<br />
'''Ruthenium''' is an escaped [[The School|School]] experiment and the 44th Schoolchild of the [[New Century Class]]. <br />
<br />
== Appearance == <br />
<br />
Ruthenium is an [Asian] woman of average height with light brown skin and freckles, and has the School-typical purple eyes. She is most often seen wearing a black cloak embroidered with runes that mostly obscures her figure, even in tropical Alola. She prefers to keep her straight hair at chin or neck length.<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Ruthenium is kind but often prefers to keep to herself out of a combination of trying to avoid the likes of Dr. No Heart's attention and personal introversion. She is also very dutiful, having created a makeshift memorial for her departed New Century Classmates and actively maintaining it. <br />
<br />
== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Ruthenium was decanted in early 2001 as the 44th Schoolchild of the New Century Class. Following the escapes of first the nascent Truancy Gang and then [[Diamond]], she managed to escape herself by following the latter's example. Ruthenium then spent the next few years travelling from region to region as a truant, including Paldea, which was where she met [[Lily (Ruthenium)|Lily]] as a Glimmet. <br />
<br />
Eventually, Ruthenium felt a calling to return to the Poni facility and took the risk of returning to Alola around 2006, only to find the base completely abandoned, save for its ghosts, including [[Boron]]. Unbeknownst to Ruthenium at the time, the evacuation was due to Tapu Fini. Due to the nature of the School's abuse, many of the Schoolchildren who died there had ghosts that were unable to move on, and Ruthenium took it upon herself to free them of their torment, making her home within the facility's ruins from that day on. <br />
<br />
Ruthenium then took on training, learning everything to know regarding dealing with spirits, and also converting to Yveltalism. Save for the spirits and when she headed over to Seafolk Village for supplies, Ruthenium spent the next 18 or so years by herself until [[Chiyo]], [[Tagg]], and her fellow Batchmates arrived in April 2023 searching for answers regarding the existence of the [[Iridium (Freshman Class)|Freshman Class Iridium]].<br />
<br />
== Abilities == <br />
<br />
Ruthenium is capable of taking on the empty vessel state that all Schoolchildren and Templars are decanted as in order to take on spirits into her being, and also expel them. For this reason she is often seen surrounded by hitodama, which she can command.<br />
<br />
While not much has been seen of Ruthenium's Psychic abilities as a whole, among them is the ability to pass through solid objects from below, which she mostly uses to get herself out of the Depths. It can also be assumed that her scythe is not merely for show and that she is very skilled in its use as a weapon. <br />
<br />
== Notable Items ==<br />
<br />
* Scythe blessed by the Bargainer Statues of the Depths. <br />
* An enchanted cloak. <br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
* Ruthenium and [[Chiyo]] were friendly during their time in the Poni facility, but not particularly close. Upon meeting again the two have become friends, but the relationship still isn't quite as close as the one Chiyo has with the rest of the Truancy Gang. <br />
* Ruthenium respects [[Tagg]] and is grateful for his help with putting many of the Poni facility's spirits to rest but isn't especially close to him.<br />
* Is an associate of the Bargainer Statues within the Depths, bringing wayward spirits to them in exchange for various boons. <br />

== Achievements ==<br />
<br />
* Has evaded death or recapture by the School for more than 20 years. <br />
<br />
<br />
== Trivia == <br />
<br />
* Ruthenium is the one of the few New Century Class Schoolchildren to still go primarily by her designation instead of a proper name. <br />
* Ruthenium's phasing ability is based on Ascend from ''The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom''. <br />

<hr />
<div>The '''Pottery Wheel Method''' of Pokemon evolution is a specific type of evolution sequence closely related to the type-based sequences and mostly exclusive to Rock and Ground-type Pokemon. It involves the Pokemon becoming surrounded in clay, with only their feet exposed (for Rock-types) or with nothing exposed and them being completely covered (for Ground-types). From there, the evolving mon, inside of a larger-on-the-inside room of blue light, molds their body into that of their evolved form. The method is so named due to the cue for the method-- the sudden appearance of a glowing blue pottery wheel, which the Pokemon can either step on to activate the evolution or break if they do not wish to evolve yet. <br />
<br />
== Methodology and caveats == <br />
<br />
The evolution sequence always begins the same way: with the sudden appearance of a glowing blue pottery wheel at the Pokemon's feet. If the mon does not wish to evolve at all (or if they ''do'' wish to evolve, just not via the method) they can choose to smash or break the pottery wheel by stomping on it with a single foot or via some other method, which will explode the pottery wheel to bits. If they ''do'' decide to evolve via the PWM, however, the mon is free to step onto the pottery wheel. Shortly afterwards, they will be covered by clay initially resembling a formless mass; if the mon is Rock-type their feet will be exposed, as was the case with Saura; however if not Rock-type their entire body will be covered by clay with nothing showing, as was the case with Gwana. Similarly, only non Rock-types will spin on the pottery wheel. While on the outside any observer will just see a formless lump of clay on a pottery wheel regardless of whether it spins around or not, the inside is a lot larger than it appears, containing a blue, mirror-surface-esque room that is conformed initially to the shape of the Pokemon's current form and expands as the Pokemon shapes itself into its new body. <br />
