“The Caretakers” is the nickname traditionally given to the initial founders of the Custodian Guild and Glimmering Port as a whole, supposedly in honor of their dedication to serving and protecting the pokémon of the early Ash Continent. They were Charizard, Kangaskhan, Ampharos, Absol, and Lucario.
The true history of the Caretakers is heavily debated. Continental folklore places them at the center of seemingly impossible scenarios, and historians have been unable to come to a consensus on whether accounts of their unprecedented strength are accurate or whether the stories have been exaggerated and mis-attributed.
