Sumire

Name meaning: Violet, representing honesty

Acquired: Kanto, raised from an Ekans

Wish: To be the one to end me

"An elegant rippling body that is all muscles, clad in scales that shimmer violet hues and sing of unspeakable violence. A predator through and through, a tremendous beast that can snap bone so very easily and yet moves so gentle in the dark.

"The fear she summons is a venom all her own, and she takes full advantage of her menacing gaze to sear it into the very flesh of her foes before she finally deigns to sink her fangs in.

"She coils around me in the late hours of the night and squeezes herself tight me as if to remind me that at any moment she can end my life. Until that moment she is my most trusted companion, and this trust is the foundation of our bond and the origin of her namesake. She will be the one to end me, so I need worry about nothing else to bring me harm. She is fully upfront in her intentions.

"A violet that drips with overflowing sincerity, Sumire.

"Her eyesight is my own in the dark. Her tongue keeps watch for the scent of my enemies. Her fangs are my daggers. She devotes her entire being to protecting her quarry, and thus she cherishes me as much as I do her.

"She is blooming with sorrow, loneliness, honesty for the one person she could ever trust in this world. A reflection of my heart."

Asagao

Name meaning: Morning Glory, representing devotion

Acquired: Kanto, raised from a Zubat

Wish: To fly higher than the moon

"A terrible bloodsucker that basks in moonlight, seeking out prey on silent wings. Black, sleek fur conceals her by night, and the only indication that she comes is by the glow of giant yellow and hungry eyes.

"Hers is a thirst that can never be sated. My blood keeps her steady in the air, and yet she always wants for more. It is because my blood tastes the sweetest, a blood that is surrendered freely. It is a show of fealty. Bleeding for the sake of another is the deepest devotion, like the signing of a pact. Thus, with each drop of blood I know she will return to me.

"That is the devotion of her name, a flower that returns with the morning, Asagao.

"She scouts the night unparalleled. She finds whatever my heart desires. She flies day and night, and extends my reach. And she will seize whatever she must and return it to me, all for a single taste of my blood, rich like wine.

"She blooms with longing, despair in her heart for the only one who understands her does not care for the life she drinks. She must feed in order to live. And yet, only someone such as that will freely give her the fresh blood she needs to survive.

"Perhaps it's affection now that keeps me feeding her. Perhaps it's pity."

Erica

Name meaning: Erica, meaning solitude

Acquired: Kanto, raised from an Eevee

Wish: ?

"TBD..."

Ayame

Name meaning: Iris, representing loyalty and good tidings

Acquired: Kanto, rescued from Team Rocket

Wish: To see the forest where she was born one last time

"Broad petals defy the choking smog of the city. Vibrant beyond measure, larger than one can imagine. Bigger and more extravagant than any city Venusaur could hope to become. She is truly at her apex as sole sovereign of a solitary forest, and she does not take kindly to those that would forget that.

"Venerable, an eternal-blooming flower that has lived nearly a century. She longs to see the forest where she was once the rightful matriarch one last time. Though this forest was razed, though she was captured in the midst of an attempt to save it, she has entrusted this wish to me now.

"Wilted and battered amidst hundreds of pokemon just like her, she and I made a pact that I would bring her to this place if she would bring me my freedom.

"She is a flower that blooms in loyalty for this cause, Ayame.

"I have nursed her back to health, as much as possible in the middle of a city like this. And she has nurtured me in turn. She has lent me her unparalleled strength and beauty, and I have lent her my heart, whatever is left of it, as a fertile bed to grow anew.

"Her roots are sunken deep into me now."
