Bertie's Profile

Hubert, better known as Bertie, is a bubbly and sweet-tempered soul. They seems to love everyone, in that they treats each of their customers as they stand before them as the one and only special person in the world. This regard, care, and respect are all genuine. But the cherrim side of them is affected strongly by the weather, and by extension, the others around them. Is it Bertie's psychic talents, or simply a normal form of communal empathy?

Cherrim

Cherrim is the second and final evolution of cherubi, and represents cherry blossoms. It appears in two different Forms depending on the weather: Sunshine in harsh sunlight and Overcast in normal weather.

Designation
- National Pokédex Number: 421
- Type: Grass
- Species: Blossom Pokémon
- Habitat: Trees, most likely.

Physiology - Overview: Both Forms seem to represent flowers, with the Sunshine's obvious representation being a cherry blossom, and the Overcast's dark, drooping petals arranged more like a single fuchsia bloom. In both, the face is located at the center of the flower, petals arranged more like hair and clothing accessories. On Overcast Form, arms are hidden from view; otherwise, both forms have limb representation. - Height: 1 foot, 08 inches / 0.5 metres - Weight: 20.5 pounds / 9.3 kilograms Behavior In general, behavior and level of activity change depending on the weather. When in Sunshine Form, it is cheerful and outgoing; when in Overcast Form, it is more subdued. This may indicate that cherrim derives its energy literally from the sun, like another plant would.
