Need to have Al put in his two cents soon-ish but Jynx are some of the Pokemon that Al would not want to be alone in a room with. They're creepy and not in a manner he's comfortable with.
Like, seriously. He's got a ghost wrapped around his neck and he's treating a hellhound like it's a puppy. Those are things he's fine with. Pokemon with a penchant for sexual molestation (Bad touch! Bad Touch!!) discomfort him.
Guess which entire type he'd like to avoid? And strangely enough, it even fits with Pokemon lore and typings... Which is kind of a weird coincidence but I like how it worked out.
I mean, an Alakazam might be a nice companion.

A psychic type pokemon? While I'd like to have someone around that could easily keep up with Alchemist's weirdness, given what has happened with pretty much every psychic that has come near him thus far...

That kind of stuff does happen if you mess around with gods.

Would you rather have some with Kary or Jinx stuck in an alternate universe instead?
Stop complaining and go kill some gods, if you dislike seeing it that much!

The Dreepy listened intently as the Great One led it about the lair. The lingering creature could feel many things hidden out of sight. Sources of great power and moments of great joy.
"I don't know how to explain what you all are, not really." The Great One spoke to them both, her and the black-burning coals. "Not in a way that would really matter. Calling you imagination given form, vessels filled with a spark of power and a font of potential is all well and good but it doesn't explain anything or help at all."
Before she'd followed the Great One to the surface, she hadn't interacted with any Humans at all. Of course, it only looked Human for the benefit of the others. Deep benath its surface, she could feel the immeasurable power of a Ghost beyond compare and a Dragon that was greater than even the ancient Dragapult that had spawned her and the others.
Briefly, as he had shown them the Doorway, she had felt another like him. Something powerful beyond measure and filled with Chained Malevolence. A stark contrast to the immeasurable Great One. His will was Steel and he'd shown himself to be mischievious rather than cruel.
She could see the appeal in either direction, really. She and the other Dreepy liked to tickle and tease, fading just out of reach when their playmate for the day grew tired of them.
The black-burning coals listened happily, ignorant of the great wisdom that their 'Trainer' was bestowing upon them. Dreepy did not understand yet, no, but she would listen. She would learn.
"And I could tell you all a bunch of numbers but those aren't real and as such, they don't matter." Her 'Human' continued to speak as he led them into the dark of his realm. Down a well-trod path, past the den that echoed with the memories of an old lair and into another building that radiated pure Fire to her senses. "So we're going to move on to the real meat of things."
Dreepy licked her stubby teeth, remembering. She could dine on misery and sadness, the same as most any other Ghosts. Feed on stolen life as readily as any Zubat... But her Trainer had bid her eat meat, solid food. Mixed with the juices of some tangy fruit.
It was an altogether different experience. She wasn't sure if she'd enjoyed it but she certainly hadn't disliked it.
Her trainer opened the door of the den and raw Fire seeped out. She poked her head up from where it was pressed against his neck to look at the source. A great, grated pillar stood in the center of the room. Flames eternal licked at the air from within.
The black-burning coals stopped to stare, sniffing at the air in confusion as it finally understood that it had been led to something impossible. Something which Dreepy had never heard of in all the legends the few lingering Drakloak had told her and her brood.
"Sirius? You're a very direct kind of fighter. Your physical capabilities are limited, not unexpected given that you're part of a pack and not supposed to be all alone." The black-burning- Sirius. Sirius, he'd been named and so Sirius she would call him. Sirius's ears drooped at the blunt statement of his weaknesses. "But you have good native strengths in raw elemental manipulation and you can learn abilities that can cover most of your native weaknesses. Maybe even all of them. I don't remember if you can learn the Psychic bite attack."
Dreepy tilted her head and looked down at the Sirius. It had perked up quite readily at being told that its weaknesses could be resolved.
Her trainer paused in his explanations as he made way to the middle of the room, then all the way to one side. He kicked the ground, moving aside a panel of wood and revealing a ring of all things.
Dreepy's confusion was cleared when he leaned down, nearly dislodging her, and pulled on the ring. In so doing, he moved a panel that had been placed on the ground, blocking off a tight and narrow stairwell.
"Dreepy- We need a name for you." Her trainer stepped down the stairs, one hand firmly holding against a rail that led down.
If her trainer so wished, she would accept a name. She may even cherish it, should it be a good one.
"First thing first. It's the same question Oak always liked to start with- Are you a boy or a girl?" The room below was dark but for a single pillar in the center that glowed white with enough pure Fire that Dreepy felt dehydrated just by being in the same room.
It was actually rather exhilarating. She was descended of the great and ancient dragons! She'd never heard of a fire that could so much as touch their skin!
Sirius, of course, was absolutely excited and had to press his nose against the impossible fire.
"Drahp." She told her trainer. Girl.
