Pokemon Art Project 2025 - Secret Oasis

Lairon, now Aggron, has reached the oasis at last. All the perilous journeying through the scorching desert has left him with a relaxing reward: a nice cool bath to soothe his hot armor. Take it easy Aggron, you deserve this rest. And to think, he started this journey only recently as a curious baby Aron! What is going on with this desert?

Remember Chikorita? Well she’s grown up a bit since we last saw her, and on top of that, she’s found her way to the Oasis! Thanks to help of the Unown paintings she found in the canyon, she was tipped off to their presence in the area. With some clever stealth and reconnaissance, she spotted some Unown hovering their way through the desert. She made herself known and they took kindly to her. Bayleef mentioned the symbols from the canyon and they obliged her with directions to the oasis. They sensed her curiosity and fulfilled her wish to seek and know the truth of the desert’s call! How amazing is that. Now she is having some fun exploring the lush forest of the oasis. What will she find?

Meganium basks in the high sun of the Oasis. Serenity engulfs her in the tranquil warmth, the warm breeze flutters her flowery mane. Finding this place has given her peace, healing from a trainer that released her into the wild for not being as good as she hoped in battle. Imagine that, a starter pokemon that was chosen, given time and care and creating an attachment to their trainer; only to be discarded because they found another pokemon that was better in battles. Poor thing deserves this R&R. I think she will stay here a while

Reminds me a little of the non-holo version of Meganium from Expedition

The legendary Mew was been rumored to have been seen here in the desert for centuries. Spotty eyewitness accounts made for juicy stories to tell amongst the locals over tea in neighboring towns, but nothing tangible had ever been captured showing the mythical ancestor Pokemon existence for years and years. Until today.

I had my camera shooting some B roll of this beautiful oasis landscape above the palm canopy. To tell you the truth I hadn’t seen a thing or noticed anything in person, but upon reviewing the video footage, I noticed a blur quickly dart across the screen for the briefest of moments. I was curious as to what it was, so I slowed down the footage and took a closer look. When I tell y’all my stomach almost leapt out of my throat when I paused on this frame.

Without even being aware I had captured evidence of THE MEW. Even though it was for a split second, I had unintentionally obtained concrete evidence of the legend that’s only been spoken of for thousands of years. I am overjoyed!

A curious and disturbing sight was caught on my trail cam as I slept in my tent for the night after a long day of photographing the oasis. I remember being stirred from my sleep by a noise around 3am, but was too sleepy to register what it was before the noise had stopped. I figured I should check the trail cam to see if anything happened during the night and lo and behold: this Froslass came across the FOV around 3am. Right around the time of the noise.

Needless to say I was spooked. But also amazed. Given the myth surrounding Froslass and her freezing handsome men she finds and displaying them in their dwellings like trophies, feels like it was a close call.

Wait, am I ugly? Is that why she went on her way? Oh no…

Your pieces are so lovely & your consistency has really inspired me to make more!

I’m particularly drawn to the Lairon and now a new fav: Bayleaf! I could see both of these being incredible as large paintings!

At long last.

All of a sudden, something like an otherworldly trumpet booms in the distance. Every Pokemon in the desert stands at attention, their gaze fixed on the heavens, hearts trembling. With fearful anticipation, the trumpets swell. The searing sunlight barrels down as the clouds burst and separate. Revealing utter glory.

The guardian of all, creator of all Pokemon, the source behind all the strange happenings we have witnessed, and the voice behind the Call of The Desert and keeper of the Secret Oasis: Arceus, descends.

Bathed in sunlight, Arceus reveals itself to all who have heard its call. It sends out a telepathic message to those who can hear, thanking them for listening and for coming to the oasis. Arceus calls them all to the middle of the oasis to eat together and fellowship.

The Pokemon recounted their journeys through the wilds of the desert and about what all they overcame to get here. They also mentioned how they quickly evolved and adapted along the way, much to their amazement. While Arceus did not provide answers as to why all these phenomena took place, they gave thanks in hearing their stories and conceded that they wanted to meet those dedicated to seeking out the source behind the call. Arceus took much joy in listening to their stories and taking it all in. Arceus was glad, as were all the Pokemon gathered there that day.

Wow, this is so so well done! Amazing work and probably my favorite one so far! Is there also some lore associated with this artwork? Like, is that an active volcano in the desert?

Again, simply brilliant! Thanks a lot for sharing.

Cheers!
