Description

Robed figures (which Mewtwo could only assume were Repository Watchmen) shouted excitedly from tiny windows within the building’s spires as Akiva lifted up the mask which he had been keeping safely close to him. Their enthusiastic response was quick to dwindle into troubled stares and stiffened limbs upon sight of the psychic feline which accompanied the Seer and his Noctowl. Regardless, they made no move to prevent Mewtwo from entering with Akiva, and he landed gently beside the man and his Pokémon upon an outstretched platform which looked to have been designed for air-bound arrivals.

A young woman stood upon the platform nearest the repository entrance, hands clasped together and resting across her front. Her body was clothed in a dress of deepest burgundy with slightly puffed sleeves and a large white collar, while her head was completely encompassed in a flat, round hat of similar colour with a jewel embedded into the front. Mewtwo felt his heart skip a beat upon sight of the woman and her attire – it bore a startling resemblance to that of the nurse he had taken from a Kantoan Pokémon Centre and used as a representative of his intentions against her will. Surely this was not a coincidence.

“Well, here we are,” Akiva accounted, stepping from his Noctowl’s back. “Thanks, Breacher. You did a wonderful flying job once again.” The Seer returned the Pokémon to its Pokéball and secured the article upon his belt before turning away from Mewtwo – seemingly to leave him behind.

Where are you going? Mewtwo asked hurriedly. There was a note of fear in his voice which sounded quite unusual coming from a creature of his size and power.

“I have to take the Mask of Talasi to the artefacts chamber,” Akiva explained. “But I shall be back very shortly. In the meantime, why not put your queries forward to Sister Wakanda?”

‘Sister’…?

“Yes,” the deep blue-eyed woman replied softly, adjusting her hat and eyeing Mewtwo in a calm yet thorough manner. “My name is Megan, but here we refer to each other as brothers and sisters - for while we may not be related directly by blood, we are related in our ideals, hopes and purpose.”

Related by purpose... Mewtwo pondered this concept. This is something I never considered possible.

This is part of a set of full size illustrations created for a "Fleeting Shadow" mini-mag that Nick Roberts kindly had published with Pokemon World magazine Issue 98.

I'm really pleased how these turned out, though it was an interesting challenge getting them made over the course of a week and a half.

One thing I'm particularly proud of with these illustrations is that I drew everything. I didn't trace backgrounds in any way - it was all done from scratch.

This is probably one of the best illustrations yet x3

I'm loving the detail and the blur to add focus to "Megan" and the other people passing by.
