How did Elesa get a Blitzle as a starter if she's from Sinnoh? (hang on this is ironic she could've learned about warden ingo in school back there)
Blitzle Elesa backstory under cut!
Blitzle was gifted to Elesa so she has an “easier time” integrating into Nimbasa by her well meaning dad. This is not the greatest move, since the two feel they are more obligated to stick together then, you know, actually choose each other. Blitzle’s meant to be a utility mon— he helps charge elesa’s hearing aid batteries and basically serves as an emotional support when things get rough. He’s… not the biggest fan. (I like to imagine Blitzle was originally part of a battle track, but his IVs aren’t the greatest so they shuffled him out. He’s a bit bitter about that.)
Inciting incident where they actually start taking the proper steps to becoming partners is when Elesa takes a tumble down a hill and Blitzle twists his foreleg going after her. (Local child eats shit! More at 11.)
They’re just kids, and they’re still learning.
(When Elesa decides to challenge the gyms, Blitzle’s so excited he accidentally trips their house’s circuits.)
((As for Elesa hearing about Warden Ingo, well… that’ll be a future issue.))

Commission for my Patron OneeyedHunter96!
By god. This is the biggest illustration I ever got commissioned for. And it's an EL'S ALOLAN ADVENTURES-THEMED ONE TOO??
HAS CHRISTMAS COME EARLY THIS YEAR???
This was both a lot of fun and a huge challenge for me, as I had never drawn a battle scene before and am quite inexperienced with drawing action scenes like this. I found inspiration and help from patrons and friends and am very happy with the final result. The experience definitely made me feel more confident at the thought of possibly illustrating another action scene in the future :D
Thank you so much for commissioning me! :D
(Commissions are currently closed, I'm booked out for the next 2-3 months!)
