I Don't Care If You Get Black or White

Welcome to another weekend of three gijinkas. This week's theme is Pokemon with more than one head. Today's gijinka looks surprisingly similar to the male protagonist of the 5th Gen games. His ability's name is even the names of the 5th Gen games (Although I originally intended it to reference a certain singer with a liquid nose). It's all purely coincidence, I swear:
Pokemon: Girafarig
Ability: Black Or White
Black Or White is an ability that allows the user to separate people (Including his/herself) into two halves, with one half containing an extreme attribute and the other containing an extreme of the opposite attribute. For example, a moderately intelligent person can be split into a genius and a doofus, or a slightly moral person can be split into a chivalrous hero and an evil menace. To differentiate the two halves, one person will have their clothing in the original color, while the other one will have the clothes' colors inverted (But the body will remain identical, right down to the fingerprints). Do not be fooled, however, because the colors only serve as a differentiator, a person clothed in black is not necessarily evil, and one coated in white is not necessarily righteous. Girafarig uses this ability to make his opponents easier to defeat (Note that when one half receives damage, the other half is damaged in the same area), and sometimes, to give himself an advantage in numbers (Though when he uses it on himself, he tends to go for negligible or trivial attributes, such as obsession with chocolate).

Spongebob Would Love This

To end this weekend, I'll be showcasing a gijinka of the Zubat of the seas. You can't surf more than 5 steps without running into one of these guys:
Pokemon: Tentacool
Ability: Jellyfish
Jellyfish is an ability that allows the user to produce airborne jellyfish from their arms. Like normal sea jellies, air jellies have a venomous sting, though the species produced by Jellyfish is only capable of causing painful rashes at most. The bodies of air jellies are composed of 90% air, and they support themselves using the air around them. The don't eat anything, and are produced with enough energy to stay alive for about 10 minutes. Once the time is up, their bodies go limp and float around indefinitely, unless willingly dismissed by the user. Even when dead, the nematocysts on the air jellies' tentacles can sting and inject the irritating venom when touched. Tentacool is eager to creep people out with Jellyfish, but she doesn't usually mean any harm. She just wants to have fun (And see the looks on your faces when you come face-to-face with a jellyfish).

I Want A Rock!

Today, we have the annoying cave-dwelling rock Pokemon that appears every few steps you take (Kinda like a Rock-type Zubat):
Pokemon: Geodude
Ability: They Might Be Giants
They Might Be Giants is an ability that allows the user to change the volume of rocks, without altering their mass. This means he can take a relatively small rock, then increase its size to look really big, but it'll still weigh just as much as a small rock. This makes it useful for creating shields when all you have around you are tiny rocks (The enlarged rocks still have the properties of rock, being tough and hard. Interestingly, the increased volume means enlarged rocks can float on water due to lowered densities). Inversely, the user can take a large rock, and shrink it to reduce the amount of air resistance acting on it, creating a dangerous projectile. It will still weigh as much as a large rock though, so the user can't use rocks that are too large. Geodude uses the rock-enlarging ability to impress the ladies (With fake stunts), and the rock-shrinking ability to perform super vandalism and gain respect among other street hoodlums. Despite this, he does have a heart of gold buried within him...

Nananananananananananananananana BATMAN!!

This weekend, I'll be showcasing gijinkas of the three most annoying Pokemon in the history of Pokemon. Let's start off with the goddamn bat:
Pokemon: Zubat
Ability: Blindmelon
Blindmelon is an ability that allows the user to take away a person's sense of vision. It basically makes people go blind, unable to see anything, not even their fingers held up to their face. It can affect as many people as the user wants, so it's pretty annoying. Zubat himself is completely blind, but like all the other blind people you see in movies, his sense of hearing is sharpened to the max. He uses Blindmelon to make his opponents see the same thing he does - Absolutely nothing. He also doesn't wear shoes so that he can feel what he's walking on. Sometimes, he just blinds people to be a jerk.

Daydreaming in Chemistry Class Gives You This

If you guessed this weekend's theme to be "Pokemon that have abilities which prevent the opposing Pokemon from escaping", congratulations! That's exactly what I was going for:
Pokemon: Magnezone
Ability: Gravity
Gravity is an ability that allows the user to cause objects to orbit other objects. A larger object cannot orbit a smaller object. One object can only have a maximum of five other objects orbiting it. The orbits must remain in a two-dimensional plane and be circular, or elliptical. It is possible to cause an object to orbit another object that is also orbiting another object as long as the orbiting bodies fit the criteria mentioned above. The speed of each orbiting object is dependant on the speed at which it enters the orbit, and cannot be consciously manipulated. Magnezone frequently has something orbiting him as a sort of natural shield. If the need arises, he can make people orbit something (Such as himself) to incapacitate and disorientate them. He's aloof for the most part and prefers to do things alone, surfing the Net or designing software in his spare time.

It's A Trap!

No, not that kind of trap! This one's a girl:
Pokemon: Trapinch
Ability: Velvet Underground
Velvet Underground is an ability that allows the user to generate an inescapable and indestructible cage around an area. The cage is formed by having the two halves come out from either side of the area to be enclosed and then coming together perfectly at the apex. The entire cage is only a semicircle and can be summoned from any sufficiently large surface (Even vertical walls). If the cage has to go through something to close up, it will phase through it harmlessly. Anything within the cage cannot be harmed by anything from outside, and the same holds true vice-versa. The gaps in the cage serve only as a window and lets only light, sound, and air pass through. Anything else will just bump into the gaps as though there is a sheet of glass there. The inside of the cage is lined with spikes to prevent people from attempting to escape. Trapinch seems innocent enough, but she has some really crazy ideas for games. And nobody can escape her...

So~nano ka?

For this weekend, I'll be showcasing three gijinkas whose original Pokemon have something in common. Let's see if anyone can find out what it is before the weekend ends.
It's gonna take a while for me to get used to this new pencil...:
Pokemon: Wobbuffet
Ability: You Too
You Too is an ability that allows the user to redirect any and all attacks targeting him, regardless of whether they're physical or not. There is, however, one type of attack that he cannot redirect: Attacks that have no trajectory or flight path. This usually means mental attacks that directly target the opponent's mind instead of following any specific path. Any other attacks, ranging from punches to sonar beams, can be redirected as long as the user remains completely motionless. Another condition that must be fulfilled to activate You Too is gripping firmly something that is connected to your body. Wobbuffet usually chooses to grip his black belt because it is easier to reach for. When an attack enters the user's body, he/she can choose where on their body he/she wants it to exit and at what angle. Wobbuffet is very wary of his surroundings (To the point of being paranoid) and may sometimes activate You Too for no reason other than "It felt like he was being targeted".
