Description So while I was giving my other Pokemon characters love and attention, I totally forgot about my Espeon Saiko.
Hoping to fix this mistake, I drew Saiko again and updated to just a bit by coloring her hair a nice light shade of violet, and giving her an actually clothing style she can wear.
I when with the sexy kimono wearing assassin route for her, I think it works for Saiko in the long run.

Rich’s Notes:

Saiko, my lovely little Espeon, I know most people would ask me why I’d have another Psychic Type on my team if I already have Tetsuo on my team; but I like Psychic Types a whole lot so shut up.
When I started my first adventure to Kanto I got my first Eevee from some random person in a condominium in Celadon City, I evolved her into a Jolteon who I named Blitza.
Sadly after her run in with the Green Devil… well, she was so badly beaten and broken up that I had to leave her in Kanto with the care of Professor Oak as I left for to go back home in Unova.
I really did want to leave poor Blitza, but I didn’t want to move and drag her all the way from Kanto to Unova, it would cause her too much pain.
After a few months for a nice long month, I took the few able members on my team, Tenka, Coco, Lassy, and Tetsuo with me to Johto.
After fighting against that bitch Whitney, her blasted Miltank, and getting my Plain Badge in Goldenrod City, I met this computer tech whiz kid named Bill.
He was so engrossed within his tech that he almost didn’t notice me, soon realized that I was the latest Kanto Champion.
Billy-Boy geeked all over himself and ask me if I wanted this Eevee egg, of course I said yes and took the egg for myself.
The egg later hatched in Ecruteak City where to my surprise the little female Eevee was a shiny.
At first I didn’t quite know what to do with her, at that point in time there were 5 know Eeveelutions, I already had a Jolteon and Vaporeon, didn’t need a Flareon with Tenka by my side.
So I decided that I’d get an Espeon seeing how I’m sure Tetsuo would like to have another Pokémon with his same typing to have conversations with, with that settled, I name her Saiko.
I think my plan worked, because naturally little Saiko was drawn to Tetsuo.
Tetsuo brushed her off most of the time, but started paying attention to her when she started learning how to use so Psychic abilities, which isn’t normal for an Eevee to know, but I guess that meant she was getting closer and closer to evolving to an Espeon.
Tetsuo later became Saiko’s own personal mentor teaching her how to control her newly found Psychic powers.
I was amazing with how closely Saiko followed Tetsuo’s movements and Psychic skills, they looked like mirror images.
During my fight with the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City, Morty for my Fog Badge, Saiko evolved in the middle of the final battle.
Morty thought that this would be an easy battle seeing how Espeon is a Psychic Type and Psychics are weak to Ghosts.
That would have been the case most of the time, but Saiko’s training with Tetsuo paid off of she knew Shadow Ball and Shadow Claw, making quick work of Morty’s team.
She was overjoyed knowing that she was able to get as strong as she was thanks to Tetsuo.
I like to believe that the teach/student bond that Saiko had with Tetsuo helped out Tetsuo in the long run to become a little more friendly and less reclusive, the people of Johto noticed that the “Green Devil” wasn’t really as bad as all the Kanto rumors said he was.
Saiko may have learned how to use her Psychic powers from Tetsuo; she soon developed a more sneaker fighting style from Shade.
While training with Shade, Saiko learned how to conceal weapons, and started using weapons like a paper umbrella with a hidden blade in the hilt, a paper fan with three smaller blades in the fan itself, and a small blade on her back ribbon strap.
She also started wearing a white Kimono over her one piece suit, which throws off a lot of her opponents that fight against her with her delicate looks and beautiful presents; that soon leads to a swift blade strike against the flesh.
In the years of my traveling to place to place, Saiko has somewhat turned into the wise sage lady of the groups, often giving out a bunch of daily idioms and proverbs.
She also meditates often to hone her Psychic powers and keep them at a high level.
Whenever she is relaxing, Saiko can be found in her room reading her many books from her giant library like room.
Saiko is a great member on my team; she is so wise and mystic like, and deadly quick and strong like a shinobi.

