I think I'm on my way out of the Genshin hyperfixation... But before I go... Looks like that ⬅️ was a lie. Shameless insert of my recent Wriothesley one-shot

Kaveh with a Pokémon team

I focused on Ground type Pokémon because I vaguely remember this comment on either HoyoLab or TikTok mention that "Kaveh could have been a Geo type character." It was in a comment section about WHY people get a Vision and their meanings behind the element. The comment section pointed out that Kaveh could have had a Geo Vision because of his dedication and hard work in fullfilling his ideals, whereas Dendro is for those who perpetually pursue knowledge and understanding of the world around them. But Celestia said, "Dendro for this sad bitch."/j

In terms of Pokémon, I thought, "Why not both?¿" But with a focus on Ground type to emphasize his occupation as an architect. So, I gave him

Rhydon, a drill Pokémon that also is sturdy enough to carry materials around. Excadrill was supposed to be included, but Kaveh's funds didn't have room for another Pokémon. 😔 Rhydon took up most of the Mora. (Mora in the Trainer Card is 3 USD roughly converted into CHN yuan.)

Torterra and Meganium lean into the gardening aspect of Kaveh's work. Meganium's Pokédex entry says it can bring plant back to life by just breathing on it. Although Kaveh is a famous architect, he does know how to ask for help im areas he is less knowledgeable in, as mentioned in Al Haitham's voice-over for Tighnari. Wherein, it was mentioned Kaveh asked Tighnari for help on choosing the flowers he should add to the garden of Palace of Alcazarzaray.

And Claydol kind of because it reminded me of Mehrak. You know that machine Kaveh built that everyone seems to forget about... She's always included in his attack animations. It's a dual Ground/Psychic type, which could also help Kaveh in his work. The way Mehrak does, but Claydol could also use its psychic abilities to protect Kaveh's work-in-progress buildings from the elements.

Ngl, I feel like adding a Fairy type would play right into the ✨️gay✨️. But, of course, there's more to Kaveh than his relationship to Al Haitham, so I decided against it.

And why did no one, when I posted the draft to my Insta story, tell me my dumb of ass misspelled "Started" and put "Startered?¿" 😭

I'm friendly. Sometimes.

I was challenged to make a Pokémon trainer card by my brother! We used to have tons of the tiny figurines in biscuit jars. Making this was fun although I’m pretty sure this team is unplayable. Still, I had fun researching and learning more! This self insert illustration has become one of my favorites to use.

GUYS LOOK WHO I PULLED TODAY 💪💪💪💪💪

I got his sister in the same pack too

It's sad that you can't see the texture of Kieran's on camera because the card is gorgeous irl. His eyes are shiny and they glow when light hits the card too :)

So it turns out when you put both sets of sygna suit twins plus an extra emmet you had lying around on a team together you can kind of brute force your way past a lot of event challenges without putting forth much brain power. Go figure! ✨

I still have no chance at the Extreme Battle Pasio Subway though, that requires stats and skill I simply do not have, even if I have both twins 😔

Hello everyone. I am not just making fan arts with Pokemon and drawing Pokemon original characters, I am also collecting Pokemon cards . So I decided to make a card with original design by myself. So here it is 🥰

[laxmon]

A set of Pokémon cards that feature Arven and Mabosstiff from the Scarlet & Violet and Paldean Fates expansions from the Pokémon Trading Card Game, illustrated by OKACHEKE, kantaro, aspara, respectively. All these cards feature the trainer hosting a picnic and making a sandwich, with his partner Pokémon beneath the table.

I made a few of these, but these will be the last ones before I stop. I had essays planned out for each character and their Pokémon, but I was too lazy to finish them.

Al Haitham the Normal Pokémon gym leader that the town begged to take the position because they wanted to put their dying/fading town on the map. I cannot see that going any other way, because of how lazy he really is. He wouldn’t actively choose to take the title. And people just ignore that in favor of mischaracterizations.

The Eevee is there simply for company. It doesn’t fight nor is it aggressive, but Al Haitham has trained it to fetch his things (small stuff like shoes, headphones, housekeys, and journals). If Eevee is asleep on his stomach, Al Haitham refuses to move. You’re not getting your gym challenge until that Eevee wakes up; and if you forcibly make Eevee wake up, gym leader Al Haitham will just disappear. If you want that badge, you need to respect his (Eevee’s) nap time.

