Physical Description

By Diego Monardes

Medicham is a humanoid Pokémon that resembles a yoga practitioner with really poofy pants. It has a light-gray skinned body with magenta and yellow adornments. A magenta headpiece with three bulb-like extensions covers the upper portion of its head. There is one on top, like a bun, and one on either side of its round face. The bulb on top is shorter on a female medicham compared to males. Three yellow dots are on the front of its forehead area. Its large, focused eyes are slightly covered by the headpiece, and its thick, red lips seem to be in a rounded or puckered position. Its legs appear to be covered with puffy pants that have a large yellow spot on the knees and yellow bands next to the hips.

When medicham mega-evolves, its headpiece now resembles a white turban with a yellow stone in the center and flaring extensions. The red bun in the back is retained. There is now a gold band on each wrist and additional raised, gold bands around its waist. Several blue, teardrop-shaped decorations hang from the lowest hip band like jewelry. Four, ghostly arms formed of its willpower extend from its back. These become more solid as medicham's focus increases.

History

Medicham are the evolved form of meditite. This comes about from intense concentration and adoption of self-deprivation practices that increase their psychic acuity. Historically, medicham who further extend themselves, with the help of medichamite, become mega-medicham and lead other medicham as a paragon of psychic achievement. They have been known to even teach and tutor trainers who seek their wisdom and agility in battle.

Society

Medicham reside by themselves, usually. They may converge to train, but their meditation is best sustained by their solitude and detachment from the world. Thus, they spent inordinate times fasting and meditating on their own. Many medicham are hermits who convene to do some sparring and then go their separate ways again for another month of meditation.

Medicham Names

Usually, medicham do not see the point in special names. They are highly absorbed into being one with their own surroundings, not differentiating themselves with individual names. People usually end up giving them names instead.
