Friend Groups
The three trainers would obviously have their own friend groups (yes even Bede despite his prickly attitude). They get to know certain NRC students and form a close friendship with some of them.
Phoebe - Ace, Deuce, Cater, Azul, Kalim, Malleus
Ace - Their first meeting was off at the start, Ace thought it was funny that three magicless people were here in a school of magic. But of course he shut up after being taught a lesson.
Bede almost sent his Hatterene after him if it weren't for Phoebe being the mediator. He was stunned to see the fairy that could shred him to ribbons back off when the pie dragon blocked her way.
He owes her a lot after getting him and Deuce out of trouble with the chandelier incident too.
Ace admits that taming dragons are kinda cool though. But during the first meeting he only saw Appletun and not the rest so that's why he was teasing them at first.
He learned another lesson after getting his but whooped by a walking pie during sparring lessons.
Deuce - Total fanboy because he thinks Phoebe is someone straight out of an anime. A protagonist with super OP comrades that goes on an adventure for glory.
And he can't help but feel bashful because she tends to reason with him if he ever goes into delinquent mode. He should be the responsible one since he was older but... Phoebe is the mature one here.
Phoebe understands his desire to change from the past and will give him advice she thinks is good for the situation.
His mother probably sends letters if "big sister" Phoebe is doing well. He didn't realize from writing to his mom about Phoebe, she thought the girl was older.
Would she be surprised if Phoebe came to visit one day...
Cater - He reminds her so much of Raihan with his habit of taking selfies and his overly cheerful personality. But Phoebe suspects that Cater is hiding issues behind his easygoing grin.
Spending a lot of time around Raihan, Phoebe tends to slowly notice if something was off...
On the other hand, Cater thinks that Phoebe should be his little sister instead. She's much more understanding and not as pushy as his two sisters back home.
She always asks for his opinion when they hang out.
They're getting food? She asks if he wanted something specific. Going to watch a movie, asks what he prefers the most.
If he doesn't feel like talking, Phoebe just lets him know if he was called for something and doesn't try to pry.
So, he labels her as his NRC little sister. He would soon develop the same overprotectiveness over her much like Raihan.
Azul - Its surprising that those two would get along given how he scammed them out of the dorm.
Phoebe was pretty upset at what he did but after seeing he was actually doing this to cope with his trauma, she was willing to forgive him.
Though she had to stop Bede and Klara from turning him into calamari.
Their friendship is mainly her making business ventures with Azul regarding the madols needed for Ramshackle and their pokemon. Azul was willing to buy berries off their garden for a fair price.
Gradually, he starts to feel like a big brother to her. He worries if she has enough madol to last the week. Even checks up on her health under the guise of making sure his business partner didn't overwork themselves.
Always keeping punks away from her and his plans to make sure Crowley is doing his job.
Though the twins tease him about it while Azul denies such claims. he was simply looking out for his investments. Yeah right, you tell yourself that, Azul.
Kalim - It's no surprise that Phoebe would be friends with Kalim. Bede doesn't like him that much because he's like Hop while Klara thinks he's much to cheerful for her to tolerate for more than an hour.
Phoebe liked Kalim though, he was a nice change from the rather... egocentric students in this academy. Though she wondered how he got accepted here when he's such a nice guy.
And how has he never gotten picked on? His reputation I guess was a shield.
Kalim loves to hear more about Pokemon from Phoebe. He finds them fascinating and the fact that a magicless human can get near such fearsome beasts was something out of a hero's tale.
Phoebe would sometimes invite Kalim over to hang out and she'd grin when Kalim was on the floor trying to coax Appletun to eat some fruit slices.
A part of Kalim slightly envies Phoebe and the other trainers. They get to travel around and go on adventures, learn all they can about the world on their own merit.
He was always pampered and never knew about the rough life of the outside world. Maybe someday he'd be just like them.
