For the record, if there's not an agreement on nicknames, I'll be picking whichever Pokémon has the most total votes, and then picking whichever was the most popular nickname for that specific Pokémon. This might have been what everyone was assuming, but I thought I'd clarify, especially since I don't know how to set up the auto-counter to do that.

This is probably overthinking it a lot, but I'm really interested what uh Team Fang! looks like and how their ideology (scant as RWBY has been at actually developing White Fang ideology anyway) intersects with Pokemon.
Presumably there's an element of like Atlas industrialists deliberately using Machamp labor and Polygon automation, to scab and break Faunus organizing and advocacy, a message of paternalistic noblesse oblige "allowing" the Faunus to work in the hand-eating factory and blacklung mines and "providing" them with survival wages as they build Pokeballs and process the Dust into Thunderstones or whatever. The Faunus being "naturally-suited" to their low class roles as semi-Pokemon inferiors, and not even the noble Pokemon the good people of Mantle see in themselves and their knightly ancestors (except of course, when the Faunus get riled up by their "bestial instincts" and unleash their inner Grimm).
So the Fang having like an initial message of ecological and social equity and cross-species solidarity with like factory-farmed Buneary and their rabbit Faunus nurses and overseers both liberated from Type-casting bigotry and cruel capitalist hierarchy and segmentation? And then like Team Leader Adam twisting it into the Faunus unironically unleashing their primal instincts or whatever, going back to the golden age where Pokemon walked side by side with their partners in ancient warrior bonds, where only the strong and the worthy Faunus are left standing, to properly appreciate and be one with the world?

This is really good by the way. Honestly if I had heard of it it might have satisfied the brainworms I'm sacrificing this quest to but we're here now.
Also halfway point tally. That's 7 Vulpix, 4 Charcadet, 3 Ralts.

4 Ralts I got to that part in the fic ;_;

Honestly all the options are great picks for Weiss, but I can't not pick Ralts because I to am a reader or Boldores and Boomsticks.

