Panel format should be six panels per page, two wide and three high. First portion of the story should use warm colors, as it’s set in late summer in the middle of a severe drought. Main character is Evan, a boy of 11 who usually wears shorts, a t-shirt, and a nondescript ball cap. Pale skin, kid-length blonde hair, blue eyes. Secondary character is Davis, a reasonably tall man, tanned skin with dark, short hair and brown eyes. Usually wears black shirts/pants and no cap.
Generally, Pokemon should appear as they do in the anime – there’s a little more variety when it comes to stripes, spots, etc. placement but they should be recognizable to people that watched the original shows as kids.
Panel 1 – establishing shot of a lake in a forest, with noticeably low water level. Perhaps different colors below and above the normal water line? Trees and bushes surrounding the lake should also be dry and scraggly, maybe a few live leaves but mostly wilted.
Panel 2 – MC and his Growlithe sitting in the scant shade of a thick tree trunk, gazing at the lake. Drenched in sweat, damp clothes/fur if feasible for size.
Panel 3 – some sort of visual cue in the air towards the horizon, something approaching the lake from the air. Boy and Pokemon both notice.
Panel 4 – Mesprit is recognizeable but small, barreling towards the water at an angle; can see its eyes fixed directly on MC. Another figure (Dragonite, may be too small to identify) chasing it.
Panel 5 – Mesprit dives into lake, leaving just a splash of water. Dragonite closer, spreads wings to stop flight. On its back is Davis, peering down into the water.
Panel 6 – Water hue should change to bright blue, perhaps having special effects to show something extraordinary just occurred (teleported from one lake to another far away). Now Davis looks up, frustration on his face, and spots the MC. Bold red R on Davis' black shirt’s pocket.
