Vance is an older pokemon oc of mine Im trying to draw again. A retired pokemon champion who followed it up with a career as both an actor and leader of an elite disaster response squad in Unova.
As a young trainer, Vance was taken up in the pokemon battling storm and poured his heart into making battles not only fun but full of twists and flare. A journey that would take him to the top as a champion of unova. While he never gave up on pokemon battling there was a point he felt it was time to let the next generation take up the mantle. His showmanship managed to land him a deal at pokestar studios in virbank where he would inhabit the role of a superhero, boosting his popularity even more.
After the events of Pokemon Black and White, with Ghetsis’ attempted coup, Vance wanted to put his battle skills into something more helpful than just movies. He continued to act in movies as he felt that people dealing with the aftermath of the crisis needed something uplifting. However he also joined a group of dedicated trainers that advocated for a disaster response team. Vance would become one of the first responders to the disastrous events of Black and White 2 where him and his team would lead evacuation efforts and also rescues for those caught in the artificial ice storm.
While Vance is starting to show his age a little he still sometimes makes appearances for movies and television and continues to train and lead efforts with the disaster response team. His legacy is being followed by his fiery daughter, Augustine, who wishes to become a ‘hero’ just like her father.
