Description

Name: Mermask (Mermaid + Mask)

Japanese Name:

Type: Water/Fighting

Species: Mermaid Pokemon

Evolves into: Maskermaid at level 43

Ability: Scrappy

Dex: Very vigorous and eager to battle, Mermask train relentlessly in many forms of combat so that they may defend themselves against any opposing threat. The use this tactic to help themselves find food which consist of Fish Pokemon. They will not hesitate to throw the first punch and can get very defensive if threatened.

Mermask are very timid as well as they hide their faces behind masks to feel more empowered.

Name: Maskermaid (Masquerade + Mermaid)

Japanese Name:

Type: Water/Fighting

Species: Narcissistic Pokemon

Ability: Vanity (Boosts Status moves used to benefit the user)

Dex: After evolution, Mermask becomes a lot more elegant and breathtakingly beautiful. This change in appearance also comes with a change in attitude with Maskermaid as they will be captivated by their own beauty and will do anything to maintain it. They rarely battle as they are too vain to even bother with battles and are paranoid that any battle will ruin their elegance.

Humans that see a Maskermaid washed ashore will become captivated by its beauty that they will throw themselves to do whatever the Pokemon desires. This form of attention helps reinforce the idea to Maskermaids that they are still the most fairest Pokemon of all time.

If two Maskermaids happen to see eachother, one of two things will happen depending on the situation. If there are other creatures admiring one's beauty more than the other, the two Maskermaids will fight each other relentlessly until one is victorious. If no other creature is around, they will most likely compliment each other as if they are staring at a mirror.



Maskermaid is based on the tale of Narcissus as well as the idea that Masquerades are very elegant parties that involve masks. Meanwhile, Mermask is based on Luchador Wrestling. Maskermaid also happens to have inspiration from Professional Wrestling where they will fight each other in front of a crowd, but will get along with one another out of the public eye.

This idea of them being wrestlers is actually based on a water sport called Aquathalon: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aquathlo… This is a real sport, people. The difference is there are no ribbons involved.
