Made some refs for Frankie's team! She doesn't battle with either of her pokemon, they are service pokemon.
Feebie, the Togekiss, was given to her as a Togepi while she was recovering from her amputation to help her mentally. Much like Emotional Support Animals, Feebie's primary job is to comfort Frankie and calm her down. Feebie can tell when Frankie is experiencing phantom limb pain to offer support. She will lay on top of her to ground her when she's panicking or anxious, much like a weighted blanket. I imagine Fairy types are common Emotional Support Aids in the pokemon world. Another option for Frankie would've been a Riolu/Lucario, but that evolution line has high energy requirements that Frankie wouldn't have been able to manage.
Michael mostly makes her life easier by retrieving items for her. It's helpful to have another set of "hands" while she's tinkering in her freetime or performing maintenance. She's had Michael since before she was old enough to be a trainer. The only indication it recognizes she lost an arm is the fact it will carry her prosthetic when she's not wearing it. Michael was registered as a service pokemon after Frankie's amputation not because its particularly helpful, but so that she can't be told to recall her pokemon when she travels.
I really enjoy thinking about the various ways pokemon can function as aids! I think the Rockruff line would be particularly helpful for fainting and chronic fatigue, as many service dogs today can smell when their owner is about to pass out, including for disorders like narcolepsy.
Sylveons would be particularly good emotional support and seeing-eye pokemon because they can guide their trainers with their ribbons. Though, I imagine all the Eeveelutions would be good emotional support aids. The friendship evolutions would be most common.

Okay but like.... just HOW hansy is Monoma when it comes to Shinsou's girl tho?
OH man, way more handsy than anyone would really like, which gets made worse by the fact that not even Shinso is as gung-ho about touching you in public as his stupid, blonde friend.
The worst part, though: Shinso is SO dumb about it (at least, at first). He knows Monoma is quite the acquired taste for some people, but... he's gotten so used to the weird antics of being his friend that he kind of just... knows/assumes Monoma isn't actually going to steal you away/do anything that creepy to you... not realizing... he is already THAT creepy.
Monoma's "touchy" isn't the kind of gentle or flirty touching that Denki sometimes paws at you with (holding your waist when Shinso's gone to get you all drinks at the bar, if only to keep you safe, or kissing your knuckles when he jokes he wants the kind of relationship you two have--the kind of thing Shinso does keep a watchful eye on, that charismatic dumbass), no... Monoma touches you roughly, a little bit like a piece of meat, or communal goods Shinso has little interest in keeping to himself.
WHICH ISN'T TRUE AT ALL!!! And all things considered, he is well meaning? If someone who jokingly smacks your butt can be well meaning in the first place.
You just kinda have to be the one to bring it up to Shinso that... Monoma doesn't seem to get that you're not his? </3 ... and isn't just being a friend and celebrating your relationship... but rather being a little, okay, QUITE demeaning.
(Probably because... on one hand he's really happy Shinso finally scored you after 20 years of staring at the back of your head when you weren't looking, but on another, doesn't realize... being friendly with Shinso doesn't make him friendly enough with you to wrap his arm around your neck the way he does, or drag you places by the hand the way he does, or whistle when you arrive wearing the cutest outfit THE WAY HE DOES...)
Which is why I see it going one of two ways:
The first, Shinso happily gives Monoma a fat black eye which the blonde accepts rather graciously for being such a headass in regards to you...
The second, Shinso somehow manages to get Monoma in the bedroom with the both of you.... and he ends up being forced to watch you both as punishment😖☺️
