Notes:

What! Lin made MORE Pokemon OCs?! Actually, no; these two have been in my head since 2017, but I didn't finalise them or give them names until 3 days ago. Funny how things turn out, huh. I decided to retcon an unrelated buff Absol – also from 2017 – into this Absol to make her more interesting, and so here are Astrid and Laddie, the strong girl and silly guy! She runs a self defence class, he's some goober who (literally) dropped out of the sky one day. (Laddie is her nickname for him since as "the" Latios in this universe, he doesn't have a proper individual name.)
