Brock Arc - Nameless Fire Red Nuzlocke

~Start~

Kitsu - Fennekin (ENTJ):
The so-called leader of the group. He's the one that leads the charge and keeps his allies in line. Among all of them, he's the one that trains the hardest and considers himself to be the strongest in the group. Respects those competent and finds the incompetent annoying. He'd still push them to their limits if he has hope on their potential.

Ran - Nidoran-F (INFP):
The sweet summer child. She's hella optimistic, also has a tendency to daydream which ends with her wandering away from the group. Normally, she'd just follow her trainer like a puppy. Surprisingly, she isn't as oblivious as she makes herself out to be. She's well aware of her ditzy personality and is mad at herself whenever it happens.

Muku - Starly (ESTP):
Known as an annoying bird and he's 100% proud of it. He likes playing a prank on others just to see their reactions. Even with this jokester persona, he does genuinely care for the team, and being a flying type, it makes it easier for him to keep track of everyone's whereabouts.

Ena - Poochyena (INTP):
The most laidback member of the party. You'd often find her dozing around somewhere, but when she's awake, you'd often see her assisting Muku on one of his latest schemes.

Kitsu & Ran:
Ran has this tendency to get herself in trouble which often frustrates Kitsu. Why oh why did his trainer have to catch this bumblehead of a Nidoran and then pair him up with her? And since he's his trainer's starter, he's the (self-)appointed leader of the group and would begrudgingly drag the Nidoran out of trouble. Not really that fond of her and would rather hang out with Muku and Ena. Ran is oblivious to this and would then proceed to go to that group. Kitsu doesn't really dislike Ran, she's just annoying when she starts wandering off. He'd be fine with her otherwise. Deep down, he does worry about her. His trainer would be sad if she suddenly dies, y'know.

Ran knows that Kitsu finds her annoying, and she doesn't care. Too bad but she's here to stay whether he likes it or not. Not her fault that the person she likes spending time with, Ena, had to be in that group.

Kitsu & Muku:
They're the first ones his trainer caught, so it's predictable that they'd be buddy-buddy with each other. Kitsu respects Muku, considers him to be the second strongest in the group. Obviously, he's the strongest here, hands down. No one but Muku knows about Kitsu's secret mischievious side. He somehow managed to bring that out of the normally gruff leader. If Kitsu somehow gets caught, you can bet your ass that he's gonna throw Muku under the bus. Even though they're friends, Kitsu will without a doubt use Ember on Muku whenever he pulls a prank on him.

Kitsu & Ena:
He likes her chillness. She's also the only Pokemon in the team that doesn't drive him insane, and he's grateful for that.

Unknowingly to him, she's actually the main cause of his problems, but he doesn't need to know that. She admires his drive, but she also wants him to just chill. Stress is gonna have those wrinkles pop out in no time. Somehow, she does ocassionally manage to convince him to just relax and lay down.

Ran & Muku:
Muku looks after her in his own way. He's usually the one that directs the group or Kitsu to her location whenever she starts wandering while Ena is asleep. He does find it amusing whenever Kitsu panics over the missing Ran, not that the fox would ever admit to that.

Ran finds Muku's pranks annoying, especially if it involves her. She sees him as an annoying bird but also funny if he isn't being mean.

Ran & Ena:
Ena finds Ran cute. She'd tail her around in case she ends up accidentally heading into danger.

Ran sees Ena as some sort of sister-figure. She likes her chillness too. Kitsu is scary and Muku is just Muku. She also likes how Ena is just always there to help her.

Muku & Ena:
Muku likes pulling tricks on everyone, usually involving something disappearing, and Ena is his partner in crime. If they're not not up to no good, Muku would be perched on Ena as she naps. He's her lookout in case something happens.

Ena is also the one that keeps Muku in check, often the one to calm him down. Kitsu shivers at the thought of a more feral Muku if Ena wasn't around. Funnily enough, she's sometimes the mastermind to some of Muku's schemes, giving off a few suggestions here and there when she's bored.

~Pre-Brock~

Kitsu - Braixen (ENTJ):
Has evolved, along with his ego. He's also salty that he won't even be able to participate in the gym fight just because he had a type disadvantage. Bullshit! Those rocks are nothing to his flames, but he complies. It did surprise him that the main plan of attack hinged on Ran. He had his worries, but seeing how determined she was, it put some peace in his mind.

Ran - Nidorina (INFP):
Excited and kinda scared that she's the main centerpiece to defeating the Rock gym leader, but she felt happy to be relied on. After evolving, she surprisingly didn't daydream as much. She wasn't sure if it was that or it was because she was more focused on improving. Whatever it was, at least she was improving and that's what matters!

