Duchess [Female Purugly]: A childhood companion, this Purugly is easily the most loyal Pokémon trained by Team Fashion Admin, Delores. Mastering the art of flattery, Duchess prefers to use her Attract on an opponent's male Pokémon before striking when their guard is down. Delores claims to have sheltered her Purugly for as long as she can remember. Interestingly, the Tiger Cat Pokémon shows no sign of aging and displays the vitality of a healthy and matured Pokémon Level: 42 Ability: Thick Fat Move Pool: Fake Out, Sucker Punch, Slash, Play Rough, Attract Jasper [Female Jynx]: Delores first encountered Jasper on her ski retreat in the Seafoam Islands. She was instantly enamored by the Human Shape Pokémon's radiant singing voice and seized the wild Jynx at once. Although they are still not well acquainted with each other, Jasper serves as a reliable source of powerful Ice-Type attacks. She is arguably the most experienced Pokémon at Delores' disposal and will not accept competition from her fellow Pokémon for this title. Jynx will often hog the spotlight in a desperate attempt to regain all of the admiration of her Trainer. In some instances Jasper has even frozen her fellow Pokémon, effectively incapacitating them, and rendering them unable to steal Delores' attention. Level: 44 Ability: Forewarn Move Pool: Psychic, Ice Punch, Hail, Aurora Veil, Blizzard Parfume [Female Aromatisse]: In her prime, Delores was sought after by many eligible bachelors as she was a well-respected owner of land and wealth. As her courting went on, her suitors would offer her gifts of luxury the likes she had never seen. Presents beyond imagination showered Delores for months, but not a single one peaked her interest. No mere object would convince the baroness to wed, instead, she longed for a Pokémon whose nature embodied her style and fashion. Delores was presented countless Pokémon from Milotic to Dragonair, but the baroness still was not impressed by the findings of her suitors. When all hope seemed to be lost, she discovered a small pink Pokémon admiring the fragrance of the baroness' rose garden. Could it be? The Pokémon she had been searching for? She had captured the Fairy-Type Pokémon at once and had cherished it ever since. Parfume is a worthy opponent in battle due to her sustainability and special attack prowess. For this reason, she is often Delores' first choice in challenges. Level: 42 Ability: Aroma Veil Move Pool: Draining Kiss, Aromatherapy, Moonblast, Misty Terrain, Dazzling Gleam Coral [Female Bruxish]: On the coast of the Secluded Shore, is where Delores encountered Coral the Bruxish during Team Flare's "Tropical Business Alolan Getaway". Along the seashore, children played and cared for their Pokémon from sunrise to sun fall. Each child greatly enjoyed their time spent with their Pokémon, especially a young boy and his colorful Gnash Teeth Pokémon. Delores could not resist the natural beauty of the creature. She had to have it. A barter was made to the small boy; his Bruxish for her Mandibuzz. At his refusal, Delores snatched the Pokémon and left the boy empty-handed at the water's edge. Bruxish took an immediate liking to her new owner and from that point on was called Coral. With a variety of biting attacks, Bruxish provides incredible physical damage to Delores' team. Level: 41 Ability: Strong Jaw Move Pool: Aqua Jet, Disable, Crunch, Psychic Fangs, Ice Fang Pocus [Male Kadabra]: The most recently procured Pokémon, illegally of course. Delores had employed her grunts to collect a Pokémon that knows the move Teleport. Stealing from a beginning Trainer, Delores takes great pride in her ability to travel the entire world in the blink of an eye. Kadabra, known as Pocus, is incredibly obedient and does not refuse an order given from Delores. Without any combative moves, he is purely a mode of transportation for Delores. Level: 18 Ability: Inner Focus Move Pool: Confusion, Teleport, Kinesis, Disable

She carries herself with a weight, something that no amount of furs or pelts can distort. Mountains of makeup on a field of flesh reminds one of a terrifying Halloween mask. Her lips claim to be red but show a disgusting shade that put shame to the flowering rose. Her eyes call an homage to green but instead reveal pools of septic swamp that tarnishes the emerald likeness. Yes, it is true that she is beautiful, but that image has since been lost from sins of pride, envy, and gluttony.
Fashion is the pride of this woman, encompassing pelts of Ninetales or Arcanine into her ensemble. A handbag made of Krookodile and a hat crafted of Altaria feathers complete the outfit creating sinister apparel that is sure to strike fear into Pokémon and their Trainers. Delores looms over most people with her hulking build, she often uses her size to intimidate her opponent. A fiendish smile creeps beneath her crooked nose when she manages to conjure an idea. Possibly her most terrifying feature is her intellect.

