RE: Avatars and Art v.2. Read the rules. Simisage, Simipour added.
Forgot to post this! xD Thanks to DNA for reminding me. Not too long ago I got around to finishing the Speed Dragon in my Attack / Defense / Speed Dragon Fakemon Trio. (I posted the other two a while ago, so if you don't remember them search the thread for "Impertogon" and "Palisaegon.") Here it is:
Exsonigon (Expeditious + Sonic + Dragon)
Speed Pokémon
DRAGON / NORMAL
Ability: Speed Boost
"This mythical Pokémon is the embodiment of speed. Its insane alacrity is said to near light speed at its peak."
Stats:
HP / ATK / DEF / S.ATK / S.DEF / SPEED
100 / 120 / 80 / 100 / 80 / 200
Moves:
- Quick Attack
- Quick Guard
8 Me First
17 Dragon Claw
24 Agility
31 Swift
38 Double Team
45 Dragon Dance
54 Extremespeed

A move that strikes before all others. Has a chance to boost the user's Speed by one level.

The concept has been ready since Impertogon's and Palisaegon's concepts were ready, but the design is what took the most time. Countless designs were tossed before finally ending up with this one. From the beginning, I knew I wanted to base its design off of a real-life animal known for moving quickly, and immediately a roadrunner came to mind. The similarities between Exsonigon's design and a roadrunner are probably very evident (at least, I hope they are). I'm pleased with the end result.
I decided to go with Speed Boost for its ability to really solidify its place as the fastest Pokémon. It certainly doesn't need the extra Speed, but I just imagined Exsonigon gradually gaining speed as it neared the speed of light... And the choice was easy from there.
Its signature move, Burst Dash, does strike before every single other move in the game.
