## **Physical Appearance**

### **Signature**

Her disguised form is a Midnight form Lycanroc with black and white fur. Her arms and legs are pure black save for three slashes of red fur, which indicate her malevolent aura. She has a long, bushy, fox-like tail that is completely white except for a black tip, and red claws and paw pads. She is larger, leaner, and more muscular than most of her species. She has bright yellow eyes with black pupils and scarlet red sclerae. Her eyes will turn red when angered or attacking. As a housepet, she wore a red collar around her neck, as well as a thick vest later on before discarding both after escaping her trainer's control.

Her true form is a ghostly Midnight form Lycanroc/Kitsune hybrid of massive size. She has nine swiping tails that are longer than her own body and glowing yellow eyes. There are two red eyes on each tail with black ovals around them. She has multiple red spots on her body, which are the spirits of deceased individuals she has killed over her lifespan. A gold ring is present on each lower leg; these rings can form portals, allowing her to travel between worlds. Her claws are now made of hard, unbreakable red stone, and the rocks in her mane have grown harder and longer. She has several strands of long, withering fur on several areas of her body fading to red, and she has red facial markings, notably around her eyes and mouth. A larger third eye is present on her forehead between the other two and glows red. She now has six red stripes on each leg instead of the original three.

As a Rockruff, she was mainly black and white with smaller eyes and only had one slash of red fur on each leg. She had a short, white muzzle with a pink nose and a ragged-looking mane around her neck with black pebbles. Her tail curled tightly over her back and she had brown paw pads.

### **Other Variations**

#### **Disguised form**

She has variations of both her forms. While disguised as a Lycanroc, she can also switch to the Midday and Dusk forms. In these other forms, her fur color remains the same except for her claws and the slash marks on her legs; in the Midday form, they are light brown, and in the Dusk form, they are orange.

#### **True form**

She has four variations of her true form: Dusk form/Kitsune hybrid, Midday form/Kitsune hybrid, Yin form and Yang form. In the latter two forms, she is still a Midnight Lycanroc/Kitsune mix, but with different colorings. In the Yin form, she is pure black with white extremities, ear tips, and tail tips, while in the Yang form, the coloration is reversed. In the other two forms, she retains her main fur color with the trademark color-changing claws and slash marks on the legs; like her two other disguised forms, they are light brown in the Midday form and orange in the Dusk form.

## **History**

### **Early Life**

Getsukage was born to Yūhi, a female Dusk form Lycanroc, and Akakage, a Kitsune who'd disguised himself as a Midnight form Lycanroc in order to mate with her. When she was a Rockruff, her mother later found out the truth about her father being a Kitsune and was even more horrified upon discovering that their daughter was half Kitsune. After Getsukage had been weaned and was old enough to start eating meat, Akakage killed Yūhi to prevent her from spilling his secret. Although Getsukage learned the truth and was greatly distraught at her mother's murder, his father promised to raise her, a sign that he still loved her. He taught Getsukage how to fight and kill at a very young age, strongly believing in the survival of the fittest, and would physically punish his daughter if she stepped out of line. As a result, Getsukage quickly learned the concept of discipline and from then on followed her father's orders without question or hesitation. Her father also taught her how to use the nature energy that resided in her. She eventually evolved into Lycanroc, taking on the same disguised form as her father, and gained several tails over the course of years, becoming older, wiser, and more powerful.

One day in her 900th year, Getsukage returned from a hunting trip to find a large group of humans carrying off her father on the back of a large truck. Horrified, she attacked the humans to save Akakage, but her father was already dead, stabbed in the chest with a harpoon. Wanting to bury him, Getsukage tried to fight off the people carrying his body, but there were too many for her to handle. They subdued her and transported her to a nearby town alongside her father's corpse, which they then disposed of. Getsukage herself was taken to a rich man named Davis and adopted as his personal pet as well as his partner. He strictly disciplined the unruly Lycanroc to make her more compliant. Forced into submission, Getsukage harbored a deep hatred for her new master and vowed vengeance. She began formulating an escape plan.

## ***The Wolf***

### **Chapter 1: Causing Trouble**

The story begins with Getsukage running through her master's hometown, causing trouble wherever she goes. It is revealed that her constant disobedience, rebellious attitude, and enjoyment of seeing others suffer have resulted in Davis' popularity waning for failing to get her under control. Getsukage sees Davis persuing her atop his Dragonite and launches a Rock Throw at him. The attack hits the Dragonite and sends it crashing to the ground; Davis recalls it to its Poké Ball and calls for the Lycanroc to stop. Getsukage continues running and destroys a nearby flower stand with Snarl, causing an explosion. For a while, she attacks everyone and everything left and right and brutally injures or knocks out anyone who tries to interfere. Davis, however, remains determined to recapture her. He summons his Garchomp and has it overwhelm her with Mud Slap; thanks to this and the efforts of several other people and Pokémon to stop the rampage, Getsukage is finally subdued. Now lying helplessly on the ground, she looks up as Davis walks up to her, seeing the anger in his eyes. He then punches her in the face, causing her to instantly black out.

