CAP 2 Pre-evo - Part 8.1 - Pokédex entry poll 1

Not open for further replies.
Many aspiring writers wanted to write epic tales about the fledgling Necturine, just as I had told of the events that led to her conception. However, they were unfortunately limited to the small space afforded by the Pokédex entries. Nonetheless, exactly half of the brave souls who submitted their visions as final have made it to the poll, to be at the mercy of the voters here today. The contestants are:

Asylum Rhapsody
Deck Knight
srk1214
tea_and_blues
Kaprikorn
Quanyails
phoopes
MikaDo
bugmaniacbob (...Uh, I mean, this link. Yes...)

When looking for entries to slate, I looked for significant positive feedback and whether each entry heeded the constructive feedback. I also excluded entries with grammatical errors. After that, I wanted to make sure that the entries made any kind of sense with the concept. Keeping in mind the typing, Necturine should be portrayed as a plant, maybe with spiritual aspects as well. (I was actually super-lenient with this aspect, as you may imagine.) I also excluded a couple of entries based on what I said in the thread:

ALSO @ the "drains energy" people in general: I'm not really sure this is the right angle. In a vacuum it would be completely fine. However, as a consequence of both winning movepools, Necturine and Necturna must breed or use TMs to get any kind of draining move.
My thinking was that an over-emphasis on draining nutrients from other life forms was inappropriate enough to exclude from the slate. I did keep some entries going from this angle, by virtue of positive feedback.

This is a multiple bold vote poll, which means that you can vote for as many entries as you want to in no particular order. A typical vote may look like the following:

Preferred Entry #1
Preferred Entry #2
Preferred Entry #3

If the voter wishes, he may post comments on his vote below the actual vote. Only the vote itself should be bold and none of the supplementary text should be bold.
Note that any posts that do not contain a vote will be moderated and the poster warned. If you feel compelled to say something in your own vote, you may do so, but please don't try to incite a discussion here. Keep discussion to the IRC channel, #cap.

This poll will be open for 48 hours. The CAP 2 final product can be seen here.

Basically, I don't like the energy-draining angle in some of these, since Necturine has to go into the egg moves to get any draining moves. srk's entry is interesting but the Pidove reference seems too specific. phoopes's entry seems like it's describing Necturna more than Necturine.
 
tea_and_blues
phoopes
Quanyails

tea_and_blues' is definitely my favorite of the bunch (haha), but phoopes and Quanyails also have solid suggestions.
