Description

A Pokemon X Persona Crossover art.

This is the art in which if Ash and his friends have their perspective character arcana personality-wise. After seeing several XY episodes, I changed it once again. (See bottom part for details)

The character pose is the same newest 'All-out Attack' from my other work.

In my perception here are the following arcana tarot symbols, meanings and reasons from left to right: (Courtesy of Megami Tensei Wikia)

Brock (Magician)
Symbolism: Action, initiative, self-confidence, manipulation and power.
Reason: Despite being the oldest and the wisest of the gang, he is actually the first male travel companion of Ash and typically the perverted male characters for hitting random women. Despite of this, he does not have a long-term canon romantic couple as an ongioing theme of that arcana.

Dawn (High Priestess)
Symbolism: Hidden knowledge or other untapped power, wisdom, female mystery and patience
Reason: A very intelligent Pokemon Coordinator using move combinations to her advantage in battles, as well as teaching Ash the latter and other tricks. She is very reserved and quiet as well.

May (Chariot)
Symbolism: Victory, conquest, self-assertion, control, war and command.
Reason: She has a very driven personality and aiming for the top Pokemon Coordinator at any cost. However, She can also be aggressive and short-tempered when things got in trouble like stolen food and embarassing stories.

Max (Justice)
Symbolism: A strict allegory of justice, objectivity, rationality and analysis.
Reason: A very intelligent boy whose learn from the books that matters fairness. Sometimes he is stoic when he helps and communicates with Pokemon by himself and concerns matters with May whom he really cares with.

Misty (Empress)
Symbolism: Mothers, prosperity, creativity, sexuality, abundance, fertility and comfort.
Reason: She is the first travel companion of Ash, and taught Ash the basic of battles. Although she and Ash are friends, she is known for a very hotheaded female authority like asking for bike replacement. Later, since having baby Pokemon like Togepi and later Azurill, she become motherly to them.

Ash (The Fool)

Symbolism: Innocence, divine inspiration, madness, freedom, spontaneity, inexperience, chaos, and creativity.
Reason: He is the main hero of the entire anime series. He is known for his self journey, forging bonds with his friends and Pokemon, as well as collecting regional badges for the regional Pokemon Leagues.

Serena (Lovers)
Symbolism: A symbol of love and romantic relationships, finding agreement with an ordinary friend and even two conflicting elements within.
Reason: She is popular (storywise) and highly emphasis on social interaction with friends. Notably she has almost always have a canon romantic interest in the protagonist, in this case Ash.

Clemont (Emperor)
Symbolism: The desire to control one's surroundings, and its appearance could suggest that one is trying too hard to achieve this.
Reason: An inventor who tries hard to invent some gears that always end up malfunctioning. He also doesn't know how to deal with the girls chosen by his Bonnie. Furthermore, he specializes in Electric-type Pokemon as a Gym Leader, just like how typical Emperor-type Personas have.

Bonnie (Wheel of Fortune)
Symbolism: Fate and varying luck, fortunes and opportunities.
Reason: She is aware of Pokemon behaviour and personality, tending to call various Pokemon cute, even the fearsome looking ones, but she also trying find the ideal girls for Clemont.

Iris (Strength)
Symbolism: Morality about the stronger power of self-control, gentleness, courage and virtue over brute force.
Reason: She has several struggles like a hard training to become Dragon-type master. Furthermore, She had two disobedient Pokemon and needs her strength of heart to gain control.

Cilan (Hierophant)
Symbolism: An education, authority, conservatism, obedience to rules and relationship with the divine.
Reason: He is older than Ash and wise and logical, particularly his evaluation with food puns. He also tends to role play various jobs by himself like being a detective or fisherman.

Changes from previous versions: (Please read for more understanding)

Bullet; Blue Brock was going to be the Emperor Arcana because he is the oldest male companion among Ash's group and the father archetype, but after better known as the first male companion and sidekick, as well as perverted antics by hitting random women, he was changed into the Magician Arcana.

Bullet; Blue Furthermore, Clemont is now fit to the Emperor Arcana because he doesn't know how to deal with the girls, and he specializes electricity as a Gym Leader.

Bullet; Blue Months before XY Series premiered, Serena was going to be the Empress Arcana to fill in as the mother-role. But after seeing several Japanese XY episodes and Serena's crush (one sided or not) on Ash is much more legitimate, she is now the Lovers Arcana.

Bullet; Blue Misty on the other hand is pretty much like an older sister to Ash for most of the time (despite some shipping "hints", many of them are actually 4kids dub added) and motherly to baby Pokemon (Togepi and later Azurill), thus become the Empress Arcana.

Bullet; Red Do you agree with my arcana choice? If you don't agree with some choices, feel free to comment your personal choice. I want to hear your opinion about my arcana choice and your choice if you disagree. Bur remember, make sure it is on-topic within this art. Bullet; Red
