Sometimes Espresso Draws

Hello and welcome to Espresso's art blog!

This account exists as a place to post my art by itself, along with gift art created for me by other artists. If you just want to see my work and don't want to deal with shitposts and reblogs, then this is the place for you!

Subjects include characters from my Pokemon Mystery Dungeon original setting (along with Pokemon in general), overworked and exhausted office animals, a dumb, ditzy blonde deer that people seem to like, and anything else I feel like drawing at the time.

Art gets posted here first, and then immediately reblogged to my main account, so if you don't mind reblogs and shitposts, feel free to follow my other account instead!

@heropartnerweek Day 3: Favorite Place

While the boys have their own room at the Guild's dormitory, they're just as likely to be found spending their down time at Finn's parents' house. For Finn, it's his childhood home, obviously. For Benji, its one of the few places where he feels completely safe and at ease, a refuge from the Guild's expectations and the every day insanity of the pokemon world.

Technically, rookie teams are supposed to live at the Guild full-time, but when your parents are retired top-level explorers - and senior members of the Guild's executive council to boot - you can get away with fudging a few rules here and there. Besides, Finn's mom and dad know that Benji needs somewhere to retreat when things get overwhelming, and since they've basically adopted him as one of their own, they consider it his home too.

Honestly, I haven't gotten that far yet!

"Hey why can't I hit ghosts anymore?!"

Its subject to change and depends on what part of the story we're talking about, but this is what their movesets would be at around level 20 (going by Generation IV rules):

Benji Ability: Run Away - Endure - Frustration - Quick Attack - Dig

Finn Ability: Inner Focus - Foresight - Counter - Force Palm - Reversal

Benji learned Dig from Latte. He thought it was degrading at first, but it comes in handy several times, and he eventually has to admit its pretty cool to just be able to "dive" into the ground like that - even if he does get filthy in the process.

I've thought about giving them both more TM moves. In my setting, "TM" stands for "Technical Manual" and are moves you can learn from books or scrolls, similar to how old kung fu and karate manuals were used back in medieval China and Japan. Both of the boys are bookworms, and I could see them bonding by studying moves together.
