Description It seemed as if Mo had only been at the dome for a short time when Round Two was announced. She arrived a bit late to the meeting (as usual), and sat near the exit (as a strategic move) with a few snoozing trainers. She listened quietly to Mr. Chow's challenge. When he dismissed them she stood up and darted to her dorm where she changed into her winter wear and put on shoes. She grabbed Jack's light tail-bag and stuffed her dart gun and some other gear into it. Sitting near the exit during the meeting turned out to be a good move, as she passed the room again it seemed as if most of the trainers were prepping their pokemon or discussing the challenge. Mo pushed her aviator's over her eyes and grinned. This was going to be too easy.

The blizzard was harsh outside the dome, and the chill left Morgan wishing she had brought warmer clothes. She shook off the snow already accumulating on her shoulders and climbed onto her aerodactyl, Jack. The spike on his back created a perfect place for her to ride as he walked. Morgan thought quickly about strategy. Her water pokemon would freeze in the cold, Medi was cold blooded, and Gideon would have been dissolved by the fierce winds. She released her sableye Ralph from it's pokeball, and it immediatly hopped up onto her shoulders. She explained the challenge to her pokemon and they set out.

te he he. Okay, so the text above is kind of my reaction to the challenge. (I hate typing in third person when it's about /me/)
This picture is a moment when the blizzard slowed slightly, giving the team a chance to survey the land and get their bearings. They climbed onto a bit of exposed rock at the edge of a valley. In the valley they could see several trainers searching and a vast forest in the distance.

Mo's Strategy- Her initial strategy is to ride on Jack (walking, not flying. Jack is a quadruped and can walk fairly easily through the deep snow) and use Ralph's keen eye ability to see through the blizzard and locate the beacon. This was taking too long without any sightings, so they started to just tail big groups of trainers. They're hoping either to be led toward a beacon, or waith til someone in the large group grabs one and then fight for it.
They're not afraid to play dirty hahaha

massive size difference though, it would be interesting to see them in a two-on-two battle together

I love your picture.The colors all match up perfectly and everything feels like it fits. I discoverd while drawing my picture that it's harder than it looks to keep the characters colors fitting in with the background. Or maybe that's just me.

The way you draw your pokemon is definitely inspiring and you make me want to like sableye.

thanks so much!
I used to have a lot of trouble blending my colors, but I started mixing a bit of the background color into the base colors of my characters and shading in the same "color family", if that makes any sense. Like in this picture I shaded toward a red color scheme.
haha sableye is one of my favorite pokemon. It's such a cute little freak.