Malleus - Out of all the trainers in the trio, he likes Phoebe the most. Sure the boy with fairies was rather intriguing and the lady who walks among creatures with potent poison was quite a surprise, Phoebe was the child with the dragons.
He expected her to be someone who had a powerful image but he sees this sweet little girl who is pampering powerful creatures. It's not a bad thing though... especially when Dratini and Appletun was so affectionate towards him.
Malleus has emotionally adopted Phoebe as his child of dragon. Somewhere in the universe, Raihan feels a chill down his spine.
Bede - Trey, Epel, Vil, Riddle, Leona
Trey - He was the mediator between Riddle and Bede during the first few meetings. Trey was almost stunned because it felt like he was looking over two Riddles.
The image of a white rose and red rose bickering was sureal indeed.
But it turns out that the two of them also enjoyed tea time, though Riddle preferred cakes while Bede preferred sandwiches and scones.
As a big brother, Trey can see how Bede feels down but doesn't want to show others he is weak. He is just like Riddle.
Honestly, Bede probably never had older siblings to look up to. Chairman Rose barely paid him any attention while Opal was the first one to give him proper guidance.
But somewhere in him he also wants to mingle with those close to his age. He couldn't do all that before due to him being a bit of a brat.
Trey may be plain to some but Bede thinks he's a reliable figure that can show him how to better himself.
Epel - Epel admires Bede because despite looking like a doll, he has such a strong personality and his familiars are deceptively strong.
He thought Bede was a dainty boy at first with his ribbon cat and the elegant unicorn, the only one that even looks dangerous was the small one with a large venus flytrap mouth.
But boy was he proven wrong when he saw the cute familiars deck someone for insulting Bede.
Needless to say, Epel wants to be like Bede, someone strong despite his image. He is slightly consious that his muscles haven't shown up and his puberty hasn't hit him yet.
Bede thinks Epel puts him on a pedestal too much.
Was this how he acted before he was abadoned by Chairman Rose?
Vil - Bede was probably scouted by Vil because of his beautiful familiars and the way he carries himself like a noble prince. Thank Opal for those lessons.
Vil is intrigued by the familiars he has, especially the unicorn. Twisted Wonderland deems them too cautious to approach humans but here's one in front of him.
And one with such a glorious mane too!
He sees Bede is confident in his image and isn't afraid of breaking gender stereotypes. Someone said pink isn't a boy color? Bede says otherwise as he sends Hatterene towards whoever said that.
Bede sees Vil like a younger version of Opal, they were rather strict. He shudders after he remembered the training she gave him at first.
And though he was more used to Vil's sterness due to Opal, there are times he has gotten the two mixed up from how similar they act.
Riddle - The two of them didn't get along at first. Bede thought that Riddle's strictness was stupid and unecessary. He saw his past self in Riddle, he was selfish and prideful which made him left with no friends.
Riddle on the other hand thought Bede was a pompous brat who doesn't know about keeping to the rules.
These two butt heads a lot and other students thought they mirror each other with how similar they are to an extent. The two who hear such comment deny so with every fiber of their being.
After the overblot, Riddle could probably understand now why Bede thought his attitude was terrible. He was in a similar situation as him, thinking he was better than the rest.
Putting the wrong person on a pedestal and believing them to be right no matter what.
Now these two have tea time together and chat about certain people they agree send shivers down their spine. AKA the Leech twins.
Leona - Surprising that Leona was tolerating Bede. Much like Riddle, Bede didn't like how Leona held himself back simply because others told him he can't.
He didn't appreciate his "woe is me" attitude. After the overblot, Bede was the one who gave Leona an earful because for one, one of the trainers got injured from the fight (it was Phoebe), and he dared to take victory through criminal means.
Seriously, there could have been kids and elders in the stampeding crowd! He verbally rips into Leona so hard that everyone was stunned.
They didn't know Bede could get this angry.
After that, Leona was irritated that he was being lectured by a fairy brat. He couldn't let go of his prider at first.
