#gym leader natsume

[xdraonarts]

Decided to tackle making an outfit for Sabrina/Natsume. Originally was intending to design her for my recent star guardian au (in my deranged brain dimension that loves crossovers, She and Jhin League of Legends are cousins) that's been cropping up on the blog, but I'm not entirely sure if she feels too special for a 'magical girl family member' role? If I do decide to try another tackle to try fitting her into the role better I could make this a outfit for a more pokemon-centered au

I feel like Sabrina would totally be into voidpunk. I mean, I already headcanon her as aroace and agender (and maybe some flavor of neurodivergent? the childhood prodigy cliche is literally right there waiting to be turned into character development---). I think that alongside her psychic powers and her status as a gym leader, it sets her apart from everyone else just enough to be a bit isolating. Maybe people don't see her as "nonhuman" exactly, but she's definitely viewed as "other." Powerful enough to be respected, but off-putting enough to keep at an arm's distance. Finding the voidpunk community would let her know she's not alone in these in her isolation and I can definitely see her embracing the culture wholeheartedly. Like "Yes, I'm otherworldly and unerving. I'm also extremely powerful and could wipe out your entire pokemon team with ease. What of it?"

First of my Indigo League serie done ! ( it was a Kanto gym leader serie but I think I'll add Lance and Agatha in the mix 'cause I love these two) The colors are based on their old designs.

Saffron City

Natsume/Sabrina/Morgane aka one of the most memorable and popular of all generations.

blog information

|| CHARACTER + RULES ||

Public Knowledge

Natsume or Sabrina is the Psychic Gym Leader of Saffron City, and the sixth leader in the circuit.

She is considered the de facto "Master" of Psychic Pokémon. This is a completely accurate title.

Her psychic ability is lauded as much as it is feared. She leans into this fear more than the accolades, designing her public persona as a goth icon as well as an extremely talented magician.

Sabrina forcibly took the Gym in Saffron City, seemingly with League support, from Battlemaster Kiyo.

Her gym is a hub for psykers interested in developing their psychic powers. It is often open to the public as a "dojo" of sorts for even very young espers. The pedagogy is mastery of mind and body, as to not seperate the two.

She was born with her psychic abilities.

For a while, she was split into two bodies, her favorite doll, and her own human body, although she was disconnected from both.

Her Haunter possesses her hair.

She is a famous actress from the extremely popular Pokestars Studio series "The Magical Kingdom's Mysterious Door", starring as Magic Queen Jujube / Queen Bellelba.

She is a renowned director, producing exceptional and effective horror movies that have accrued a cult-like status. Her most famous film is Geist, a psychological horror/thriller.

She participated in the first Pokémon World Tournament, pulling a publicity stunt by registering and competing alongside a Mewtwo.

She participated in the Pasio Project with Alakazam, and later, Chimecho.

Sabrina was the PWT II Coordinator and absolute ruler of the event, though she only competed personally in exhibition matches.

Sabrina designed the PWT II Stadiums personally.

She became Silph Co's CEO after the rest of the Silph board was... relieved of duty.

Private Knowledge

Sabrina is an ex Rocket Commander, with a specialty in finding and manipulating powerful Pokémon.

She left Rocket violently after the Black Fog Incident.

The Black Fog incident was the catalyst for her personality severance. Her original, childhood Pokémon were killed by its first release.

Her Haunter is the ghost of her original Pikachu, which was separated from her in Lavender Town.

Black Fog came back for her and successfully ripped her soul out of her body while she was at odds with the organization.

The original Team Rocket were the ones to route Black Fog the first time, and force it to retreat.

Giovanni was the reason she survived at all.

Giovanni advised the League not to interfere after Sabrina's hostile takeover of Saffron City's fighting gym.

Her personality severance was solved by Satoshi, who returned her Pikachu's ghost to her.

She killed her parents in an accident, turning them into psychic ghosts that haunt Saffron.

Sabrina has been incorporating herself powerfully into the running and operations of Saffron City. Whatever it takes to make HER city more powerful. This includes installing Metagross as well as Beldum units into the automatic parts of the city.

