This connects to Beidou's alias as the "Uncrowned Lord of the Ocean".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEHYA!

After getting her lucky golden Magikarp, she'd try her luck again, only to be surprised by this tiny little fish. I didn't draw it but my idea would be that she ends up keeping it due to curiosity, until it evolves into Eelektrik where it's actually addicted to battling and is very aggressive about it. I'd imagine that helps Beidou grow up to being strong too, cuz she'd have to keep up with holding back Eelektrik so it doesn't fight every Pokemon it sees.

Hitmonchan and Mightyena were both considered but imho Crabonimable fits Wriothesley way better than Hitmonchan and while Mightyena would have worked, I think it would be fun if the common guard dog in the Fortress of Meropide is Mightyena, while the Duke's is the bipedal Dusk Lycanroc!

Clorinde's Pokemon team!

(All of these are what I'd use if I played now except for gens 8 - 9, those were my final teams in my first playthrough)

Quick break from Beidou posts to showcase my other Pokemon team arts! Also trying to see if it's better to post my reasons for Pokemon matching like this or just do it in the caption. Would appreciate some opinions.

The Captain in her younger years would learn how to fish for her own food, which would lead to her fated encounter with the golden Magikarp. The bond that these two develop is unbreakable; the red Gyarados willing to follow the Captain's and her crew's lead whatever ocean they intend to cross.

Featuring young Ningguang. Posting a short story soon 🙏
