Queen's Gambit - Nemona MCP (3rd Place)

[Full resolution, non-watermarked images + textless variants now available in the art archives]

Years after graduating the region's most prestigious academy, Nemona officially succeeds Geeta and becomes Paldea's youngest ever Top Champion at 18 years old. But La Nueva Reina is far from satisfied. In fact, she doesn't even believe that she's truly Paldea's strongest Champion: there's still one Paldean trainer in the world whom she's never defeated, and she's hellbent on battling him again despite the fact they haven't seen one another in years.

She travels to Pasio to compete in the Masters League tournament, knowing her rival would accept an invitation to test their might against the world's best. But Nemona also knows she won't be satisfied by a single rematch. Nothing short of sparring with that young man again and again for years to come could put a dent in her insatiable appetite for battling. When he arrives, she visits his villa nightly to put him through a rigorous "training regimen" and ensure that his mind is entirely focused on their inevitable meeting in the arena, not distracted by all of the beautiful trainers gathered from around the world. And in time, they do finally meet for their first match. Though it appears her concern over his being distracted doesn't extend to being distracted by her.

"Look!" Nemona, dressed in an extremely revealing version of her champion attire, holds up something peculiar for her rival to see as the crowd breaks into cheers and laughter. "Now you'll HAVE to come back home with me when we're done. And we'll move in together and get married and have more babies and battle as much as WE want. EVERY DAY! ♥ " 

She has Arena Trap. She cut the Escape Rope and poked holes in the Repels. She is in your walls.

Nemona might have finished third place, but I definitely had the strongest idea of what to do with her in comparison to first and second place. It's just so easy to come up with ideas for a yandere.

Enjoy!
