part two of drawing my favorite pokemon team. here are members four and five respectively: demo and jester.
you can read more about them below if you want, but here's a heads up: my team, their backgrounds, and their designs are all based on personal headcanons that differ a little from what's canon.
to preface for context purposes, 'burr' is the team's trainer. all of burr's team was caught or gained in orre, the region to the far west of unova.
demo (short for 'demolition derby') snuck into burr's bag when he was a teeny-tiny tympole looking to become bigger and better through battle (and maybe not eaten by his brethren). he's mellowed out to become a gentle giant, doing things here and there around his trainer's home like gathering weeds, making dams, or just plugging up things with mud. he doesn't really talk; he lets his body do the talking for him. it makes him the quietest member of the team as well as the most well-behaved despite his brutish exterior.
jester is the complete opposite. he's an actual gremlin. much like demo, jester just kind of materialized in burr's party when he was a zorua and nobody really cared enough to question it. jester is a jack-of-all-trades. he can dream-walk to wake up his trainer to be fed, use telepathy to talk directly to whoever is unfortunate enough to be near him, use his illusions to trick the cashier into giving his trainer groceries for free, etc. and jester loves doing it simply because he thinks it's funny, and because it makes other members of the party laugh.
Hello everyone who is reading the series, I hope you all are enjoying the series. If you are, please comment and tell me what you think. It makes my day when people comment on my stuff. With that out of the way, I hope you all have a wonderful morning/evening/night😊.
Doctor
Most visitors that come to the circus expect that Doctor has a bunch of large, intimidating pokemon. Something like Dusknoir, Tyranitar, or Aggron. What they DONT expect is to see an... Aromatisse floating right next to Doctor? That's right, the large, intimidating, metal music loving doctor... has an Aromatisse. When people find out that Doctor has an Aromatisse, they are confused. Aromatisse are not used in the medical field, nor are they that strong or intimidating. Doctor ignores the visitors' stares and remarks as long as they don't hurt any of his pokemon. Doctor uses Aromatisse to test out the effects of aromatherapy. Doctor feeds different berries and herbs that are safe for Aromatisse to eat, and then he will see what fragrance Aromatisse makes. He actually enjoys testing out fragrances, and Aromatisse enjoys all the treats and pets that Doctor gives them😊. Aromatisse enjoys floating around Doctor when both of them are taking a break. Doctor enjoys reading about different plagues to Aromatisse, and Aromatisse enjoys listening to Doctor read about said plagues.
Doctor already knows that half of his team isn't intimidating, and that's fine with him. He doesn't NEED intimidating. He needs efficient pokemon to help him with his work, not to mention he is already intimidating enough on his own. That's where Ursaring comes into the picture. When a brave ( foolish ) visitor tries to start something or gets out of line, Ursaring is both large AND intimidating, with a growl, the very said bothersome visitor immediately backtracks on what they were about to say and do. Doctor finds these moments rather amusing, considering that he sees his Ursaring as an oversized teddy bear. When Ursaring isn't scaring the rowdy visitors that come to the tent, they are often seen sprawled out on the floor like a bear rug ( a few visitors have had a few scares when Ursaring lifted their head up ). Doctor enjoys the looks on the visitors' faces when he takes a walk with Ursaring. Ursaring lays near its trainers feet when Doctor is making medicine, and Doctor doesn't mind when Ursaring does this, the both of them just enjoying the silence of these moments.
Doctor enjoys how efficient Blissey's healing abilities are. Blissey loves helping Doctor out with organizing and tests. When Blissey isn't busy in the tent, they usually walk around the circus to see if anyone needs help or assistance. Doctor knows that his tent is dark and knows that the Happiny line can't thrive much in the dark, so Doctor let's Blissey walk around the circus to get some sunlight. Doctor and Blissey enjoy taking care of plants together.
Doctor finds Audino's hearing abilities fascinating. Not only does Audino have sensitive hearing, but Audino can hear EMOTIONS, and Doctor finds that fascinating to the point of testing it out ( don't worry, Doctor would NEVER hurt a pokemon, he just let's Audino hang around the rest of the circus members and their pokemon and see how Audino reacts ). Audino just loves helping its trainer and its teammates. Audino helps Aromatisse preen their feathers when it's molting season, brushing Ursaring, taking walks with Blissey so they don't get lonely, helping Seismitoad out with tests, patching up Pangoro after fights, and helping Doctor out with organizing, tests, and taking care of plants. Doctor and Audino enjoy taking care of plants together.
( I know adding Seismitoad to Doctor's team is... odd, but there is a reason. If you remember, in one of Seismitoads' pokedex entries, it is said that Seismitoads vibrating bumps are used for medicinal and therapeutic treatments.) Doctor enjoys testing out the healing effects of Seismitoads vibrations. Seismitoad enjoys the tests Doctor gives them. Doctor keeps a barrel of water in his tent so Seismitoads skin doesn't get dry. Seismitoad eats any bugs that get into Doctor's tent, especially the bugs that try to eat the plants. Doctor and Seismitoad enjoy taking short walks around the circus.
Pangoro is Doctor's bouncer. When Ursaring's warnings don't work, Pangoro is there to get the troublesome visitors out of Doctor's tent. Pangoro might not have healing moves or abilities, but they are strong. Pangoro picks up the troublesome visitors, takes them out of the tent, gently sets them down, and goes back inside the tent. Being a bouncer isn't the only job Pangoro has. Pangoro also helps with carrying boxes, lifting heavy objects, and helping break up fights between Pierrot and Harlequin ( usually by picking both Pierrot and Harlequin up by the collars of their costumes and dangling them off the ground. One clown in each paw. Doctor chuckles a bit when this happens. Doctor is always grateful for Pangoro's help, especially when it comes down to dealing with troublesome visitors. Doctor is more than capable of dealing with the visitors, but he is grateful for the help. At the end of the day, Doctor and Pangoro listen to metal music and relax together.
I hope you all enjoy my series. I know Doctor doesn't get a lot of love, so I hope I did him justice with my pokemon headcanon. I'm currently sick right now, so the other headcanons will have to wait. I hope you all have a wonderful morning/evening/night😊.
