Tobias’ family! Buncha fire lizards. 🔥🦎

A crop of the third image, focusing on Tobias and his mother. A crop of the third image, focusing on Tobias’ father and sister. An illustration of Tobias’ family. His parents are charizards, and he and his sister are much smaller charmanders. Tobias’ dad is hunched over to look at his sister, who is jumping in the air and cheering. Tobias is looking troubled, holding onto his scarf, while his mother—wearing a blue scarf with a mail pin and a satchel stuffed with letters around her neck—looks fondly at her family.

A harsh climb.
#pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon
An illustration of a sprawling snowy mountainscape. In the bottom corner, in the shade of the mountains, we see a few Pokemon camped out on a cliffside and looking out over the view, including a zoroark, a riolu, a charmander, a skiddo, and a rookidee.

Dark days.
#pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #charmander #riolu
A gloomy scene of a ruined city of stone. It’s raining. On a mound of rubble, a riolu sits on her knees, looking defeated, while we see the back of a charmander beside her. His tail flame lights them in orange, the only light and color in the dark landscape.

#pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #pangoro #riolu #charmander #pokemon
In a dim, green-tinted, metallic room, we see the backs of Tobias the charmander and Nia the riolu as they hold hands. They are dwarfed by the massive pangoro sitting in front of them, his head low and his arms chained to the ground. The atmosphere is dark and menacing.

You’re not fooling anyone, Tobias.
#pmd #pokemon #charmander #riolu #pokemonmysterydungeon
A sketch of a smiling riolu hugging a charmander from behind and lifting him off the ground. The charmander is waving his arm around and seems to be protesting, but he’s blushing. There’s a small caption above them that says (He loves it.)

Face to face. #pmd #pokemon #giratina #riolu #pokemonmysterydungeon
A painting of Giratina from Pokemon in the Distortion World, which is an endless void of blue and black. He is looming over a speck of a figure, who on closer inspection is a Riolu.

Nia, a riolu, reaches out for a ball of light. She's floating in a dark void, other lights dotting the background like stars.

A picture in pastel colors of a riolu kissing a charmander on the cheek. The charmander looks a bit surprised, and is blushing. There's a heart between the two of them.
