@heropartnerweek Day 2 - Human AU

Went with Team New Star again, my original trio from my fanfic Severed Link. This also is not likely to be the canon design for Sorrel.

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 7 [Free Day | Previous Prompt]

I know this was later than usual (I was with family all day), but I still wanted to do something for the last day, which was to draw whatever I wanted.

So, here's yet some more art for my PMD fic Hunters of Ruination, featuring the main hero/partner duo of Mila and Jin, as well as the past heroes and their partners (Corazon and Vivian, Lior and Shion, Eirlys and Riffle, Kaito and Asha).

All in all, this was a pretty fun week for me, and I look forward to doing it again next year! Thanks to everyone for joining me along on this ride, and I'll catch you on the flip side!

Hero Partner Week 2024

I guess this Prompt made me change my mind about the post for today. When I saw that, I instantly decided to participate with my Explorers of Sky Duo, Gwladys and Tonbee, which is still my favourite game of the franchise to this day ! ♥ But since I coulnd't post them separately, I put them all in one post instead (if only I knew earlier... I'm so dumb...)

The original Prompt List of the Event held by @heropartnerweek

There are 3 different prompts for each day so you can choose what you prefer to do. I chose for each day :

First Meeting

Evolution

Morning/Night

Hidden Land (this one only changes depending of the game you chose)

Favorite Scene

Farewell

Previous Prompt

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Day 1 / May 19th : First Meeting

After leaving the entrance of the Guild without being able to enter out of fear (again), Tonbee decided to go to the beach to see the beautiful dusk and bubbles dancing at the sunset. He will there see an unconscious Pokémon near the ocean. Heavily worried, he goes to check on this little Pokémon that seems to be a female Eevee.

Day 2 / May 20st : Evolution

The Duo, who was at first unable to evolve, finally has the chance to see if they can reach a new form. They head to the Luminous Spring, with an immense hope in their chest. Surprisingly, Tonbee could reach a new stage of evolution. Gwladys witnessed the pretty impressive Evolution of her teammate Tonbee. She could barely recognize him, not because of his evolution, but rather how his personality, determination and bravery changed for the better (This scene takes place post-game).

Day 3 / May 21st : Morning / Night

The more they spend time with each other, the more the Duo realize how they complete each other : "Tonbee is the Morning Light that warms Gwladys' memory up", and "Gwladys is the Quiet Night that helped Tonbee reach his Dreams".

Day 4 / May 22nd : Hidden Land

Gwladys and Tonbee teamed up with Grovyle, Gwladys' Pokémon friend from the future who tried to stop Dusknoir and Primal Dialga from paralyzing the World. After retrieving all the Time Gears, they reach the Hidden Land with the help of Lapras, the only Pokémon that knew where it was and could reach it without any difficulties. When they finally set their feet on these lands, they knew they could not head back once their duty is fulfilled.

Day 5 / May 23rd : Favorite Scene

On their way to reach the Time Tower, the Duo remembers all the moments they spend together, good or bad. The best moment they had ever experienced was when they witnessed this mesmerizing scene at Fogbound Lake, one of the 3 lakes that had a Time Gear in it, and protected by Uxie. This moment will forever stay in their heart. ♥

Day 6 / May 24th : Farewell

She knew. Ever since they last faced Dusknoir and Grovyle sacrificed himself to bring Dusknoir back to the future, Gwladys knew that her fate was sealed. When they will bring the 5 Time Gears to the top of Time Tower, she knew she would disappear, as she is part of the future just like Grovyle, Dusknoir and Celebi. She was afraid, she didn't want to leave her friend Tonbee, but she had to. It was for the sake of the World. So when the time came, she told him everything that was on her mind. She told him that he changed her life for the better, and that she will never forget him, even if she disappears. Tonbee watched as tears were falling down his cheeks : he was grateful for everything, but he didn't wanted to say Goodbye, but had to...

