Team Oblivion

Hunter & Cardinal are based on the protagonists of Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs. In the TPoP-universe, they were popular heroes about ~7-10 years before the events of TPoP took place.

Appearances:
Hunter has a bulkier body and head compared to a Skarmory's usually thin and narrow build, which is likely inherited from his Staraptor father. His collar and other dark areas are also more gray than blue.

Cardinal has few differences distinguishing her from other Zebstrika. When looked at closely, however, her coat changes colors and density ever so slightly as seasons change similarly to a Deerling/Sawsbuck's. Her "mane", however, does not.

Useless Trivia:

 * As a result of some rough times in Oblivia, Hunter typically becomes paralyzingly anxious when in dark & enclosed spaces, and/or left alone.
 * Sometimes he rattles off in Kalosian when he's nervous. Other times he does it to annoy Cardinal, whom he knows can't understand him.
 * His father being a Staraptor is a reference to the MC's counterpart in Guardian Signs' partner Pokémon being a Staraptor.

 * After a bad accident in Unova, Cardinal gets wary around unstable, rocky structures.
 * The stripes on Cardinal's underbelly distortedly spell out "Terry". The design on her back is the default Ranger Sign, referencing her being based on Summer.
