WAVE 15: FESTIVAL OF FEASTS
So far, we have mostly shown you the wildlife of the Oriva region, and not so much on the Pokémon based off real life inanimate objects. Today, that changes, with Pokémon based off lights and food being shown to the world for the first time! These Pokémon can be found early into your adventure.
Light/Fire --> Light/Fire --> Light/Fire
Based off the Chōchin'obake, Choper is a lantern Pokémon that spends most of the time hanging off walls and lampposts, disguising itself as an ordinary lantern. When someone gets close to it, it will reveal it's true face and cackle at the target maniacally, but it does not mean to pose any harm outside of battle. Inside Choper's body is a flame that keeps it illuminated all night, and in desperate cases, it can even self-destruct. It evolves into Minasuri, who becomes more of a talented pyromaniac. People have dubbed it "The Walking Grenade", as when it sees someone it does'nt trust, it explodes in a wild firestorm that can light up in the night sky for days, though it always repairs itself otherwise. People often use them as firestarters, usually to start huge ceremonial fires that people can burn their worries in, though their use is closely monitored by the police. Finally, Minasuri evolves into Obakanternoz, who becomes a wandering lantern detonator. It walks across streets carrying it's own lantern, which it uses to make other lanterns shine brighter than ever before, though this also makes the lantern explode in the process. As it walks, it leaves behind little flames that can be used to refuel lanterns. In battle, Obakanternoz uses it's own lantern as a weapon, hitting the target with enough force to cause explosions at will!
Light/Dragon --> Light/Dragon --> Light/Dragon
Upwork is a firework dragon Pokémon that flies into the night sky to create dazzling fireworks. These fireworks can serve many purposes, such as giving messages to the other Upworks, distracting enemies so the other Upworks in it's pack can finish them off, or to calm it down after a rough day of eating coal. People often use Upworks in lieu of actual fireworks, with each Upwork providing a different kind of firework, which is decided at birht just like genetics. When Upwork evolves into Dysong, it loses the ability to become a firework, instead being able to launch several fireworks out of the tubes in it's body. These fireworks are made from the food that Upwork eats, and different food can lead to different kinds of fireworks being made. Bringing one to a festival will provide atmosphere and celebration, as it can launch ten fireworks from it's cannons within a single second, both towards the night sky and it's own enemies. It fully evolves into Baodhu, who some people call "The Bringer of Celebration". By flying across the night sky in a dazzling manner, it can replicate any kind of firework imaginable, and it always knows which ones to use for the right festival. If you see Baodhu at the first day of a festival you have invented, it is a sign that the festival will last for millenniums on end. In battle, it launches it's own arms at it's opponents like a storm of fireworks, and it can do this faster than the enemy can even think of.
Steel/Sound --> Steel/Sound --> Steel/Sound
Chauong is basically a living gong! Every time it is rung, everyone around it is filled with either a sense of serenity and peace, or an unbreakable fighting spirit, depending on where and when Chauong is rung. It only allows the most trusted of people to ring it, and it will attack anyone else by rendering them deaf with a single strike of it's gong, creating a sound wave that can shatter all glass in the principality. It's evolved form is Kwonong, which can now strike itself far easier with it's new tail, always doing so to signify the start of a brand new day. Kwonongs are often rung at festivals to provide excitement in all the participants, filling them the spirit to keep it going for weeks on end. Caution must be taken when ringing one, though, as the strike of a Kwonong can level a building with it's sound waves. It's final evolved form is known as Gamelong, which gains two drumsticks that can ring it's three gongs at will, both as a form of entertainment, and as it's main fighting tactic, leveling it's enemies with a wave of sound that can destroy a mountain in one sweep. Each gong provides a different sound wave and a different kind of energy to those who hear it, and Gamelong balances all of these waves so that everyone can get the energy they want. The gong that serves as it's body is more noteworthy, as it can be heard and felt for miles, filling entire cities with an endless fighting spirit.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Sonar Smash: A power 70 Special Sound move that never misses. It can be learnt by most Sound-type Pokémon, mainly ones that are Special Attackers.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Drumroll: A power 30 Physical Sound move that hits three time. It's mainly learnt by Pokémon that can play themselves like a drum or a similar instrument, like Gamelong.
