## Appearances

### Debut

The Heart of a Warrior

As of the *Broken Worlds* arc, he is an adopted father to three different young Pokemon, and a senior warrior of the Storm Fighters

## Appearance

Pebble is an unusually small Midday Lycanroc

He resembles a short non-anthropomorphic wolf with pale tan-and-white fur, brown claws, rock-spikes, and ear-tips. He has blue eyes, tufty chest fur, a bushy white mane and thick tail. He has a thin scar visible just in front of his left hip

He is a good bit smaller than the average Midday Lycanroc, being described as roughly two feet tall at the shoulder

## Personality

On the surface, Pebble appears touchy, somewhat snappish, and aggressive

Under the surface, Pebble is a deeply traumatized and somewhat troubled individual. He is very skittish, slow to trust, and very wary around strangers. He only trusts his teammates and direct allies, as well as his family, but he is fiercely loyal to those he *does* trust

Despite all this, Pebble is kind, warm-hearted, and fiercely loyal to the Storm Fighters, and a caring father to his family

## History

### *The Phantom War*

Pebble was born after the War of Darkness was won. He grew up healthy, but things quickly took a turn when the Phantom War started

When the Base was destroyed, Boulder was forced to abandon his confrontation with Infinite to rescue Pebble, who had been cornered by a group of Egg Pawns

Pebble was effectively traumatized by this event, and Infinite had come very close to finishing them both off. This event would stick with Pebble for the rest of his life, affecting his personality as he grew

Much later, during the Battle of the Canyon, Pebble is revealed to have evolved, when he helps Boulder when his father is pinned by several of Infinite's phantom clones

### *Looming Crisis*

Pebble is only seen when Boulder travels to Angel Island before the final battle of the Metal Virus Crisis

When Crystal launches herself at Eggman in a rage, Pebble and Boltrunner hold her down. Crystal then launches herself into Pebble, noting that his smaller size makes it easier to knock him down, though she doesn't like doing it

## Abilities/Skills

Pebble's Ability is Keen Eye(his accuracy cannot be lowered), and his current moveset is Stone Edge, Protect, Accelerock, and Crunch

Being a Midday Lycanroc, Pebble is swift and agile. His small size enables him to squeeze into tighter spaces than his Teammates, though it does also mean that his enemies tend to underestimate him because he is so small

## Trivia

Pebble is prone to panic attacks just like Max, but Pebble's fits see him simply freeze up and not react to anything

Pebble was named after his uncle Crunch. It was revealed by Dawn that Crunch's old name was Pebble, and it was her idea to give her brother's old name to their son

Pebble is the first Pokemon character shown to be smaller than the average. The second is Boomer, who is actually more skinny than simply *small*

Pebble is the third character seen officially adopting a child

* In Pebble's case, he adopted three, all of which are different Pokemon; Hope is a Midday Lycanroc, Flame is a Torracat, Shade is a Zorua

Pebble's way of using Stone Edge, specifically the stone-spire form of the attack, is different from other Lycanroc

* Whereas most Lycanroc slam the ground with their paws, Pebble instead flings his head back and howls, and the attack rises from the ground as normal. Why this is is currently unknown
