Description

Name: Makoto
Species: Ludicolo
Gender: Male
Nature: Docile
Ability: Rain dish
Attacks:
- Rain Dance
- Nature Power
- Hydro Pump
- Mega Drain
Background:
When she was still a child, Fumiko found Makoto as a Lotad in a pond near her home. He was very scared and swam away from her at first. She began to visit the pond often, talking to him and bringing food to share, and eventually gained his trust. One day, he crawled out of the water to sit by Fumiko, and she was finally able to touch him. Since then, the two have become inseparable, and Makoto fully evolved to become the powerhouse of her team.

Makoto generally moves slowly and deliberately. However, he can be surprisingly quick and agile in battle. He may look rather frail, but he has an extremely tight grip and is the strongest member of Fumiko's team.

Like most Ludicolos, Makoto also enjoys music. However, he prefers more sweet, gentle tunes. That's not to say that he hasn't been caught dancing to stronger beats, but he completely loses himself in soft, flowing music. His favorite food is bitter melon, and he likes nothing better than to curl up next to Fumiko with a pile of them, and listen to her read or play her shamisen.

He is silent, although it is not known for sure if he is mute or just doesn't like to talk.


----------------------------------

Hey everyone! I'm just putting this up here to let you all know I'm alive! School has just been a kick in the pants lately, and that coupled with the fact that I've been obsessed with editing Aywas pets lately (even though I don't have the time for it) means I haven't been up to much lately.

However! With the release of Pokemon Black & White creeping up on me, I've gotten back into thinking about realistic Pokemon again! Like with Slowking, Ludicolo was one of my least favorite designs that I wanted to try and make more likable (for me). Lately, I've been rather obsessed with Japanese legend due to a new story idea that I've been working on, so my interest in Kappas has also sprung back to life. Obviously, Ludicolos are somewhat derived from the Kappa legend (and Mexican sombreros... but... yeah. :|), so I just tried to work mostly off of that!

And then I got the idea to come up with teams for some of my family members. The character mentioned in Makoto's information up there, Fumiko, is based off of my grandma, and most of her Pokemon are quite worthy adversaries in battle. She is from Okinawa in real life, and is very proud of her culture, so I wanted to choose a team that reflected that. So, a Ludicolo was an obvious choice for one of the members.

ANYWAY, so here's a kind of sloppy reference for Makoto with a bit of information about Ludicolos in general as well. :)

EDIT: Whoops! Forgot to mention- the texture is from [link]