Time/Magic --> Time/Magic --> Time/Magic
Based off the Maikubi and the Omamori, Luckamoris are wearable lucky charms that provide good luck and protection from the spirits to those who wear them around their neck. As such, they are often handed out at festivals to ward off evil spirits, and people often donate them to other people who need them, or to temples as a prayer of good luck. It's normally a very friendly Pokémon, but when Luckamori starts refusing to be worn, it is a sign that it is close to it's evolution into Splikubi. Now a floating spirit of luck, it's two heads never get along well with each other, resulting in it constantly spinning around for supremacy. They keep fighting even when battle, using time magic to control the foe without them even noticing: the green head can slow down time, while the red head speeds it up. Allegedly, the only time the heads do manage to get along is when they are sleeping, channeling luck across the entire bodies. Their final evolved form is Oonkeizami, which gains a third head which, like the other two, never get along, accelerating time's flow uncontrollably as the three heads fight. Oonkeizami is said to be the reincarnation of three samurai who chopped their heads off in a massive argument, cursed to be this way until they make up. Strangely, the three heads appear to represent the three wise monkeys: The left head represents Macaring, the middle head represents Oradish, and the right head represents Libbon.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Chrono Burst: A power 80 Special Time Attack that may lower speed by 1. This move can be learnt by most Time-type Pokémon, and is often their best available Special STAB move.
Shadow/Fairy --> Shadow/Fairy --> Shadow/Fairy
Sensuchi is a handheld fan Pokémon that allows those it trusts to fan off the heat by using it as an actual paper fan. It has a snobbish personality and likes to be pampered with royality at all times, even in poor towns. They also serve as a form of archery target, though this puts the Sensuchi in a lot of stress, and they often scream at the archers afterwards for treating them so poorly. Their fan is sharp enough to cut through wood, and it becomes depressed if even a slight dent appears in it. Sensuchi evolves into Fawtashata, a Pokémon who thinks it's a spoiled emperor. They spend all day pampering their fans, cleaning them of dirt and repairing them using leather from other Pokémon. These fans are now so sharp, they can cut through solid titanium, and Fawtashata uses every last one of them in battle, confusing it's enemies with a dazzling display of martial arts that resemble ones used by emperors and nobility. Supposedly, how open these fans are represent it's mood, with them being wide open meaning it's happy, and closed meaning it's said. After Fawtashata has gained enough experience from battle, it reaches it's final evolution in the form of Hanfyusha, known to some as "The Crimson Fan Fighter". It fights in such an elegant way with it's fans, that most of it's enemies believe it is an actual student of a long lost emperor, and Hanfyusha treates these fans with more care than ever, even closing them out of battle to prevent them from being damaged. It has a royal personality, and all other Pokémon near it look up to it as if it was their lord. It is also a very prime Pokémon, refusing all but the most royal forms of treatment.
Magic/Ghost --> Magic/Ghost --> Magic/Ghost
A Pokémon based off the Hitodama, Hinowillas are said to be the lost souls of those who have perished given life once more. They wander aimlessly across the Oriva Region, meaning no harm to anyone when it is not in combat, and are invisible to most people, requiring special tools like the Silph Scope or the Devon Scope to see. However, they tend to wander the homes that their original body once lived in, alongside the valuables they once had. Although it is mostly harmless in this form, Hinowilla can be felt by the slight sense of Magical energy in your body. It's evolved form is Ookyoshu, which only Hinowillas that have forgotten their former self can become. Now consumed by it's own magical flames, Ookyoshus starts wildfires against their own will, and people will not know why they begun, as it is also an invisible Pokémon. It has a brutal personality, but it only seems to attack Pokémon and objects that were a bane to it's past life, such as Cyrigumos if the person had Arachnophobia. Any soul that is eaten by Ookyoshu will become a Hinowilla in itself, unable to be revived once more. It fully evolves into Gazokonemeon, a savage Pokémon that only aims to complete the dreams and ideals that it's former life had, obvious to the amount of lives they'll claim in the process with it's flames that leave burns that will never heal. Gazokonemeon's presence can be noted by the trail of magical flames it leaves behind, which burn both the body and the soul, but it never seems to attack anything that was a virtue to it in it's past life, and it often becomes the partners of it's former loved ones. It's said that the first Hinowilla that managed to fully evolve into Gazokonemeon was a general who had lost everything in a single day.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Wispy Flames: A power 80 Special Magic Attack that may cause a burn. Most Magic Pokémon that are also related to fire, or the other way round, can learn this move. Most Fire/Magic type Pokémon always learn it.
