Sol dressed as a Pokemon Ranger, in red jacket, black slacks and shirt crouched next to her very large Arcanine. She is holding coiled up rope in her right gloved and and a Nest ball in her left. Her Arcanine is looking sideways at her, expectant for orders and blowing a couple small plumes of fire from her mouth.

Nyx dressed as a Pokemon Trainer, clad in black turtle neck, red jacket, jeans, and red high heeled boots. She is posing with her arms spread wide in a dominant pose. Behind her is her large and powerful shiny Luxray who is in mid trot and is looking directly at the viewer as she sets off three small bolts of lightning.

A chibi drawing of Sol and Nyx facing each other holding hands in a romantic scenario while their two pokemon (arcanine and luxray) trot in a circle around them, smiling almost conspiratorialy.

a chibi drawing of Nyx standing among her pokemon, a shiny yellow luxray who stands at attention, a shiny green espeon who crouches cautiously in the back, and a mismagius who isn’t shiny and just floats just a little bit above them all. Sol is pointing off to the right where all her pokemon are looking, as if at an opponent.

a chibi drawing of Nyx hugging her espeon while her mismagius rests her head on top of Nyx’s. They all have their eyes closed and seem to be relaxed and happy.

a chibi drawing of Sol hugging her dragonite while her arcanine leans playfully against her. Virizion (who has a cross shaped scar on her neck where one of her leaves should be and is slightly obscured in the background by the other two larger pokemon) watches with a small smile on her face.

Hey hey hey! Welcome back to another batch of weekend sketches.

Just like my last post these don't really count as sketches exactly, they're a bit too cleaned up for that. Many months ago I was on a bit of Pokémon kick, and I got to imagining what kind of Pokémon (and jobs) my two demon hunting lesbians would have if they lived in the world of mons.

Sol would pretty much have the same job she has in Earthshine, which is Ranger. She's especially well equipped to travel the most dangerous terrains because of her super powered team, consisting of: an Arcanine (her starter), a Dragonite, and a legendary Virizion that she keeps secret. Her Pokémon aren't really suited to battling, though they are strong enough to win in most fights, and Sol prefers to find peaceful solutions to most altercations.

Nyx is a Pokémon trainer, a junior researcher, and a MENACE. Her team is hyper specialized in battles and Nyx is very adept at it, practically dazzling her opponents with her skill. She has a shiny Luxray (her starter), a shiny Espeon, and a Mismagius. She could also qualify as a psychic trainer, and is a little bit telekinetic. Her main area of research is the power limits of Pokémon, and has been hunting for Legendaries to see how powerful a Pokémon can get. This eventually leads to her getting trapped in a very dangerous mountain range that Sol has been patrolling for the season. Things go about as expected.

This AU has been fun to think about since both Sol and Nyx are happier people in this one, and Nyx's intense self-confidence and pure uncut gremlin energy isn't dampened by a life of trauma and guilt.

Gosh I LOVE these so so much! Your colours are always absolutely gorgeous in your work, but I have to say that I really like the backstories you gave each of them in this AU! They're so cute ;;A;; I can really see them living in a Pokemon AU hehe! Sometimes its just really nice to imagine your OCs in much more relaxed scenarios to cut them a bit of slack from their original stories.
