Growlithe was Champ's first pokemon. Raised lovingly from an egg, the pokemon took on just as determined a stance as his trainer. He is everything a Growlithe is meant to be; fierce, loyal and protective. He embodies his trainer's enthusiasm for training and will often times over work himself to the point of collapse to reach his own goals.

Still, he often times finds himself worrying about his trainer and other pokemon his trainer owns. Growlithe realizes he can push himself past his limits but worries that sometimes Champ pushes them past their's.

Growlithe will often times find himself forcing Champ into bed or putting food in his hand when the man forgets in his single minded goal of becoming the best. As such, the Growlithe has grown into an almost motherly pokemon and especially views younger or weaker pokemon as if they were babies.

This pokemon is also quite dog-like in behavior and his actions. He prefers to speak in grunts, barks and yips over normal pokespeech and happily wears the collar Champ gave him. He has also learned various hand signals and command words, acting much like a well trained animal over a pokemon on occasion.

Poochyena is a typically happy pokemon, content to enjoy life as it comes. He enjoys travelling outside his pokeball and alongside Champ and his Growlithe. He is an incredibly charismatic pokemon, able to talk his way in or out of most situations as well as schmooze his way into the heart of many. Like most canine species he has a strong protective streak which seems to come out at random times.

Despite his cheerful ways, he's a tad unpredictable in his actions. He is known from strolling alongside his trainer to suddenly bolting away to chase imaginary pokemon or to sniff a random tree quite some distance away.
