Description
Though UBF11 is drawing to a close and Artemis is only an NPC, I've had enough of feeling that this app is too sub-standard so I've redrawn the main pose, tidied up the data and cleaned up the Profile.UBF '11 : Artemis Rosewood
"Sometimes it's easier to see the light, when you stand partly in the darkness."
Basic Bio:
-Completed Hoenn and Sinnoh leagues. Defeated Steven Stone, lost to Cynthia's predecessor.
-Defeated Noland and Lucy of the Old Hoenn Battle Frontier.
-Artemis holds a Masters of Pokémon Science with Honours, majoring in Bellumology[*1]; which was obtained at Hearthome University. As part of her bachelor degree, she spent a few years as an aide to Prof. Birch. Fieldwork was never the same again.
-Despite it being her hometown, it's been years since Artemis' last spent the night Jubilife City.
-Artemis is sevely allergic to Combee Honey, in large doses it can cause a severe anaphylactic shock. An epipen is always on her person.
-Without her glasses, Artemis is virtually blind. Oddly enough, most brands of contact lenses severely irritate her eyes.
-Only close friends and family ever call her Arty.
-Similar to E4 Aaron, Artemis can commune with Dark-type Pokemon, just not in English. To a Dark type Pokemon, she sounds like a Zoroark but to everyone else, it's like Russian/Austrian gibberish.
-After speaking 'Darkish' Artemis gains a temporary Eastern European accent, which fades to her normal, slightly Oxford English accent after a few sentences.
Basic Bios of the team:
-K'rin[*2] is to Artemis, like Pikachu is to Ash. Except K'rin stays mostly disguised as a small human child (albeit with Zorua ears + tail) unless she's on the battlefield.[*3]
-Newton though once a pickpocket, aspires to be a lawyer. When she executes the move Foul Play, more often than not an "Objection" is part of her technique.
-Alice, despite her calm but curious demeanour, is a master of Physical humour, not just due to her Prankster ability. Best Friends with Newton.
-Rex was found beached close to Artemis' lab, near death with severe chemical burns from an unknown cause. Due to his past, he has major trust issues. Only Francesco knows that he's Ex-Aqua.
-Francesco has had a long and... technicolour past. He formerly served a ruthless trainer, though was abandoned when Artemis defeated said trainer. Can usually be found sparring with Rex. Oh, and do NOT call him Frank.
-Postino, is a parody of the King Of Bandit Jing character[*4]. He is his own Pokémon, despite being "caught" by an over-excited 10 year old Artemis. Has a knack for giving advice that proves essential to anyone he encounters, AND NO ONE SEEMS TO NOTICE OR MIND.[*5]

[*1](Battle Science. Take one part Physics, add some Biology with a dash of Chemistry and serve with a sufficient helping of Psychology. Best served with a glass of Fieldwork.)
[*2](Pronounced 'Carin' but with a slight pause between the 'Ca' and the 'rin'. Artemis sometimes calls her Kiri, as a sign of affection.)
[*3](That and K'rin doesn’t share exactly the same opinions on evolution as Ash's Pikachu, she just hasn't made up her mind yet.)
[*4](Until the UBF, Artemis didn't have a Krokorok. I wanted to give her one to round out her team, but I had lots of trouble naming him. A few days previously, I watched KOBJ for the first time, and developed a liking towards Postino. A sudden burst of quirkiness lead to Postino the Krokorok emerging, and soon I had written him into Artemis' backstory.)
[*5](Postino's bike is based on the typical style of those used during World War 2, since I couldn't find a reference for KOBJ Postino's bike. In the event that you actually need to draw it, as long as it's got that kind of style about it (as well as the courier company flag) and the colours remain in similar places, I don't mind how it looks. Still, how awesome is a Crocodile riding a Motorbike?)

Alright then. Sadly, I haven't really had a chance to draw him for the UBF so far. I just hope that when the time comes, I can do the parody justice.

Newton is indeed original. I've never seen a pokemon dressed like that (I noticed your on an app roll XD)

What can I say!? I've been going through them for a while now, making sure there aren't any major... contradictions betwixt the two, since they are about the same person.
I'm glad you like Newton! And worry not, she only keeps the gem during battle. The dry-cleaning bill is just too much otherwise.