"Alright. Can work with that. Let's see... Speed, that's a given. Something to reference speed- wind maybe? What's a good word for wind... Kamika- No, not happening. Save it for an Electrode..." Her trainer began mumbling as he crossed the room, passing the flame without so much as a second look.
How powerful was the Great One that he had contained the very essence of fire to his command?
"Fast... Fast winds... Not Squall, can't turn you into a brat like that." Dreepy had no idea who this 'Squall' was but she did wonder what he'd done to dissatisfy the Great One so. "Zephyr? God of... Hope. West winds... Maybe something like Zeph? Shorten it to one syllable for convenience, makes it easier in battle?"
Dreepy tilted her head left, then right. Being given such a lofty name was doing a fantastic job of stroking her ego.
Yes... Zeph would do quite well.
"Dree-py!" She cried, acknowledging her agreement.
"Well, I'm glad you like it." Her trainer told her as he bent low and wrapped his hands around nothing on the opposite side of the steps they'd already descended. He raised his hand, grunting loudly before shoving something unseen against the wall. "Sirius, come on. This will be important."
Her lantern-like eyes watched in rapt curiosity as they descended -through- the floor. An illusion? Like the trickster ghosts of the surface?
Her trainer's talents were beyond compare!
There was no light to be found, not at first. Her trainer snapped his fingers and a glowing ball of light rose overhead, illuminating a room filled with boxes... And something else. Something very different.
Standing upon a metal pillar in the center of the room was a glass orb. Inside of which a series of strange stones violently slammed into the sides. All about the room were strange lines and symbols, glowing with a malevolent anti-light that darkened the little light they had and drained the very colors from everything.
"Zeph? You're pretty similar to Sirius. You'll always be fragile." Her trainer told her, revealing the shameful truth of her kind. He did not seem to be cruel about it, at least. "You're incredibly fast and you can hit things very hard, but your strengths lie more in the physical realm. The intent behind your claws, teeth and tail will always be a bit more impactful than if you'd breathed fire or summoned lightning. Even your weaknesses can be covered, from the Dark to the Fae, if we can find the right tools or figure out the methods ourselves."
Zeph pushed her head against her trainer's neck, watching as he opened a box and pulled out a strange, purple crystal.
"...And I just realized I never labeled these." The 'human' sighed before he grabbed the lid from the box he'd just opened and... Changed it. What had once been simple wood became the same black metal that supported the screaming Dark he'd caged in the center of the room.
He held the crystal up in one hand, aimed towards the freshly made sheet of steel and she could feel him maneuver his Energy into his hand and into the crystal.
For a brief second she was confused, for nothing happened.
Then there was a brilliant light, brighter and more cruel than the noon-time sun!
She hissed in pain and burrowed under his clothes while Sirius whined and dropped to the ground, his paws covering his eyes.
"Well... That's Tis Rozain. And not the one I'm looking for." Her trainer sighed and Zeph could hear a loud 'Clink!' as the crystal was dropped into the box, nestled among a hoard of others.
What madness did the Great One perform to touch such a wicked light? How did he wield it with such ease?!
She popped her head back up as he moved on to another box, full of identical purple crystals.
This time, when he picked it up and filled it with his boundless strength, a thin beam of blackened purple fired from the crystal and into the steel sheet. It did nothing to it but Zeph could feel the Abyssal Dark in that action.
"There we go. I was half convinced I was going to grab Chisel Barrage. It'd be good for you both to learn, great against the Fairy types but that's a supplement." Her trainer bared his teeth in what she'd quickly come to understand was glee and closed the box. "For now, we're going to work on the core. Getting a feel for your native energies and what you can do with it."
Zeph had never heard of such a thing and sadly had no frame of reference to connect it to. Her own abilities were painfully limited, her body unable to handle much by way of energy. Even her native strengths, her Ghostly and Draconic powers were truthfully beyond her reach and would mostly remain so until she'd grown enough to become a Drakloak.
Sirius, whilst terribly confused, was also incredibly excited. The Dark beast had felt the innate power, the force it could bring to bear.
Zeph could hardly blame him for being so excited, really. If she could learn to imitate such a thing, she would be the greatest Dreepy to ever exist!
"Let's go." Her trainer called needlessly as they ascended the stairs and returned to the room from which the Fire sprang. "We'll probably hit Celadon in a few days and I'd like to see if the Gym there does one-badge challenges. For that, I'd like to make sure the both of you have a decent basis to grow from. So we'll be focusing on getting familiar with the different energy types and seeing what we can figure out from there."
Zeph didn't really understand everything. Not really. The Great One was likely older than her, had seen more of the world and learned its deeper secrets.
She would just have to pay attention and learn them too!
"I don't know how to explain what you all are, not really." The Great One spoke to them both, her and the black-burning coals. "Not in a way that would really matter. Calling you imagination given form, vessels filled with a spark of power and a font of potential is all well and good but it doesn't explain anything or help at all."

