#Just for the extra angst of Cress having this feeling he's not a good Pokemon battler and not very confident in his skills

I was looking directly at a reference while drawing these and I still somehow convinced myself he had long hair. Whatever, he's pretty.

A-Z Isekai'd Cress deign by @acfan120 really got me in some kinda way and I couldn't help wanting to draw him. I also have thoughts on story for him but I'm not gonna be annoying with that rn. Maybe someday.

Bonus my warmup doodle:

#Emile's Arts #Pokemon #Pokemon Fanart #Oh it's been YEARS sense I've done non-selfship related fanart #DILF Cress got to me dude I needed to draw him #I have no idea how I convinced myself so wholly he had long hair but you know what whatever #Commit I say it looks good let it sit #Hhhh I tired to make the chain of his monocal look like tear drops #...Okay I said I wouldn't say my thoughts but like look listen okay look #To me he's either working at Parfum Palace (constructed 300 years ago so probably not if we're going the full 3000 back) #Or the Battle Chateau BEFORE it's a Battle Chateau and is just. I guess a regular Chateau??? #I personally image it's pre-BW2 era Cress when the Straiton Trio hit their slump being the weakest gym leaders #Just for the extra angst of Cress having this feeling he's not a good Pokemon battler and not very confident in his skills #And also just. What'd loosing their brother would do to an already down in the dumps Chili and Cress #I like to imagine through a side quest with him he eventually regains his confidence with battling #And maybe even establishes the Battle Chateau? that'd be fun~ #Those are like my basic story thoughts again I don't wanna. #I don't wanna go too crazy with it kfdjgkdfjgk #I just always really liked Cress he's sooooo cool to me <3 #Reliving middleschool nonsense with this one boys and girls #SORRY TO AC FOR THE TAG!!! I JUST LIKE HIM!!!!
