alright. The tears continued and it was clear the poor thing was all alone, like most Cubones seemed to be, and Newt couldn't help but be reminded of a certain young man he'd taken under his wing the more time he spent with the little thing. Eventually he began to tell her stories to try and calm her down, stories about his friends and, in particular, about Credence and what the young man had been through. Eventually the Cubone's tears had stopped and she seemed to be deep in thought only to hesitantly inquire in her own way about meeting this person that sounded a lot like her.
Thus Newt ended up catching Grace and tucking her safely away, taking her back home to Azalea where he introduced her to Credence.
Wearing: Markings: Eyes are pale blue because he's blind Holding:
Met on Seafoam Islands (level 50) | August 19th, 2017 An old man of a dragon that Newt crossed paths with while searching for Lugia in the caves on the Seafoam Islands, this Drampa seemed rather amused by the group and stuck with them for most of the journey. He was with Newt when the young man encountered Lugia and spoke to him, exasperated with the entire situation since everyone was getting upset with one another.
Once things were said and done and it was time for Newt to leave, Albus--as Newt had come to call him--decided to go with the wizard, pleased with the small family he had found.
After Newt purchased his cottage Albus seemed rather keen on the idea of staying in Azalea to play guardian of the house--and of the young Pokemon that were residents of the cottage for the time being. He takes his role as protector-grandfather very seriously and can usually be found out in the yard allowing all the young ones to clamber all over him.
Wearing: Markings: Has dyed her tail with a black heart using berries; has a necklace made of shells Holding:
Met on Route 19 (level 30) | September 2nd, 2017 Newt met Malie during the beach party he attended with Armin and his friends. While most of the other party goers socialized with one another, Newt spent quite a bit of time getting to know the surfing Pikachus--Malie in particular. When it came time for him to move on, the quirky little female asked if she could tag along, using the writing skills Newt had taught her to express said interest. Newt was happy to bring her along and she seems to be enjoying herself as well. (The plan is for her to travel with them until they meet up with the surfing 'Chus once more.)
With the addition of Hufflepuff to Newt's traveling party, Malie has been rather smitten, constantly chatting with the Ditto and happily carrying him about on her head when they're on the move. More often than not Hufflepuff takes the form of a Pikachu so he can run about with her and their relationship seems to be growing with each passing day. So much so that they graced Newt with ten eggs their first go around.
While it's never been discussed Malie has happily stayed by Newt's side through his travels and settled with him and the other Pokemon at his cottage in Azalea. She still is very much a free spirit and from time to time she disappears on some short adventure but inevitably she returns with small presents for Newt and Hufflepuff to settle in once more with the rest of the family.
It was during Newt's time away with Pamela that Malie disappeared for a longer time than normal, heading back to the Kanto region to visit her fellow Surfing Pikachus. She didn't reappear until well after the pair returned home and, when she finally did, she had quite the surprise for her family! With the help of a Thunder Stone, Malie had evolved on the island taking the rare Alolan Raichu form in doing so.
Wearing: Markings: Has a silver wingtips; has a black band at the base of her beak Holding:
Received from Merlin and Helena (egg) | Hatched on March 22nd, 2018 Like her father before her, Guinevere is a bold little bird that doesn't seem to have a fear in the world even though she's rather new to the world itself. Hatched thanks to the diligent efforts of Felsic the Slugma, Guinevere immediately took a look at her new surroundings then promptly flew up to perch on Newt's shoulder where she seems to like to stay unless she has to get down. She seems content to stay with Newt at all times, traveling all over the cottage grounds with him to take care of the other Pokemon, learning who they all are and committing their quirks to memory.
Needless to say the nursery is not for this little Starly and she already has a Pokeball of her own, thank you very much.
Her persistence and strong will are very much reflections of her parents and while Newt does miss them dearly, he's delighted to have Guinevere with him now and she's easily found her place among his close companions.

His Dex had informed him that Orangurus were a rare sight on the mountain and he hadn't expected to end up hosting one in his camp but Cornelius had apparently had other plans for the wizard. He'd ended up settling near the fire during one of Newt's story-telling sessions and lingered around, obviously quite curious about the traveling party.
Newt decided to chat with him and it turned into the two communicating through makeshift sign language that they developed and written words--as Newt realized quite quickly how intelligent the Oranguru was and taught him basic words. Before he knew it, it was morning and Newt found himself completely charmed by Cornelius--and the same could be said about Cornelius towards Newt. He decided to stay with the party and seems rather keen on learning everything that Newt is willing to teach, following the young man around so he can watch every little thing he does and attempt to mimic it.

Newt honestly has no idea how many Joltiks are actually in his suitcase at this point; he hasn't bothered to count and really doesn't mind the little colony that's developed.