<br />
While the specific methodology depends on the Pokemon, the general rule of thumb is that PWMs usually begin with a self-performed growth spurt, followed by a usually minute-long slow and often dramatic reshaping of the Pokemon's body from head to toe done to the mon by the mon themselves. Quadrupedal mons usually have to rely almost solely on strength alone to form their new bodies, save for leg reformation (where they are free to stretch out and modify their legs into their evolved form's shape), while bipedal mons tend to form their own body parts themselves by molding them via their own appendages. After the formation of the mon's body, during which from the outside the formless mass of clay takes on the shape of the evolved mon, the blue mirrored room conforms to their new shape before collapsing in on them, with the pottery wheel underneath them glowing brightly. Within seconds both the room and the pottery wheel break and explode off into bits of blue material, revealing the Pokemon's newly-evolved form. <br />
<br />
Interestingly, the pottery wheel method only allows a mon to transform major specific body parts, such as the shapes of their head, body, neck, arms and legs (if any), tails (if any), or any other major physical attributes. Cosmetic changes, such as color or patterns, are done automatically and not by the Pokemon themselves-- for example, while Gwana did draw in the lines that are present on a Marowak's belly onto her own with the bone she was carrying during her evolution, the subsequent spacing of those lines was entirely automatic. That being said, however, certain things can also be done automatically-- Gwana fused her skull to her head by pushing on and squeezing the sides of said skull, but the subsequent closing of all cracks and general smoothing of the skull itself was automatic. <br />
<br />
The general methodology as to why and how the pottery wheel method works has only been revealed off-screen thus far by Chasmo IRP, with Gwana questioning and subsequently being amazed by the fact that it worked multiple times during her evolution. According to the method's originator, Goldenheart388, however, the reason as to why the PWM works is based on the fact that during it, the mon's body essentially gains the properties of a putty-like substance, with basically every interior organ (such as bones, brain, and other organs) except for the (protected) lungs and voice box being converted to pure energy. As such, the mon is able to reshape their bodies freely into the shapes of their evolved forms without having to worry about any permanent or lasting damage. The general feeling of a PWM has been compared to both a post-workout high and freely letting loose contained power, and despite any uncomfortable feelings one might have from hearing about the method or from experiencing said method themselves from the outside, the method is completely pain-free. All organs promptly re-materialize as soon as the evolution is over. <br />
<br />
== In the RP == <br />
<br />
In the RP, the PWM has thus far been associated with Owen Edmundson's Pokemon. Off-screen, [[Nautilu]], [[Crina]], [[Chasmo]], [[Teryx]], and [[Eurypedis]] have all been confirmed to evolve via it; on-screen, both [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12971269370A74820100&page=23228#comment-580699 Saura] and [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=12971269370A74820100&page=23286#comment-582149 Gwana] have done so. Beyond just the physical evolutions, however, the method has been discussed multiple times. Upon initially meeting Anomalo and learning that he was blind, Chasmo mentioned that due to Anomalo's complete blindness it would be rather difficult for him to go through the Pottery Wheel Method. Anomalo, who had only lived for 2 days in prehistoric times and never got to go through the method himself, questioned what it was; he was told that the team would explain it later. Later on, after Saura herself evolved via the PWM and told everyone about it after the Maylene battle, Chasmo took the opportunity to tell the new mons about his first time evolving and what the Pottery Wheel method was; of them only Eurypedis was previously familiar with it due to having evolved via it himself. Steggy was confused as to why he didn't evolve via it; Cephalo expressed slight disgust but still enjoyed it; Anomalo was terrified by it; and Gwana expressed disgust and suspicion of it actually working-- disgust and suspicion that was later alleviated once she evolved via the PWM herself. Saura also told Anomalo that she would personally help Anomalo evolve himself via the PWM, to which Anomalo was very much grateful (according to Goldenheart388, Teryx was helped by Nautilu in a similar fashion when he first evolved). Later on during Gwana's evolution, Stipax internally questioned explaining to Gwana the above-aforementioned science as to what made the PWM actually work (see "Methodology and caveats" above). <br />