Day 7 / May 25th : Previous Prompt : Crossover

They may be strong, determined, brave, but they can have some funny moments together too. After becoming a gracious Glaceon and an intimidating Luxray, Gwladys and Tonbee became one of the strongest Explorers team ever made. They share some moments together too, and one of them is cosplaying of some sorts. In here they are cosplaying as Grey Fullbuster and Laxus Dreyar from Fairy Tail, because they basically have the same power.

Thank you very much @heropartnerweek for creating this Pokémon Mystery Dungeons Prompt List. It was amazing participating in it, and I hope there is more of that to come ♥

Day 6 - Farewell

My contribution to Hero/Partner Week 2024! It's been 4 years since I last touched PMD music but I figured I should probably return to my roots at some point.

Not entirely happy with how this turned out, but maybe there's something poetic about leaving this story incomplete.

Regardless, hope y'all enjoy!

@heropartnerweek Day 7 - Free Day (Evolution)

After a whole lot of work our protagonists finally get some well earned R&R.

Seven days straight of art! Didn't think I could do it honestly, I haven't drawn this much since high school. I should draw more often though, this was a lot of fun! Maybe I'll actually post on this blog more than once a month now as well. If I somehow can't clear that low bar, I'll see you all for Hero/Partner Week 2024!

Hero and Partner Week Day 1-First Meeting!

I've always wanted to do something like this, so this year I'm actually doing @heropartnerweek 's Hero and Partner Week 2024!!

(I rushed a bit of the end of this one lol)

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 1 [Market | First Meeting | Shiny]

"...Huh? You say you're a human? But you look like a totally normal Eevee in every angle."

"(It...it's true! I have turned into an Eevee!)"

--

Well, I decided it was time I finally participated in this event.

For this one, I decided to choose Corazon (the human-turned Eevee) and Vivian (her Cubone partner) of Team Palette, from Rescue Team DX. Red Rescue Team, especially, has always had a special place in my heart, so it was fun to relive those memories in Rescue Team DX.

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 4 [Great Canyon | Hidden Land | Glacier Palace | Revelation Mountain]

I really liked the endgame for the Explorers games during the main story, as saddening as it was. Just the hero working together with their partners from the past and future to stop the collapse of Temporal Tower and stop the planet's paralysis from ever happening.

The Hidden Land, as a dungeon, is real hellish, but at least it's got some nice, peaceful music to listen to while you get your ass handed to you time and again. UvU

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 6 [Farewell | Return]

"Thank you for everything, Shion."

Of all the endings in the Mystery Dungeon games, I still think the one from the Explorers games hits the hardest. Time has been restored, Temporal Tower is spared from total collapse, and the planet's paralysis is no more...and yet, in doing so, it comes at a heavy cost: the life of the hero, who knows that their time in the Pokémon world is over. So, with their final breath as they are being erased from existence, the hero tearfully thanks the partner for everything they've been through, and tells them that they will always be with them.

The reason why Shion isn't wearing the Relic Fragment is because since the Relic Fragment was necessary to activate the Rainbow Stoneship, I didn't really see the need to have him wear it anymore.

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 5 [Favourite Scene | Betrayal | Dreams/Nightmares]

For the prompt of "Dreams/Nightmares", I decided to draw a future scene from my PMD fic Hunters of Ruination.

Jin's biggest dream is to one day become part of a hunter team, which are the teams in the Raidon Archipelago. To do so, he will have to enroll in one of four academies designed to train hunter teams. And he has his sights set on the grandest one of all: Greenleaf Academy, the same one that his parents attended! Mila, being fascinated by the prospect of the hunter teams, decides to be his partner when the time comes.

And yes, Jin is holding a very old Explorer Badge from the Explorers games. It was a birthday gift from his dad, and he keeps it as a reminder of his dream.

@heropartnerweek 2024 - Day 3 [Morning/Night | A Quiet Day | New Teammate]

One of my favourite features with Rescue Team DX was finding fainted Pokémon in dungeons, even if it was your first time going through said dungeon. This was especially helpful during my first run through Sinister Woods, where I managed to recruit a Farfetch'd and a Poochyena, both of whom were helpful during Team Palette's fight against Team Meanies.
