Part of a pair of polls with Zoey's Next Pokémon, make sure you catch them both!

To be honest, 2B's options in Mt. Moon aren't as good as Zoey's, so this poll actually extends a bit beyond Mt. Moon, to include options that will become available to her around Cerulean as well. Frankly, she's less in immediate need of more team members than Zoey anyway.

1) Tyrunt. Note that only one of these will be available. Either Zoey or 2B can get a Tyrunt, but not both. Tyrunt provides a Pure Power pokémon that fits 2B's aggressive nature, but not quite with the current team of speed and maneuver specialists. That's not necessarily a bad thing, as Tyrunt and an eventual Tyrantrum would provide a sort of balance/counterweight to a team of mostly smaller and more agility based fighters. Its Rock/Dragon typing is also decent additional coverage on top of what she already has.

2) Makuhita. The other Mount Moon possibility, this fighting type is both initially adorable, fitting for 2B's team, and eventually provides another heavyweight/power option much like Tyrunt would in the long term. Makuhita offers some solid type coverage in the form of the various elemental punches via TM, while also being another pokémon 2B might have some personal insight for. She did have fist weapons available when she was an android, after all, even if they weren't usually her first selection...

3) Buneary. Available up near Bill's house. I shouldn't need to tell you that this little rabbit could be another amusing addition to the 'cute but deadly' theme that 2B mostly has going. A Normal Type, but with good coverage like Makuhita due to a TM pool that includes the various elemental punches.

4) Gyarados. A surprisingly docile and somewhat young Gyarados relocated from elsewhere, that for some reason seems a little terrified of 2B...

5) Wait! Don't add another new teammate until after Cerulean, at least!

Why do they both have Tyrunt as an option and not Absal?

Ototsu_Yume

Buneary for me, I like the idea of her making a sassy cute pokemon team that all end up giving those that witness them nightmares, I could also see her managing to segue into researching mega evolution and managing to get it to mega without the stone or band. Thanks a lot for writing. :)

WhatAFungi

Ummm. I don’t see a world where sexy bunny doesn’t win.

BomeranG

4th one seems familiar.

Dominique Brassel

So I personally would have preferred a chancy for 2B but that is unfortunately not an option...... But my vote is buneary I think it would fit the best of the current options..... Well I would also have been okey with an Abra or horsey as they could be found around cerulean...... Or and hear me out she somehow finds a dreepy around cerulean

Arya13579

Yeah, I saw it had the most votes so far, and was surprised for like, a second, then the realization hit. lol

Arya13579

Honestly though, OP should prob clarify their stance on pokephilia for this one XD

PlagueSpreader64

I'm voted gyarados... just because big bruiser fish with a wide TM move pool to play with. Also the gap moe? Alolan ninetails, jigglypuff, chinchou are all cute and then big menacing sea snake. Also also mega evolution potential. Edit: forgot about the scyther.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I think I did clarify it near the beginning. In that the answer is a very firm Fuck No. No pokephilia -_-. I admit, the 'sexy' reputation didn't even occur to me.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

That was one of the original themes, admittedly :-). I did kinda get off it a bit with Scyther though...

PlagueSpreader64

Also no world in which the wait option will win, even if it should, so long as the other options aren't terrible.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Tyrunt is a special case because of events currently going on in Mt. Moon. I don't want to deal with having to figure out who gets which if they both win on most pokemon. So most of the time they won't both get the same options.

Mr Fox

I love the idea of 2B having a team of adorable murder machines. Also a friendship evolution like lopunny would be great for 2B's emotional developement

Novus's Fanfiction Works

She already has the 'Pink Fairy Pokemon that shouldn't normally be a frontline fighter' niche covered with Jigglypuff, doubling down is just a bit bland.

BomeranG

I feel like Buneary is the most appropriate out of all of them for the theme and her character, but that Gyarados might be best for the story. Still, Buneary's definitely gonna win. People seem to vote for the horny the most.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Admittedly, it would be funny to see peoples reactions after they see 3-4 cute pokemon...the GIANT DRAGON FISH!

SpiritFoxAlf

Also it's compatibility with her style of move creation.

PlagueSpreader64

Especially cuz Gyrados have a *reputation* so everyone would freak out. Then freak out a second time when 2B scolds the giant dragon fish with an aura powered bop on the head. All the while 2B sees nothing wrong.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Which is just weird in this case, as I don't intend to even hint at pokephilla in this story, ever...

BomeranG

You think something as little as the Author's WoG and wishes stop people? It's like you don't spend much time online outside of some very moderated places. Jokes aside, I would also like there to be no hints of pokephilia; but as I said, that won't stop people from voting Buneary.

Dominique Brassel

So my thinking with chancy was as a healer as a healer would be useful in training as well as her desire to help people and Pokemon..... Also the gravity training thing that's going around...... I looked it up and both Jigglypuff and wigglytuff can both learn gravity but they can only have heal pulse as an egg move sadly..... And of course not soft boiled egg or however that other move was called Also the other "healer" Pokemon is audino if I remember correctly and that is also a pink fairy but not as useful as a battler Do you know any other possible "healer" Pokemon.....

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I'm not sticking strictly to game move pools. I think I already gave a move or to via TM that aren't in the official pools. So I'd likely rule that Jigglypuff can learn Healpulse, even if it might require direct tutoring from a pokémon that knows it. In general, there are a few additional pokemon that can use Heal Pulse as well. Even if they aren't used by the Joy Clan as 'healers.' The Ralts like, for example, can learn it. Slowbro line and Lucario too, I think. That last one likely means that 2B herself can learn it, given an example to work with.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

Oh, I know it won't stop people, it literally just didn't even compute for me that people might vote for it because of that, since I know I'm not doing pokephilla :-p.

Dominique Brassel

So I was looking through Bulbapedia to see if I could construct an interesting fairy team....... And there I saw that the alolan Ninetales is actually Ice/fairy typed (which I for some reason didn't remember) So I hereby petition for 2B to become a fairy specialist

Ototsu_Yume

Yeah but everyone needs a ride pokemon/flying type, the only really 'cute' pokemon that can fly that fits the cute babymon theme and carry someone I can think of is Togekiss so she was kinda hurting for options.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I actually considered that originally. I ultimately decided against it, since I've read too many fics with Type Specialists that got boring.

Adam Ouellette

Next after this should be a happiny lol

Artemis

Gyarados: spank me again, mommy!

Carac

We need a Porygon in this Story and it needs an YoRHa upgrade. Endless possibilities, unlimited Power, Reality becomes a suggestion 🤣

Novus's Fanfiction Works

I've already ruled out 'another pink, adorable fairy type,' as it would just be retreading old ground from Jigglypuff. Instead of adding anything new.

Novus's Fanfiction Works

That's on my list of possibilities for 2B. Or a Rotom. But there aren't a lot of logical ways for her to come across one. Possibly if she visits Bill or someone at Sliph Co in the future.
