Description Wow, such a creative title! I've totally outdone myself this time. Alternative title would be "The Ancient TM". Think about it, how did people teach their Pokemon new moves when they didn't have the modern technology? They must've had scrolls like this.

Another painting in the Japanese painting style. This one is a little simpler than the one I did earlier. I've always found ancient scrolls fascinating and especially the ones that describe different techniques etc. When I got this idea I just had to do it - and with Mienshao because he's my favourite fighting type Pokemon and one of my favourites from the 5th gen. At first this didn't seem to come out as I wanted. Actually, it was pretty damn hard to draw those poses and make them fit Mienshao's anatomy. Now when I look at this I think it came out pretty much as I wanted.
Oh, and before anyone starts asking, the moves pictured in the scroll are some kung fu moves I found when I Google'd 'kung fu' so I'm not sure if they're actual kung fu moves. Google isn't too reliable. Well, at least they look like martial art moves and I think it's enough. Kung fu moves painted in a Japanese style is another issue...

Anyway, I hope you like it!
More of this style coming soon.

The ancient TM... That wouldยดve been an awesome title xDDD That style is epic. It really looks like an old scroll ^^ and that moves suit Mienshao well...

I like the Japanese style you done them in, I wish I could paint like that.

I love meinshao for exactly that reason. Although I'm a big fan of the fighting type in general, Mienshao is the only one that's seemed like an actual animal to me.

Mienshao is one of the few fighting types I actually like. It is quite unique and I like the idea a lot, too.

I like the idea of "Ancient TM." Reminds me of Avatar, how they learn old Waterbending moves on scrolls.

Mei Ling is actually a pretty nice name for a Mienshao. And I agree, Mienshao would definitely be a perfect Pokemon to run a fighting dojo.