Delores is the calm of a storm, a vision of tranquility at the center of chaos. She will never relish in her criminal acts, but simply ensure that her image of power and style is not tarnished from arson, theft, or sabotage. Though as collected as she may try to be, Delores never fails to reach the brink of insanity when it comes to Pokémon Contests. Yes, it's true that she possesses a passion as a Pokémon Coordinator, but that fire burns from a dark cave inside of her. Desiring a title that comes with the authoritative power of President, no, Empress, with a crown to govern all she may deem inferior.
Delores can be described as being juvenile in her behavior when it comes to losing. Simply speaking, she refuses to lose. Often resorting to acts of violence in order to secure a victory, unsurprisingly, none of her achieved Contest Ribbons were earned legally. Her voice is as cold as her stare, and both are excellent weapons towards uncooperative judges. Delores has been compared to villainous witches and sorcerers in fictional fairy tales and all who are employed by her, dare not to defy her wishes.

No voices were harbored within the castle walls as the two girls watched each other from the opposite end of the card table, anticipating the opponent's next move. "How could she have won? How did she do it? She must have cheated!" Delores thought to herself, and at once the young girl sat up, knocked the chess board onto the floor, and tore a matted wad of hair from her sister's head. Not only had she now won the chess game, but she had also won the obedience of her adversary. This feeling of power, she craved it. No. She had lust for it. From this point on she vowed to never take a breath without this dominance.
Her quest for power brought her to the organization of Team Flare who claimed to have intentions of making the world "beautiful". Intrigued, Delores took no hesitation in entering the group's declared base of operation. Security was tight, but Delores enjoyed the attention. She made easy work of the grunts on staff and patiently waited for Team Flare's leader to acknowledge her. Months later, she serves under Team Flare as an executive overseeing the region of Sinnoh and its inhabitants. To her disappointment, the role of executive involves a lot of mundane tasks with very little action. Now bored with her responsibilities at Team Flare, Delores took it upon herself to create a division of the team that will kidnap Pokémon and sabotage Pokémon Contests. A group of individuals that elect to save Pokémon from their neglectful Trainers with tacky fashion sense and style, oh, and also cause permanent damage to contest halls that do not declare Delores as winner.
Though in the beginning, her numbers were small, Delores has now employed one-third of Team Flare members to aid in the terrorist acts on multiple contest halls. A list of their achievements includes the kidnapping of the entire panel of judges at the Anistar City Hyper Beauty Contest, the heist of the Johto Region Ribbon Cup at the Olivine City Grand Festival, and the arson terrorist attack on the Vermilion City Contest Hall. Authorities were able to salvage the Contest Hall of Vermilion City, but since the attack, no new contests have been planned at this venue. When Delores is not performing criminal activity, she is often scouting contest halls for promising stylish Coordinators to join Team Fashion.
Though none are acquired legally, Delores holds a number of achievements through her Coordinator career. The Hyper Beauty Contest Ribbon from Anistar City, the Johto Region Ribbon Cup from Olivine City, the Marine Contest Ribbon from Cerulean City, the Beauty Master Contest Ribbon from Lumiose City, and the Super Beauty Contest Ribbon from Castelia City. A rumor spread through Kanto is that the terrorist attack on Vermilion City Contest Hall was made by Delores in attempts to assassinate her sister. The gossip claims that Valentina was selected by the judges to win the contest during their deliberation, which prompted Delores to set the venue ablaze. No one knows if Valentina survived the fire, but all other civilians survived the attack.

Regular Abilities └-Skills, professions, knowledge and talents.
Fire Starting: Reminiscent of a "sore loser," Delores will always respond to defeat with explosives. With Fire-Type Pokémon she borrows from Team Flare and hand explosives she acquires from alleyways in Unova, Delores will attempt arson on contest halls that have wronged her. Merciless to the people and Pokémon inside, her eyes are set on one thing from that fire: redemption. By a code of conduct declared by herself, "if I can't win, nobody can," she has an explosive on hand if she comes across a more successful Coordinator than her. │ ├-Type: Talent ├-Category: Knowledge └-Level: Journeyman
Manipulation: Through fear instilled by her size, Delores can intimidate victims to submitting to her. This technique of mental abuse was perfected through years of criminal activity. This skill is excellent at frightening a panel of judges into handing over the first place prize. Often a cold glare or violent threat will suffice, but sometimes the more stubborn contest judges will need to be forced through more dangerous conversation. │ ├-Type: Talent ├-Category: Misc. └-Level: Expert

One second is all it takes, to make everything silent. After a thunderclap, no one can hear. The crimson winds make everyone dance in the plaza. Dark snow rains from the heavens and stains her face, but she does not wipe it away. Instead, she stares blankly at the erupting building. Waiting. People and Pokémon alike run for their lives in attempts to reach safety from the inferno. Houndoom continue their work by roasting anything flammable. Costumes, banners, posters, all are swallowed by the red storm. A whistle blow cuts through the silence. Then sirens. Then screaming. She turns her back to the hall of memories. Taking the hand of a Psychic-Type Pokémon, she vanishes as authorities arrive on the scene.
