William Carthall
William Carthall is the central character of the story. He is only thirteen at the beginning of the story. Born in Goldenrod City, Johto, William always seemed to have a dark heart. While not a bully, he was always distant from other children. For his eighth birthday, he received an Egg of an Eevee. At the age of ten, he began his journey and first travelled through Johto, his home region. Despite showing little compassion for other humans, William cared greatly for his Pokémon. He is currently in Kanto, tracking down Team Rocket. He plans to join the criminal syndicate. His team currently consists of Umbreon, Nidorino, Lanturn, Tyrogue, Charmeleon and Scyther.

Samantha Kyle
Samantha Kyle is a member of Team Rocket. While only a Grunt, she is one of the more respected people with this title. She has been considered for a promotion many times. She holds a dark secret which apparently forced her to take up a life of crime. Her only known Pokémon is her partner Pokémon, Jolteon.

Giovanni
Giovanni is the ruthless and unflinching boss of Team Rocket. He rules the organisation with an iron fist, receiving both fear and respect from all who work beneath him.
