>>56057193>HonedgeIt was a random Honedge she found while exploring Relic Castle when she was like 13. Mawlie knocked it out and Emily threw a Luxury Ball at it. Very standard stuff.
>LarvestaEmily's Volcarona is from an unattended Egg she found in the depths of Relic Castle, seated on a throne, in the same expedition into the ruins as when she got her Honedge. The parent was not found despite Emily actually TRYING to find it. So she just took the Egg home with her not knowing what it was going to be and had no idea what a Larvesta was until she asked on message boards. Bug maniacs went nuts upon seeing her photo of her newly hatched Larvesta.
>MagnemiteEmily actually has a Magnezone and it was a Magnemite she found sapping power from a major company's neon lights on it's rooftop on her way out of Castelia City on the beginning of her journey and campaign vs Team Plasma. Mawlie knocked it out and she caught it. Magnezone is currently one of her weakest Pokemon on a comparative scale but very painfully strong by normal Pokemon standards. An all-out Thunder attack that used up every bit of stamina that Magnezone had outright sundered and split the Team Plasma airship frigate in half in the wake of the Opelucid City event.
>DeinoEmily's Hydreigon was originally a Deino she found at Mistralton Cave (cause it makes no sense for Axew to be there but not Deino imo). Another honestly easy win for Mawlie for obvious Fairy-typing related reasons and Emily caught it. And from there Emily and Deino outright brawled with each other for dominance. Emily won while it was a Deino and it tried again upon becoming a Zweilous, which is why she's all covered in scars. She won again and when Zweilous became a Hydreigon, it was her Pokemon that quashed the dragon and the dynamic was made abundantly clear and the order was established.
