Description

Some people just want to see the world burn.

Name: Drifloon (Tupaman form)
Type: Ghost/Fire
Species: Blimp Pokémon
Ability: Aftermath/ Levitate/ (Hidden: Flash Fire)

Height: 2,51m (6'88'')
Weight: 12kg (26,45 lbs)

Entry: 

It must continuously keep its fire burning to stay functional and afloat, so it periodically lowers and hovers close to
the ground, grabbing the first thing it sees with its ribbon-like appendage, be it living or otherwise, to use as fuel.
As it floats, it rains fireballs down below, creating forest fires, and it is said that it’s curse powers grows the more
it destroys. When its body reaches its end, it crashes into the ground in a big fiery explosion, from which a new
one births.

Just like it's pre evo, Driblim's Tupaman form is themed on a festival here in Brazil called "Festa Junina" ("literally June Festival" [image] [image]), occurring at
the beginning of winter to 
celebrate the rainy season and to honor St. John the Baptist. During the festival men and women dress in farm clothes, and spaces are
decorated in a rural theme. 
Bonfires, fireworks, a mock-up wedding and dancing are included. But Drifloon and Drifblim are specifically based on Sky Lanterns,
not exclusive, but commonly seen during the 
June Festivities, ranging from ones ranging with a few centimeters to others spanning meters in diameter.
Sky Lanterns are now banned in many parts of the country 
because of the dangers involved in launching them and landing them, usually resulting in wildfires or
someone being burned. Drifblim is more based on this latter part, causing wildfires and burning stuff. The Tupama region includes gyms instead of Alola's trials,
although with a twist, and I'm planning for one of the gym leaders to be themed after the June Festivities, with Drifblim being one of his signature pokémons.

Well, that's it, I hope you guys liked it. I don't have that many more fakemons sketched for now, so since I'll have to make some more anyways, what do you guys prefer,
the first fakemon in the housefly line (yet another dark type in this dex already full of them, maybe it's too early for it...), another tupaman variant, an evolution for a
Tupaman line that's still incomplete, a new fakemon from a new line or something else?
Any of these options is valid, really. 

Well, see you guys next time! :D (Big Grin)

Floats over forests and drops fireballs, that's nice!
