First I Was Afraid, I Was Petrified

For all you guys out there who prefer healthy-looking girls to anorexic ones:
Pokemon: Blissey
Ability: I Will Survive
I Will Survive is an ability that provides the user with rapid regenerative abilities. Any injury or damage towards the user's body will be healed within seconds (But the initial attack will still hurt) and lost body parts can be fully regenerated in a few minutes. If the user succumbs to disease, he/she will continue to regenerate any cells infected and destroyed by the virus/bacteria but cannot destroy the virus/bacteria. If a projectile such as a bullet embeds itself in a wound, the wound will patch up but the foreign object will remain, causing discomfort and sometimes great pain. Blissey simply has I Will Survive activated passively. She tends to use her own body as a human shield to protect other people because she knows she'll usually come out unharmed.

I'm Gonna Headbutt Ya! I'm Gonna Headbutt Ya! I'm Gonna Headbutt Ya!

Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds:
Pokemon: Cranidos
Ability: Diamond Is Unbreakable
Diamond Is Unbreakable is an ability that gives the user a skull made completely out of pure diamond. As one would expect, this means the user's headbutting power is increased dramatically. However, the added weight also causes the user to be a bit imbalanced (Not to be confused with being imba) and will tire the user out relatively quickly if he/she is not in the best of health. Compared with bone, diamond is a substantial bit tougher (I've done my research...I know the difference between toughness and hardness). Despite the lowered risk of fracturing the skull, the skin and flesh portion of the head is still vulnerable to damage. A sufficiently powerful blunt force may also fracture the diamond skull. Cranidos likes to smash his head into things, but due to the damage he'd do to most objects, he is limited to smashing only his belongings (Although he has discovered that he can headbutt diamond rings to see if they're real diamond). Note that Diamond Is Unbreakable does not prevent headaches.

So You Think You Can Dance?

Recognize the dances? One's an anime opening and the other's an Internet meme:
Pokemon: Bellossom
Ability: Dance Dance
Dance Dance is an ability that causes surrounding bystanders to dance in lieu with the user whenever he/she dances. Usually, the affected person perfectly mimics the user's dance movements, but the user can allow an affected person to dance differently to the same rhythm, like when doing a group dance or a waltz. The user can manually pick anyone to fall under the effects of Dance Dance, but can also automatically cause it to affect anyone within 10m. Bellossom uses Dance Dance a lot, especially out in the street, where she tends to get an urge to dancee and wants everyone to join in (Whether they want to or not). She also uses it to incapacitate suspicious-looking people who try to stalk her (She's not as young as she looks).

Tale As Old As Time, Song As Old As Rhyme

Beauty and the Beast~Anyway, this is the first completed evolution chain (Not counting stand-alone Pokemon) in my Gijinka Showcase Blog (My sketchbooks have a different first completed evolution chain). Sister to Milotic, with an ability that allows her to rival her sister in beauty:
Pokemon: Feebas
Ability: Celebrity Skin
Celebrity Skin is an ability that allows the user to alter the physical appearance of his/herself and other people. Amongst the characteristics that can be altered by Celebrity Skin are hair color, hair length, hair smoothness, eye color, facial proportions, body proportions, skin color, height, weight (Fatness, that is...), shape, size, and any other such features I might not have remembered. Celebrity Skin cannot alter disabilities (Which means a guy who is missing a leg will not be able to regrow that leg, and a guy with two legs cannot lose any of them), diseases, gender, clothing, and personality. Feebas tends to remain with her original appearance most of the time. She'll only use Celebrity Skin to make herself look attractive under certain circumstances (Usually, it's to throw off opponents. But there is this one time...). She isn't above uglifying you out of spite though...

Hello Everynyan. How Are You? Fine Thank You

Oh My Gaaaaaaa~:
Pokemon: Arceus
Ability: God Knows
Get ready for a long explanation...God Knows is an ability that allows the user to form and create anything in the world that he/she knows exists. Sounds simple enough. The long explanation comes from the items that Arceus likes to create all the time, namely the Power Plates. The Power Plates are some sort of ancient, extraterrestrial, paranormal, supernatural collection of items that were discovered not too long ago by some guy. All of the plates are currently kept in a secret facility located in a secret place to be secretly experimented with by secret scientists. Arceus was able to get a hold of this information because he is a 1337 hacker. There are 16 discovered plates so far, each allowing the user to produce and control a specific element of nature (And sometimes not nature). The Flame, Splash, and Zap Plates govern the elements of fire, water, and electricity respectively. The Sky, Meadow, and Icicle Plates control air, plant life, and ice. The Earth Plate controls mud and soil whilst the Stone Plate controls solid minerals like stone, clay, and marble. The Iron Plate governs all metals. The Mind Plate controls light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation, whereas the Dread Plate allows control over gravitational force and other such essential forces. The Draco Plate controls all vertebrates and the Insect Plate controls invertebrates. The Toxic Plate governs toxins, viruses, bacteria, and diseases. The Fist Plate controls man-made items, ranging from mechanical inventions to synthetic chemicals. The Spooky Plate allows control over spirits. There are quite a few kinds of spirits, amongst them are poltergeists who have the ability to interact with real world items, and the souls of beings that can inhabit minds and cause inner turmoil. With these Power Plates alone, Arceus already looks like he's the most powerful of all gijinkas (And indeed, I intended that), but there is one drawback. At any one time, Arceus can only use two Power Plates. Furthermore, anything he creates with God Knows will only last 5 minutes and will disappear after that (But this is a minor drawback since he can keep on creating things without limit). The world is lucky that Arceus is not malicious (Even though he is a bit prideful and enjoys publicity) and will usually use his powers for good rather than evil.

I'll Ask, Cos I'm Not Sure, Does Anybody Make Real

I don't know if it's clear to anyone else or not, but those sleeves are zippable:
Pokemon: Deoxys
Ability: Harder Better Faster Stronger
Harder Better Faster Stronger is an ability that allows the user to maximize any one particular physical ability at any one time. The above picture shows four forms, Defense Form (Maximum endurance), Attack Form (Maximum strength), Speed Form (Maximum speed), and Normal Form (Maximum balance in all abilities). Of course, Deoxys can maximize other traits as well (Such as perceptiveness, intelligence, loudness), but those four are the only forms that have specially designed clothes (And hair) for them (To allow maximum efficiency). Deoxys tends to keep his mask on all the time because he prefers if nobody knows who he is. It appears he wants to start a new life, leaving his previous identity behind so nobody will judge him. He stays in Normal Form when not doing anything special.

Everyone Wishes They Could Go Back in Time, Although Probably Not Like This

This is one of those times where using an eraser can be considered an art:
Pokemon: Celebi
Ability: Chrono Trigger
Chrono Trigger is an ability that allows the user to travel 5 seconds back into the past. However, this doesn't mean it rewinds everything that happened up to that point, rather, it causes the user to reappear in the same position he/she was in 5 seconds ago while the rest of the world continues in normal time. This is tremendously useful whenever the user receives damage because he/she can just rewind him/herself to 5 seconds ago when he/she was perfectly fine. There is a cooldown time though, approximately 30 seconds must pass before the user can use Chrono Trigger again. Celebi likes to play around with this ability, confusing and annoying whoever the hell he wants. He knows how to use it pretty effectively in battle too.
