“Allow me to trim your hedges!”

Meet René Chaparral, Arno’s gardening partner. Like Arno, he views the tension between grass- and fire-type to be misguided, arguing that they ought to live together in harmony in recognition of their natural interdependence.

René has a bit of an advantage to Arno in that he doesn’ have to be careful not to set his work on fire. He also has unique insights into the “feelings” of plants that Arno simply lacks, but that’s to be expected, isn’t it? Also, he may, despite his type disadvantage to Arno, have a unique ability that allows him to power up using fire rather than being weak to it …

Here, we see him climbing a rock wall to ease some stress from a day’s work in the victory garden. When he’s not gardening or doing other work, he likes to partake in more acrobatic pastimes like climbing or parkour. His body certainly shows for this!

This pool is intended to keep the posts together and show the progression from sketch to finished product.
