Silver was assigned the shadow pokemon case from his guild master. After his previous partner is pokenapped and the door to their heart is closed off, Silver’s guildmaster tries to remove Silver from the case. However, after Silver rescues Wing, it’s discovered that Silver has the special ability to open pokemon hearts again. Now its up to the two of them to save the world.
This was done for a contest and is my first full piece in arceus knows how long. Two years maybe?
This was inspired by the shadow pokemon games, Coliseum and XD: Gale of Darkness.
An eevee is the starter pokemon in XDGoD and a Teddiursa is the first shadow pokemon you are able to catch in game.
Their names are Silver and Wing. In the main pokemon games, a Silver Wing is a legendary artifact dropped by the pokemon Lugia.
Their team name is XD001 which is also the name of the case file for Shadow Lugia in Gale of Darkness, the game about shadow pokemon.
The background is inspired by the Silver Trench, the place where you first meet Lugia in PMD.
Silver’s automail leg is inspired by the playable character’s snag machine in Coliseum and XDGoD.
And finally, Wing is the name of my first PMD OC, and he was the original inspiration for this team!

Their guild is very by-the-book and organized. Team names are rotom-generated so pokemon don’t feel encouraged by creativity.
Silver’s previous partner was a non-binary bayleef named Raven. They were good at what they did, but they could have been better had they gotten along.
Silver went against orders when he went on Wing’s rescue mission. His punishment was a night without dinner and cleaning out the bathrooms.
Although Wing’s heart is eventually reopened, he has no memory of his previous life. He joins Silver hoping memories will come back to him.
Wing still has the power to control shadow energy after his heart has been opened. It comes at a cost to his energy and consciousness.
Silver is the light-hearted optimist of the pair and Wing is the disheartened realist.
Silver likes to cosplay and will dress up as important/historical guild leaders when given the chance.
Silver is perpetually always late.
I spent about 10 hours on this piece and it doesn’t show. I wish I was better at art RIP OTL