Water/Athlete --> Water/Athlete --> Water/Athlete
Cappa is a Kappa Pokémon that loves nothing more than to relax in hot springs, lakes, rivers, and even the ocean. You'll often find it practicing the backstroke, which allows it to use it's arms for other activities while it's still swimming at a fast speed, such as stealing a fruit from a nearby Pokémon and eating it for itself. Inside it's rain dish is a gas that can cause drowsiness to those who smell it. However, Cappa becomes a lot more energetic when it evolves into Sarasube, though it still uses the backstroke while swimming. It's newly toughened shell can deflect enemy attacks right back them, and it can propel it's legs with enough speed to outrun a jet ski. They keep themselves refreshed by letting their rain dish collect the rain, and this rain can then be converted into talented medicine, which becomes more apparent when it reaches it's final evolution of Backaró. Now fully refreshed in itself, Backaró uses it's staff to clean sick people of their injuries, and covert it into a special formula that relaxes the body and soul, providing great sleep in the process. It wanders around ponds and lakes looking for people that require it's aid, and it can always get to any situation very quickly, as it's backstrokes allow it to swim as fast as a shooting star. Every ounce of water that enters it is converted into the medicine that the staff uses, which can also cause bursts of adrenaline to those who drink it.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Training: An Athlete Status move that increases the user's highest stat by 2. This move is learned not just by Athlete-type Pokémon, but also by Pokémon that constantly train themselves, such as Fighting Pokémon.
Water/Fighting --> Water/Fighting --> Water/Fighting
Based off the Amberjack, Ambunos are a class of Sumo wrestlers that eat every second to make sure it is fat enough to smash it's enemies with powerful sumo tackles. It's skin composure is very similar to most sushi dishes, and Ambuno will shed off it's own fat to make sure it stays healthy, allowing chefs to use this fat in cooking. Supposedly, all Ambuno cares about when it isn't fighting is to eat as much as possible, not even paying attention to anything else but it's own opponents that they are going to fight. Once it stops doing this and has gained enough weight, it evolves into Hameshi, who weighs as much as an aircraft carrier. Now a talented sumo wrestler, Hameshi fights with a code of honor, defeating it's opponent with a flurry of water infused tackles before helping them back up and training them under their own fins. On it's side are several Ambuno eggs, though no-one has ever seen them hatch or even move. Instead, Hameshi uses them as a form of ration, giving them to other people, mainly it's own opponents or itself, to regain their fighting spirit after a battle. Despite being a Water type, it can't swim very well, sinking to the bottom of the sea. It's final evolved form is Yokosura, a sumo wrestler who is comparable to most Yokozunas. It is now so heavy, that when it slams down on it's target, it causes earthquakes that reshape the rivers around it: Maps have to be redrawn afterwards. It has an unbreakable fighting spirit, never giving up against any opponent it faces, even if it is far stronger than them. Yokosura also regains it's appetite in this form: It feeds off a diet of the equivalent of a million Ambuno eggs per day!
Poison/Fairy --> Poison/Fairy
Fooshi is a Sushi Pokémon that lives up to it's name. While it may look like a piece of sushi, it is in fact inedible laced with toxins that can cause heart failure for weeks, and Fooshi tricks it's opponents into eating them by wafting out an aroma that resembles the smell of fish. To allow itself to use this technique more than once, Fooshi can regenerate it's own body from just it's heart, though it takes weeks in order to do this. Once Fooshi's happiness is maxed out, it evolves into Nirezushi, who instead of acting as inedible food, now serves as a minature shinobi. It runs across water like it was the ground, and it's small size allows it to go into surfaces that most other people would'nt go into, allowing it to infiltrate it's enemies when they least expect it. It's aroma drains it's enemies of their will to fight, before Nirezushi itself goes for the kill by punching them a thousand times per second, each punch being laced with a deadly toxin that can cause death. In all words: Don't be fooled by Nirezushi's innocent looks!