She wakes up sometime later in chains and a basket muzzle and finds herself in the infirmary in her master's residence. Getsukage sees Davis talking to another man, who then yells at him and storms away. Davis notices that Getsukage woke up and walks over to her, still visibly upset. He asks her if she has any idea how much damage she did while on her rampage, to which she replies no by shaking her head. Davis then snaps at Getsukage, saying she's cost him loads of money to repair everything she's wrecked. He adds that she's made him less popular not only due to her destructive tendencies, but also because she's hurt more people than he can count. At this, Getsukage contemptuously spits in his face and turns her head away. Furious that she still refuses to listen, Davis yanks her up off the floor, grabs a red vest, and forcibly puts it on her, saying she has a chance to make up for the damage she's caused. He informs her that he's sending her on a mission to capture a Zeraora named Caleb (who is rumored to have been stealing food from the townspeople) and bring him back alive; if she succeeds in the mission, she'll be forgiven for what she's done, and if she fails, she'll be punished even more harshly. Remembering her disciplinary training, Getsukage accepts the mission and halfheartedly apologizes for her actions. Davis, however, angrily rebuffs the apology and leaves her to rest.

### **Chapter 2: Mission Gone Awry**

The next day, Getsukage has recovered from her wounds and is preparing to set out on her mission with Davis. Her trainer tells her that she's the one responsible for properly executing the mission and he and his other Pokémon are only coming along if she really needs their help. Getsukage nods and opens her mouth to speak, but Davis silences her with a glare, telling her she isn't allowed to talk as punishment for the trouble she caused yesterday. He then beckons her to follow him out of the house, and she complies. The two leave the town in silence and head into the nearby forest, where Caleb the Zeraora is rumored to be residing. While trekking through the foliage, Getsukage thinks she's never seen Davis this angry and assumes he's had it with her behavior; she tries to catch his eye, but he looks straight ahead, choosing not to acknowledge her. After walking a mile or so, Davis and Getsukage approach an electric barbed wire sign that reads "Nature Reserve", prohibiting Pokémon hunters from entering under the threat of law enforcement. Davis overs Getsukage to pick him up and jump over the fence, which she does with relative ease. After putting him down, she is ordered to smell Caleb out. When she hesitates, Davis pushes her in front of him and snaps at her to go. Getsukage starts sniffing and quickly catches a whiff of Caleb's scent.

She heads off in the direction of the scent trail with Davis following close behind. After a while of sniffing and wandering, she and Davis arrive at a large clearing in the middle of the reserve where a small cottage is sitting. Davis asks Getsukage if Caleb is inside, and she confirms it by smelling his scent again, which is now much stronger. Davis commands her to lay low in the bushes and wait until he emerges. Caleb does so a while later, calling to someone inside that he's going to get some food. The Zeraora approaches their hiding place, unaware of their presence. Davis nods at Getsukage, and she jumps out at the unsuspecting Caleb.

Davis commands her to use Crush Claw; she tries to land the attack on Caleb, but he quickly dodges and counters with the same move. Getsukage blocks with her rocky mane, but Caleb knocks her away with Thunder Punch and sends her flying into a nearby tree. Winded, she watches as Davis runs at Caleb with a net gun; however, Caleb sees him and traps him with Electroweb, pinning him to the ground. Davis, now desperate, calls for Getsukage to get up and help him; before she can, however, a young woman runs out of the cottage and yells Caleb's name, asking if he's alright. Caleb says yes, and Getsukage flinches when he glares at her. The woman asks what's going on, to which Caleb briefly describes what just happened; he labels Davis as a Pokémon hunter and Getsukage as his accomplice. Angered now, the woman commands Caleb to use Plasma Fists on Getsukage, which he does. Realizing that the woman is Caleb's trainer, Getsukage, angry at Davis, finds the strength to avoid the attack and confronts her trainer for lying to her. When Davis confirms he did lie, Getsukage furiously demands why she should listen to him now and rips off her vest and collar. She turns her back on him, refusing to help him, and tries to leave, but Caleb stops her and attacks with Thunder Punch.

She dodges and manages to hit him with Stone Edge before trying to leave again; however, the woman tries to capture her with a Poké Ball. Even more enraged, Getsukage, remembering her past trauma, turns on her and hits her with Rock Climb. However, she hits the woman harder than she meant to and ends up ramming her into the cottage's wall, accidentally crushing her ribs and killing her. Shocked, Getsukage steps back and watches as the woman's corpse falls onto the ground with a soft thud and a pool of blood begins to form around her. Caleb, recovering from the Stone Edge attack, sees his fallen trainer and yells for her, referring to her as "master". He runs up to her body, examines the damage, and glares at Getsukage. Seeing the rage in his eyes, the Lycanroc becomes scared and backs away from him. Caleb snarls that she killed her, and Getsukage says she didn't mean to. However, Caleb doesn't believe her and furiously attacks her with another Plasma Fists, roaring in rage. The Lycanroc dodges the attack and desperately counters with Earthquake, catching Caleb unawares. Getsukage uses this oppotunity to escape, abandoning Davis in the process, and vows never to return to the reserve for fear of her own safety.
