| Houndour ♂ "Ari" | Level 55
Flash Fire (Immunity to/Power up when hit by Fire moves) | Rash Nature (+Sp.Atk -Sp.Def)
"Thoroughly cunning."
Met at Lv. 5 (Starter), evolved at lv. 24 (Violet City)
Bit of an angry thing. He takes after his namesake--protective of Ziva, but snappish at most everyone else, with a predisposition for being a magnificent bastard. Ziva spent her first week in Johto training him to listen to her perfectly, and since evolving he's calmed down quite a lot. He doesn't like Abby's Poochyena, Jethro.
He's named for Ziva's half-brother, Ari. The name Ari means "lion".

| Hoothoot ♀ "Laila" | Level 54
Keen Eye (Prevents loss of accuracy) | Timid nature (+Spd -Atk)
"Highly curious."
Met at Lv. 4 (Route 29), evolved at level 30 (Violet City)
Sweet and insecure, Laila takes some time to get used to new people--but once she does, she loves being around them. She tended to try and hide in Ziva's hair when she was a Hoothoot, but since evolving is far too large to do so, and now settles for preening it instead. Despite being shy, in battle she's a bit of a raging banshee.
Her name means "night" in Hebrew.

| Haunter ♂ "Rasha" | Level 48
Levitate (Not hit by Ground attacks) | Quirky nature (No effect)
"Mischevious."
Met at Lv. 8 (Route 31), evolved at level 28 (Violet City)
Competitive, playful, and honestly tries his trainer's patience. A lot. This hasn't changed since he became a Haunter, in fact it's only gotten worse--he has hands now. He likes playing tricks on Ziva and her friends, and he would play tricks on Ari, but...well, he has a 2x weakness to Dark. He's taken a liking to Laila, though, and the two of them are around each other all the time.
His name means "wicked" or, more specifically, "to depart from the path and become lost" in Hebrew.

| Eevee ♀ "Tali" | Level 10
Adaptability (Powers up moves of the same type) | Calm nature (+Sp.Def, -Atk)
"Highly curious."
Hatched at Violet City, 9/14 (Egg from Tohru.)
Little Tali isn't much of a fighter, being newly hatched, but she's already wrapped Ziva and Ari both around her little paw--fitting for a Pokemon named for a beloved little sister. She's curious and loving, willing to cuddle up with pretty much anyone. She's a bit undersized, even for an already small species of Pokemon,
which just makes it easier for her to toddle around and investigate small spaces.
She's named for Ziva's sister, Talia. Her name means "dew".

Arcanine ♀ "Vicky" | Level 79
Intimidate (Lowers opponent's attack) | Serious nature (No stat effect)
"Strong willed."
Inherited from Gus.
A classy lady, and not inclined to take any of her new teammates' crap. She's serious, proud, and a bit stubborn, but is definitely caring. She's taken it upon herself to mother Tali, and smack Ari around when he's being an ass.
