I had wanted to upload this when I uploaded it to my other art gallery's but, FA was down =(. Anways this is a picture That I uploaded on Deviant art for a contest(contest is now over) run by guardianofire. Done with Prisma Color Markers and Crayola Color Pencils. I think I made Arcanine a little smaller than he should be, but I was too afraid of ruining the picture so I didn't change him. Besides I like the way it looks now, even if some of the angles are a bit off xD. Both of the pokemon in the pictures have a special collar that Their trainer made for them.

here is a picture of it.
The same symbol is also on her shirt. Its her own simple mark that she came up with.

I do not own Pokemon but the characters in this picture and the art do belong to me.<b>Trainer</b>
<u>Name:</u> Katia
<u>Age:</u> 16
<u>Height:</u> 5ft, 2in
<u>Weight:</u> 135 lbs
<u>Eye Color:</u> hazel
<u>Hair Color:</u> Black fading to brown, then to red. (natural color: brown)
<u>About:</u> The youngest of three girls, she was born and raised on the outskirts of Fuchsia City. Her parents run a small, natural reserve like recovery center for Pokemon. Unsure of what she wanted to do in the future she decided to go on a Pokemon journey of her own design at the age of thirteen. With a slight dislike for the pokedex and her own thirst for knowledge, she began to observe the Pokemon she saw along her journey. Sketching them in her sketchbook and making notations on their behaviors, attacks, natural habitats, etc. With her knowledge of herbs and natural healing techniques she learned from her parents, she helped injured Pokemon when she found them.
<u>Personality:</u> She is slightly shy around people she doesn't know, when she firsts meets them, but once she gets to know you, she is very outgoing and talkative. She is a fun loving and kind person, but also a firecracker when pushed to the limit. Be careful not to piss her off, because when she is mad she will let you know. She is not afraid to speak her mind.

<b>Pokemon in Picture</b>
<u>Name:</u> Kira
<u>Age:</u> 7
<u>Height:</u> 6ft
<u>Weight:</u> 332.5 lbs
<u>About</u> Kira was given to Katia when she was nine, as a Growlith, by a passing trainer. He was only a few weeks old at the time. His sight has become slightly poorer in the past few months of thier travels but that does nothing to impede his ability to protect Katia. He is fiercely loyal to Katia and a little overprotective. If you want to be friends with Katia, then you will have to meet his approval.
<u>Personality</u> He is a little gruff around the edges, but when you get down to it, he is a real softy. When he feels that Katia is threatened or in Danger he can be a little hot headed(this has mellowed a bit over the years).

<u>Name:</u> Senna
<u>Age:</u> 3
<u>Height:</u> 2ft, 6 1/3in
<u>Weight:</u> 55 to 60 lbs
<u>About</u> Katia found Senna when she was thirteen in the forests surrounding the reserve. She was abandoned, whether by a trainer or her mother, it is unknown. At the time Senna was still a Meowth, and about a month old. When Katia found her, she was very sickly, malnourished, and small for her age. Katia brought her back to the reserve, where she nursed her back to full health. After katia's parents gave her a clean bill of health, Katia tried to return her to the wild, but she refused to leave Katia's side. After a bit of pleading and puppy dog eyes, Katia's parents let her keep the hyper little ball of fluff. Four months later she left with Katia and Kira on Katia's Pokemon journey. Because of her small size and her sickness early in her life, she is slightly smaller than the average Persian. Another oddity was the color of her fur. It was pure white with hints of a light tan around her muzzle, paws and the tip of her tail.
<u>Personality</u> She is a very hyper and energetic feline. She loves attention and cuddles with anyone, if given the chance. She is very personable, but if you harm Katia, she can be just as viscous as a mother protecting its young.
