the moon's overtaking the sun

A friendly little sword waves hello!

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:

Inktober day 6 (sword & Kalos)

My friend gave me an item in Flight Rising and when I asked what I could do for them in exchange, they wanted “Espurr and Honedge being creepy pokefriends”

Espurr…buddy…you can…stop….now…..

Espurr…?