Received from Roxy and Mopsus (egg) | March 31st, 2018
Hatched April 4th, 2018
One of Mopsus and Roxy's Easter puppies, Newt decided to keep one of the eggs for himself, wanting to raise another Rockruff and see what evolution he would get this time. Scout is a very easy going little puppy, very much the type to roll over and let others rough house on top of him rather than being involved in the roughhousing. He loves to sprawl out in the sun and let his tongue loll out, very much the type of canine to enjoy long cat naps if you allow him. He's a very good listener though, like his mother and father both, and has taken well to learning various commands and even some specialty tricks, very keen on learning to do things around the cottage like the Audino kids do!
Scout quickly found his best friends in Ano, Molly and Nundu and the four of them are usually romping about together exploring or just dozing in a giant pile together.

Met in Cherrygrove (level 4) | July 4th, 2017
Unbeknownst to Newt, this adorable little girl and her companion Fay were so curious about Newt that they decided to hitch a ride in his coat pockets when he finally left town. Morgan is the gentle one of the pair and loves to munch on snacks while huddled under the collar of Newt's jacket or back in his pocket. She gets along with every Pokemon that she meets, even if they're a bit wary of her, and loves to share snacks when she can.
After a call from Armin concerning one of his rescued Pokemon, Morgan made the decision to allow herself to be "caught" officially in order to pay Armin and his team a visit.
Her stay with Armin seemed to help Morgan find her place in things and since returning to Newt's party, she's decided she wants to be his apprentice just like Queenie. Said Audino has been overjoyed with this fact and has been happily teaching Morgan all she knows! It's only a matter of time before Morgan is a proper little nurse/caretaker like Queenie is and Newt finds it very endearing.
In March of the new year of Newt's stay, Morgan made a decision that surprised everyone given how long she had gone without doing it: she evolved. And it wasn't just into a Floette. She went all the way to Florges. It became clear after she evolved just why she had made the decision--Morgan had found herself a companion in Beaumon the Roselia who was quick to follow her in evolving into his final state as well. Now a Florges, Morgan has a rather ethereal grace about her, tending to the gardens around Newt's cottage with her beau at her side.
☆ Beaumont the Roserade

Met in Azalea Town (level 20) | November 27th, 2017
There were many Pokemon that wandered into Newt's suitcase during the events of the Fourth Wall Weekend but only one stayed--a little Budew with a strong will and an impish streak that's endless. Beaumont is a grass Pokemon that doesn't seem to be scared of anything, not even fire, ready to face anything the world has to throw at him as long as he can cause a little mischief in the process. He seems innocent when you first get to know him but Beaumont definitely knows how to make words flow like silk and can charm the pants off anyone if given the opportunity.
Despite his nature Beaumont does seem to genuinely like Newt, curious about the man because of how in-tune he is with so many different creatures. This little Budew has taken his place among the residents of Newt's party though he's content to live without a Pokeball for now. There are still plenty of adventures he may decide to go on, after all!
Even a thirst for adventure can be quelled given time and something much more satisfying: love. The more time Beaumont spent with Newt's group the more he found himself drawn to Morgan the Flabebe and over time the pair seemed to find a mutual attraction. In March of the new year, the pair made the decision to evolve together and they made their final evolutions to Roserade and Florges. Beaumont is quite proud of his new form and devotes his time to looking after his love, dutifully following her and aiding her in caring for the gardens around Newt's cottage--though he still enjoys getting into a spot of trouble with Fay here and there!
☆ Nicholas the Gengar
Gengar ♂ | Nicholas
OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 65
Type:
Egg group: Amorphous
Ability: Levitate
Nature & Characteristic: Lonely ; highly curious
Moveset: Hypnosis, Lick, Spite, Mean Look, Curse, Night Shade, Confuse Ray, Sucker Punch, Payback, Shadow Ball, Dream Eater, Dark Pulse, Destiny Bond, Hex, Nightmare, Shadow Punch, Thunderbolt*
Wearing:
Markings: Paler in color than normal - almost a pinkish purple; has small almost wing like appendages on it's back (similar to a Clefable but much smaller; blink and you miss them)
Holding: Spell Tag
Met in Sprout Tower (level 14) | July 26th, 2017
It was actually due to being surprised by this little ghost that battle was even initiated, Newt having been exploring the tower when the Gastly popped out of nowhere. His Noibat companion immediately engaged and, fearful that they'd both end up hurt, Newt ended up catching the Gastly. He doesn't seem to mind, especially since Newt was quick to let him back out and ease the tension between the Ghost and the bat. Nicholas is a lonely little creature that just seems to want to make some friends. How could Newt turn him away?
Nicholas seems to be curious about absolutely everything, usually hanging about whenever Newt is reading to Queenie and Morgan or lingering over Newt's shoulder whenever he uses his 'gear. There's nothing that he doesn't find interesting which has led to a bit of trouble, like when he disturbed some sleeping Beedrills and upset a Kangaskhan and her young. Despite this, Nicholas is a great companion and does his best to make Newt proud.
During the nightmares prompted by some wild Pokemon, Nicholas evolved in an effort to better protect Newt from being tagged by any of the Phantumps wandering around. He traveled through dreams with his trainer, helping where he could to ease the pain others were feeling from their own nightmares and proved himself to be a very strong and very passionate creature.
Nicholas's final evolution came after the turn of the new year. He'd been pondering it for quite some time, hesitant to take the next step because of the negative reputation that Gengars had, but with encouragement from Newt and the others he finally decided it was time. Oddly enough, as a Gengar, Nicholas almost resembles a Clefable more than the aforementioned Pokemon and he's honestly perfectly okay with that! He wants to prove that ghosts can be good friends and helpers just like any other Pokemon type and works hard to make friends with anyone that happens by Newt's cottage.
☆ Mopsus the Absol
Absol ♂ | Mopsus
OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 42

