Pokemon
LIFE | Slowpoke ♂ | Ability: Own Tempo (Prevents confusion)
Nature: Modest | Often lost in thought
Level: 53
Met At: New Bark Town (Lv. 5)
Notes: Life thinks deep thoughts, moves at a glacial pace, and looks kind of silly by any standard... just like its namesake (according to Osaka, at least). Osaka is completely convinced that Life is a super-genius who is on the verge of discovering the meaning of all life. It's just that it's thinking really, really slowly. SHE HAS FAITH, THOUGH.
EXISTENCE | Drifloon ♂ | Ability: Unburden (Speed up without an item)
Nature: Quirky | Often lost in thought
Level: 50
Met At: Cherrygrove City (Lv. 5; Ghosts Event)
Notes: Existence looks like a fun balloon upon first glance, but it's also really fragile and, if you think too long and hard about it, it's utterly terrifying... just like its namesake (according to Osaka once again). Osaka tends to hold her Drifloon like one would a normal balloon, much to Existence's chagrin. True to its Pokedex description, Existence still tries to carry away children, but it's hard to do when your trainer keeps a tight leash on you.
TIME | Slakoth ♂ | Ability: Truant (Only moves every other turn)
Nature: Serious | Often lost in thought
Level: 45
Met At: Violet City (Egg obtained from Christmas Event)
Notes: Time LOOKS like it's moving slowly, but the moment you take your eyes off it, it'll suddenly be a few feet farther ahead than you thought it was... just like its namesake (according, yes, to Osaka). Since the Slakoth is a forest-dweller, Osaka tends to defer to Time's judgment when it comes to finding her way through a forest. This would be an incredible idea if her Slakoth could actually move at a reasonable rate.
ANTI-GRAVITY | Magikarp ♀ | Ability: Swift Swim (Speed up in rain)
Nature: Quirky | Often lost in thought
Level: 40
Met At: Goldenrod City (Egg obtained via Souji's horrifying Ditto)
Notes: No matter how much you struggle, splash, or resist, in the super long run, you just can't beat gravity... unless you're Osaka's Magikarp, which is (descended from) THE BEST SPLASHER EVER (according to Osaka). Osaka theorizes that one day, the Magikarp will splash so hard that she won't ever come down again. As it is, Anti-Gravity's splashes are already pretty damn impressive for a lowly Magikarp... In any case, the Magikarp is nothing if not phlegmatic, though she's somehow inherited her trainer's enthusiasm for splashing. Sure, she's not powerful, but she'll SPLASH YOUR ASS ALL THE WAY UP TO THE MOON if you so much as challenge her prowess.
SEA SLUG | Shellos | Ability: Storm Drain
Nature: Modest | Mischievous
Level: 32
Met At: Violet City (Egg obtained from Easter Event)
Moves + Yawn
Notes: AAAAAAAAH IT'S A SEA SLUG! Despite the slime, Sea Slug is the Pokemon that Osaka will be carrying most often in her arms because it's the most utterly amazing thing she's ever seen. The Pokedex entry says that it oozes a "mysterious purple fluid" when it's squeezed- truly a mystery that Osaka wants to get to the bottom of someday... In any case, Sea Slug has almost infinite stores of patience, which is a virtue when you're a sea slug being treated like a lapdog.