Most of that wasn't Native to Pokémon, it was a small ghost dragon listening to Al as he does as he is wont to do, being an OCP. It's now named Zeph and sees Al as some kind of god figure, on the same level as it's worshipped ancestor that spawned it's species and Pokémon Satan, which is what flew by the space between the Pokémon world and Al's demiplane. Al's pulling out a magic crystal he farmed up earlier in the main story to show his Pokémon the energy and attack so they can learn it and cover their natural weaknesses. Al is trying to get some gym badges so he could get a job as a lab assistant/Pokémon professor and get access to locations where dimensional barriers are weaker and he can actually cast the Gate spell and make it to the next world/go home.

Naming idea:
Sirius + Zephyr = SZ of Team SHAZAM!!!
All Alchemist needs is an H, two A's, and an M to complete the Word of Powaaahhh.
Frescko
King of Silver 🏳️⚧️
so here's some ideas:
Give Zeph some of the Dragon Items and also she's a Ghost so she could totally eat the souls from Dark Souls and Demon Souls (especially of the dragon type)
Give Houndour items related to the dark like the Dark Soul
Use spare souls to make Ghost Type Pokémon, like imagine a Honedge With some super metals.
Try giving an Eevee a Dragon Scale or Powerful Soul or some other energy type that doesn't have an Eeveelutions.
Spirit Tome made of many powerful souls?
Am I saying Alchemist is totally a Dark/Ghost type trainer? Maybe…

How about the whole family? Also a constant seems to be that Alchemist should have given his new family access to his pocket dimension.
I want him to end up as one of the trainers Mewtwo summons. That would be amusing
Does Alchemist still have access to the "Bloodborne" stat-boosting food?
Once Sirius's and Zephyr's intelligence and wisdom stats get boosted, they might be smart enough to learn [Cure] from "Final Fantasy." Ash and Cinder learned [Cure] while they still had animal-level minds, long before they became smart enough to talk.
Sirius: (casts Cure) 🏥
Alchemist: "You have been healed by Good Dog."
Sirius:
"Awooo!"