Bede shut him up after he played against Savanaclaw in the opening match and demolished Leona.
Right after that Bede told him that the only one who can give him respect is himself, he would only be second best if he let himself be like that. That probably sparked a shred of respect from Leona.
Klara - Rook, Jamil, Ruggie, Jack, Idia
Rook - Klara would be smitten with Rook cause he was a gentleman but over time she realized he's like that with everyone and she just labels him as "Bestie".
Rook knows the irritation Klara has with Vil and it is gorgeous. He loves how both of them are worthy of the title, "Poison King/Queen" he even ships them in his head.
He probably has fanfiction about enemies to lovers about those two but that's his little secret.
Rook is very supportive of Klara, he's her hypeman. Though she gave him a slap when he casually mentioned her hips got an inch wider.
Jamil - These two know what its like to try and sabotage someone to try and be in the spotlight. Jamil tried to usrup Kalim and Klara put Toxic Spikes in the field before battling another trainer-
Phoebe: You did what-?!
Klara: I was desperate shush!
These two would trash talk like the mean girls they are, I know it. Talking to each other how a certain someone would get on their nerves at times.
Though Jamil tends to tease Klara because unlike his flawless acting, Klara makes it obvious she's holding herself back but her expression gives it away.
These two snakes is what others call them.
Though Jamil always reminds Klara to NOT bring her Scolipede over! He nearly had a heart attack from seeing a centipede as big as a horse.
Ruggie - Klara thought he was cute... until during the Savanaclaw arc he stole their pokeballs. She put him in a headlock, never has Bede or Phoebe seen her run after Ruggie so agile and fast.
Ruggie was shocked when he was suddenly on the ground and barely able to breathe because of Klara's strong buff arms around his neck. Did you see her league card? She lifts!
Though she was still salty and held a grudge over Ruggie stealing her precious Pokemon. Ruggie being from the Afterglow Savanah, felt guilty and promised to make it up to her.
He had to let Klara pet his ears whenever she wants. Ruggie relents because respect women and all that.
Ruggie was embarassed at first but Klara brings him snacks from time to time so it won't be all bad.
Klara really does think Ruggie is like a cute Rockruff when he's not being cheeky. Now Ruggie would pretend to cry to Klara when he doesn't feel like doing Leona's chores. Klara gives the lion an earful and he can't even argue.
Jack - You'd think he won't get along with Klara just because she seems kind of sly and would resort to petty tactics.
Well it seemed that way at first but Jack soon discovered that Klara would give it her all and was confident. He didn't like how she would get petty over some little thing but he does admire her dedication.
Those two become training buddies, and Klara would eat up any praise Jack tells her. Her pride inflates with every compliment.
Jack is the one who stops Klara do anything reckless. He basically does the scolding when Phoebe isn't around.
By the way, Klara was shocked to find out Jack was only 16, like boy who feeding you?!
She's not going to simp over a kid but then she thought that if Jack was this muscular... Could there be guys in 20s with the same figure?!
She'd be asking Jack if there was any single hunks out there among beastmen in his hometown.
Idia - Another thing you'd never expect. Idia? He's the shut in Otaku who is allergic to sunlight and socializing. How could he possibly be friends with Klara?
It's simple, like Jamil they like trash talk and gossip.
It all happened one afternoon, Idia was just mumbling behind a tree about certain students being so pushy and noisy. Klara replies to his ramblings from behind the other side of the tree.
Idia was startled but as Klara agrees with his trash talk he just started to go with the flow in their conversation.
Klara likes Idia, another sassy bestie to gossip with. And she digs his entire look. The fire hair? Boi what conditioner you use?
Idia: That's just my natural hair...
Klara: No way!? That look is bespoke!
Also whenever Klara needs blackmail material she goes to Idia. He got cameras everywhere but she would NEVER snitch on him. She keeps her bestie promise!
Idia may or may not have fulfilled his dream of having a waifu even if it was merely a planotic friendship.
