Huh? Your Chikorita is evolving! Straight up to a Meganium!??
Hey guys! Apologies for the recent inactivity, I’ve been working hard on getting my pokemon crossbreed zine ready for this year AX. It will include these, my chikorita and riolu crossbreeds and 7 more pokemon! It’s almost done and I will post more about it soon, so stay tuned!
Also last but not least:
Ever After High Pokemon Teams - Ashlynn Ella
Part 3 of my headcannons of "What if Ever After High characters had Pokemon Teams". Today we have...
Ashlynn Ella
Ever since she was little, Ashlynn Ella knew she wanted to be a Pokemon Ranger! She loves helping hurt Pokemon and making them feel better.
Not long after she started her journey, however, she ran into a very kind, handsome and helpful Pokemon Breeder who ended up falling in love with - much to the disagreement of her friends, who do not think that a Journey is a good time to start a relationship.
While Ashlynn does understand their points, she cannot help her heart. Plus, her Pokemon really seem to like him, so that is definitely something.
Trainer Class: Pokemon Ranger
Ashlynn's team mainly comprises of Pokemon that either can help heal other Pokemon or are Pokemon that have been hurt in the pass.
Tulip the Meganium
Moves:
Sweet Scent
Giga Drain
Body Slam
Leech Seed
Tulip was Ashlynn’s first Pokemon and main partner. They will often spend their days walking through the forest together. Tulip will use her signature breath to help revive dead plants and sick Grass Type Pokemon and her Sweet Scent to help calm down arguments.
When I started planning out Ashlynn’s team, the Chikorita line was an instant perfect starter match. Not only does Meganium’s breath revive dead plants, Ashlynn seems like the type to pick the Grass Starter!
Daisy the Blissey
Moves:
Soft-Boiled
Heal Pulse
Chilling Water
Echoed Voice
Ashlynn found Daisy wandering tired and alone in the forest after starting her journey. The sweet and kind-hearted Pokemon was using Soft-Boiled to heal injured Pokemon in the forest, leaving her with barely any HP for herself! After helping her heal, Daisy decided she wanted to join Ashlynn on her journey. She has since evolved into Blissey and is a vital part of Ashlynn’s team.
Chansey and Blissey were also really easy choices for Ashlynn’s team. I knew Ashlynn would want to heal other Pokemon she encountered on her journey. As for why Blissey instead of Chansey - there is no way that those two would not have a tight friendship bond!
Zinnia the Flechinder
Moves:
Flame Charge
Fly
Steel Wing
U-Turn
Ashlynn found Zinnia as a cute little Fletchling all hurt after being poisoned by a Beedrill and after a quick healing session and meal, Fletchling decided to join Ashlynn’s team! Zinnia would later evolve into a Fletchinder and her ability Flame Body has helped warm up freezing Pokemon and sooth sore muscles.
I wanted Ashlynn to have some kind of bird Pokemon because she is featured in her official artwork with a little bird on her finger, as well as the fact that in many versions of Cinderella, the princess is helped out by some kind of bird. I ended up settling on Fletchinder for her final team. I debated giving her a Talonflame, but I do not see Ashlynn being a huge battler.
Gladiolus the Indeedee
Moves:
Psychic
Healing Wish
Disarming Voice
Hyper Voice
Ashlynn encountered the Indeedee that would become known as Gladiolus when she was traveling through a dark and gloomy forest. Despite the scary atmosphere, Ashlynn’s emotions were positive and this ended up attracting Gladiolus to the Pokemon Ranger. He guided and protected the Pokemon Ranger as they navigated the dim forest and decided to continue traveling with Ashlynn. Gladiolus often helps his trainer with the day-to-day tasks of taking care of hurt Pokemon and everyday chores. However, Gladiolus has also shown interest in another Indeedee that happens to be the Pokemon of another trainer…
Like Blissey, Indeedee is another Pokemon typically used by the Nurse Joys and seemed like another obvious choice for Ashlynn’s team. Why I went with a male Indeedee rather than a female one? 2 reasons, 1) the Pokedex entries for Male Indeedee sound a lot like Cinderella and I thought that fit Ashlynn better and 2) I have Female Indeedee down for another specific trainer for later.
