Originally a commission for  4760

"A young trainer finds a strange glowing blue orb in a cave in Sinnoh. His curiosity compels him to reach out into it, and like a shockwave rushing through his body he changes. When the light subsides, the trainer is gone, and a lost and alone Lucario remains. As he flees the sounds of new trainers entering the cave, he wonders, will he be on the inside of one of the poke-balls on his own belt?"

"Pokemon? With the poke and the mon, and the thing with guy comes out of the thing and he bites, agh agh..."

Anyone who gets that quote has my eternal respect. Yeah so that's the first time I ever drew a pokemon, let alone as a tf. Different, but it was fun. This past summer I bought Platinum and got sort of obsessed with it, which was kind of re-introduction to one of my childhood pastimes.
