Did you guys know Monica von Ochs is only 3 inches taller than your average Delphox. Anyways as usual her team’s backgrounds’ll be under the cut.

Delphox (Lovelace): Monica's first Pokemon and her most loyal companion. Monica's own proficiency in fire spells is largely thanks to her studying Lovelace's fire type moves and practicing with her. Lovelace was never able to learn Teleport, which caused some friction between her and Euler when he was first captured.

Corvisquire (Asprey): Monica received a Rookidee as part of Adrestia's tradition of nobles raising Pokemon of this line. Monica actually has trained her to be able to say several words and phrases, though she is not fluent in human languages like a certain Meowth. She can remember and repeat messages too sensitive to be written down. Highly intelligent and a capable battler, Asprey elected to stay a Corvisquire for now in order to be less of an obvious target when delivering messages over long distance.

Alakazam (Euler): Monica wanted to study the differences between an Abra's teleport and a Mage's Warp spell, so she tracked one down to try to befriend. She followed him for days as he teleported away. Eventually, she recognized a pattern which could be solved mathematically, and devised a scheme. She would send Lovelace to spook him into teleporting, and she would already be waiting for him at his destination. This feat impressed him so much that he decided to join her.

Crawdaunt (Evelyn): Once, when Monica was visiting Enbarr, she made friends with a Corphish while she was enjoying the beach. She wanted a partner who could swim with her, and wanted a teammate who would eventually be able to cover her team's glaring dark type weakness, so she invited Evelyn along, who enthusiastically joined her.

Metang (Turing): While Monica was captured by TWSITD, her single respite was a friendly Beldum she would talk to when nobody else was around. It was supposed to be guarding her cell, but none of her captors noticed when it fled along with her, assuming it to have perished in the scuffle.

Ekans (Hypatia): Monica's most recently acquired companion. After discovering Edelgard's aversion to rat Pokemon, she quietly went out and captured a snake Pokemon to keep rat Pokmeon away from her.
