She hissed and chomped at the PokeCenter techs who attempted to heal her, dragged mangled pidove carcasses into the house via cat door, and peed with wild abandon on 200-year-old antique furniture. Grimsley, an optimistic first grader at the time, saw her as a fuzzy, loveable creature that just happened to be good at evading his sticky kid-hands rather than a nasty-tempered wild animal. As such, he fervently protested when his parents threatened to let her loose in a field somewhere. It was after Grimsley’s father left that Nancy began warming up to the remaining family members, perhaps sensing their pathos, or possibly because she felt solidarity with them knowing they were now eating out of cans, too. Nowadays she doesn’t stink as bad and seems acclimated to existence alongside human beings. Grimsley enjoys teaching her endearing pet tricks, such as playing dead, balancing treats on her nose, and walking around on her hind legs like a person for extended durations. Actually, that last one is kind of scary.

SANDRA

NAME: Sandra
SPECIES: Krookodile
GENDER: Female
EGG GROUP: Field Group
MOVES:

• Crunch
  
• Dragon Claw
  
• Foul Play
  
• Earthquake
  

THE POKEMON:

Her registered pedigree name is something vowel-heavy and Hungarian, but she’s happy enough answering to “Sandra” or “Sandy.” She once belonged to Magdalenka Popov, Grimsley’s hyper-intelligent physicist mother. When Grimsley went away to college, Maggie sent Sandra to protect him and make sure no one tried to poke him with thumbtacks or scratch him just a little too hard. Thus far, she’s done a pretty good job. Unlike Maggie herself, Sandra enjoys performing domestic, stereotypically “motherly” duties, such as cleaning, cooking, and prompting Grimsley to brush his teeth. She also appreciates the art of hairstyling, so it is her hard work that keeps Grimsley’s impressive coiffure looking as slick and dramatic as it does on a daily basis.

CONRAD

NAME: Conrad
SPECIES: Scrafty
GENDER: Male
EGG GROUP: Field and Dragon Groups
MOVES:

• Sand-Attack
  
• Crunch
  
• Poison Jab
  
• Brick Break
  

THE POKEMON:

Conrad is the very latest addition to the Popov Posse, having joined the ranks as recently as 2006. He lived in a dumpster outside the casino, and regularly showed up to “panhandle” during employee smoke breaks. Somehow, he and Grimsley somehow communicated to each other that they were both down on their luck and that misery loves company. That being said, Grimsley did not technically “catch” Conrad. Rather, Conrad just started living in Grimsley’s dorm, rent-free. Conrad fancies himself a neo-bohemian, delighting in pokemon slam-poetry and dabbling in the freegan lifestyle. He can be hard to get along with sometimes, especially when he gets some wild “activism” hair all up his business. He sometimes holds protests with a small group of ornery scraggies. No one can read their handpainted signs, so their causes (whatever they may be) are often ignored. For awhile, he considered aligning himself with the views and motives of a certain Team Plasma, but realized that would mean no more riding in the passenger seat during late-night Taco Bell runs.

BETHANY

NAME: Bethany
SPECIES: Bisharp
GENDER: Female
EGG GROUP: Human-Like Group
MOVES:

• X-Scissor
  
• Night Slash
  
• Metal Claw
  
• Aerial Ace
  

THE POKEMON:

Bethany is a purebred, pedigreed military pokemon from a long and noble bloodline dating back to the 17th century (allegedly). Though the breeding rights were lost in the Popov bankruptcy, Bethany was stashed away in a pokeball and given as a gift for Grimsley’s tenth birthday. She takes her role as a soldier and guardian very seriously, even If Grimsley rarely faces adversities outside of jammed snack machines and sudden, leaf-laden gusts of wind. Bethany is quite close to Sandra in a way that mimics a human marriage. They seem to navigate the world as a singular unit, constantly bickering and chattering between themselves, and sharing the job of Ersatz Parent in the event of Maggie Popov’s absence. Bethany carries a small maroon backpack with her at all times. It appears quite heavy, but the true nature of its contents is unknown.