Sawsbuck – I mainly thought of convenience to Al Haitham when choosing Sawsbuck because it changes form depending on the season. It helps him keep track of the time that passes. And since he lives in the forest region of Sumeru, he wouldn’t have a problem with caring for Sawsbuck’s dietary needs or deal with its heat rash (I imagine Sawsbuck to have very sensitive skin.), unless he actively brought it out to the desert.

Delcatty – I was tempted to give Al Haitham a team full of cats. Will they do as he says? Maybe. Will he take care of them and buy them all the expensive cat treats and get them the best veterinary care? Absolutely. Very “childless adult” coded. It’s Pokédex entries state it like to “live an unfettered existence” and “habitually seeks comfortable spots and sleeps there.” So… Al Haitham? Al Haitham. He cannot be bothered to do things unless necessary or to get someone to stop bothering him. Also uses Eevee and Delcatty as pillows when napping outside of his house.

Braviary – Al Haitham’s name in Hebrew literally just means “the young hawk” or “the young eagle.” As much as I’m pushing “Al Haitham is a lazy fucker,” he is willing to put in effort for the people that he cares about. I have not met or heard of a single person, in this case Al Haitham, who would buy 10 cases of wine for another, Kaveh, as an apology in a domestic/verbal dispute. I don’t think Al Haitham would willingly fight someone for his friends, but he’d at least verbally defend them; violence as a last resort because it’s too much effort kind of thing.

One of Braviary’s Pokédex entries, “It's thought that people disturbed their habitats in the past, so Braviary banded together to fight back.” If you disturb Al Haitham, he’s going to 100% snap back at you with his bluntness. It’s not that he’s being mean, other people are actively choosing ignorance; he’s not in your face about it as Dr. Ratio is though.

Blissey – I wanted him to have a tank, because that’s the pattern I see with most Normal type gyms. It’s Pokédex entries left much to be desired, but Blissey can make for a good Sp. Attack tank with a high HP. If I MUST used the Pokédex entries for my reasoning for Al Haitham’s team, I would use the entries from PKMN Brilliant Diamond and PKMN Violet respectively, “This kindhearted Pokémon nurses sick Pokémon to health. It senses feelings of sadness” and “The eggs it lays are filled with happiness. Eating even one bite will bring a smile to anyone.” Although Al Haitham genuinely wants to be left alone and left in peace, he’s not particularly arrogant or greedy. He genuinely wants people to be happy and live peacefully by improving themselves.

Silvally – The Pokémon I chose because of its adaptability. It can change type based on what memory it’s holding, and it’s a Pokémon that requires a high friendship level to evolve from Type: Null. While other trainers choose to be loving and sweet or bond with their Pokémon through the sheer excitement of battle, Silvally seems like a Pokémon that values its trainer’s intellect and bonds with them through observation of their character. Note that I have not seen this Pokémon through the anime or manga nor do I want to; if Silvally was portrayed in a different manner, I’m not going to bother any further.

Pokémon Up for Consideration:

Snorlax and/or Slaking – Both very lazy Pokemon. Very representative of Al Haitham’s laziness. But also, high maintenance for their food cost and overall size. At least the cat Pokemon are somewhat attentive and give back to Al Haitham when he gets them things. I can’t see Snorlax and Slaking doing anything Al Haitham says, which would be more of a pain to him that a few felines running around.

Pidgeot and/or Staraptor – I had to decide between the different bird Pokemon for Al Haitham’s constellation and just his namesake. Braviary fit the bill best.

Castform and/or Ditto – My only thought was “A shape-shifting Pokemon that makes it easy to adjust combat.” But Castform changes with the weather can easily be manipulated if the opponent uses Sunny Day, Sandstorm, Hailstorm, or Raindance. Just because Ditto changes form, that doesn’t guarantee it can beat the Pokémon it copied.

Miltank – I genuinely don’t remember this gym battle in the games, but supposedly other people had difficulties beating Whitney’s (アカネ/Akane) Miltank. So, I was considering this Pokémon as Al Haitham’s tank/defense Pokémon.

Porygon2 – No inherent reason. It just looks nerdy, like Al Haitham’s brain.

Beidou and Fighting type Pokémon

I took into consideration Water type Pokémon or Electric because Beidou’s a pirate with an Electro vision, but I didn’t think either type fit her overall. So, I decided on Fighting type. Beidou is the kind of person who would stabbb 🔪 as a warning.

