Warm Hug on a Deluxe-Cold Day

“Torchic has a place inside its body where it keeps its flame. Give it a hug - it will be glowing with warmth.”

-Pokémon Sapphire Pokédex Entry

So as is probably obvious, I’m very hyped about Rescue Team DX and am thinking I’ll run through with my original team from Red Rescue Team: Danny and Razr- Team Emberites!

I wanted to make art of the two but wasn’t sure what, until the subject of hugs between pokémon came up in a chat+sparked me to remember a thing about torchic~

And also Danny here is a girl, she is a “the one I played in a PMD game” and thus a self-insert after all (;
