This is my attempt to make a 'Edgy OC antagonist' for my gallery.

I took up the 'horned raichu' idea that gamefreak scrapped during the very early days of making the first pokemon games, to create a character that I could draw that would support and give my character 'growth'.

The unfortunate thing is I felt extremely conflicted drawing this, but continued anyway. One was inspiration, one part was peoples expectations and one was for the actual 'Diablochu' design. Not exactly sure what to call this fakemon evolution. Either way, I did it in the end because I wanted Aleister to become a reality.

Aleister is a Fire/Electric type evolution that used to live in Kobaan's treetop forest village ( I live in a great forest in a village of a network of treehouses ) Kobaan used to know Aleister, but they weren't familiarly associated, but being the 'defender' of his village, Kobaan looked out for the other raichu. There was a great fire; Aleisters treehouse was burnt down, Kobaan of course, by association, would leave the village to find Aleister, which led to a investigation of his property, his tracks and his past.

Aleister had turned out to be a shut in whose parents had died and he was a orphan who grew up alone and felt very angry, depressed and powerless due to the trauma of losing his family. Aleister was offered Styx Berry by a unforeseen presence in the undergrowth of the great forest in a promise of great power. Following, Kobaan would find a cave network and a breed of Diablochu/Devilchu who through generations had bred and follow a ritualistic ceremony associated with a 'Lone dead looking tree where if you buried your dead there, would eventually grow Styx Berry' in return.

Aleister had hence, gone on a journey to find more power; Kobaan in commitment with his village as his family, set out to find him, promising to bring him back. As Aleister went around the world, it had turned out Aleister had given Styx Berry to other pokemon, Dark Evolving them into more Stygian Pokemon, believing it was the next step in Pokemon evolution. They called themselves The Stygian and begun to fight in other pokemon territory throughout the land, burning down more forests, ecosystems and wildlife in their path.

Aleister and Kobaan have fought many times, Aleister utilizing a greatsword, whilst Kobaan equipped a sword and shield. The journey had led to many holy temples, dungeon trekking and searches for cure for the Styx Berry affliction. Kobaan continues to pursue Aleister, because the village is family; family is the number one rule. All Raichu are family; Kobaan proclaims himself the vanguard of his forest. This later extends to becoming a hero to the rest of the world and throughout.