Ladies and Gentlemen. The Schnee Company is proud to present...Weiss Schnee, and Aurora.
Here she is. A beautiful distraction from the nastiness that clings to her name like poison. She wonders if anyone is going to see anything from the alleged charity of this performance. Or if it would help their reputation any.
>Weiss's Bad Rep (enemies of Schnee Co.)
The girl on the stage closed her eyes and focused. This was just another performance. She would do her best, which would be perfect, and then she could move on to other things. Her partner, standing beside her, mimicked her actions, letting practiced routine guide her paws in a circular, measured dance as the crystals of snowflakes began to swirl around the pair. The girl's voice rang out, high and melancholy, her Heart displayed as a glittering, distant jewel before the audience, while her partner silently crafted the floating crystals into an intricate storm, weaving ephemeral murals in the air around that core of diamond.
The audience loved it. Of course they did. It was beautiful, and perfect, and a cold reflection of someone else's pain. The girl's contempt for them adds an edge to the lyrics.
>Weiss's Mean (even if they deserve it)
The girl's mind was not on the performance. It didn't need to be, even if it could. Your mind was on your battle, the one days before.
He was giving you a chance to do as you willed. He would deign to allow you your Journey...as long as you could prove yourself against an opponent of his choosing.
You had accepted. You were the very best. Your partner was the very best, and you trusted her with your life. Both bred, raised, and trained to be the ultimate expression of your families' pride.
Your confidence wasn't shaken when you, a small girl with a small fox who had each only sparred with professionally trained combatants, looked up at a 15 meter tall mass of flying steel. A family Corviknight, fully evolved and in possession of the Gigantamax Factor, a young bird who would one day be a captain of the guard amongst Pokémon, and a being who, by all rights, should have been protecting his rightful lady from harm, and not gazing down at you like an incipient meal.
Two tiny beings should not be able to face this monster in a battle.
You did anyway, Pokéball flying from your left hand.
"Go, Aurora!"
As trainer and Pokémon split up to divide the solo Pokémon's attention, and Aurora's natural connection to the storm began freezing the water out of the air, you took stock of the situation. You knew this Corviknight, knew he was recently evolved - even your father wasn't insane enough to make you fight a veteran. The fact that he was being left alone with instructions to fight "as a Wild Pokémon" also meant that you wouldn't have to out-think a human trainer. On the other hand, Gigantamax would make it much tougher than a normal Pokémon, and the metal insulating its feathers meant that none of Aurora's attacks would be as effective as they would be against one of the younger members of its line...then again, no armor is perfect.
"Aurora! Powder Snow, aim for the wing joints!"
Yipping acknowledgement to your order, Aurora brought herself to a stop on top of a rapidly forming snow drift and focused the snowstorm that her mere presence could summon, the icy crystals focusing on the massive Corviknight's wings as it hovers further into the air. Even from the ground you could see stress starting to form in the gunship-sized Pokémon's wing armor from the raw temperature drop, but it was not enough to freeze it properly or arrest its movement. Which was really unfortunate, because as soon as it neared the upper bounds of the massive, roofless dueling arena you were fighting in (designed to accomodate even the largest Gigantamaxes, being built over a Power Spot for Company-sponsored exhibitions), it dove down from the unnatural snow clouds occluding the shattered moon. In a dive-bomb, it launched a flurry of feathers at you and Aurora, an attack imitated often by the Grimm that mocked its form. Fortunately, its aim was casual, and the shrapnel attack grazed Aurora but missed you entirely. So, that was how it was going to fight. Neither showing you proper consideration as an opponent nor the deference Pokémon usually gave to the humans who involved themselves in their fights. Cocky and rude. You could use that.
As the snowstorm of Aurora's being swirls harder, you note her injuries as she dashes across the snow for a better position, and then you note the Corviknight's lazy circling with trepidation - both parties were already wounded, but while the Corviknight could easily endure even harder hits, Aurora was vulnerable. You see the move coming as soon as the Corviknight locks the steel joints of its wings, crushing the lingering frost from Aurora's last attack. It was going for the knockout now.
Light feet and practiced movements let you practically glide across the snow, the artificial weather second nature to you for as long as you've known Aurora - and it has been a long time. A partner, a companion, your only...well, your only consistent friend. Someone you've raised to be strong, and beautiful, and just, and kinder than you, and she's about to be knocked into next year by a super-effective Steel Wing attack.
"Ice Shard on my mark!" you shouted over the swirling snow and the jet-engine sound of the Corviknight lining up for its attack run. "Then break left!"
"Mark!"
You declared the orders and were obeyed instantly, the sudden head-on chunk of hail doing just enough damage to put a crack in the Corviknight's head armor and make it blink. Not even flinch, blink. But it was enough for you to bring yourself next to Aurora and practically punt her out of the way of the oncoming ferrously-bladed wing, turning a certain knockout into a surprised yip and searing pain across your own face as you're clipped by the avian equivalent of a freight train flying through the air.
You lost track of what happened next.
The next thing you remembered was lying on the ground as Aurora rounded on you to come lick your new facial wound. It couldn't have been more than a few seconds, as the Corviknight hadn't attacked your tiny, battered partner again, but was instead lining itself up on the opposite end of the arena, beating up winds with its wings. Ah, you realized. It thinks it's won, so it's going to end this flashily. Big enough to fly passenger service to Vale, and it's still a cocky little boy.
