Name: Riley
RP/CYOA of origin: Team Nova
Card Character?: Yes ~ Joshua
Weapon: Handgun
Notable Traits, Powers and Abilities: -Riley is a trained manipulator of aura - the life essence within every living creature. By manipulating his own aura, he can view the auras within others, allowing him to locate them over long distances and being able to read their emotional wavelengths and anticipate their physical movements even if he's blinded or seeing them through walls. He can also project his aura to form barriers and attacks such as Force Palm, and Aura Sphere, as well as release built up aura in what spectators called an Aura Burst, which is useful when a psycho Regice is trying to freeze him alive. However, overuse of his aura abilities prove to be detrimental to his physical health.
- Is a trained martial artist.
- Is also in possession of a Cosmic Drive of his own, replaced after he seemingly misplaced his old one. Naturally, it is also Aura-based. Dubbed the Aura Drive by Mira, it boosts the latent aura within Riley's Pokemon, giving them an increase in stats and performance across the board.

Bio: Once a popular regular at Sinnoh's Battle Zone, Riley helped in the evacuation efforts of the area from Nova as much as he could before evacuating himself out, getting separated from his fellow "Stat Trainers" as a result. He eventually joined Team Mewtwo, rose to the rank of Captain, and joined in operations in Nimbasa. He reunited with 3/4 of the other "Stat Trainers" years later, including Cheryl, his old flame. He's recently become the so-called leader of the small group as they've performed operations all by themselves.
Tech level: Advanced present.

Name: Cheryl
RP/CYOA of origin: Team Nova
Card Character?: Yes ~ Joshua
Weapon: N/A
Notable Traits, Powers and Abilities: - Possesses what Mira believes to be a "stupid, boring Prototype" Cosmic Drive. In actuality, her version of the drive allows her Pokemon to shrug off status effects, land more critical hits, dodge attacks more often, and most importantly, become unaffected by Starburst.

Bio: Once a popular regular at Sinnoh's Battle Zone, Cheryl helped in the evacuation efforts of the area from Nova as much as she could before evacuating herself out, getting separated from her fellow "Stat Trainers" as a result. However, her evac airship was shot down by Nova. The details of what she experienced is unknown, but she survived with great trauma and damage to her psyche. At one point she was persuaded to join Team Yveltal and enact vengeance against Nova. She soon learned the error of her ways and, ashamed of what she had become, turned to living a modest life in Eterna City with a few (relatively) peaceful Yveltal followers. She eventually ran into Riley, whom she used to date before Nova took over, in the middle of a mission and was persuaded to join Mewtwo, where she reunited with two fellow Stat Trainers. Currently, the four of them are performing in Mewtwo operations on their own.

Name: Marley
RP/CYOA of origin: Team Nova
Card Character?: Yes ~ Joshua
Weapon: Two sharp daggers. They practically have "don't cross me" written all over them.
Notable Traits, Powers and Abilities: - Marley possesses a Cosmic Drive of her own that functions as part Baton Pass, part Ally Switch. With it, she can instantly switch places with any one of her Pokemon no matter how great the distance apart while also inheriting their status bonuses (such as increased speed). Lately, however, her Cosmic Drive seems to have performed a glitch of sorts, and now she's seemingly stuck with an Agility boost that won't go away... In other words, she essentially has super speed, albeit not an exaggerated amount of it.
- Good with her knives and has methods of using them that onlookers describe as "borderline sadistic".
- Carries a Gracidea Flower that allows Shaymin to switch between Land and Sky formes.
Allies:- Shaymin (initially Land Forme)
Abilities: Natural Cure (Land Forme), Serene Grace (Sky Forme)

- Weavile
Ability: Pickpocket
-- Ice Punch
-- Night Slash
-- Punishment
-- Poison Jab
Bio: Once a popular regular at Sinnoh's Battle Zone, Marley helped in the evacuation efforts of the area from Nova as much as she could before evacuating herself out, getting separated from her fellow "Stat Trainers" as a result, with the exception of Mira, with whom she shared evac ships with. The two of them ended up joining Team Xerneas and encountered a Land Forme Shaymin unable to join his fellow kind on their "Flower Carrying Migration" to an unknown location away from the war raging around them. Becoming disillusioned with Xerneas command due to what she perceived as poor decisions by Neal Ferre, she kept this news private with Mira until Xerneas was assimilated into Mewtwo. There, she and Mira were reunited with Riley and Cheryl, upon which she explained the situation regarding Shaymin and the four of them raided Nova's Flower Paradise base with assistance from a boy named Austin and a man named Eusine. The operation successful, she finally acquired a bundle of beautiful Gracidea Flowers. She gave one to Shaymin, who decided not to undergo the migration and stay with Marley. Ever since, she and her dear friends have performed various Mewtwo operations on their own.

Name: Mira
RP/CYOA of origin: Team Nova
Card Character?: Yes ~ Joshua
Weapon: N/A
Notable Traits, Powers and Abilities: - Like the other Stat Trainers, Mira has her own Cosmic Drive, having been hoarding them ever since a crazy lady burned down most of the warehouse containing them. Hers in particular allows her to "fuse" her Pokemon into her, giving her the full benefits of all of them combined (minus abilities). Since she as a trainer prioritizes Special Attack, this gives her great telekinetic abilities and multiplies her Pokemon's attacks exponentially. Unfortunately, her stamina leaves much to be desired; after just a few minutes of battle she automatically defuses and falls asleep no matter how dire the situation.
- Speaks in third person for unknown reasons.
Allies:- Alakazam
Ability: Magic Guard
Note: Innate teleportation ability.
-- Psybeam
-- Focus Blast
-- Recover
-- Protect
- Yanmega
Ability: Speed Boost
-- Bug Buzz
-- Ancient Power

Ability: Adaptability

-- Psych Up
-- Tri Attack
-- Dark Pulse
- Magnezone
Ability: Magnet Pull
-- Magnet Bomb
-- Charge Beam
-- Flash Cannon
-- Discharge
Bio: Once a popular regular at Sinnoh's Battle Zone, Mira helped in the evacuation efforts of the area from Nova as much as she could before evacuating herself out, getting separated from her fellow "Stat Trainers" as a result, with the exception of Marley, with whom she shared evac ships with. The two of them ended up joining Team Xerneas. Despite Marley's cynicism and poor opinion regarding Xerneas's leadership, Mira still feels a sense of loyalty to the team even after it became integrated into Team Mewtwo. Due to an unknown crazy lady destroying the warehouse containing most of the team's Cosmic Drives, Mira took it upon herself to gather the devices not in use and keep them safe in her belongings. After a spectacular display of noise going back to her living quarters in search for one device in particular because of Marley's Shaymin being more agitated than usual, Mira and Marley reunited with Riley and Cheryl, and the four of them launched an assault on Nova's Flower Paradise base (along with unexpected help from a boy named Austin and a man named Eusine), recovered some Gracidea Flowers, and rescued Victini, who was brainwashed by extracts from Gracidea Flowers. From then on, Mira and co. have performed various operations under Mewtwo's banner... Though she secretly wished it was under Xerneas's banner.