<br />
While mainly associated with Owen's Pokemon, Laurie Hitoki is also somewhat associated with the method; D'Autry evolved via the PWM offscreen and Draiman has evolved via it once offscreen and is currently capable of doing it again. <br />
<br />
== Pokemon capable of evolving via the PWM == <br />
<br />
The following Pokemon are all capable of evolving via the PWM:<br />
* All Ground-types that don't evolve with an item (Onix, Gligar, and Rhydon are exempt from PWM methodology due to this)<br />
* All Rock-type Pokemon<br />
* All mons that evolve into a partly Rock or Ground-type Pokemon (such as Grotle or Mudkip)<br />
* All Fossil Pokemon capable of evolution<br />
* All prehistoric Pokemon capable of evolution (Yanmega can evolve via the PWM)<br />
* All Hisuian form Pokemon capable of evolution<br />
* Riolu<br />
<br />

<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* [[Saura]] was the first mon in WAAPT to evolve via the PWM onscreen, while thus far the earliest to evolve via it chronologically is [[Chasmo]]. <br />
* Currently the PWM is exclusive to the mons of the characters played by Goldenheart388 in WAAPT; however, it is open for use by all WAAPTers and can theoretically be used by any of them in the future.<br />
* The PWM was initially supposed to apply to Steel-types along with Ground- and Rock-types, which is the reason why Riolu is listed as a capable mon (it evolves into the half-Steel Lucario). However, the Steel-typing was eventually dropped; ultimately, the only Steel-type mons still capable of evolving via the PWM are Hisuian Sliggoo and Shieldon, both for non-type-related reasons (they are a Hisuian mon and a fossilmon, respectively). Riolu, however, was kept for unknown reasons. <br />
* The PWM originates with a method of evolution that was initially supposed to be present in Goldenheart388's fanfic ''Pokemon Carnegie''; it involved the mon similarly reshaping their own bodies, but applied to every mon, did not involve a pottery wheel or any form of clay, and was not a method of evolution, but a ''law'' of it (the Third Law of Evolution, to be precise). This law, in turn, was based on interpretations of anime evolution animations done by Goldenheart388 that made it seem as though the mon was forcibly reshaping their own body parts, which Goldenheart later on likened to pottery being shaped on a wheel, hence the later name and association with Rock and Ground-type Pokemon.<br />
* As was shown during Saura's evolution into an Aurorus, the blue mirrored clay room that the mon is in during the evolution method is not soundproof; crowds could be heard cheering and Shinedown's "EVOLVE" (the evolution theme for Owen's mons) could be heard playing during said evolution. <br />
* A PWM evolution generally lasts for around 1 minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds both in and out of universe. <br />
** That being said, there are exceptions; according to Goldenheart388 both Joel and D'Autry's evolutions took less than a minute due to the minimal amount of required changes.<br />
* The PWM bears a close resemblance to the Rock-type type-based sequence, with the exceptions that the mon is encased in rock (for most Rock-types) or glass (for Rock/Ground types, Rock/Steel types, and all Lycanroc forms) during the evolution and also that the mon just is able to feel what is happening to them rather than inciting the evolution themselves. <br />
* [[Stipax]] has been present for both onscreen PWM's in WAAPT. <br />

<hr />
<div>'''Lila''' is [[Poppy Campbell|Poppy]]'s {{bp|Sprigatito}}, and the first she acquired during the [[Paldea Arc]].<br />
<br />
== Personality ==<br />
<br />
Lila is one of Poppy's most cunning Pokèmon by a mile. She sees the rules as things that were meant to be broken, which lands her in hot water many times. In battle, she's just as cunning, with her variety of move types and ability Protean. She dreams of fully evolving and becoming a Meowscarada, as she sees it as "unlocking her true potential".<br />
<br />
== Details ==<br />
<br />
* '''Birthday:''' 1st of October, 2023<br />
* '''Age:''' 6 months<br />
* '''Met:''' South Province Area Three<br />
* '''Ability:''' Protean<br />
* '''Ball:''' Poké Ball<br />
<br />
== Battle Strategy ==<br />
<br />
Lila is notorious for her unpredictability in battle. She has her hidden ability Protean, which means she can switch types to whatever move she just used. And with her being able to turn into a Grass, Dark, Fairy or Ghost type, she is one tricky Pokèmon to face.<br />
<br />
== Known Techniques ==<br />
<br />
* {{typeicon|Grass}} Leafage<br />
* {{typeicon|Dark}} Bite<br />
* {{typeicon|Fairy}} Play Rough<br />
* {{typeicon|Ghost}} Shadow Claw<br />
<br />
== Relationships ==<br />
<br />
* Lila exactly isn't the favourite among her team, however, she doesn't seem to mind. She also is unlikely friends with [[Sunrise (Poppy)|Sunrise]], because Sunrise figured she needed someone to keep watch on her.<br />
<br />
== Trivia ==<br />
<br />
* Lila's name was partially inspired by the character of Lila Rossi from Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug and Cat Noir.<br />
<br />
* Lila shares her birthday, October 1st, with Bonnie Elizabeth Parker, a notorious American criminal alongside her partner Clyde Chestnut "Champion" Barrow.<br />
