"We were friends once. Even if you were annoying, cowardly, and selfish, it was nice having you as a neighbor and some one I could get into trouble with. I don't think you're as far gone as you seem, Pokey. Maybe we're here for a reason. Or maybe our fight is just beginning.. But I'll leave that up to you.."
Ness is Pokey's next door neighbor and best friend from back home. In a way, that's actually fairly loaded as Ness was Pokey's only friend back home. In many ways, Ness is what Pokey is not, and vice-versa: whereas Ness is kind, courageous, generous, free-spirited, and more like a child, Pokey is cruel, cowardly, selfish, and close-minded, although being more world weary. The two would ultimately come to a head when Pokey decided to join with a world ending creature named Giygas that had planned to ravage the two boys world. Ness and his friends would ultimately emerge victorious, and Pokey would retreat, proclaiming revenge on Ness.
Despite this, Pokey seems mainly to have wanted Ness' attention, which is what had led to Pokey's fare more insane actions during the conflict with Giygas. In Mayfield, the two boys have patched up their relationship, due to being united against a common foe.

"Maybe you don't. I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't care at all. But there has to be someone left that understands that this just isn't the right way to do things!"
Son of a famous inventor and technological prodigy in his own right, Jeff was a member of the Chosen Four who fought alongside Ness against Giygas and Pokey. While Pokey and Jeff had limited contact during the actual conflict with Giygas, Pokey quickly grew to resent Jeff for forming a stronger friendship with Ness in quite short order then Pokey had managed to do in years. Of the Chosen Four, Jeff is easily the one Pokey hates the most, primarily due to his jealousy of the other boy.
So far, they have limited contact in Mayfield as well, though it's been rather tenuous even with how little there has been. For his part, Pokey's been trying to avoid Jeff the best he can, and can only assume the other boy does the same.

"I don't want you dead. I want you alive. Alive and happy and with friends! Because, then . . . Then it doesn't have to be that way. It doesn't! You . . . You can change! I can change it . . . ! "
A curious boy and one of the first people Pokey spoke with upon arriving in Mayfield, Lucas hails from a future where most of the world was destroyed and the small remainder of mankind lived in a place known as the Nowhere Islands. Life would've been peaceful for Lucas and his family if it hadn't been for Pokey who, in the future, would proceed to decimate and conquer what remained of the Earth for his own amusement to cure the boredom he had due to his eternal life. Needless to say, Lucas wasn't happy for Pokey's arrival in Mayfield, though he'd never been fully hostile to this incarnation of Pokey.
On Pokey's part, Pokey first viewed Lucas with a mixture of curiosity and agitation, angered that the boy would hold something he hadn't yet done against him. As time has gone on and Pokey has learned at least something about empathy (as Lucas had hoped he would), Pokey's come to view Lucas primarily with a feeling of guilt due to what he's destined to do to him. For his part, Pokey's become determined to find a way to stop himself, not really for Lucas' sake as much as Pokey's own terror at the monster he's meant to become.
The two boys aren't on really on casual speaking terms with each other, though they occasionally talk when a situation might come up that forces it. It's unlikely this situation will change in the future.
