Tag: Pawniard

Okay, I love my pawniard. But an accident occurred and it was in no way her fault. We were walking near some tall grass near the mall on route nine and a wild houndour tried to rush us. I reached for my pawniard to pull her out of the way, like I would with any other pokemon, completely forgetting that she’s got knives for hands. I cut myself pretty bad, but we got away okay. I keep telling her she didn’t do anything wrong, but I think she blames herself. Advice? I hate seeing her so sad.

Show her your hand. This may sound odd, but if you explain to her that: A) you still have your hand and B) it’s healing, she may begin to understand that you don’t blame her at all. It will also help if you phrase it in that way—stating that it was your fault (terribly sorry for the wording) and that she’s completely innocent in the matter.

Finally, treat her. Give her a bit more affection and show her that you still consider her your partner. By showing how much you value her, she’ll also begin to understand that you are in no way angry with her, which in turn will allow her to move past what happened.

Best of luck, anonymous!

Pawniard and Bisharp

Pawniard
The Sharp Blade Pokémon
Type: Dark/Steel
Official Registration #: 624
Entry: This small, soldier-like pokémon is covered with knives. This means that pawniard’s body must be meticulously maintained via sharpening after every battle, which in turn means that pawniard attack most effectively in a group—so that no one pawniard’s blades will be worn down completely by the end of the match. Of course, this also means that hugging a pawniard is a terribly ill-advised idea, which the author had expected would be something that should go without saying until he actually looked up how many pawniard-related injuries were reported last year alone.

Bisharp
The Sword Blade Pokémon
Type: Dark/Steel
Official Registration #: 625
Entry: The evolved form of pawniard, by battle experience. This soldier-like pokémon is always seen in the company of a large number of pawniard. Bisharp apparently commands these pawniard, guiding them into attacking prey in one massive group until it can finish its opponents off with one final blow. Thanks to this behavior of using underlings to weaken an opponent enough for a final attack, bisharp may be comparable to certain types of humans, such as yakuza bosses, military generals, and any titular character in the magical girl genre.
