Yes~ The Persian cast thunderbolt. I wasn't entirely sure how to represent this better.

(In the show they have the lightning coming from the other user, but I prefer not to do this since to me, it kinda looks like both are being electrocuted- and since Persian is not a natural electric pokemon, it doesn't make sense to me for it to be 'immune' to electricity that's learned via TM).

Most things I've read have said that it's best to not have to explain everything in the panels, but it's very hard getting the hint across without having to put in text (eg. having a "thunderbolt!" word bubble for persian, when pokemon don't say the names of their attacks most of the time).

If I may make a bit of advice for a cat his posture doesn't look aggressive enough.

Specifically they speak a lot with their ears. If both ears were facing back it should do the job.

But otherwise the art is great.

The persian is meant to be cautious, not just purely aggressive. If this body language is still wrong, feel free to let me know~

He is not looking to actually fight either pokemon though. He is just trying to steal a couple of bites of food, and in the mean time (or until things change), is just wary of them.

Well ears back means many things for a cat.

Aggressive, nervous, and scared. Or focusing on prey or something to attack.

In that scenario he'd probably have his ears back too.

But as noted the art is still great.