Calla Lily the Corsola
Moves:
Surf
Ancient Power
Life Dew
Earth Power
Ashlynn caught Calla Lily when she was helping Water Pokemon out when cleaning up a polluted sea. Ashlynn ended up having to catch Calla Lily to effectively treat her and Calla Lily ended up wanting to stay with her after having fully recovered. She helps Ashlynn with Water travel and rescues.
When I was looking for a Water Type Pokemon for Ashlynn I remembered that Corsola was constantly having trouble with water pollution and being hunted by Marearnie and I figured Corsola was a perfect fit for Ashlynn’s team. Also, one of Ashlynn’s main colors is coral, so it felt right.
Honeysuckle the Minccino
Moves:
Tail Slap
Sing
Bullet Seed
Triple Axel
Honeysuckle was found injured and alone and Ashlynn immediately took the little cutie into her care. Like most of her other Pokemon, Honeysuckle did not want to leave Ashlynn and joined her team. Honeysuckle will often help Ashlynn with Pokemon healing by cuddling and cleaning up.
The main reason I put Miniccino on the team was due to its connection to cleaning. But the other reason is how cute and helpful it is! That is also part of the reason I decided to not have Honeysuckle evolve, along with that being a decision that Ashlynn would leave to the Pokemon.
And there it is!! Ashlynn's Pokemon Team! I am planning on posting Hunter's team next, but feel free to comment and suggest other characters you would like to see!
More characters from @teshamerkel's PMD Seekers of Soul, taking advantage of that a new chapter just released!
(Also welcome to me kinda experimenting with colours and shadows for the first time in Magma)
Chikorita Line appreciation
As I promised in my previous post I will post another polls about the Starter Pokemons from each regions! The deadline is still the same, that is next week! I hope many of you guys also participate again in this! Thank you!

Fire Punch
“It’s not so simple, is it, Machop?”
Blaziken chuckled at my expense as I dusted myself off. She offered her hand, lifting me up to my feet. The ranch my trainer had left me to stay in was serene, grassy, and beautifully expansive; it perfectly juxtaposed the intense, suffocating emotion I felt rushing through me.
“I just don’t get it. I’m strong enough to do it!” I yelled.” I can lift boulders five times my size, I could throw them up a mountain! I’m not weak, so WHY can’t I do this?!”
The boulder I had been training with split, rent in half in the wake of my rage. I punched and hurled myself at it until all that was left of the boulder was a pile of pebbles, and a cloud of dust.
Blaziken placed her hand on my shoulder, her claws gripping so tight I didn’t dare move. “It’s not about power,” she said, tone firm, but comforting. “It’s about awakening something new from within: a fire. It is something that you must learn for yourself, but I cannot teach.”
I looked down, hoping the cloud of dust obstructed my tears; even so, my voice betrayed my defeat: “What if I can’t learn? What if I can’t be the partner my trainer deserves? She believes in me, what if I fail her?”
Blaziken’s hand tensed on my shoulder, growing hotter, almost painfully so. “You are already deserving of a good trainer. They will accept your partnership no matter what happens. If they can’t, then they don’t deserve you,” she rasped. “You are strong, and will only continue to grow. You may learn how to summon fire into your hands, or you may not. You are capable. You simply must continue to try. Do not let failure deter you, and do not let your fears stop you from becoming the best that you can be.”
She brought herself down to my level as I tried to compose myself-- and she wiped away my tears, and encompassed me a hug.
I returned it with everything I had.
..............................................................................................................................
The first thing I hear is an uproar of cheering as I’m summoned into battle. I crack my neck, roll my shoulders-- and flex my arms. I look behind me, to my trainer, Nora, and give her a nod and a smile, which she returns-- and to my left, at Meganium. She takes a fighting stance, her petals fluttering in the wind.
