Alice's team is as it was in her boss fight in Randomized HeartGold; her canon point is after Chatty Crystal and Randomized Chatty Crystal, but her team's been restored to normal. Though she has gone to the Move Reminder to finally give Flamesplash her signature move back, that's the only thing.
Why are her team's composition, appearance, and movesets so weird? OOCly, she's from a randomized playthrough; ICly, the Randomizer was a device built to change the past and fundamentally alter the world, creating the splinter timeline she came from. As for appearance, that's also not taken from the romhacks themselves but from the fan-created lore. TPP lore gets weird.
Marc (Mew, lv. 88)
Magnet Pull
Surf, Body Slam, Rollout, Follow Me
Wears an army cap, but otherwise looks pretty normal.
Tends to waste turns using Follow Me in single battles only to actually start taking things seriously once the opponent is thrown off. With this and having Magnet Pull (not exactly an advantage for a Psychic-type), Marc isn't as much of a threat as they look, but they still do a good deal of damage whenever Alice has been a boss fight in later runs. Marc seems to truly believe in giving everyone a fair chance. They were traded to her for a Nidoran at level 12, and she's taken care of them ever since.
Shellock (Blastoise, male, lv. 84)
Vital Spirit
Thrash, Cut, Octazooka (somehow), Surf
Regularly wears a cap and carries a magnifying glass. Water guns coming out of his shell are longer than the usual to account for his knowing Octazooka.
No, you poor naive souls, Shellock was not Alice's starter (that was a Machop named Hijinks who hated to fight and lazed around all day until she decided to let him off the hook), but they're all used to the confusion. He's a self-proclaimed detective who inspects everything he sees, which helps with Alice's study. He sure seems to know his way around Mystery Dungeons.
Hyperbug (Masquerain, male, lv. 82)
Insomnia
Fly, Hyper Beam, Leech Life, Aerial Ace
Has laser cannon arms.
The first Pokémon Alice ever caught. Hyperbug is always loyal to Alice and whoever is leading her team at the time (currently DJ), and he's confident in his abilities -- maybe overconfident from the days when he had Volt Absorb before evolving. Friendly despite that, and gets along well with his team; he had Frustration once and it barely did any damage at all.
DJ (Slaking, male, lv. 84)
Minus
Strength, Tri Attack, Return, Fly
Wears a winter hat and has a jetpack. That appears to be part of his body. Randomizers are weird.
The ace of Alice's team for a few reasons. One, while he doesn't have a good ability, he's OP simply for having literally anything not Truant. Two, with how much he cares about his trainer, his team, and their cause, Return absolutely wrecked their way to endgame -- there's a reason Alice only took eight tries to beat the Elite Four in a time when the Voices still numbered in the tens of thousands and the previous game had taken over 100. He's a kind, strong leader... and also literally a DJ in his spare time.
Flamesplash (Sandslash, female, lv. 80)
Flame Body
Strength, Take Down, Metal Claw, Flamethrower
Spines are made of fire.
After being rescued from a Magikarp salesman (who didn't seem to have realized that all his Magikarp had been randomized into Sandshrew), Flamesplash joined Alice's team and was its ace for a while until a point where she forgot her best moves for weak ones; while she's better now, she's still no DJ or Shellock. She used to fight with a bone she found in the garbage.
Altareon (Altaria, female, Lv. 84)
Trace
Return, Drill Peck, Cut, Fly
Looks perfectly normal, but tends to stay low to the ground and loaf.
As her name and body language might suggest, Altareon was raised by Eevee and used to think she was one. Even with her underwhelming moveset, she's had some moments where Alice managed to pull through with her intellect, like baiting Destiny Bond with a Cut in the Lorelei fight. Altareon is friendly, fluffy, and extremely cute, even if she doesn't fit in with other birds.
CAPTURES IN-GAME
Fate (Dolliv, female, Lv. 7 at capture, Lv. 30 currently)
Early Bird
Tackle, Sweet Scent, Absorb, Growth
Perfectly normal.
Fate (f8weh) is nervous and curious, having drifted during an event, and Alice was convinced to take her on. She doesn't keep her in her team, but takes her out of the box (having been convinced that the PC is safe here, at least for now) to come explore Ultern safely.
Peeps (Combusken, male, Lv. 5 at capture, Lv. 20 currently)
Blaze
Detect, Flamethrower, Aerial Ace, Double Kick
Looks very standard, small and very fluffy.
Conflicted by Camila's memories, Alice almost didn't catch him during the "starters for everyone" event, but he was very friendly and stubbornly followed her all the way into town from the graveyard until she finally relented. She didn't want to name him after Zexy, so she let Red (G1) name him.
