hey there, welcome to my blog! i'm arséne, originally from unova, now one of the top trainers currently in lumiose city. and no, i'm not affilicated with the sbc.
as seen very evidently in my profile, my partner is a talonflame named airstrike! he was the first ever pokémon i caught right when i got to lumiose, and we've been inseparable since.
aside from airstrike, i've got six other pokémon riding with me! (i know you're only supposed to have a maximum of six, but i've got a unique case going on.) here’s a quick rundown of my lineup:
airstrike (talonflame), my partner pokémon! he’s pretty gentle and analytic, yet easily the quickest on the team. he’s almost never in his ball since he likes to stretch his wings, so he’s usually on my shoulders or somewhere nearby.
blockade (chestnaught), a mischievous but big hearted girl who’s surprisingly fiesty. she likes to pull harmless pranks, usually resulting in someone getting a gift or a big hug.
escalade (gardevoir), often the most levelheaded and neutral of the group, and our strategist. i don’t think i’ve ever seen him panic, he’s quite reliable.
vanguard (scizor), who i met abandoned in a park and has since become the sweetest and clingiest scizor i’ve met. he’s almost always following someone else around, and is very protective of his friends.
skirmish (gyarados), a gyarados i rescued as a magikarp after she sustained a grave injury that resulted in a stunted evolution after recovering. unlike normal gyarados, she is very mild and easygoing, almost like a big old dog.
last stand (absol), a more recent and brave addition to the group, after she suddenly appeared and randomly saved me from rogue mega pokémon during the prism tower crisis.
fusillade (armarouge), an unusually blue-colored armarouge i met while she was already willingly fighting an alpha pokemon as a charcadet. she likes to go off alone to train for a week or two now and then, though, so it’s usually just the other six with me.
any original posts i make will be tagged with #arsene's posts, and pics will be tagged with #arsene's photos.
