The battle is on

Inspired by Episode 123 of Naruto Shipuuden~

For a while now, I've been wanting to draw Deidara as a pokemon, but I wasn't able to think of anything that he could be. I did NOT want to make him a pikachu, like most people do, since it doesn't go with his element. So I tried thinking of all the possible ground-types. And poof! Deidara was made into a Sandslash! I think it goes pretty well with him, though I did have to do some changes with the pokemon to make it look like him.
And well, choosing a pokemon for Sasuke to be, wasn't hard. Luxray seems like the perfect match for him. ^^

But what I still don't understand is how electric beats ground in the Naruto world. Hmm...
