Raptor

He is the main protagonist in *Raptor*. He starts out as a pack leader, but his pack is later disbanded by a group of Reshiram, forcing him to live alone. He is later captured by the Reshiram Starfire and brought to a Pokémon Youth caring facility, where he lives for the next week. He then escapes, but is recaptured and instead brought to an army camp where he is forced to work with other Pokémon. While fighting in battle, he later Mega Evolves into Mega Sceptile with a special stone: a Sceptilite with the properties of an everstone. The Mega form becomes Raptor's permanent form.

Earth, Lightning, Wind, Water, Wood, Yin, Yang

## **Physical Appearance**

### **Original Form**

Originally, Raptor was a green Sceptile with black extremities and red rims under his yellow eyes. There were two rows of yellow seeds running down his back, and his palm-branch-shaped tail was made of black leaves. The crests on his head were also black and his lower jaw was red. His feet resembled a *Dromaeosaur's*, with large sickle claws on the third toes. He had three fingers on each hand. In captivity, he wore a black leather band with his Sceptilite around his neck. He was rather small and stocky for a Sceptile.

### **Permanent Form**

After Mega Evolving, Raptor becomes more physically fit, gaining a lean, well-muscled frame and longer limbs. The red rims under his eyes have turned to vertical slash marks and the entire upper half of his head is now black. He gains thick black stripes going down his sides, and the seeds on his back are larger, with the last pair turning red and the pair above turning orange. His feet are more developed, with the toes and claws being longer. His tail has lengthened, with the end now resembling a pine tree and developing a red stinger on the tip. Red stripes encircle the base of his tail, and he now has a yellow underside that reaches his lower jaw. Covering his chest and shoulders are plates of darker green leaves similar to those forming his tail. His more pointed head crests have a round portion missing from the middle. The leaves on his wrists are also more pointed, with the upper ones having red tips and half circles cut out of the middles. He gains two additional fingers on each hand.

### **Chapter 1: Worry**

The story starts out with Raptor and Icicle lounging in a grassy bed and watching everything that happens in their pack's camp. Feeling proud of his pack, Raptor keeps snuggling with Icicle until Rusty walks up. Raptor lifts his head and asks what's going on. Rusty informs him that a Camerupt has wandered into the pack's territory, adding that he and Dragonfly saw it themselves. As he's speaking, Dragonfly rushes up; Raptor notices his eyes are wide in fear. Dragonfly exclaims about the Camerupt's huge size and asks what they should do. Icicle looks at him as if he's an idiot and tells him they kill it, adding that it would feed the entire pack for days. Dragonfly objects, and when Icicle annoyedly asks why, reminds her of the time the group of Reshiram stopped them from killing a Bouffalant, saying they were endangering the species by killing off individuals for food. He adds that they moved to their current home afterward, but has seen that the Reshiram have been following them.

Inwardly noting this to be a bad sign, Raptor agrees with Dragonfly's point and tells him and Rusty to each take a patrol and search the entire territory for any sign of the Reshiram. He tells them if there are any Reshiram, then they leave the Camerupt alone, and if not, they attack it. Rusty nods in understanding and calls a patrol with him before leaving the camp. Dragonfly stays put, his wings shaking a little, before he reluctantly complies with the order after Icicle's reassurance that nothing will go wrong. Alone with his mate again, Raptor tells her things will go fine. Icicle says she hopes so, and Raptor takes her hand and reassures her that they will. Inside, however, Raptor is also doubtful about the whole situation.
