I did these a while ago. I was just messing around to see what pokemon, that knew flame wheel, would look more interesting on a mock team. However I didn't like how stubby Quilavas legs were, like the upper left one, and instead made him look like a mini doberman. He's a variation in the quilava species, such as how I have variations of others like pikachu and sableye. Sorry if they aren't too well colored, I tried to make him look strange from firelight.
Meet Rikki a random quilava who is named after an awesome character in Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. That dog rocks, though I wish we learned how he learned the Zettsou-Tenrou-Battouga, it's a wolf move so it likely wasn't easy. Weed and Tesshin had to train for so long to understand it but Rikki and Gin pulled it off mortally wounded and on the fly!
Anyway Ricki is the member on my mock team for a pokemon comic battling club (Should I join, it's really slow...) that I saw the other day. He's the most energetic and strongest member, until Syrx the lucario came along. Now he tries to prove himself even more, blazing his fire to extreme heats to try and earn the top spot on the team once more. So basically his insecurity and pride drives him to grow stronger. Maybe he's not too much like Rikki, but I still like the name alot. He loves to go nuts with his flamewheel to confuse opponents and it reminds me of the Battouga so...

Long text is long.
