Mitsuhiro Arita 1996 Base-Set Watercolor Frame

Re-render this image as a Pokémon Trading Card Game card illustration in Mitsuhiro Arita's signature 1996-1999 base-set register, the original Wizards-of-the-Coast English-language run. Card frame: thick yellow-and-gold border at outer edge, illustration window occupying upper two-thirds of card surface, illustration painted in watercolor with colored-pencil detail-layering, soft wet-edge pooling at color transitions, hand-painted background gradient behind subject (single-tone wash like teal, peach, or pale violet). Subject rendered with anatomical specificity: soft round forms, friendly proportions, eyes large and expressive but not anime-glossy (Arita kept eyes painterly rather than digital). Subject lit with single soft directional light, gentle shadow on opposite side, slight highlight on rounded surfaces. Background: solid single-tone painted wash with no environmental detail, OR minimal environmental hint (a wisp of cloud, a single rock, a band of grass) painted in same wet-on-wet watercolor technique. Card frame elements suggested but rendered abstract: HP value top-right area, type-symbol top-left area, attack-and-energy-cost box bottom-third area, set-symbol bottom-right corner, illustrator credit lower-left below illustration. Texture: light card-stock paper grain, slight matte finish, no foil. Mood: pre-platform sovereign object, the small painted thing you hold in your hand and own, the asset that cannot be streamed or revoked, the 1996 register before the franchise became a corporate machine. No legible text in any frame element (HP number, attacks, illustrator name should be suggested as shapes only), no specific trademark logos, no specific card-name text. Preserve the subject and composition of the source image exactly within the illustration window, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio is standard TCG portrait (2.5:3.5 ratio, vertical).
