I did a soap carving of a scarab beetle today. I have a simple way to do this...
1. Get a bar of soap. ( I used Irish Spring a practice, Ivory is perfect)
2. There are many tools you can use. I use plastic forks , spoons, and plastic knifes with serrated edges. and toothpicks. There are others, but these are safe alternatives.
3. choose a pattern.
4. whittle away the outside ...
5. DO NOT SOAK SOAP IN WARM WATER FOR MORE THAN 30 SECS. UNLESS YOU WANT A SOAPY PILE OF CRUD!!!
6. add detail to the carving.

Boo Radley carves figurines out of soap for Jem and Scout by using a sharp tool or knife to carve away the excess soap and shape it into different forms. He leaves the soap carvings in a tree knothole for the children to find and appreciate.
ink and soap?....hmmm. You could melt down the soap and mix just enough ink into it so that when it drys, you have marbled soap. You could also carve the soap using a pen and out line the ridges with ink.
There are different way you can decorate your bar of soap.. you can paint it but the paint will eventually ware off, you can carve it with like a butter knife or any sharp utensil
The best way to carve a pokemon out of wood is to have a picture in front of you. You can cut out the details with a knife in the wood.
