Azure the Zebstrika, gamer gal and a generously proportioned one at that, as arted by the incredible ! Plus some words of mine to accompany it. :D

Azure's thick fingers pinched against the rubber casing wrapped around her smartphone. Sliding a keratin tipped finger across the plastic sheet covering its surface, she tapped against a Castform icon. Today's weather proceeded to pull up on her smudged screen. The phone gently vibrated in her grip as the Zebstrika tapped her thumb repeatedly against its side to shift. Its volume output lurched from muted to something barely audible while a video struggled to buffer on screen. Once it did, however, Azure whinnied excitedly at the familiar face that smiled back at her.

"Juniper!" the equine shouted as her morning star tipped tail crackled behind her.

The sharply dressed Raikou on screen arched her eyebrows and casually waved at her audience. "Good morning, Kanto! Juniper here, your leading legendary weatherwoman! As you can probably imagine, today's forecast includes a one-hundred percent chance of scattered and severe thunderstorms. As for tomorrow, we can all look forward to clear skies and sunshine as I'm taking a well earned staycation!"

Ominous rumbles sounded outside Azure's window as the sky darkened with thick clouds. Tinks, tunks, and steady thunks proceeed to drown out the Zebstrika's phone as a steady stream of rain pounded against her windows and sloshed through the gutters. Yessssssssssssssss.

"Yes yes yes!" The pajama clad Zebstrika decreed with a pump of her fists as electricity arced between the horns atop her head. It was, Arceus almighty, just the besssssst feeling knowing that you were justified in being lazy for the day. Nothing in the back of her head to nag at or guilt her for curling up on her bed and gaming the day away.

Muffled thumps shook her room as Azure's multi-hundred pound form flopped back onto her bed. Ignoring the pained creaks of the coiled springs buried within her mattress, the generously proportioned equine made herself comfortable. Pillows propped up behind her, she cuddled her faithful plushies, Nak and Lady Bleeva, under her arms and sighed. The Zebstrika's ivory white mane of hair piled atop the pillows behind her as the back of her head came to tonk against her bed's headboard.

"Now what am I in the mood for today?" She pondered aloud. "No pants, for one." Pressing a hoof against a calf, she lazily tugged her pajama pants down along her toned legs before kicking them off the edge of her bed. "Games, obviously, for another. Good ones!" She chucked her phone onto the carpeted floor and instead opted to reach out towards her nightstand. And the 3DS resting atop it.

Daintily scooping it up between her thick fingers, Azure proceeded to thrum her digits proudly along its Pokeball lined faceplates. She flipped it open and, with a smile, immediately booted up her namesake: Azure Striker Gunvolt. Okay, yeah, sure, maybe she irresponsibly bought it soley because of the name. And maaaaaybe she really was that shallow and easy to please.

The fact remained that, accidentally or not, she was pleasantly surprised to find her namesake had proven to be as meaty and demanding as she was. "Wait..." Azure mumbled aloud while she bit into her lip. She snorted at the self-own and rolled her eyes. She settled her thumbs upon the d-pad and X button respectively and loaded up her save file. Fine, whatever, so comparisons weren't her strong suit. Gaming however, was!
