Gen 4: Hammerhead land sharks (...that fly?)

Gabite

🃏 Nuova Carta Pokémon: Gabite! 📦 Set: Mysterious Treasures

Out on a whim, I drew a Gabite for fun!

Name: Rhianna Tyde

Hometown: Undella Town (Unova)

Specialist Type: Water

Rhianna is a fun loving girl who adores Pokémon of all shapes and sizes, especially the marine sort. She's peppy, and that attitude is something that she exudes into all of her Pokémon. And to cap it all off she's a damn good Pokémon Trainer AND co-ordinator. Unfortunately, she's also the girl who accidentally introduced a population of Akkadian Gible into Undella Bay, so, uh, that comes with a little bit of infamy.

Rhianna can't help that she loves Gible though. They're so adorably chubby, and she can't help but want to hug them, and that love extend to their family members too. And don't think it's just Akkadian Gible, either. She'll hug any Gible, even if she's got a few scratches and bruises thanks to the common Sinnohan Gible's Rough Skin. She's even got a bright orange Gible from a region we've barely heard of! And the Gible seem to love her, parading around behind her whenever she's around. I guess it's better than chewing on the first thing they see, we guess.

But enough about that, we're here to talk about Rhianna as a trainer. It won't surprise you to learn that she specialises in the Water-type, nor that an Akkadian Garchomp opens that specialist team. This hulking brute seems positively rabid... until Rhianna turns up and gives it belly rubs, then its just a adorable pup. Her Ludiciolo exudes positive energy, dancing vigorously without any sign of tiring, while her Extydron take down foes with powerful jets of water and fire. Her Quagsire, meanwhile, may seem a little out of it, but that's only cos he's preparing to unleash a Tidal Wave of Muddy Water, and her Arctovish is a grumpy Mon, never content unless it is chewing on something... providing some competition with the parade of Gible often following Rhianna. Rounding things out, Rhianna's powerhouse is her Mega Evolving Tatsugiri, which has a powerful array of attacks at it disposal - especially when fending of Gible and Gabite that mistake it for food again.

As for her freeform team, Rhianna flaunt a Jynx with a melodic voice - unfortunately, Rhianna doesn't seem aware she does not match her Jynx's singing skills, accidentally deafening her team. Her Morpeko is another hungry Pokémon, and though powerful, spends more time battling the horde of Gible over food than training, which we suppose in itself is training. Her Krookodile, on the other hand, a cool customer content to bask in the sun when not called for battle, and her Clodsire is just a chill Pokémon that just minds its own business. Unfortunately, Rhianna has poisoned herself multiple times trying to give Clodsire hug, despite her Garchomp and Extydron trying to hold her back. Her Altaria, while a fierce battle, seems to large hang around to keep all this chaos in check, lulling the Gible to sleep with a harmonic Sing. And then there's her Primarina. Elegant and poised, it tries to be a positive influence on Rhianna, to some success, as Rhianna and Primarina hold their own in several Pokémon Contests. And in battle? Let that Gigantamax Form run wild!

Where I live, you can't find anything Pokémon-related in regular stores, only online. So I not only draw, but also sew on my own sewing pattern!