Fairy/Job --> Fairy/Job --> Fairy/Job
Noodels is a Pokémon that resembles a bowl of noodles which never seem to run out. These noodles are in fact a part of it's body, made of a special kind of wheat that never seems to dry out. They help other chefs make noodles by scooping them up with it's two apandeges that resemble a pair of chopsticks, and they can cover them in a scent that always makes them tasty. Supposedly, the first noodles of the Pokémon world originated from this Pokémon. Noodels evolves into Suoghetti, which is no longer bound to it's bowl. While it may appear that the eyes are the face of this Pokémon, they are nothing more than discolored meatballs made from the prey it eats: It's actual head is the small one to the side, which is made from a special kind of noodles that is said to bring life to those who can eat it. It restrains it's prey in it's own noodles before slamming them to the ground, and they are infused with a scent that prevents escape. However, it still loves to help other people, creating enough noodles to feed a town in a single strike. But trainers are advised to keep good care of their Suoghetti when it reaches it's final evolved stage in the form of Pythudon. This is because that most wild Pythudons lose control of themselves when they evolve, basically serving as a living noodle house. It catches innocent people and Pokémon in it's tendrils before feeding them to the eye in it's body, which breaks down every last nutrient in their body into a string of delicious noodles, which they then feed to other Pokémon and people. Pythudons that have only just evolved will only serve themselves and other Suoghettis, but as time goes on, they will eventually serve other hungry Pokémon as well, making sure that every last noodle is made according to the customer's needs and allergies.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Pink Slip: A Power 90 Physical Job move that throws a pink slip at the target so hard, it may cause flinching. Most Job-type Pokémon can learn this attack at high levels, and it is one of the most powerful Physical Job moves to exist.
Wierd/Fire --> Wierd/Fire
Very wierd indeed! Slusabi is basically a huge monster made of wasabi, which makes it extremely spicy. It's only purpose in life is to eat everything it sees, like a swarm of invasive nanobots, covering them in guacamole in the process. However, Slusabi is quite picky with it's food, and will spit it's target out if it finds it inedible. It's body composure is so hot, that it can cause fires without it even noticing. That being said, applying Slusabi's skin to food is said to make it far tastier than ever. It's evolved form is Horacamole, a huge guacamole monster that does'nt mind if the things it eats are inedible. It can consume entire houses and leave towns uninhabitable by covering them in spicy wasabi that is said to be as hot as the surface of the sun, and is impossible to remove. It even tries to eat other Pokémon, and thus trainers are advised to always have a steady supply of Poké Balls to catch Horacamole whenever it is seen. Once it is caught, Horacamole stops eating and can be employed by it's trainer as a form of garbage disposal, as it thinks that anything is a five star meal for it.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Melt: A power 100 Special Wierd move that melts the target's legs, preventing them from using contact moves on their next turn. However, it only has 80% Accuracy.
SPECIAL ATTACK: Optical Illusion: A power 80 Special Wierd move that overloads the target's mind with abstract art and illusions, which may cause paralysis. Most Wierd Pokémon can learn this attack.
Water/Poison --> Water/Poison
Puffugu is a Pufferfish Pokémon that possesses very toxic spikes, able to cause heart failure for weeks. When a predator approaches it, it will puff itself up to show these spikes, a warning that the predator should back away. It travels across the ocean, feeding on seaweed without the slightest worry of being attacked. Despite this, Puffugu is a very delicious Pokémon, with even a single bite of it able to fulfill the need for hunger for several days on end. It evolves into Takizuka, those toxic spikes are now deadly enough to turn it's opponent into a bomb of poison, spreading it to other opponents when they explode. They can puff themselves in such a way that when they deflate, their spikes launch themselves in every angle possible. They make sure that no deceased fish Pokémon goes to waste, using it's toxic spikes to cook the Pokémon into a fine fish dish, when it then leaves on the shore for other people to eat. Amazingly, none of this Pokémon's toxins remain in the dish afterwards, and people believe that they are gifts from Legendary Pokémon associated with water, such as Azryu.
