Gulex the Fusion

## Biography

Once, Gulex (Pronounced Guh-lex) was two beings, a shy yet tough Lucario named Gunther, and an outgoing and protective Ditto named Alex. Both were once members of LCM who specialized in various areas of guild work. While Gunther specialized in capture, Alex would focus on rescue and defense. Their combat styles were both brutal with Gunther, yet strategic with Alex. Both of them together made a very focused team with high scores in bringing in criminal Pokémon.

Gunther was born into a loving family, choosing to help them run their shop at home. And thankfully, once they entered their formative years they supported them in becoming a guild worker. Gunther was trained by his first Partner to be a skilled combatant, though they were a little rough in comparison. Gunther's first Partner was Alex, a Ditto who lived as their neighbor. And growing up, they grew to respect each other.

Alex was born as a prodigy child in a poor family, as a ditto capable of memorizing certain Pokémon to transform into. As a member of La Casa Monstro, they were great for capturing others and defusing tense situations. Through Gunther, they grew strong, and became close as adults.

These Pokémon were the first partners that chose to become mates in LCM for a long while. And their love was often their source for inspiration to keep going. Recently, a point blank gas explosion caused the two to fuse together into a new being. The explosion destroyed Gunther's limbs and damaged his brain, and nearly incinerated Alex in their own home. The explosion knocked Gunther on top of Alex. With Alex's gelatinous body slowly being destroyed by the heat of the flames, it instinctively entered Gunther's body to survive. Upon regaining a form of semiconsciousness, Alex realized that neither of them would survive. Using what little instincts they had left, they fused with Gunther's organs and brain. Unfortunately, the Fusion of the brain had disabled their consciousness. But thankfully, the fusion successfully saved Gunther's body, and restored his limbs. However, merging with the brain had altered the personality and body of the Pokémon. The attempt to rescue them from their homes, both Pokémon were declared "dead", with only one body recovered. And Gulex woke up in a morgue as a lost soul with no recollection of who they were, nor how to speak. After escaping the town of Redpetal, the lost souls found their way into the soul circle, hearing it's call from miles away. After resting in the area besides their bonded stalks, Gulex woke up for the first time. The body of which altered in their sleep subconsciously. Subconsciously, this Fusion was based love.

## Personality

Gulex initially carries a confused persona, being unable to understand most eccentric identities. Through meeting others and going on guild missions, they developed a mixed personality from their original counterparts. Where Gunther was brash, Alex was kind, allowing for a polite yet blunt Gulex. This is only an example of a few traits. Gulex is a strategic mastermind, using conversations to subtly set up battlefields to defeat opponents. They are often protective over Pokémon deemed weaker than them, and carry high regards towards others stronger. Though they carry a respectful demeanor, they are often shy when mentioning of kind things towards them.

## Ability

Morph is a custom ability that doesn't allow the entire body of this Pokémon to change. Only allowing the user to change one Limb to meet a certain function. They can copy the Limb of any Pokémon. This comes with drawbacks like weight and typing. If the opponent is a dark type the user takes recoil damage from whatever Limb they copy. If they take a Limb from something too large they can't get rid of it. Only when they relax can they return to the Lucario limbs. Downside of being a Lucario is that calming down can only happen after a battle has concluded. So they can be anchored down if a heavy limb is taken. They can't morph into random limbs either, nor if their vision is impaired. Nor do they take the full typing, so if they take a hit from a dark type in their Lucario body it'll still be super effective unless hit in that limb. Can't get dragon pulse twice.
