lol part of his backstory when Victor was going through college he needed a last name (couldn't remember the one from his childhood) and Loke just told him that one. Yes it would be cut somewhat episodically (much like the Origins OVA and skips around in time here and there though not often).

I wouldn't say his team is rag-tag considering that he got Terror from his years studying fossil revival under Dr. Fuji (gasp!), Loke just showed up at the Saffron Gym because he was bored, Dominique was a gift from Misty's mother (who went off and died in the war) and Belle is...well more than meets the eye
