Description
Inspiration: George Washington, Goulong (a highly venerated dog dragon in Chinese mythology), American Foxhound, this definition of nobility: the quality or state of being noble in character, quality, or rank

This guy was probably one of the fun I had making a Pokemon in a while, but that didn't stop them from being challenging. The biggest question was how could I make this look like a cute and humble, but powerful mythical Pokemon based on my inspiration without overdoing the design? I think I achieved it, but I'm not 100% sold on the eyes. They were supposed to be a subtle reference to Washington formerly fighting for the British, but I don't know. With all of the blue, they kind of stand out like a sore thumb.

UPDATE: I decided to give this guy a moderate redesign. Now the eyes look much better on them.

Name: Vernerong [ver-neh-wrong] (Mount Vernon + venerate + long)
Type: Dragon/Fighting
Category: Precedent Pokemon
Ability: Intimidate or Bulletproof (HA: No Guard)
Signature Move: Prime of Drakes
Category: Special
Type: Dragon
Power: 175
Accuracy: 85%
PP: 5 (max 8)
The user attacks by firing a barrage of dragon-headed beams at the target from its horn. This may also harshly lower the target's Attack stat.
Dex Entries:
It is said that the most powerful dragon-type Pokemon proceeded from this one. It is highly respected by all.
In ancient times, this Pokemon once led a small region to freedom from tyrannical forces. For almost a decade, the Pokemon in said region acknowledged it as their humble ruler.
The scars and tears on its body are from its fight for freedom against a powerful Pokemon. It embraces them with content, knowing it could never faint in battle.
