An Explorer Throws His Hat Into The Ring! Obviously Inspired By A Then-recent 3D-platformer Of A Certain

An explorer throws his hat into the ring! Obviously inspired by a then-recent 3D-platformer of a certain plumber... All it needs is the eyes.

Wow, what a lovely flower! Wonder who it could be for?

...Oh. Well, at least he tried. Can't fault other people's opinions, I guess. This is Ghostie's crush, Felicia, though she doesn't return his sentiments... mainly from him being the odd ghost out on Pequan Island.

"Hah! Would you look at that, a pitiful little robot. I bet we can take him easily!" "..." "...Why do I hear boss music?"

Here we have a time before I deemed Ica worthy of either a big ol' wrench or a hand-mounted blaster, where he was rather pitiful in battle. Luckily, being a robot means you can summon your more-powerful battle mech easily, with your would-be assailants none the wiser until it's too late.

An old drawing of the underrated jellyfish Pokemon, Frillish. Its shiny form in particular! Even made his pupils stars to reflect that.

Blaster cannon, full power...!

Biscu picked up the pace, feeling the ground beneath their hooves shift from sand, to dirt, to grass. Their meeting with Lotu was soon, to train their emotional powers... If they were to be the guardian of their desert home, they had to get a handle on them , and while their fellow deer-beast's powers didn't quite align, the principles were enough to apply Lotu's passion for foliage to his fervor for oasis.

Finally, some more new art! Here we have Biscu appearing once more, exploring the world and gaining more characterization as Lotu's student. As to why someone as young as them has to guard an entire desert? ...Perhaps the answer is the same as to why Lotu has a broken chain around their neck...
