Kingston's relationship with Than is a bit hard to summarize bc it also extends to his ancestors and the previous wielders ;;o;;

Essentially Than's backstory is that it made a promise to Tsurugi to be the protector of the Crossbell family. It has been passed down through the family for generations, requiring a sacrifice to sustain its life. Its been so long that Than kind of has some memory erosion and doesn't remember details too well. Over time the Crossbell family head started seeing Than as a status symbol (Esp Kingston's Grandfather, who didn't want to use Than at all since he wanted to preserve his lifespan for as long as possible.)

Kingston was trained to inherit Than so he could be the successor, but when Kingston turned 12 he ran away from home to go on a pokemon journey against his family's approval... and brought Than on a joyride.

That journey meant a lot to Than because it finally felt like it was doing something other than collecting dust, since it got to mentor Kingston and look after him. In turn Kingston would try to teach Than about the modern world and let Than experience things that it otherwise couldn't (like letting Than possess him so it can taste various foods) and for the first time in a long while Than felt like he was in the hands of someone who saw him as a partner rather than a weapon and was reminded of his original partner, Tsurugi. Even though Than lost its memories of Tsurugi a long time ago, it never stopped longing to be with its original owner and Kingston was the closest thing it has to that.

Veeeeery loving and brotherly~

Molesurya the Volcarona and Elio are closer than brothers, and Elio's always seen with him on his team. The two were practically raised by Adiunna - Molesurya's mother before her untimely death that utterly destroyed both of them emotionally, especially Elio since Adiunna was the only maternal figure he's ever known in his life. It was one of the biggest hurdles in both their lifetimes, which led to the two becoming closer than ever after conquering it.

He and Elio's Marshadow are the constants on Elio's ever-changing roster.

Norra is very much the big sister to Chipper and Bailey. Over the course of their adventures, Chipper was and is very much the curious one, while Bailey is more of the little sister that helps get them out of trouble when things get rough.

Jin treats all of her mon like family but that is the most true for her Urshifu, Jun, she doesn’t call him “Little Brother” for nothing.
For Mary her Spiritomb, Cheshire takes on the role of guardian AND dear friend.

Joltenne met Haikili when she was very young, having fled her house for a bit and got lost. That's when she found a Pichu emerging from the rustling grass and offered him a cookie. Haikili ended up following her home and eventually she adopted him. The two have grown together, experienced gains and losses, and have gotten through thick and thing, making them almost inseparable.

Estella: She and her Cinderace (Nike) are practically the same person so all of their chaotic traits just get doubled up lol

Lionel: Minoforge, his starter (Carst fire-type starter) is likewise a quiet yet awkward big fella who likes to work on his craft in peace. They get along well without needing to exchange a lot of words.

Lex: He and his Raedran (Carst pseudo-legend) are both flashy, cocky shits that hype each other up. When they work together Lex never breaks his established character.

ooh good question!! for ophelia, she and lurantis are more like best friends, rather than teammate and trainer! to keep lurantis' colors vibrant and healthy, ophelia takes lurantis along with her (almost) wherever she goes so lurantis can soak up the warm alolan sun. penelope is similar, but she holds a great amount of respect for lunatone and usually keeps it in its ball during the day. penelope almost treats lunatone like an elder, teaching lunatone and listening when it tries to communicate with her.

Odd and Mauve have quite a bit of history between them.

Having known each other since Odd was a child, they've both seen and been through a lot together, both good and bad. They fight and snark with one another at times (Mauve is determined to get Odd to address some of his lingering trauma and stop ignoring it), but they're still each other's best friends and couldn't imagine their current lives without each other.