Muku - Staravia (ESTP):
Like Kitsu, his evolution inflated his ego even further, even more that he was the first one to evolve. He wouldn't shut up about it until Kitsu threatened to turn him into his dinner, like usual. The tuff of hair on his head did make him feel silly, but if anyone says that to him, then they're just uncultured for not knowing the latest fashion trends, hmph!

Ena - Poochyena (INTP):
She honestly felt lonely when she started seeing the other members of the party evolving after one another while she was here, stuck on her initial stage. Ena does feel happy for her friends, but it still saddened her. She'd even consider herself as the weakest member in the group, even her trainer had seemed to lose some hope on her since she's always the last one trained. No, no, not now, inferiority complex, go away. Ah well, just gotta nap it away and wait.

Kitsu & Ran:
There were times when he'd catch her training in the middle of the night and would  help her. Seeing her this focused and determined made him start reconsidering his prior opinions of her. Even moreso that her days of wandering off have seemed to be a thing of the past after her evolution.

Ran's opinion on the fox has also shifted a bit. She admits that he is a good leader and is thankful whenever he drags her back to the group. A certain tidbit of info from her bird friend did improve her opinion on him. He wasn't that bad.

Kitsu & Muku:
Immediately after Muku evolved, obviously the first thing he did was to taunt Kitsu for not evolving yet. He ate his words when a flying, flaming stick almost hit him while he was laughing. Muku immediately shut his mouth when he felt the murderous aura from the fox.

Kitsu felt annoyed that the bird got his evolution first. He was about to shelf that annoyance until that fucker started to gloat infront of him. Can you blame him for lighting up his stick and throwing it at the cackling fool after he evolved? Of course not. One thing that surprised him just as they were about to challenge the gym was Muku reminding him to take care of Ena and Ran. He didn't know where it came from, but he just shrugged it off as Muku being Muku.

Kitsu & Ena:
Kitsu honestly felt bad for the wolf. At least he was able to throw a comeback at Muku for the taunts he made, but Ena can't. Albeit, it did surprise him that Muku had actually read the mood and didn't do anything to her. It sucks that her evolution spike was much later than theirs, he gets the feeling to an extent. He did ended up awkwardly patting her head as an attempt to cheer her up while no one was looking.

Ran & Muku:
Muku couldn't help himself but spill to Ran about Kitsu's worrying while the other two were training. Also because he did want Ran to see that Kitsu isn't that big of an asshole. His homie may be constantly threatening to roast him for dinner, but he isn't that bad uwu

Ran did managed to see Muku in a new light after their talk, doesn't mean that she doesn't find his presence around Ena any less annoying. Go away, you bird!

Ran & Ena:
If Ran wasn't training, she was with Ena the whole time. She figured that some company would shoo the loneliness away.

Muku & Ena:
Nothing much changed other than Muku being slightly bigger than Ena. He'd still perch on her whenever she was asleep, still her lookout even after evolution. Though, he hasn't really done it that often because of Ran being constantly stuck to the hip with Ena. Wherever Ena was, Ran was there too.

~Post-Brock~

Kitsu - Braixen (ENTJ):
He couldn't believe it. Muku and Ran were dead. He couldn't even hold his facade as it crumbled. Kitsu was mad at himself for being umable to do anything. He was useless the entire time. It felt like he was partly to blame for this. He cursed at this type disadvantage of his. It's bullshit! He's the strongest in the team but he wasn't even allowed to fight?

Did his trainer know? She had a grim look on her face as she sent those two pokeballs into the graveyard. He realized that this was what Muku meant. It was all part of the plan and he hated how he didn't know. As leader, he should have protected them better. He's going to confront his trainer after he has calmed down.

Ena Poochyena - (INTP):
She didn't know what came over her after Ran went down. She just kept on biting on the little dino as her trainer healed her in-between. She didn't want to lose her last remaining friend or to make them sad. It was a miracle that the Tyrunt went down.

Her trainer patted her head as both a form or praise and comfort. Ena doesn't want to believe that Ran and Muku were gone. She could only deduce that they knew, especially Muku. He knew that he was a goner from the get-go. She was mad at him for not even telling her about it, mad at Ran for taking up everything. It was just her and Kitsu. It felt lonely. She misses the both of them so badly.

Kitsu & Ena:
They lost two of their comrades. It was silent between them. Muku would have normally made the atmosphere lively with his jokes, but it's not like he could do that now. Ran had started to become a bit more talkative after she had evolved which also contributed to the lively atmosphere they had.

Kitsu patted Ena's head again. He was unsure whether it was to comfort her or it was to comfort himself that at least someone survived. The only thing he could utter was a simple "you did well" as they comfortably sat in silence.
