RWBY Pokémon AU
(WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD GIFS OF THEM! SERIOUSLY?! OR DO- GARGH!)
#21 - Cardin Winchester and The Executioner
Cardin was a terror on Jaune growing up. The two lived close together, and Cardin would always tease him. Then one day, Cardin was attacked by a wild Pokémon, and Jaune saved him. It was from this action that Cardin left to begin his journey, using the same Pokémon that attacked him.
The Executioner was but a chick who had challenged Cardin in it's wildly prideful temperment. Cardin searched for and had tended to the Rufflet, unaware of the unique breed this Pokémon was. Cardin trained it to become the powerful beast of the sky it is today, thanks partially to the massive ego boost it gained from battling weaker Pokémon. In his worst temperments, he'll psychically blast an opponent into the ground.
#22 - Russel Thrush and Shortwings
Russel was a top student in gymnastics before joining with Cardin. In fact, he joined on a bet; if Cardin could beat his Pokémon in a battle, he would join, but if he lost, Cardin would trade his Poké-Balls for a unitard. Through surprising skill, Cardin won with his Rufflet. It was embarrassing for both Russel, and his Pokémon.
Shortwings is the fastest Pokémon of the team, and surprisingly the most agile. Thrush often has to act as a mediator between the bickering brains. Cardin says it's why he's the best politician in the group.
#23 - Dove Bronzewing and Hallshott
Dove is the secret weapon of the team. Before his journey, Dove practiced fencing, swordplay, and was a skilled fighter. As a result of his years of training, he earned his Pokémon, whose feathers he uses for his swords.
Hallshott is constantly at odds with the other Pokémon. It's either racing Shortwings or fighting The Executioner for top bird position. For some reason, the only Pokémon he doesn't fight is Feather's Edge. When he molts, he will beak deliver feather's to Dove.
#24 - Sky Lark and Feather's Edge
Lark follows a personal creed of "follow the strongest," and Cardin is the strongest trainer he ever met. He'll often join in a mean joke when he doesn't even know who is the punchline. As of yet, he hasn't spoken a word against anyone, especially Cardin.
Feather's Edge is a perfectly balanced Pokémon Lark caught as a Starly. Training includes praticing Attack and Special Attack, while perfecting dodges. Overall, Feather's Edge is a bland Pokémon that just blends in with the crowd.
