🎨Winslow Homer

Winslow Homer | The Life Line - 1884 - Philadelphia Museum of Art

Detail - Homer's composition puts us into the midst of the action with massive waves rolling past, drenching the semiconscious woman and her anonymous savior on a breeches buoy.

Winslow Homer in 1880 - Born: February 24, 1836 – Died: September 29, 1910

An American landscape painter and illustrator, best known for his marine subjects. He is considered one of the foremost painters in 19th-century America and a preeminent figure in American art.

Largely self-taught, Homer began his career working as a commercial illustrator. He subsequently took up oil painting and produced major studio works characterized by the weight and density he exploited from the medium. He also worked extensively in watercolor, creating a fluid and prolific oeuvre, primarily chronicling his working vacations.

Winslow Homer | The Fog Warning - 1885 - Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Boston, U.S.

The painting depicts a lone fisherman in a dory who has caught several halibut but now sees fog blowing up, threatening to cut him off as he rows back to his ship.

Aipom and Ambipom, while not seen as the best battlers are EXCELLENT Service Pokemon. They are quick, clever and have extra hands to help out their one human. And they are very social creatures who make pack bonds, so if their human is in a family, they are now ALL family, with their one human being their absolute priority.

Some things service Aipom/Aimbipom are trained to do is:

notice signs of pain

notice signs of heart attack or stroke

notice signs of incoming seizures

handling a few simple chores/fetching needed items for their person

helping their person move or support their bodies

aipom sign language (which is also taught to the person for better communication)

Most service Aipom and Aimbipom can be trained to do 2 - 3 things, though since they are sentient beings, it isn't odd for them to pick things up the longer they stay with their person. The baseline is always for them to learn Aipom Sign, which is known to be a simplified version of ASL.