“Machamp and Meganium!” a voice announced, somewhere overhead. “My, what an interesting combo. Let’s see what the red corner’s last two Pokemon are!”
In the distance, I see a trainer, small and scrawny, almost sickly looking, hold up two pokeballs with trembling fingers. At once, red light shoots from them, and two figures emerge: a Pokemon in what appeared to be a red dress and yellow hair, and a tall Pokemon, with a coat of red and yellow fur.
“Surely, it couldn’t be…” I muse. “...Blaziken?”
“Ah, there they are! Verity’s last two Pokemon, Jynx, and her ace, Blaziken!” the announcer booms. The crowd goes wild, screaming, cheering, jumping in anticipation and excitement!
I steel myself in preparation of the fight to come.
Suddenly, the opponent, Verity, smiles. “Jynx,” she leads, “attack Machamp with Psychic!” The Jynx’s hair lifts into the air, her eyes glow, and I’m hurled back by a blast of energy. I crash into the wall behind me, leaving cracks in the stone.
Above, the announcer jeers, “Ooh! That one’s gotta hurt! What a powerful Psychic attack!”
I lift myself off the ground as quickly as I can. Behind myself, I hear Nora, cry out: “Meganium! Use Petal Dance on the Jynx!”
Meganium’s petals twist and sway, and from within her flower, a flurry of rosy petals fly out, hundreds of them, and hurl toward Jynx, who becomes trapped within them. The battlefield is surrounded in a dance of petals, and it’s almost mesmerizing-- but there’s more important things to think about right now.
In the chaos of the fight, Verity’s command is only a whisper, but Blaziken seems to nod, looking directly at Meganium. At the same time, Nora calls out again, this time shouting, “Now, Machamp! Use Fire Punch on Jynx!”
I grin widely; this is my moment.
I charge at the Jynx, arm growing hotter and hotter as my passion for fighting erupts in a blaze, and I strike Jynx in the fiercest, most fiery punch I can deliver. She is struck, sent flying backwards into a rock behind her, and after a moment of tension, her body collapses.
“Verity’s Jynx is unable to battle!” shouts the referee.
“Machamp struck down the Jynx with Fire Punch!” The announcer adds. “The type matchup looked to be heavily in Verity’s favor, but now it’s a 2-against-1!” I flex for the crowd, absorbing their praise. The announcer’s voice picks up again, this time saying, “Though, we can’t be too sure the Green Corner has the upper hand just yet, especially after that massive hit Nora’s Meganium just took.”
My face falls, and I turn to look at Meganium-- and sure enough, she’s lifting herself up from a pile of rubble, obvious burn marks on her side. But she’s not looking at Blaziken, and neither is Blaziken looking at her-- now, Blaziken’s sights are fixed on me, almost studying me. I tense, preparing for the next command from Nora. As if we’re in sync, Nora cries out, “Machamp! Focus Punch!” I smile, close my eyes and center myself. One breath in. Hold. And breathe out. Somewhere in the distance, I faintly hear Nora shout for Meganium to use Synthesis, and Verity whispering another command. Fire… something. I open my eyes, and see that while Meganium is looking a little less worse for wear, the Blaziken is rushing toward her, claws wreathed in flame.
I start to charge at Blaziken, aim true, but I can’t stop what happens: Blaziken leaps into the air, descending upon Meganium like a bolt of lightning, pummeling two fiery fists into her, one hand after another, sending her crashing into the ground with a resounding boom.
Already, I know that Meganium couldn’t withstand an attack that powerful, even at perfect health. “A DIRECT HIT!” shouts the announcer from above. “Another Fire Punch from the Blaziken! What a showstopper! Let’s see if Meganium is still in it!”
