Meet Tomis the lycanroc (dusk form hybrid)! Background- Tomis is a hunter/lumberjack/farmer doing general outdoor activities and farm work from Unova, living in a wooded area. Living in a pretty secluded area Tomis mostly keeps to himself but enjoys Pokémon battling, and frequently goes to Pokemon gyms and battling passersby. he’s very competitive and hates losing. Aside from Pokémon battling and general outdoors work he also enjoys camping and going out to town in the evenings to meet people. One night on his way home from the gym then he ran into a man walking with a lycanroc dusk form. As they walked by then the lycanroc lunged at Tomis biting him! He passed out from the pain. Tomis awoke in a local tavern to the owners staring down at him, asking who he was, and said he was just found passed out outside. He explained everything to them and then looked at his arm. There was a deep gash, but it didn’t hurt very badly anymore. The tavern owners explained one of their kids worked at a Pokemon center and healed them. Though they said it was strange a health potion they used due to low resources and inexperience meant to work on Pokemon worked on him. Tomis shrugged it off, and asked if they had seen a lycanroc with a darkly dressed man. The tavern owners said they had too many visitors to keep track of due to a holiday weekend, and didn’t know what lycanrocs are (since they aren’t normally in unvoa.) Tomis shrugged and left. He got home and went about his life fine as if nothing had happened. Everything was good for the next 3 weeks, and then one morning he got up feeling very hot, which was really strange since it was the middle of winter. He went to the bathroom and looked at his arm only to see orange and white fur around his scar! He jumped out to the mirror and saw multiple patches of the same fur all over his body! Not only that, but he saw his ears were pointing up from atop his head, and large black pointy spikes, one of which tore through his shirt! Were they rocks?! He then looked down only to see paws in place of his feet, and felt something bulging from his butt. He pulled down his pants which immediately made them bust open explosively, revealing a large fluffy white and red tipped tail. He started cussing out everything in anger, before calming down. Then thought about his situation, sure this shit suddenly appeared, but he was still himself mentally. He remembered seeing something on the news about the government warning about a mysterious team, and things similar to what was happening now happened elsewhere. He started worrying and became angry about what had happened. How was he supposed to live, and run his livelihood as some freak dog man! As he got angrier then the changes got worse with the fur spreading, and all 4 hands and feet became paws. His face also stretched into a muzzle, his nose changing into a strong canine sniffer that soon overwhelmed him with how much new scents he was taking in at once. He looked back at the mirror and punched it in anger, shattering it with a loud scratching sound like stones being thrown. Looking at his hand he saw sharp rocklike claws, along with paw pads on his hand and fingers, and the shards of the mirror. Dropping them disgusted he decided that it didn’t matter. Maybe he just had a few too many drinks last night, this can’t be real. He went outside and started his chores. Soon his neighbor Ned came over and said hi, and then said “what’s that you’re wearing some kind of Halloween costume? It’s December you know.” “I know” Tomis said under his breath, I’m doing laundry today, and it’s the only clean clothes I have. Besides, I should get my money’s worth and wear it more than once a year.” “It’s awfully realistic though” said Ned. “I know, it’s custom made.” Tomis said. If only Ned knew how real it actually was. “I’m going now, I still have much to do today.” Tomis said and walked off. “Hey give me back my rake you borrowed soon please” Ned called out. Tomis kept going though, all the way to the edge of his property where it was just him and the woods. As he sat down, he felt more changes begin. He suddenly fell forward, as his spine changed to a quadruple stance, with him unable to sit or stand upright anymore. He tried to call out for help, but only let out a pathetic whimper. Then the changes were complete, Tomis looked around panicked, and ran home. He was suddenly overcome with exhaustion and decided to instinctually go to sleep. He woke up the next morning and was relieved to see that he was normal, or that least parts of him were, it seemed he had reverted to human partially. Guess everything else won’t change though. So he went about his day like normal. Again the same thing happened though, changing into a Pokemon entirely. He was constantly feeling drained in that form he found too, eventually realizing the more activity he did the faster he changed. This made it really difficult for him to adjust as he’s used to constantly being outside, but managed by hiring help. It’s common to see him in feral lycanroc form in the evenings due to his hard work ethic. He mostly tries to hide his Pokémon traits, but is getting more comfortable with them. He changes forms based on his temper and how active he is, stage 1 is normal, stage 2 is when he gets angry, and stage 3 is after he works or is active for long periods of time. Things that he dislikes are that he dislikes dogs, technology, lazy people, and likes camping, outdoors, yard work, Pokémon battling, hard work, drinking. He’s 34. His personality is gruff, but caring, tries to hide Pokémon features when out in public, but not at home. Is uncomfortable with being a hybrid, but is accepting it slowly. Will hold tail when uncomfortable, and carves patterns into the stones when bored. Decided to jump on the Pokemon hybrid au by YaoiNek0. Art by Toshi_Toki_
