#gorigan

As per request on Discord, I made this. Yes, I created a horrible situation on purpose.

The final day of Round 2 matches is here! And with it, we're rounding off with the last contestants- including these two rather obscure characters from the spin offs!

This jolly man is a member of the sinister Societea, and true to his name and appearance, he has lots of tricks up his sleeve! He's first encountered entertaining children with his magic show, but after the Societea is revealed to the player, his tricks are put to villainous use. He conjures a confusing battleground, and fights with a far too large Crobat. While there isn't tons more to say about him, it's hard to deny a smile like that has charm!

“Where are all my crew? ...You wiped them out? Every last one?! Impossible! One kid took down all those Shadow Pokémon we made? Urrrgggh! In wrecking my factory, you smeared dirt all over my good name and standing! You've done it now! I'm steaming mad, and there's no forgiving that. Ever! Be prepared to drop!”

More XD with Gorigan! ...why they make him knuckle-walk in the official render, I can't remember if he actually does in the in-game animations but I can't see why they'd do two different takes on the same character like that... XD

💖🐶 Check out my pinned post for ways to support my artwork, among other things! 🐶💖

~Feedback helps to motivate my work, so let me know what you think! The best way to do that is via reblogs (both through tags and comments added onto the posts), but replies are great too! If you don’t have anything specific to say but still enjoy the art, a like is very much appreciated!~

Something that I made a couple of days ago! We need more stuff from the Shadow Pokemon series. My thoughts are that Eldes and Ardos see the other admins as a rag tag team of people.

That and in my head, because Loverina reads as a pre-teen, both herself and brother got in from a previous admin. Which one? I think it's a good guess which one, haha. *edit note, I think it may be Venux or Ein, idk

Also I apologies for my markers, they decided to explode on me while making art. But I love how the rest of it came out despite it doing this.

I've included the blank version underneath!

This is exactly it. That's who they are. I was even going to write a fun crack series about their shenanigans and bickering, with dumb titles such as "neon sign swing", "election elegy" and "crop top pop". But oh well.

Anyway, this is why the bosses stay out of things and go undercover elsewhere, I imagine. Evice and Greevil feel they're above and/or too old for this shit, and so they came up with the brilliant idea to have Nascour do the dirty work for them (said dirty work essentially boiling down to herding a sack of neurotic fleas).

In order to provide some additional tea and entertainment, I'm now going to reach into the headcanon bag of tricks and list some more relationship and rivalries.

➢ Everyone, literally everyone on Cipher's payroll hates or at least dislikes Ardos and Eldes, reason: nepo babies who get special privileges despite sucking at crime. Ardos thwarts any and all attempts by Eldes to improve relations by being an asshole.

➢ Miror B. despises all of his colleagues, without exception. He might have been able to at least positively acknowledge Snattle's knack for showmanship and """performance art""" if Snattle wasn't annoying as fuck.

➢ Snattle plays up the politician thing and purposefully annoys everyone because that's fun for him. Fucking with people is his favorite thing to do in life.

➢ Aside from his undying hatred for Snattle specifically, Gorigan is actually one of few with a baseline willingness to have a normal work relationship but regularly loses his shit for honestly understandable reasons, especially when he sees Snattle, Ardos or Eldes pick up a tool and attempt to use it.

➢ Lovrina is getting actively bullied by Ein who dismisses and belittles her due to her age, accent and lack of academic titles. In the past Venus bullied her also, but Ein was so vile to both of them that the ladies teamed up against him, which is widely considered a huge win for feminism.

➢ Ein hates people and humanity in general. He despises the fact that he can't live life in complete isolation and never cooperate (unfortunately for him, science is an inherently cooperative field and he actually relies on help from his colleagues far more than others). He and Colress talk shit about their evil teams in private.

➢ Venus pretends to be chill with everyone as long as they don't threaten her popularity, in which case she goes nuclear. She also hits on Ein constantly, though not out of affection - she does it because she's pissed that he's one of very few who dare not to love her more than life itself, a transgression that must be rectified by any means necessary (including violence).

➢ Dakim is done with everyone's shit, especially being bossed around by Ein.

➢ Nascour attempted to turn the Colo admin group into his personal cult friend group. He was successful with Venus (they genuinely get along because #slaytogetherstaytogether), Dakim (who is mega simping for him after losing a battle) and Ein (if homeboy had to pick one colleague to dislike the least, he would actually pick Nas due to their shared interest in evil freak science). Only Miror B. cockblocked his efforts, which is why Nascour now constantly shits on his dancing and bosses him around in a psychotic rage.

➢ Evice and Nascour absolutely despise each other for deeper lore reasons that I don't need to get into here. Just know that Nascour is plotting murder and Evice keeps calling him things that I won't repeat here (both to his face and in front of others).
