>>39871144this was originally the idea for a rival and I have no actual art for him, but I got a character in my head named something like Isaiah Horton.
He's a pokemon thief with a western motif going and thinks of himself as the hottest shit and a legendary outlaw. In truth he's kind of a klutz, doesn't make great tactical choices in battle, and generally would be about as much of a threat as Team Rocket in the Ashnime. Except Team Rocket can be taken seriously sometimes.
He doesn't let his losses weigh him down, and beneath the "I'm so cool I shit ice cream" demeanor, he shows a lot of love and care for his pokemon team which include:
>A Skarmory named 'Big Iron'>A Furret named 'Rio'>A Scrafty named 'Billy'>And a Quilava named 'Caliente'All of his pokemon he adopted after they were abandoned by their previous trainerHe hopes together they can all break out from the low living they've found themselves in and rise to be respected legends.
