Gym Leader Michael

Kroel Psychic Type Gym Leader, for
Gym Leader Michael

Bio: "Michael was born to a wealthy family of musicians and dancers, and strangely among trainers he had three eyes upon birth. However, guided by the encouragement and assistance of his four brothers, Michael put this abberation aside and started a carreer in pop music as a teenager. Since then, "Three-Eyed Mike" has become one of the most popular musicians in Kroel. During his travels, though, he also became very interested in Pokemon, especially the wonders and abilities of Psychic type Pokemon, so he vowed to become a Powermon trainer as well. His middle eye resembles that of his family pet, a PEEKYPEEKY, whose closeness to the family was probably the reason for this mutation, since with this eye he can see into other's minds and feelings, and so communicate with his Powermon without need of verbal commands. Thanks to the powerful combination of this unusual skill and the abilities of his Pokemon, his unpredictable battling style makes him a very difficult opponent to beat."

It's my Psychic-type Gym Leader, Michael
For those who don't see it straight away, he's based off - of course - the late Michael Jackson. R.I.P. Michael, you may not live on in our world but thanks to me you will live on in the Pokemon world
His clothes and badge are modeled after his signature Pokemon, PSIKOPSIKO. His Gym badge resembles PSIKOPSIKO's eye, and he has an overall color scheme of purple, black, white, and golden yellow, like PSIKOPSIKO's line. If you look closely, you can see that third eye like that badge on Michael's head as well, as I mentioned in the bio. So yeah, he's got three eyes. Like Combustion Man from Avatar I was thinking of using CHESIROOM as his signature Pokemon, but that would be a bit of a stretch, since 1.) he's Dark type and evil, 2.) he replaces EXPLOUD, a Normal type, while PSIKOPSIKO replaces GRUMPIG, a Psychic type, and 3.) PSIKOPSIKO lookes a lot more like a Pokemon and has a more amiable personality About the only thing that relates his Pokemon is that they all have Psychic as part of their type, but they're probably there to provide the special effects during his concerts, e.g. telekinetically moving props and actors, providing special effects beyond the scope of technology, etc.
I was listening to the songs "Smooth Criminal" and "Bad" while drawing this. I liked his Smooth Criminal outfit best, so I modified it for his Gym Leader suit. Besides, I believe that if Michael Jackson were to specialize in any Pokemon type, it would definitely be Psychic. Think about it. How the hell else are you gonna do that Smooth Criminal 45-degree lean live in concert?
Hope you like him ^^
