Name:  Touya (トウヤ) Pokemon in Hand:  Daikenki (evolved from Futachimaru)

Touya is a young trainer in the Isshu region.  He started his journey with a Mijumaru he got from Araragi-Hakase and has been fighting to make it stronger ever since.  After watching a speech given by the Plasma-Dan, he meets N and is told that his pokemon really likes him.  Touya helps save a little girl's Chillarmy after it's kidnapped by the Plasma-Dan and helps save the Sekka City Gym from a separate attack. He eventually realizes that N is a member of the Plasma-Dan and follows him to the Dragon Spiral Tower to stop him.  At the end of the story, Touya is told that if he wants to have a chance of stopping N, he'll have to find the legendary pokemon Reshiram and become a "hero."

Name:  N (N) Pokemon in Hand:  Zekrom

N is a mysterious man who first approaches Touya after the Plasma-Dan addresses some townspeople in the Isshu region.  He has the ability to "hear" a pokemon's voice and uses this power to determine that Touya is an exceptional trainer.  During his run-ins with Touya, N takes special interest in the young trainer's progress. N is secretly a member of the Plasma-Dan.  His dream is to become the hero of the Isshu region by gaining control of Zekrom and using its power to create a world where only pokemon live.  He is last seen riding on the back of Zekrom as it flies toward the Pokemon League.

Name:  G'cis (ゲーチス) Pokemon in Hand:  N/A
G'cis is the leader of the Plasma-Dan.  He addresses the people of what is assumed to be Karakusa Town to tell them their goal of "liberating" pokemon.  He believes that humans are merely using pokemon as tools and that the only responsible thing for them to do is to release their pokemon to them. G'cis is later seen entering the Dragon Spiral Tower with a couple of Plasma-Dan grunts.

Name:  Cheren (チェレン) Pokemon in Hand:  Janovy

Cheren is Touya's friend who presumably started his journey on the same day he did.  His starter pokemon was Tsutarja.  After watching G'cis' speech, he becomes suspicious of the group's true intentions and leaves to find out what they're really after.  He tracks them down to Sekka City and uses his Live Caster to ask Touya and Bel to help him protect the gym from the Plasma-Dan. Inside the Dragon Spiral Tower, Cheren, along with Bel and Hachiku, stay behind to keep a couple of Plasma-Dan grunts busy.

Name:  Bel (ベル) Pokemon in Hand:  Charbu

Bel is Touya's friend who presumably started her journey on the same day he did.  Her starter pokemon was a Pokabu.  She's terrified of the idea that the Plasma-Dan want to separate her from her Charbu and decides to join Touya and Cheren in their battle against the group.  She stays with the little girl whose Chillarmy was kidnapped by the Plasma-Dan and tries to comfort her while Touya attempts to retrieve her pokemon. Inside the Dragon Spiral Tower, Bel, along with Cheren and Hachiku, stay behind to keep a couple of Plasma-Dan grunts busy.

Name:  Hachiku (ハチク) Pokemon in Hand:  Tsunbear, Freezio

Hachiku is the Gym Leader of the Sekka City Pokemon Gym.  He specializes in ice-type pokemon.  The Plasma-Dan go to his gym and attempt to take it over, but the grunts are soon taken care of by Touya's Daikenki.  Later, he tells Touya and his friends about the legendary pokemon Zekrom. Inside the Dragon Spiral Tower, Hachiku, along with Cheren and Bel, stay behind to keep a couple of Plasma-Dan grunts busy.

Name:  The Plasma-Dan (プラズマ団) Pokemon in Hand:  Koromori (x2), Meeruhog, Zurug, Waruvial, Leopardas, Chillarmy (stolen)
The Plasma-Dan is a group of people who steal people's pokemon, justifying it by claiming that their actions are "liberating" creatures who are only being used as tools.  They steal a little girl's Chillarmy and, later, attempt to take over the Sekka City Pokemon Gym.