(Mega Form) Lopunny – Beidou’s signature or star Pokémon. She thought it was a cutie when it was just a little Buneary, but the more Beidou carried her around the more they bonded and the stronger they became together.

Machamp – “It is impossible to defend against punches and chops doled out by its four arms. Its fighting spirit flares up when it faces a tough opponent.” (PKMN Emerald) Stronk boi, can help around the ship, but also be a good combatant on Beidou’s Pokémon team.

Mienshao – “It overwhelms its opponents with continuous attacks and then slowly stores up power before delivering the finishing blow.” (PKMN Ultra Sun) I think Beidou is very much the type of person not to judge someone for their appearance. “Tiny but mighty” always gets a laugh out of her

Poliwrath – Originally, I wanted to do water types because pirate on the high seas, duh. But it just wasn’t enough BEIDOU vibes. Someone confident fighter who doesn’t back down from defending someone she loves. “Poliwrath's highly developed, brawny muscles never grow fatigued, however much it exercises. It is so tirelessly strong, this Pokémon can swim back and forth across the ocean without effort.” (PKMN Ultra Sun/Moon)

Toxicroak – It was just the aesthetic and color combo. I thought Toxicroak would look good with Beidou.

Pokémon Up for Consideration:

Lucario – I was considering Lucario because it’s a staple for any Pokémon team. But I couldn’t particularly see why Beidou should have or why she would want Lucario on her team other than it looks cool.

Urshifu (Rapid Strike Style) – She may not always have her land legs, but you’re not trapped with a bear, a man, or a tiger. You’re trapped with Beidou. This woman took on a sea monster without a vision for several days and nights. I’m sure she can fight Urshifu just fine. But I just didn’t like the aesthetic or Pokémon entries for Beidou.

Wriothesley and Dark type Pokémon

As you can see, Sigewinne got to Wriothesley’s card.

Weavile – At this point, I just got really tired. So, most of my choices were just based on vibes and overall character personality.

Zigzagoon – The Tiny Racoon Pokémon is just there to be cute. Wriothesley yanked it out of the trash when it was a baby, didn’t see the mother or father around, and decided to keep it. The first day at home, in the Fortrss of Meropide, it bit his finger and wouldn’t let go. Ever since then, it has accompanied Wriothesley wherever he goes and hides in his coat. Zigzagoon even has his own playpen in Wriothesley’s office, kind of like an oversized hamster cage.

Pangoro – Wriothesley earned the respect of this Pokémon simply because he was furious and wanted to punch something. “From the slight twitches of its bamboo leaf, it deduces its opponent's movements. It's eager to tussle but kindhearted toward its companions.” (PKMN Moon) If you squint, Wriothesley does look like a panda, just need to make those greys and white pop out more.

Mabosstiff – “This Pokémon can store energy in its large dewlap. Mabosstiff unleashes this energy all at once to blow away enemies.” (PKMN Scarlet)

“Mabosstiff loves playing with children. Though usually gentle, it takes on an intimidating look when protecting its family.” (PKMN Violet)

Mightyena – In keeping a dog theme, I considered Mightyena.

Muk – “While it's unexpectedly quiet and friendly, if it's not fed any trash for a while, it will smash its Trainer's furnishings and eat up the fragments.” (PKMN Moon) In short, Wriothesy STANK. He says this in his voice line for Emilie the perfumer and forensics cleaner, “The Fortress of Meropide doesn't need her services. Yet some things are best preserved the way they are, warts and all, so people don't make the same mistakes twice... I say warts, but yeah. I mean the smell.”

Pokémon Up for Consideration:

Urshifu (Single Strike Style) – I thought it looked cool for Wriothesley, but it’s also another Pokémon he could fist fight when bored.

Absol – If feel like he, too, prefers preventative measures, if you remember The Wingalet from the Archon Quest that he had been building in the Fortress. The Disaster Pokémon seemed like a good fit.

Ayato and Steel type Pokémon

I feel like Ayato would end up being in the Elite Four or something out of nepotism, but he’s still actively a dangerous opponent.

Mawhile – His signature simply because he thinks it would be unexpected and funny.

Empoleon – Ayato and Empoleon have both carried me through their respective games. As my main in Genshin Impact, I felt like Ayato and Empoleon would be a good match. Not only is Empoleon just a regal figure of a Pokémon, but this Pokémon is a “Pillar of Fortitude” in its own right.

Bisharp, Aegislash, Cobalion

Pokémon Up for Consideration:

Steelix, Doublade, Kingambit