A resounding, “Meganium is unable to battle!” bursts from the referee, as I draw closer to my target. I don’t wait for the announcer to pivot his focus to me before I rush Blaziken with the Focus Punch I’d been saving for it. Blaziken turns to meet me, barely recognizing it’s being attacked before absorbing the full impact of my punch. Blaziken stays on its feet, holding mostly upright as it slides backward. Impressive, I think. I grin madly, certain that no Pokemon could take my most powerful attack and continue to battle.
But, what I hear next stops my train of thought. The announcer, shouting, “Wait, what is that in Blaziken’s grasp?” A strip of cloth.. Folks! I don’t believe it! That’s a Focus Sash! Blaziken is STILL in the fight!”
And, sure enough, there it is: Blaziken, pulling itself upright, a band of cloth turning to cinders in its claws.
I squint my eyes, and study Blaziken. Between the tattered crest on her head, and the scars on her arms, there can be no mistake.
Blaziken speaks before I can. “It’s you, isn’t it? The Machop I taught to hold fire.” I nod.
She laughs, a sort of chittering sound. “You’ve learned so much since then, I see. You wield fiery fervor well.”
“Thank you,” I say sincerely, trying to convey the gratitude I feel. “You taught me something I needed to hear, right when I needed to hear it. My trainer and I understand each other, we grew closer and stronger together. I never gave up, and I never will, and that’s all because of you.”
Blaziken beams, looking the most proud that anyone has ever been for me. “I suppose the feeling is mutual.”
I tilt my head, confused. “What do you mean?”
“The trust you put into your trainer made me realize how much I did not trust mine,” she explained. “I ran away from the ranch that night, and I met Verity the same night, as she had also run away. We saved each other that day. I learned that I, too, deserved to be loved and trusted.”
I assume a powerful stance, keeping my four arms at the ready. As nice as our rapport was, I’m sure everyone’s wondering why the fighting stopped. “We should probably get back to it,” I say.
Blaziken laughs heartily, before responding, “Of course. But just know, as grateful as I am for the lesson you taught me, I won’t be magnanimous in the rest of this fight. So.. show me what you’ve got. One last Fire Punch, to finish off the championships. What do you say?”
I nod. “You’re on, Blaziken.”
We both take a leap back, and I channel every ounce of gratitude I have into an inferno in my fist, and look to Nora. She seems to understand, and together, the trainers shout:
“Blaziken!”
“Machamp!”
“Use Fire Punch!”
We charge at one another, flames licking at our wrists, trailing in whips of fire behind us. Blaziken raises hers as I raise mine, and our clenched fists meet in a blinding, incendiary light that absorbs everything.
And then, everything goes quiet.
I hear cheering, but I can’t focus on it. What just happened?
Suddenly, it all makes sense. And the referee confirms that, yes: “Machamp is unable to battle! The Red Corner trainer Verity emerges victorious!”
The crowd’s roars become deafening, their excitement enough to alleviate the pain of defeat, even if just a little. I open my eyes, and look to the sky, and how wonderfully blue it is. And, standing above me, is Blaziken, holding out her hand. I take it, and she pulls me into a hug.
I return it with everything I have.
Hey everyone! I’ve started a new series of daily Pokemon drawings that I’ve been posting each day to Twitter, and I just finished the first 10 GSC Pokemon. Then I realized I could stick them on buttons! (Sorry about the glare, it’s hard to get a good photo right now! But I’m really happy with how they look in person! Our printer gets the colors really nicely.)
Here’s a link to them in the shop! And remember, we still have a February 20% off promotion going on, if you wanted to grab em cheaper.
Anyway, I’m really enjoying this palette challenge! I’ve been doing each GSC Pokemon with the palette of their colors in G/S + black and white, and I’ve been trying to keep the same proportions, too. I love realizing design changes they made between GS and Crystal, like Croconaw having a little curled “hair” fin! What a cute thing.
let’s see if there really is someone out there for every pokemon. reblog and tag your favorite unpopular/cringe/whatever pokemon that for whatever reason no one but you seems to like or even talk about really. mine’s qwilfish 🐡
