This started as just me trying to figure out how to draw Ursaluna, but then I started drawing other Pokemon as I once again tried (and failed) to settle on an ideal Pokemon team for my trainer character, Drook...who I did a picture of exactly once four years ago and then completely neglected to draw again until now. Oops.
To recap, Drook is from Orre, he’s a wannabe Gym Leader and/or Pokemon Ranger, and he has slight himbo energy. His main partner is a Flygon named “Darude”.
Honestly, in terms of skill set, the people we selected to crew our Leman Russ Vanquisher were faultless. But, truth be told, we probably should have intermingled them more often first.
I know it's in the name and all, but is it normal for grenadier regiments to issue twelve kilograms of grenades? I thought they were just supposed to be elite troops. Then again, I guess the fact that they were recruiting from a planet should have hinted that we were the 'grenade launcher' type, but still. I mean, sure, when you use an automatic grenade launcher, five kilos of your main ammo is good, but the grenades I have to carry weigh almost as much as the launcher. Is this a sane doctrine?
So, for Milly and the major, how much can you two drink before your wasted?
That’s super hard to keep track of, man. It varies from night to night and it’s not a counting game, you know? If I had to guess, I’d say after a bottle of wine and a six pack of tall boys, within an hour or two will get me pretty bent.
A've gawtten sawft. Ah start tae feel it efter mah second bottle.
Whoa! Since when do you get drunk after two beers?
Whit? Fuck awf! Mah second bottle ay whiskey! Aam nae fahckin' fife.
Ah e'en keep a body ur tois geodes an' a single vortex stashed fur special occasions! I pure wanna gie mah hans oan th' ones 'at th' cully carries, but apparently Ah wooldnae hae a use fur them. Ah believe 'at.
- Drook spent most of his childhood living with his uncle in Orre. Inspired by stories of trainers in other regions (particularly his idol, Alder, the then-champion of Unova), Drook made it his purpose to travel to other regions and become a Pokemon trainer himself. He first journeyed through Sinnoh as a teenager, initially accompanied only by his Flygon.
- Drook’s Flygon, Darude, was the first Pokemon he ever caught, and the only one he obtained in Orre. Encountered as a Trapinch, Darude is Drook’s closest companion, though he isn’t necessarily his best fighter (partly because he was caught well before Drook began training seriously). That said, he’s hardly a pushover.
- Drook enjoys hiking, assisting lost trainers, and helping contain out-of-control Pokemon. He considers himself a Pokemon Ranger, but since he doesn’t actually have a ranger license, he isn’t officially recognized as one. Mentioning this around him tends to make him sour.
- Drook has no set team, since he has more than six Pokemon. He doesn’t specialize in any particular type, although he is especially fond of Ground-types. Drook trains his Pokemon to be versatile combatants, focusing mainly on coverage, so they can reliably handle a variety of threats and (hopefully) counter those that would take advantage of their weaknesses. In addition, most of his Pokemon have a distinct role outside of battle, such as scouting or moving through rough terrain.
- Although his pre-made tactics and strategies are usually well thought out, Drook isn’t quite as impressive when it comes to thinking on the fly. This is part of why he focuses so much on adaptability and reflexes when training his Pokemon. Aside from that, it could be said that he is slightly disadvantaged against Flying-types, since several of his Pokemon are weak to Flying attacks (and one of them specifically has a bird phobia). That said, Rock and Electric attacks are not uncommon among their movesets, so he’s still equipped to handle them.