You smirked, and reached into a pocket. Realizing you were alright, and anticipating your plan, Aurora yipped, and turned to place herself between you and the oncoming storm.
Gaining your feet, you take out your trump card - the Wishing Star, the symbol of your family's mastery over matter and energy, and a Pokémon's mastery over space, and then load it into the bracelet on your right wrist. With a spin of the device, you invoke the ancient skills of your family.
"Aurora, Dynamax!"
The tiny fox, whose bushy tail barely arced above your own waist when she was curious or angry, grew - not to the visible extent of a true Gigantamax Pokémon, but you sensed the flow of the wind cease as the G-Max move from the Corviknight was blocked by a Pokémon far larger and more massive than it appeared, the spatial compression of Dynamax saving you the humiliation of being slammed into the arena wall by gale force winds. Aurora would get so many treats later. As it was, the enhanced vitality that came with Dynamaxing was enough to let the frosty fox hold on, claws digging into the arena floor as she resisted, and then, as the Corviknight's power was spent, her aquamarine eyes gleamed.
"Our turn."
>Weiss's Trump Card: Dynamax
>Increases the health and toughness of one Pokémon for a set number of turns, and can spend a Mastery to use a Max Move (or G-Max move for a Pokémon with the Gigantamax Factor)
Only a trained eye could see what happened next, as Aurora poised herself for an attack one instant, and then an instant later was on the other side of the arena, behind the Corviknight and contemptuously licking at a cut on her paw. In between those two moments, however, the massive, near-transparent silhouette of the fox, far larger than she appeared, made an almost instantaneous transit between her starting and ending points, as Max Phantasm crashed through the Corviknight with no resistance. Armored plates fell from the bird as its wings gave out, and it crashed to the floor with the cacopheny of a bull in a blacksmith's shop. The knightly raven, unable to even turn and see the Pokémon who had defeated it, blinked once at you in awe, and then bowed its head in acknowledgement of defeat before it was automatically recalled to its Pokéball.
The girl on the stage came to the end of her song. That fight came close to putting her and Aurora in the hospital. As it was, she'd had to fight her stylists tooth and nail not to put far too much concealer on the scar over her eye. The scar was a badge that she - you - could wear with pride.
You and Aurora were more than pretty curiosities, to be put on some pedestal in a museum.
You were warriors.
Who also happened to be pretty good performers, you admit, as you and she make a coordinated curtsy to the thunderous applause at the end of your piece.
[X] Blake Belladonna
Miss Belladonna, I see.
Hm? No, I don't have any questions. I'm sure there are lots of Belladonnas out there with paper trails that end at a bookstore in Vale City two weeks ago. After all, if you were someone suspicious or well-known, you'd be using an alias anyway, right?
Anyway, I see you have a Pokémon with you. May I ask what kind?
[ ] Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent
Froakie's been with you as long as you can remember, a tiny little helper in the halls and libraries of your youth, as well as a protector and watcher in the beautiful and deadly lands around your home. They're a good kid, and at first when they followed you as you fled your home, you thought they were trying to persuade you back, or report back to your parents. Then you realized they were serious about joining you underground and felt even worse. Nonetheless, they took to the job of freedom fighting with the aplomb of a theater kid, and you're even more confused now that they're following you in your latest running-away-from-your-problems escapade.
Froakie is a complement to Blake in a more cheerful facade, but in battle they're both equally deadly, moving faster than the eye can see and leaving decoys and distractions to confound the opponent. Froakie can destroy you without ever getting close enough that you know they were there, and Blake prefers it that way.
[ ] Pawniard, the Sharp Blade Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Dark/Steel
Ability: Inner Focus
Loyalty. Duty. Commitment to the cause. You and Pawniard shared all of these traits, along with allegiance to Team White Fang, and your respective mentors. Dutiful soldiers who would accept whatever sacrifice was demanded of you, you made an ideal team of infiltrator and enforcer...until you didn't. You've left the chessboard, run away and abandoned your duties, and you honestly can't understand why your partner followed you. Not unless they were tired of being a pawn as well.
Blake and Pawniard are an efficient pair, pinning down enemies with relentless pressure and flanking maneuvers until there's no escape. Neither rogue chess piece is open enough with their feelings to understand why they've shirked their loyalty, however...not without a lengthy trip to the other side of the board.
[ ] Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Bug/Ground
Ability: Run Away
Nincada was a partnership forged in desperation and empathy, a hungry scavenger meeting a potential meal who, rather than simply chase it off, offered some of her own near-nonexistent stockpile of food. Both Pokémon and faunus coming together at their lowest to lift each other up gave both some hope in the continued power of partnership, even if both are currently more than a little fragile.
Nincada and Blake are both fast, and never where you expect them to be until they're in your face and stoically holding a blade. Speed and ambushses are the order of the day with both, as are being where the problems aren't, for better or worse.
I'm making rules up as I go with regards to "Trump Cards", so things might get buffed or nerfed with regards to Dynamax/Gigantamax. But I rather like the bonus "health" style transformation.
I had a very hard time narrowing down Blake's starter choices and you might notice I abandoned all the potential bits about using Evil Team commons. Would you believe the last debate was over Froakie vs. Rowlet and not any kind of cat (or Nickit)? Anyway.

