Sparks: Lauri Pokemon Meme

Description

Uuuuugh, so how about I accidently flattened all the layers and saved this as a PSD first, then like an idiot closed PS thinking I'd saved it as a PNG? So now all I have is the flattened version of this. |D Hopefully I won't want to make any changes... x_x

So I'm kind of excited because this is the first thing I've done yet STRAIGHT with my tablet onto PS! :D It was really fun. I'm having such a blast with my new Intuos.

ANYWAY. This is Lauri Weaver, my HeartGold Pokemon OC. :3 For her complete background, go here: [link]
Obviously I spent more time on Lauri and less time on her team - just fun sketches. I'm planning on drawing them a bit more. :) Snorlax are surprisingly tough to draw well...

Title is taken from Trans-Siberian Orchestra's song "Sparks." Listen here: [link]
(It's kinda a kick-ass song. x3 And I feel it fits Lauri really well.)

Lauri's Team

Rhys, male Typhlosion
When Lauri started her journey again, she was still rather uncertain about her decision, so she chose a meek and cute Cyndaquil as her starter.
...Thankfully, she'd matured quite a bit by the time Rhys evolved into a Typhlosion.
Rhys is highly unfriendly to people and Pokemon he doesn't know, and he's crazily protective of Lauri. He always wants to do what's best, and often takes losses harder than Lauri herself. Sometimes Rhys will actually disobey Lauri's orders - not because he doesn't respect her, but because he doesn't think she's making the best decision. His temper is fiercesome, and anyone who threatens Lauri or his fellow team is going to eat fire.

Phineas, male Kingdra
Phineas is, if anything, a survivor. Lauri rescued him when he was just a Horsea, and with his confidence and perserverance, he's never let her down since. However, he also has the wisdom to know when to stop before he kills himself, and he tries to avoid dangerous situations instead of getting into them. He's really the only creature that can call Rhys down when he gets in a rage (and that includes Lauri), so it's lucky he's around, or Rhys might be dead by now.

Mort, male Snorlax
A Snorlax was one of the lowest Pokemon on Lauri's list for Pokemon she wanted for her team, honestly. That is, until she met Mort. He was - like most Snorlax - completely blocking the entrance into a cave in Johto, and in her efforts to move him, Lauri ended up accidently catching him. She was completely put off by this turn of events, but it didn't take long for Mort to grow on her. Unlike most Snorlax, Mort doesn't sleep any more than he has to - he seems to think that if he does, he misses out on stuff, and becomes very put off when he thinks he's missing something that everyone else knows. His antics amuse Lauri, and he's proven himself to be surprisingly tough and loyal, so he's here to stay. Plus, his belly's warm to sleep on.

Sonya, female Mismagius
Unlike Mort, Lauri always knew that she wanted a Misreavus for her team. One day, she was traveling through a cave when she noticed a Misreavus following her, but always at a timid distance. She was highly curious of Lauri, and attracted by the light (which was Lauri's then-Flaaffy at the time). Lauri was quick to catch her, but it took a lot of training to get Sonya to have the confidence to battle. Even as a Mismagius, Sonya still has a surprising amount of sweetness to her, and becomes very contrite whenever she makes a mistake or accidently hurts someone during her training. But she's also very clever and has a steady state of mind, which combined with her sweetness, makes her invaluable to Lauri.

Mal, female Honchkrow
For the longest time, Mal was not a part of Lauri's team. She was one of Lauri's first Johto catches as a Murkrow, and Lauri adored her. About halfway through their journey to the Championships, however, Lauri noticed a decline in Mal's power compared to the rest of her team. She didn't say anything, but trained harder and kept up the encouragement. Then one morning, Lauri woke up and Mal was gone. They looked everywhere, but never found her. Then, she returned when Lauri was just one badge away from Championships. She had evolved. But Lauri recognized her, and she was welcomed back to the team with open arms. Lauri didn't care; she was just glad to have her friend back. Mal's a Honchkrow with an attitude and a swagger, and she fights in part for pride. She will never suffer the shame that she believed she felt back when she was a Murkrow.

Ivy, female Ampharos
Ivy was another Pokemon Lauri wasn't sure about, but for a different reason. Lauri loved Flaaffy and wasn't sure she wanted to see Ivy evolved. During a gym battle once, however, Ivy was on the point of serious injury, but she refused to give up, no matter how many times Lauri ordered her back. Suddenly, Ivy began to evolve, and this time, Lauri said nothing. If Ivy was willing to go to any lengths to win, Lauri knew it was best to let her; Ivy won that gym battle, too. Despite her stubbornness, however, Ivy is normally laid-back and rather giggly and silly. She can be absentminded at times, but when she gets down to business, she's all seriousness.

Oh Yeeeeaah, totally should draw a comic of our OCs, or a collab, something! Our pokelove must be indulged. <3

Also love the descriptions, you put a lot of thought into them.