Sabrina's an underground racer and drifter. She hosts battles on cars going 300+ mph regularly, and has three extremely specialized cars for this purpose.

She extorted the PWT II and stole insane amounts of money from the Silph Corporation, and the League.

Asexual.

Queer.

I have like. a bunch more Enstars AUs besides Unit Swap (possibly changing the name to Ensemble Swap/Enswap) but they're not nearly as fleshed out . Uh. Here's a list of them lmao, I have some art for the ones with a * next to the name. Lmk if you wanna see the art

(under cut, not in order of creation)

Split Alkurei > Alk & Crazy:B don't exist. All the members are part of other units (predecessor to unit swap and is like a mix of canon and enswap)

Pokemon Gym Leaders > Units are pokemon gyms. Unit leaders are gym leaders. Also the Eccentrics are like a Elite Four Five of sorts That's it

* Phantom Trainer Mayoi (General Pokemon AU) + Tatsumayo > Mayoi but what if he was like Allister from Pokemon Shield basically. He has an emotional support Driftloon

* Enstone (Enstars x Dr Stone) > Senku -> Natsume > Gen -> Wataru > and more, I don't remember the rest off the top of my head

* Birbs (Bird hybirds AU) > Mostly just made this because... I like drawing bird people lol . It's enstars but they're bird hybirds. I'm working on some sort of story for this but I'm not really sure what I'm doing help

AU ideas that never really . had anything done with them

Enstars x Animorphs > This would be a thing if I could remember that I can borrow this damned book series' audiobook and listen to it lmao. Natsume gets stuck as a hawk

Vampire!Niki + Nikimayo > cannibalism but what if not really . i guess

Evil Sora AU > I don't know. I did it once for a dumb voice acting hehehgh and the idea has just been there since. Also vaguely relates to the timeline from a server's enstars rp campaigns

Cryptid!Wataru > I don't even remember making this but the idea is in my idea vomit channel on discord so I guess it was a thing in my head ta some point

Tojo Detective Twins > It was originally an idea for an OC based off of the whole "left brain right brain" thing but I had too much Enstars brainrot to keep it just enstars

[hexmaniac-horah]

Yeah they do. Never made it in with the gym people directly but one of my classmates trains there.

I can't believe I missed that by like five minutes.

You got Leader Natsume's CC? Maybe we could set something up about it for Saffhorror?

@hexmaniac-horah

Did you hear about the one club around the gym?

I DID

i told you not to go there dude its full of insane people. glad you were okay though. it got ransacked but nothing got stolen i think, which is weird.

sabrina's folks frequent that place, right? makes me wonder if something else is going on around there

[animated-character-of-the-day]

Today’s character of the day is: Gym Leader Sabrina aka Natsume from Pokemon

[invisiblemelonmoose]

Unpopular Opinion

Canon KuuDERE (emphasis on her canon dere personality) Game!Sabrina is superior to all other iterations of her character. Fight me.

Electric Tale and Zensho are a close second because of how incredibly dere they are.

Pokespe Sabrina can suck it

[chthonianblast]

focus your mind

Someone Submitted Sabrina, and the Draft Disappeared!

I started responding to a submission for the pinned post, got about halfway through responding, took a break, and when I returned to finish it off, it was gone! 

I really thought I saved it but it is nowhere in my drafts. I don’t even remember who submitted it, so I can’t tag them. 

However, since I remember most of what I wrote, I can still respond, but I cannot tag or thank the person who submitted it since I do not recall their username. I’m sorry:(

I’ll redo it and post it later today.

First Videogame Crush, who was yours?

What a cute Satoshi doll... wait a minute, that’s not a doll!

Next in the set of Valentine’s Day Rebuild of Pocket Monsters: The Animation artwork is of my favorite kuudere/dandere Gym Leader, Natsume. It’s always a pleasure to draw her being oddly cute. VDay needs more dark humor, and Ghost there agrees with me! Gen II ladies are up next! Let’s see who bought Kenta’s plushies. :P
