#my first thought was Sloe based on the blackthorn berry (and it’s gin is even a red color) but I’m still workshopping it

wasn’t able to doodle as much as I'd like to lately from projects (and totally bc I didn’t get absorbed into a rarepair which i may or may not post later) but here’s my take on a hypothetical ancestor for lance on his appreciation week! a grandpa who has a lot of gyarados theming around him 🐉🌊

#kagoodles #ChampionLanceWeek2023 #champion lance #lance pokemon #a bit of clair (blue hair + ponytail) a bit of lance (the spikes + the eye color and gsc shoulder pad things) its their peepaw!!! #honestly. stumped on a name for hypothetical peepaw #my first thought was Sloe based on the blackthorn berry (and it’s gin is even a red color) but I’m still workshopping it #also kudos to the hc of lance being the shiny gyarados of the family that’s just canon to me now #peepaw got a prosthetic hand bc training ain’t easy but kindness is not without effort #but he’s chill and gets along with a lot of village kids #he's a guy who would have a bunch of stories to tell people and draws a lot of crowds for it #in a game setting he'd be like. funny mentor who's also one of the big late game opponents to overcome as a test of strength #otherwise he'd probably give the player a funny item of importance or just something out of the blue like a rare candy or a star piece #“you like candy kiddo? so do pokemon! why not spread the fun around? :D”
