Thank You For Asking Ohmy G O D - Tumblr Posts

Alright, I'll bite! Why'dya choose each pokemon? :) Really liking Kenny's boots btw. He's got good tastes.

I would die for you, god thank you so m u c h ('m glad ya like 'em! :D I based his outfit on my friend's zombie au a bit, just changed colors to make it more Pokemon-esque and friendly!)

OKAY SO!!! THIS IS ALL VERY BIASED DUE TO HEADCANONS! I WILL EXPALIN AS WELL AS I CAN!

Sewaddle

Sewaddles are known for bundling up and making their own clothes! There's just something about tiny baby sewaddle that reminds me of Kenny, hiding in his parka. I love it.

I also headcanon that Sewaddle tries to make Kenny a lil "parka" but fails epically because it doesn't know how to make clothes for humans (yet). Which leads to my third point!

Sewaddle are known for making their own clothes! Sewaddle could be very helpful for fixing old clothes when Kenny and Karen can't afford new clothes!

Litwick

Litwick are known for pretending to guide people while draining their life force. Which, Kenny is immortal. Litwick can endlessly leech off of him.

It's also said that litwick lead children into the afterlife... I like to think that this litwick started leeching off of Kenny for energy, because he's immortal and has plenty of "life" to spare. It started out as convenience, but after leading him by the hand towards his afterlife over and over again, it grew attached and protective.

Now it tries to guide Kenny safely through life, trying to help him stay safe, so that hopefully it won't have to take him to what lies beyond anymore.

Parasect

The poisonous spores it makes can be used for/in medicine. Health stuff just suits Kenny because Death, okay? Like, poison kills, yet in this instance can be used to heal, and I love that!

It's a fucking ZOMBIE! The original "bug" is dead, and entirely controlled by the mushroom on its back. It is dead. But alive... like Kenny.

No thoughts. Head empty.

Phantump

Now we get to the headcanon heavy stuff. Alright, some pokemon are actually humans who have died. Fun, right? Well, phantumps form when a spirit, more specifically a lost child who has died, possesses a rotten tree stump. Consider: a young Kenny gets lost in the woods, dies, and his spirit possesses a stump. He becomes a phantump, but at the same time he must come back to life, since being a ghost pokemon isn't exactly alive. So his soul splits, and a bit of him is still phantump. Is still that lost child who died in the woods and, scared of death, possessed the nearest object it could find.

Legend also says that by brewing their leaves and boiling down the liquid you can create a medicine that will cute anything! Do I like to think that this ability comes from/is enhanced by the fact part of Kenny's immortal soul is in the phantump? Maybe. Don't judge me.

Pumpkaboo

It's said that, much like litwick, pumpkaboo can lead people to the afterlife. I like to imagine that pumpkaboo and litwick do it together (or one at a time when it hurts too much).

Pumpkaboo, like phantump, are also formed by spirits trapped in this world! And Kenny's spirit goes many places, but sometimes it goes nowhere at all, and this leaves him vulnerable to pulls, like possessing objects (like many spirits seem to). I imagine this happens around middle school, so it's been a years since his spirit was last split. But again, he is brought back, and pumpkaboo is left in his wake.

Gengar

Gengars were also once human, and are rumored to take lives of humans to create companions since they're lonely!

This would definitely be when Kenny is in highschool, time for his spirit to heal and grow, and when he dies he is lonely and lost, trying to find companionship. His soul becomes warped, a shadow in itself, a playful smile in the night following potential "friends".

When he inevitably comes back, the gengar no longer seeks to kill for companionship, considering that Kenny would just come back anyways.

Honourable Mentions!

Color

I specifically chose orange and purple themed pokemon where I could! Orange because,,, well. And purple due to Mysterion! Phantump was more black then purple, and sewaddle more yellow than orange, but I'm kinda proud of how it turned out!

Types

I specifically chose pokemon that were ghost types and plant types! Ghost types because duh, Kenny dies, and plants because I felt they resembled life/growth. His pokemon represent him and that he comes back, in ever way!

Memories

Kenny's ghost pokemon can remember his deaths (or at least those that use to be Him). The rest of his don't remember, but they do have suspicions/get feelings.

Now here's Kenny wrapped up in clothes sewaddle made for him!
