The rewards for various things have been announced and I've decided what to do with them! Gaze in glory at the new additions or evolutions to my six teams! Note that I probably won't actually show most of these things happening, so the stories are here.

Team Ruin: They recieved an evolution scroll for E7, but I can't for the life of me choose who to give it to! Archeops and Krookodile are both two of my favorite Pokemon, and I love both of the characters as their respective species! Krookodile Rikku is just plain badass, it's what Rikku originally was, and I'd have the honor of having the only Krookodile in PMD. On the downside, the oddly shaped head and eyes are a pain in the ass to draw, and I had to take away one of Rikku's unique traits to get it to work okay (not having the band between his eyes). Archeops Arkae, on the other hand, is much easier to draw, perhaps even more than Archen Arkae, looks just as sweet as KrookoRikku, and was also what Arkae was originally designed as. The downside is that Arkae is 11 and having him be the tallest member of the team (if Relic's wings at full extention and Kaara's ears pointing up don't count) would be kind of awkward. So I'm leaving it up to you guys to decide. The poll has been closed, and Rikku is the winner!

Team Riptide: They get one evolution scroll for completing E7. It's going to La'ana and Sheldon in the present. Sheldon desperately wants to evolve with it, as does La'ana, but while fighting over it, it gets stolen by a little Wooper! The Wooper, surprisingly agile, outruns both La'ana and Sheldon back to Tao. He ducks for cover in Callahan's office while Callahan, seeing the Water type presenting a scroll while being with the all-Water Team Riptide, takes the scroll and adds the Wooper to the team roster. When asked its name, the Wooper responds, "Woo-PAH!" In fact, that seems to be all that Woopa can say, except for one other word: "Huggies!"

Team Shadows: They get one evolution scroll for completing E7, and Tsu will soon grab that hat in a task to come. Tsu's evolution was already revealed in E7 and I'm going to elaborate a bit more on it when I finally get around to their M7. His outfit does change though. The cloak got ripped in his battle with Bane during M7 and arm holes were ripped in it when he evolved suddenly. The luring cap got split in half during the battle too. He used the accessory voucher he got from M6 to have Gnasher smoothen it out and turn it into a set of spiked pauldrons. And that hat will be obtained in a soon-to-come task. The scroll went to Kip in the past, where he meets a cute little Snorunt named Anita. She instantly grew attached to him and began calling him "Shwoopy" and following him around. Sociophobic by nature, Kip hates the attention and wants nothing more than to be left alone. What will become of the little girl? Find out in M8.

Team Mango Tango: They got one evolution scroll for completing E7. This one went to Mangoya, but it's not like he can do anything with it. Pete's been in the past for a while now and Mangoya is starting to get lonely. He's been working at the Cafe ever since, continuing to bartend, but he's just not making any friends. The only 'mon he sees a lot of is Pooka, but he's not much help. One day, though, a new face enters the bar, a little Bidoof who walks on his hind legs. He comes up to the counter and plops down on a stool in front of Mangoya. Mangoya asks him what he wants, he says he forgets. He asks him where he came from, he says he forgets. He asks him what his NAME is, he says he forgets. No, no, wait! His name is Buck, and guess what he happens to be? A traveling nut salesman! It's a match made in heaven, and the two traveling salesmen become great friends and the forgetful, jolly Buck joins Team Mango Tango!

Team Awsome: They got one evolution scroll for completing E7, and Shellshocker will be picking up something secret in a task soon. The scroll this time went to Shellshocker who spared no time in using it to make himself more awsome. (Artist's note: I have no idea why, but I find drawing Carracosta ridiculously easy and fun. It's one of the more complicated, geometric, hard to draw emotions on Pokemon of Gen 5, yet it's one of the only ones that's really compatible with my style.)

The Stupid Name Squad: They got two evolution scrolls: one for completing E7, and one for completing the second half of E6. Both went to Pooka, who used them to evolve twice and finally realize his dream of being not stupid looking. And his even bigger dream of being able to hold his beer without having to balance it on his hoof! Pooka's Emboar design is a bit different from other Emboar in that he has jet black claws and eyebrows, but only faded dark gray fur. His other colors are faded as well, and he is a reddish orange all around instead of orange on top and red on the bottom. In addition, he has orange fur instead of black on his hands.