Gained 1 Pokémon EXP
The girl on the stage came to the end of her song. That fight came close to putting her and Aurora in the hospital. As it was, she'd had to fight her stylists tooth and nail not to put far too much concealer on the scar over her eye. The scar was a badge that she - you - could wear with pride.
You and Aurora were more than pretty curiosities, to be put on some pedestal in a museum.
You were warriors.
Who also happened to be pretty good performers, you admit, as you and she make a coordinated curtsy to the thunderous applause at the end of your piece.

[X] Blake Belladonna
Miss Belladonna, I see.
Hm? No, I don't have any questions. I'm sure there are lots of Belladonnas out there with paper trails that end at a bookstore in Vale City two weeks ago. After all, if you were someone suspicious or well-known, you'd be using an alias anyway, right?
Anyway, I see you have a Pokémon with you. May I ask what kind?
[ ] Froakie, the Bubble Frog Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Water
Ability: Torrent
Froakie's been with you as long as you can remember, a tiny little helper in the halls and libraries of your youth, as well as a protector and watcher in the beautiful and deadly lands around your home. They're a good kid, and at first when they followed you as you fled your home, you thought they were trying to persuade you back, or report back to your parents. Then you realized they were serious about joining you underground and felt even worse. Nonetheless, they took to the job of freedom fighting with the aplomb of a theater kid, and you're even more confused now that they're following you in your latest running-away-from-your-problems escapade.
Froakie is a complement to Blake in a more cheerful facade, but in battle they're both equally deadly, moving faster than the eye can see and leaving decoys and distractions to confound the opponent. Froakie can destroy you without ever getting close enough that you know they were there, and Blake prefers it that way.
[ ] Pawniard, the Sharp Blade Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Dark/Steel
Ability: Inner Focus
Loyalty. Duty. Commitment to the cause. You and Pawniard shared all of these traits, along with allegiance to Team White Fang, and your respective mentors. Dutiful soldiers who would accept whatever sacrifice was demanded of you, you made an ideal team of infiltrator and enforcer...until you didn't. You've left the chessboard, run away and abandoned your duties, and you honestly can't understand why your partner followed you. Not unless they were tired of being a pawn as well.
Blake and Pawniard are an efficient pair, pinning down enemies with relentless pressure and flanking maneuvers until there's no escape. Neither rogue chess piece is open enough with their feelings to understand why they've shirked their loyalty, however...not without a lengthy trip to the other side of the board.
[ ] Nincada, the Trainee Pokémon
- [ ] Nickname: [Write-In]
Type: Bug/Ground
Ability: Run Away
Nincada was a partnership forged in desperation and empathy, a hungry scavenger meeting a potential meal who, rather than simply chase it off, offered some of her own near-nonexistent stockpile of food. Both Pokémon and faunus coming together at their lowest to lift each other up gave both some hope in the continued power of partnership, even if both are currently more than a little fragile.
Nincada and Blake are both fast, and never where you expect them to be until they're in your face and stoically holding a blade. Speed and ambushses are the order of the day with both, as are being where the problems aren't, for better or worse.
I'm making rules up as I go with regards to "Trump Cards", so things might get buffed or nerfed with regards to Dynamax/Gigantamax. But I rather like the bonus "health" style transformation.
I had a very hard time narrowing down Blake's starter choices and you might notice I abandoned all the potential bits about using Evil Team commons. Would you believe the last debate was over Froakie vs. Rowlet and not any kind of cat (or Nickit)? Anyway.

To be clear, did Nincada meet Blake after she ran from the White Fang?
- Pronouns
- He/They/She
Yes. Unlike the other girls, these are listed in approximately chronological order. Froakie would have met her pre-White Fang, Pawniard during, or Nincada within the last month in Forever Fall post bail.
Naturally this will have a slightly larger effect on the prologue post than the choices for Red or White did.
