Dr. Spectra, The Fighting Pokémon Researcher

Doctor Miriam Spectra is a Researcher who specialises in Engineering, unlike most researchers she partakes missions to study and battle as a Pokémon Trainer. A specialist in Technical Machines and Genetics, she wishes to document all known moves into TMs and help cure Pokemon from Elemental Hypersensitivity. She carries a team of primarily Fighting-Type Pokémon, juxtaposing her scientific background, but her Pokémon were adopted after their original trainer, and her lover, died n a tragic accident.

Elemental Hypersensitivity and the EH-Treatment

Dr. Spectra discovered a psycho-physiological reaction when Pokémon were exposed to specific stimuli, she found that many Pokémon suffer from a type of allergic reaction called 'Elemental Hypersensitivity', the pokémon's body attempting to protect itself from type weaknesses but ends up stressing the creature mentally and physically, resulting in premature fainting. Using her Pokémon as a basis, she was able to identify the key triggers in this response and created a machine in order to treat the condition.

The Treatment was a success, though the treatment did not remove the Pokémon's weaknesses, she observed a 25% decrease in vitality loss when exposed to super-effective moves, changing the multiplier from 2.0x to 1.5x. In addition: Pokémon with dual-typing were no longer doubly-affected by double-effective moves, as an Onix was observed to sustain only 1.5x damage from a Super-effective Water move instead of 2.0x or 4.0x. Lastly the treatment prevented pokemon from being weak to their own type, as such, her own Macross (Fighting/Steel) was still super affected by Fire and Ground moves but was no longer weak to Fighting moves.

Mystery Candy and the Unexpected Side-effect

Dr. Spectra studied the effects of performance-enhancing nutrients to her pokémon, spending months catching pokémon to acquire specific 'Candy' for genetic and chemical analysis. In this time she was able to compile a good sample size to determine the smallest and largest pokémon in the wild as well as a means to producing special candies known as 'Mystery Candy'. A single gumball-sized does could accelerate a single Pokémon's growth potential, observed to be +1000 extra experience, per level, in addition to normal experience gains (1:1). It also increases the pokémon's combat stats overnight, increasing all stats by a minimum of 4 Awakening values (AV), 48 AVs in all. Though the candies could only be produced in small amounts per day, they could be all consumed in on sitting, though the more that was consumed the more pronounced the changes.

Physical growth in the Pokémon was observed within hours of the initial dose, a single candy increasing its overall size; height and weight, over the course of several hours. The pokemon's personality and behaviors remains the same despite the increased size bestowed to them. The Mystery Candy was capable of inducing Gigantism in Pokémon with little to no ill effects.

Dr. Spectra's Pokémon

The majority of Dr. Spectra's team are Fighting Types, except for Kurrage who is Fighting/Normal and Mekoidies which is Psychic. All the pokémon have undergone the 'Elemental Hypersensitivity Treatment', minimising the impact of Super-Effective weaknesses. Additional genetic alterations have given to new forms including Mega and Alternate Evolutions not found in the wild. Though she and the other pokemon are on good terms, she is not the original trainer who caught them, thus there has been difficulty in coordinating battles without the assistance of her Abra, Mekoides.

Kaush (Primeape)

Moves

• Rage
• Revenge
• Thunderbolt

K.P. (Hitmonlee)

K.P. is a Naughty-Natured Hitmonlee who enjoys using the extendable nature of his limbs to play jokes on others or show how tall he is. It wasn't until he took part in Dr. Spectra's experiments that K.P. was subject to 'MAXIMIZE', turning him into a 16ft tall giant Pokémon. His arms now possessed the strength and springiness his legs possessed, able to stretch them to incredible lengths while maintaining a good degree of leverage and impact.

K.P. enjoys the extra height 'MAXIMIZE' gave him, he can tower over other people and pokémon with ease. And should a larger pokémon appear, he can elevate himself further to level the field with his long legs. He likes training with Kaush the Primeape and Spicy Food but dislikes being shorter than other Pokémon and Bitter Food.

Moves/Abilities

• Meteor Drop Kick

A signature move of Dr. Spectra's Hitmonlee: Kix will leap super high into the air for one turn, in which it becomes semi-invulnerable like Fly or Dig. On the next turn it delivers a powerful 195 Power (130 base) Fighting type damage on one foe. Unlike previous incarnations of 'Jump Kick', this attack does not inflict self-damage, but the exhausting nature of the move gives it a PP value of 5.

• Rock Slide

This TM-taught move allows Kix to strike the ground and uplift it to send a wave of rocks towards multiple foes. It has a Power of 75 and primarily used to hit multiple foes and counter Flying Type Pokémon.

• Rolling Kick

Kix forward rolls towards an opponent to deliver a powerful straight kick. With an effective Power of 90 (60 base), this Fighting Type move is quite strong. Additionally, there is a 1 in 3 chance the foe will flinch from such a direct attack. Unfortunately it has an accuracy of 85 due to it's slow startup.

• Poison Jab

This TM-taught move allows Kix to thrust his arm or leg into a foe to inflict Poison type damage, it has a Power of 80 and has a 1 in 3 chance of poisoning the foe. This move was taught tactically to counter Fairy type Pokémon.

• Drain Punch

This TM-taught move allows Kix to strike with an energy-draining punch. A Fighting type move with an effective Power of 112 (75 base) that heals Kix for 50% of the damage dealt to the opponent.

• Growth Strike

A Signature Move of Dr. Spectra's Hitmonlee: This move allows Kix to deliver a powerful punch or kick attack that makes subsequent attacks stronger. It has an effective power of 60 (40 base) and raises its Attack by one stage each time it lands.

• Ability: Powerful Arms

Dr. Spectra's Hitmonelee has a highly developed upper body and its arms function similarly to it's legs, allowing them to deal arm-attacks with as much reach and power as its legs. It can learn 'Punch' moves.

• Ability: Elongate

Dr. Spectra's Hitmonlee's Evasion increases by one stage for each turn it is out in battle, before it attacks. Kix's arms and legs grow more elongates as the battle continues, making avoiding attacks easier as it can reposition with greater distance.

Mekoides (Abra)

A quiet but unusually large Abra that can be often found by Dr. Spectra's side. It hangs in the backline while it's burlier team-mates do the heavy lifting. Mekoides was the first Pokémon that Dr. Spectra legitimately caught after it presented itself to the grieving Doctor. Despite being rare and hard to catch, it neither teleported to safety or resisted capture. This pokemon was able to convince her lover's pokemon to obey Dr. Spectra's orders with telepathy which the other Pokémon responded to warmly. Mekoides was one of the first Pokémon to undergo the effects of Mystery Candy and have its sized increased along with its overall power, in order to test the limits of the Candy's effect it consumed them until it fully awakened, and became a Giant Pokémon. Though it suffers the usual problems of being overlarge, its innate ability to Teleport helps it pass through gaps too small for its body to fit.

Despite its size and passiveness, Dr. Spectra and Mekoides have a bond that extends to the other pokémon, as though guided by a wiser force in the guiding of pokemon in battle. It has Partner Assist which can give Dr. Spectra and the other Pokémon useful benefits in battle: Once per battle, Mekoides can use Lightscreen or Reflect, even if they are not the active pokemon and still allow her active pokemon to use a move.

  • Teleport (A move that switches itself out for another pokémon in waiting, functions as Fly/Dig in that it will disappear for one turn to foil the attacker's attack, then next turn be switched with another pokemon)