Received on Route 6 (egg) | September 22nd, 2017
Hatched on September 29th, 2017
Rather submissive, Mopsus follows Newt around obediently, even when the wizard doesn't ask him to, and allows the other Pokemon in the traveling party to sort of lead the way for him. It could be that he's just young and is looking for someone to guide him but it's very likely that he's just a very submissive Pokemon by nature which is perfectly fine. He's also an extremely finicky little thing that won't sleep unless he's curled up on Newt's coat nor will he eat unless he's settled between Albus and Queenie.
Time has done Mopsus well as far as settling in goes and he seems to have found a place in the group--at Roxy's side. The Lycanroc is quite fond of the Absol and the feeling seems to be mutual. Mopsus in particular seems to be attempting to properly court Roxy, showering her with gifts and the like.
☆ Cú the Lycanroc
Lycanroc ♀ | Cú
OT: Ashley Fox
Level: 58
Type:
Egg group: Field
Ability: Sand Rush
Nature & Characteristic: Impish; proud of its power
Moveset: Tackle, Leer, Sand Attack, Bite, Howl, Rock Throw, Odor Sleuth, Rock Tomb, Roar, Stealth Rock, Rock Slide, Scary Face, Crunch, Accelerock

Received from Ashley Fox (level 58) | April 2nd, 2018
Cú had the honour of being tripped over as Ash blundered around Dark Cave and thus, being captured shortly after Ash got onto his feet. Despite neither of them knowing what the other even looked like until they got out of the cave a day later, the two quickly bonded with their matching, boisterious personalities and curious natures. Cú always looked forward to whatever came next, taking life in her stride.
After her 'rebellious phase' as a Rockruff, Cú briefly vanished...only to return as a Lycanroc. After evolving she became more certain of her power and, with Ash's new drive to train, the pair have become inseparable again. Despite becoming a 'Midday' Lycanroc, she favours the moon and shows some behaviour often linked to Midnight Lycanrocs, namely her eagerness to battle any foe stronger than herself.
Alas, Cú took an arrow to the knee by the name of Roxy, Newt's Lycanroc. Knowing that Ash was in capable hands and wanting to help guard over Newt's sanctuary with her love, she was transferred over to him and lives happily with Roxy and the many pups and Pokemon at his cottage.
☆ Glover the Alomomola
Alomomola ♂ | Glover
OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 25

Wearing:

Holding:
Received from Armin (level 20) | December 12th, 2017
A Christmas gift from Armin, so to speak, Glover is a very kind creature that comes off as very stand-offish at first because of how quiet he is but oh does he love being around others. True to the nature of Alomomolas, Glover will do whatever he can to help heal injured Pokemon and has happily joined Newt's ranks to help care for any individuals that may happen upon the cottage.
He's taken up residence in the pond outside of Newt's cottage with the Lapras sisters and seems to have decided that the girls are his proteges and wards now that he's living here. (And the sisters don't seem to mind one bit.)
☆ Niffler the Sableye
Sableye ♀ | Niffler
OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 50

Wearing:
Markings: Her eye gems resemble Opals
Holding:
Met on Mt. Moon (level 20) | October 11th, 2017
This little imp decided that the contents of Newt's pockets and his bag were hers, trying to make off with them while Newt was tending to his Pokemon companions. She was caught by Roxy and taken back to the wizard, who after a gentle scolding couldn't help but invite the little Sableye to join the party. (The end result being this little girl deciding she wanted a Pokeball of her own.)
She just reminded him far too much of his Niffler for him to resist.
☆ Tina the Braixen

