Code:
The object appearing on screen is called here.

Problem description:
runtime error: Cannot read /mob/Squirtle (/mob/Squirtle ).enemies
proc name: Engage (/mob/proc/Engage)
usr: Choka (/mob)
src: Choka (/mob)
call stack:
Choka (/mob): Engage(Proffessor Blitz (/mob/Rowen))
Choka (/mob): Test(Proffessor Blitz (/mob/Rowen))

It says that the mob's Pokemon overlays are unreadable. Why?

It seems to be trying to read a list of a type, not a mob, and obviously crashing. Make sure the argument you're passing to Engage is a mob and not a type.

So how am supposed I to make it use a mob instead of a type?

Wait how am I make the mob a type?

EDIT: Okay It isn't being called as a type any longer but the icon doesn't show up.

mob/proc
    Engage(mob/M)
        for(var/obj/O in M.enemies)
            O = new()
            O.screen_loc = "7,5"
            src.owner.client.screen += O
        for(var/obj/Oo in src.allies)
            Oo = new()
            Oo.screen_loc = "1,2"
            src.owner.client.screen += Oo
