A while back there were a lot of YouTubers talking about what they would do if they were a Pokemon Gym Leader.  This made me start thinking about what I would do as a Gym Leader and what my badge would look like.

I decided that my gym badge would look like a fusion of the three legendary beasts.  Even if this fusion wasn’t a real Pokemon, I could still have statues of it outside my gym.  

This 4th legendary beast also represents part of the burnt tower story as well as being a fusion.  Raikou represents the lightning that struck the tower.  Entei represents the fire that engulfed the tower.  Suicune represents the rain that put out the fire.  The 4th beast represents the steam that came from the tower and the clear sky.  And finally, Ho oh represents the rainbow.  

If he were a real Pokemon he would be the Fire/ Water type to represent steam, have have some interesting abilities from being a fusion.  He would be known as the “Cloud Walking Pokemon” and have the ability “Cloud Walker” and the secret ability “Thunder god”.  

Cloud Walker:  Makes the Pokemon resistant to flying-type moves and immune to ground-type moves.  

Thunder God:  Electric attacks are increased by 1.5, this Pokemon cannot get paralyzed, is immune to electric attacks, and if it is hit with an electric attack then its special Atk increases.  

Slightly Morbid Pokedex Entry:  This Pokemon can fly through the sky by walking on clouds.  It eats clouds in order to power the cumulus cloud on its back, and is well known for hunting Swablu.  

Design:  He is heavily inspired by the mythical “Pixiu” from China.  The Pixiu is a god of wealth, which goes nicely with Pokemon “Gold” and “Silver”.  He is also insipired by Shisas, Foo Dogs, and other dragon dogs.  The cumulus could on his back can darken into a storm cloud, or grow into a cumulonimbus cloud.  

Colors:  The design on the left is the normal version, while the one on the right is the shiny.  The colors in the normal version are inspired by the daytime and a Mountain Lion, while the shiny is inspired by the night and a black panther.