The work on Saiko wasn't that difficult to do, her colors are simple enough.
The only thing that was hard to think off was the color on her kimono, I just decided to make it white and be lazy, but I think it fits her.
I'll remind myself to keep drawing Saiko a little bit more in the futrue.

I'm just here for the kimono >.> it's a nice shade of green though. Makes me think of woodlands. And Nagato.

Psychic types. Those were a pain. Its a good point of contrast for Tetsou though. Does get a bit more interested in the personality of Saiko however; kinda curious if she is more remorseless then Tetsou in some ways. The way you've presented her as am assassin of sorts makes me think of personal philosophies, in that the person can commit an act because they believe they are doing nothing wrong, or they are acting in a way that's natural to them. You've said Tetsou tries to fight for control to stop himself too far; kinda curious if Seiko is a polar opposite of that trait.

Also on an off note, the name made me think Seiko from Corpse Party.

I wouldn't say Saiko is more remorseless than Tetsuo is, I just think that she doesn't hold herself back as Tetsuo does from time to time.
Sometimes she may end a fight quickly with some sneaky tactics but that's just Saiko think two steps ahead.
However, with the next picture I'm working on, you'll see what happens when Tetsuo doesn't hold himself back and is allowed to go all out.

Don't tell me; a big smear on the floor and some parts over here, there and everywhere.

Oh goodness no!
That's a little too violent for my tastes...
No, there will be blood, but not dismemberment, and or his opponent disappearing into a fine red mist.
I'll just say this, what Tetsuo does looks like a moment out of Dragonball Z, most particularly the Frieza Saga.

I feel so stupid right now. when i read your fight with the Gym Leader of Ecruteak City, with Morty for your Fog Badge where Saiko evolved in the middle of the final battle I was wondering how the heck that happens. the last game i played it requires the sun shard. the game I was playing was Pokemon XD: Gale of darkness (on the gamecube) because I wanted to go back and replay it. ironically I some how forgot how I kept 2 eevee's with me as i hatched eggs and kept going back to the ribbon society in diamond to level up the friendship to get espeon and umbreon. also i have the pokedex that states it by friendship not a stone.... I feel like such an idiot >.<

I gotta say her look is defiantly a good tactic to use in battle. I can honestly see 90% (minimum) of the males whom face her trying to arrange a date then battle because she looks so cute and innocent. she doesn't give a deadly vibe she seem's like some cute ditz. so yeah that right there is a good move on her. tho being a psychic type it's no surprise she'd know how to use mind games to turn the tables in her side. it is a bit strange tho she already began to learn psychic type moves before her evolution. doubt it is possible in the actual game but story wise it gives her a stronger character showing her desire to become an espeon early in life rather then her master choosing for her (which is done most the time). it does make me wonder if she had somehow evolved into any other type of the eeveelutions would she still of retained her psychic skills or would the evolution of forced them to be forgotten?

Actually it isn't impossible for Eevee to learn Psychic moves before it fully evolves.
If bred with certain Pokemon Eevee can learn Synchronize and Stored Power, granted they are Egg Moves that have to be passed down from parent to offspring but it is possible.
Even if the Eevee doesn't evolve into an Espeon, the other Eeveelutions can still hold on to those Psychic moves, so long as they aren't forgot by overwriting it with another move.

As for Saiko, the Kimono girl look I thought could fit her well, fooling others to think she is cute and docile, but she can strike when they least expect it.
Also, I guess it didn't help that I was watching Mortal Kombat videos while drawing Saiko, kinda took some inspiration from Princess Kitana.

really? huh never knew that I've always used ditto to be the baby maker for any eggs I needed. I'll have to tinker with better matches next time i play and see what moves I can pass to other pokemon eggs

princess kitana, damn she sounds so familiar but I haven't played the games in years and haven't seen the movies even longer

Its nice to see her again. I love it when you bring some of you past character and put them into your improve style. Also she reminds me of some of Jade and Kitana from Mortal Kombat. ^^

Heh!
Jade from Mortal Kombat, yeah she does kinda look like she could have the style of fighter ninja lady.
I'm quite glad that she turned out a good as she did honestly, I think that I was able to give her some more personality.
