Dark Pokemon
Mightyena
Caught as a Poochyena; found in the Petalburg Woods
Level 63
Male
Nature: Adamant
Characteristic: A Little Quick Tempered
Move Set: Bite, Take Down, Sucker Punch, Poison Fang
Atem came upon a wild pack of Poochyenas quite a long time ago making trouble in the Petalburg Woods. They'd steal shiny items and food from trainers and team up unfairly to beat up other pokemon. After taking down the leader, this Mightyena now, the pack quieted down and became easier to deal with. Mightyena realizes Atem's strength and sees him as a superior trainer and gladly works underneath him- Atem has become his pack master now.
Absol
Found at Mt. Coronet
Level 55
Female
Nature: Serious
Characteristic: Good Perseverance
Move Set: Razor Wind, Slash, Night Slash, Sucker Punch
Atem challenged this Absol once he made his way inside the mountain. The match was intense but eventually she had to bow her head in acceptance of her loss. It ended quickly after that, Atem rushing the injured Absol down the summit and to a pokecenter. He gave her the choice to return back up to the mountains, not wanting to cage such a magnificent creature. In the end she decided to stay with him and his team.
Murkrow
Found at the Lost Cave
Level 45
Male
Nature: Lax
Characteristic: Alert To Sounds
Move Set: Peck, Wing Attack, Faint Attack, Sucker Punch
This Murkrow was very excited to see Atem inside the cave. He tried to steal some very shiny and jingly bracelets from Atem and run off with them. The pokemon trainer was quick to recover the items and challenge the bird to a battle. Instead, Murkrow was very happy to just join Atem's team, not wanting to waste energy to fight.
Sneasel
Found at Icefall Cave
Level 55
Male
Nature: Hasty
Characteristic: Strong Willed
Move Set: Faint Attack, Icy Wind, Metal Claw, Ice Shard
Atem saw this Sneasel get itself trapped underneath some ice. The pokemon been running after a dropped Pidgey egg he had dropped. As it skittered along, the ice cracked beneath him, sending him plummeting to the depths below. Atem ordered his Houndoom to burn the ice, making way for him to dive in and retrieve the drowning pokemon. Once returned to the surface, the trainer used a Full Heal and set a small fire to warm the Sneasel up. He was so grateful afterwards that he joined Atem's team.
Houndoom
Caught as a Houndour; found at Route 7
Level 65
Female
Nature: Quiet
Characteristic: Often Lost In Thought
Move Set: Fire Fang, Flamethrower, Crunch, Inferno
This little Houndour was abandoned as a pup by its pack, deemed to weak too keep around. When Atem was traveling through Route 7 at night, he heard her small and weak cries for help. She had been injured by another roaming pack and left to die. He scooped her up, bringing her to the nearest pokecenter as quick as he could. When she came to, she was so grateful to Atem that she called him her new master and has been by his side ever since.
