(going to pretend i didn’t read that the malicious armor is supposed to have history and be full of grudges. Maybe this one’s just for cosplay ToT or it’s the grudges of corviknight)

Wanted to try my hand at coming up with a Pokemon team inspired by Hikaru Shidou from Magic Knight Rayearth! My thoughts were …

Arcanine: Hikaru’s Mashin is, of course, the titular Rayearth, who appears as a fire-themed wolf. So I figured Hikaru needed a fire puppy! And I think she’d love to hug a big fluffy Arcanine. [:

Honedge: All three girls have swords, but Hikaru in particular does kendo, so it felt right to give her a sword themed Pokemon. And the shiny one is even red.

Charcadet: A little fire warrior for my favorite fire warrior!

Lycanroc (Dusk Form): A more wolf-y dog for Hikaru. Dusk form because the color suits the overall fire theme.

Litleo: I also wanted to give Hikaru a cat, because she often has cat ears in the gag scenes. Litleo, in addition to being a part fire type, also has a fun, energetic vibe, that felt right for Hikaru’s personality to me. They can have adventures together!

Sunflora: Because she has a sunny personality!

And of course, even in a Pokemon AU the magic knights would still be accompanied by … Mokona:
