TRAINER

Name: Sabine “La Chercheuse” Trouver
Gender: Female
Age: 17
Height: 5' 3''
Personality: Sabine is energized and motivated when it comes to acts of scavenging and trying new things. Although she vents and yells in frustration whenever she is unable to accomplish a new task, she keeps coming back for more. She is very blunt with her words and actions. Although imaginative, she is not very artsy. Physical work is where she shines, and her brutish ways give her a rough and tough appearance. Her temper is short and her expectations are high (both of herself and her pokemon), but her energy makes her a blast to be around once you get to know her.

Brief History: Sabine was born and raised in Nreole and was the granddaughter of a rather successful witch doctor and medicine woman grandmother. Although her granny was a gifted woman, able to or cure or conjure up miracles for her customers, Sabine was born a magical dud. Her brews always produced useless piles of muck, no matter how many times she attempted to make them. In fact, the only part of brewing Sabine was good at was the gathering of the materials and ingredients. She could hunt critters, fish, and find herbs, spices, and other materials with ease, and she loved to go searching for them. For her, life was fun when it was a scavenger hunt. And so, she spent her time stocking up her grandmother’s inventories. She even made a job out of this ability, and rather strange passion, by doing the “shopping” for other medicine people, as well as chefs and even normal housefolk just looking for a few hard-to-find spices and materials.

POKEMON

Name: Randall
Species: Crobat
Gender: Male
Nature: Docile
Characteristic: Likes to Relax
Ability: Inner Focus
Moveset: Double Team, Air Slash, Confuse Ray, Giga Drain
Misc: Randall was captured on one of Sabine's first hunts and was her first pokemon. He was so puny that buyers wouldn't take him, so Sabine trained him as a fighter instead. He adores fruit and helps Sabine search the trees for fruits, flowers, nuts, the occasional ekans or seviper hatchling (their hides bring in some nice cash) and other ingredients. He is often dragged around more than he would like, but his passive nature prevents him for protesting.

Name: Elodie
Species: Croagunk
Gender: Female
Nature: Jolly
Characteristic: Likes to Run
Ability: Dry Skin
Moveset: Flatter, Brick Break, Posion Sting, Faint Attack
Misc: She and her siblings were breed by Sabine’s family over countless generations to contain the perfect, potent poison for the back-pain medicine Sabine’s grandmother brews up. Being young, she is quick and has an energy level that surpasses Sabine’s. She is a prankster in battle and loves to plant little kisses on and give winks to her male components while sparring. She only does this to annoy them, as she still thinks boys are icky. She is an adept swimmer as well as a runner, but her boundless energy makes her rather unfocused in battle or during scavenger hunts.

Name: Troy
Species: Escavalier
Gender: Male
Nature: Brave
Characteristic: Strong Willed
Ability: Shell Armor
Moveset: Poison Jab, Megahorn, Iron Defense, Swords Dance
Misc: He is Sabine’s main mode of air transport and she often goes out with him to hunt fish. They await, floating over the water’s surface until an unsuspecting fish (normally a remoraid or qwilfish, which are both good eatin’) nears the surface and is staked by his two arms or Sabine’s fishing spear. Technically, he belongs to Sabine's father.

Thanks! I love making wacky expressions.
The cross hatching was actually done traditionally. I found a nice tutorial that taught me how to color in scanned lineart on the magical website of Youtube.

Awesome job on your pokemon! It really shows that you put a lot of thought into their moves. It's good to see an escavalier that knows megahorn and swords dance. They can be such beasts with that combo! The style that the pokemon are in looks different and great, too. The way you did the poison dripping off of Troy for poison jab looks awesome. I love the cross hatching and shading. Her personality fits her character so well, and I love her spear! It's neat how you gave her such a meaningful reason for her to hunt.

Comments like yours motivate me to keep creating, so thank you.
I really wanted to give my pokemon moves that aided one another rather than just pile on a bunch of attacks. I can see you did the same for Issac and Stanley, and wisely used Ellie as the team's hard-hitter in contrast. I also love Aveline's seviper tail blade.
I hope we can meet in battle, or fight as a team in the future!

No problem c:

Yeah, a lot of the contestants for Sixfold have teams that have just a bunch of random attacks, even to the point where the pokemon doesn't know any stab moves at all. Thanks, I wanted to focus on teamwork, too. Heracross can be great sweepers. Hopefully I'll be able to add some more strategic pokemon once we're able to add more pokemon to our teams. Agreed, it would be awesome for our trainers to be able to team up!