Found in PC (level 49) | April 10th, 2018
"When Tina met Credence she felt immediate pity for her trainer. Such a fearful young man left in a strange world? Of course she wanted to help him. She has taken the lead in regards to Credence, determined to convince him to move forward and fully embrace the Pokemon world.
She's a bit of a scrapper herself, willing to defend Credence from anything that frightens him and considering that everything frightens him she has a lot of work to do. She's determined and patient, willing to take as long as Credence needs while still pushing him to try doing things he never has before. She's just a motherly little fox and wants her trainer to find his peace."
☆ Grace the Cubone
Cubone ♀ | Grace
OT: Newt Scamander

Met in the Safari Zone (level 27) | February 14th, 2018
While visiting the Safari Zone with Pamela, Newt happened upon this poor little Cubone by complete accident. She seemed to have gotten herself stuck between two rocks and was having trouble getting herself out even with bone club as a wedge, the stress of the situation driving the poor dear to tears. After some gentle words Newt was able to approach and help her get free, offering her a few berries and examining her foot to make sure she was alright. The tears continued and it was clear the poor thing was all alone, like most Cubones seemed to be, and Newt couldn't help but be reminded of a certain young man he'd taken under his wing the more time he spent with the little thing. Eventually he began to tell her stories to try and calm her down, stories about his friends and, in particular, about Credence and what the young man had been through. Eventually the Cubone's tears had stopped and she seemed to be deep in thought only to hesitantly inquire in her own way about meeting this person that sounded a lot like her.
Thus Newt ended up catching Grace and tucking her safely away, taking her back home to Azalea where he introduced her to Credence.
☆ Albus the Drampa
Drampa ♂ | Albus

Wearing:
Markings: Eyes are pale blue because he's blind
Holding:
Met on Seafoam Islands (level 50) | August 19th, 2017
An old man of a dragon that Newt crossed paths with while searching for Lugia in the caves on the Seafoam Islands, this Drampa seemed rather amused by the group and stuck with them for most of the journey. He was with Newt when the young man encountered Lugia and spoke to him, exasperated with the entire situation since everyone was getting upset with one another.
Once things were said and done and it was time for Newt to leave, Albus--as Newt had come to call him--decided to go with the wizard, pleased with the small family he had found.
After Newt purchased his cottage Albus seemed rather keen on the idea of staying in Azalea to play guardian of the house--and of the young Pokemon that were residents of the cottage for the time being. He takes his role as protector-grandfather very seriously and can usually be found out in the yard allowing all the young ones to clamber all over him.
☆ Malie the Alolan Raichu
Raichu ♀ | Malie
OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 76
Type:
Egg group: Field/Fairy

Wearing:
Markings: Has dyed her tail with a black heart using berries; has a necklace made of shells
Holding:
Met on Route 19 (level 30) | September 2nd, 2017
Newt met Malie during the beach party he attended with Armin and his friends. While most of the other party goers socialized with one another, Newt spent quite a bit of time getting to know the surfing Pikachus--Malie in particular. When it came time for him to move on, the quirky little female asked if she could tag along, using the writing skills Newt had taught her to express said interest. Newt was happy to bring her along and she seems to be enjoying herself as well. (The plan is for her to travel with them until they meet up with the surfing 'Chus once more.)
With the addition of Hufflepuff to Newt's traveling party, Malie has been rather smitten, constantly chatting with the Ditto and happily carrying him about on her head when they're on the move. More often than not Hufflepuff takes the form of a Pikachu so he can run about with her and their relationship seems to be growing with each passing day. So much so that they graced Newt with ten eggs their first go around.
While it's never been discussed Malie has happily stayed by Newt's side through his travels and settled with him and the other Pokemon at his cottage in Azalea. She still is very much a free spirit and from time to time she disappears on some short adventure but inevitably she returns with small presents for Newt and Hufflepuff to settle in once more with the rest of the family.
It was during Newt's time away with Pamela that Malie disappeared for a longer time than normal, heading back to the Kanto region to visit her fellow Surfing Pikachus. She didn't reappear until well after the pair returned home and, when she finally did, she had quite the surprise for her family! With the help of a Thunder Stone, Malie had evolved on the island taking the rare Alolan Raichu form in doing so.
☆ Guinevere the Starly

OT: Newt Scamander
Level: 9

Received from Merlin and Helena (egg) | Hatched on March 22nd, 2018
Like her father before her, Guinevere is a bold little bird that doesn't seem to have a fear in the world even though she's rather new to the world itself. Hatched thanks to the diligent efforts of Felsic the Slugma, Guinevere immediately took a look at her new surroundings then promptly flew up to perch on Newt's shoulder where she seems to like to stay unless she has to get down. She seems content to stay with Newt at all times, traveling all over the cottage grounds with him to take care of the other Pokemon, learning who they all are and committing their quirks to memory.
Needless to say the nursery is not for this little Starly and she already has a Pokeball of her own,
thank you very much.
Her persistence and strong will are very much reflections of her parents and while Newt does miss them dearly, he's delighted to have Guinevere with him now and she's easily found her place among his close companions.
