Description
This is for PokeVenture, which is pretty much an OCT but it puts more emphasis on storytelling from the pokemon's POV, and you only get eliminated if you don't upload your part by the deadline. I encourage you guys to join, it seems like it's going to be a lot of fun. :>Name: Formula
Gender: Female
Species: Aron
Type: Rock/Steel
Level: 32
Nature: Timid
Individual Value: Often scatters things.
Abilities:
Sturdy
Horn Drill, Fissure, Guillotine, and Sheer Cold have no effect.
Rock Head
Prevents Aron from receiving any recoil damage from its attacks, excluding Struggle.
Personality / History:
Formula was born deep in the Granite Cave near Hoenn's Dewford Town, daughter of her herd's patriarch (as the patriarch is the only one with breeding rights), the toughest Aggron for miles around, known by his half-horn. Half-horn's past is unclear, but it is speculated that he was once owned by a trainer because of his great disdain for humans or human-owned pokemon and because of his TM moves.
Anyhow, you could say that Formula is the pink mareep of her herd. Unlike her fearless father and her determined mother, she prefers to escape (or hide during) a dangerous situation if she can and let others deal with it. That might make her seem lazy, but the truth is, there's a scared little thing inside of that sturdy armor.
I might also add, she tends to blunder and is a bit of a klutz. More than once has she been the origin of a domino affect, causing several members of her herd to trip at once, much to the scorn of her father. She tends to be a loner, as well, always eating alone and hiding behind rocks.
Being the only aron in the herd gives little comfort, and her mother is the one who comes closest to understanding her. All her siblings had evolved before her, although she had reached the required level, 32. Her mother told her it was because she had yet to prove herself. She still had to do something that would trigger her body to transform into the next stage in her evolution.
But what really lies under her shell? Hidden bravery? Secret strength? No, I doubt it. But because of her father's blood, she has extreme loyalty to her herd, despite the fact that they are less than loving towards her.
The Situation:
You know Team Rocket, always dishing out trouble. They've come out with a new and gruesome concept: pokearmor. It's an unfair added protection for their pokemon, as well as a game corner prize, worth 6000 coins. Now here's where the gruesome part comes in: the armor comes from a pokemon itself, disguised by paint and designs (such as the Team Rocket logo). And what pokemon have better armor than aggron and lairon?
You heard me. They're making armor for pokemon. Out of aggron and lairon hide. The search for these pokemon has brought Team Rocket to the Granite Cave, where they plan to capture all the aggron and lairon they can, not paying much attention to the smaller, softer armors of the arons.

I tried to keep as close to your design as I could.
It's too bad, it would have been a neat story i'm sure.

thank you so much, I was afraid I'd stylized her too much for an OCT. C|
I hope so as well! Nidorino is one of my favorite pokemon, and yours seems like an interesting character. (:

No such thing as TOO MUCH stylizing
I think it's a very cool trait to be able to do it and still have it resemble the original character
Oh? thank you!

Thanks c: Yeah, I always find it fun to stylize and throw my own flare in there rather than just using the pokemon designs. |D
you're welcome 8D

haha, thank you. Yes, gruesome indeed! Kind of crazy if you ask me; I'd be scared if I was a lairon/aggron <:
