i rescued my lycanroc as a rockruff puppy nearly 16 years ago. the poor guy was horribly abused, and i found him alone in an alley when i was a kid. he was covered in injuries, hell, even had a broken paw, and was so fucking aggressive... the veterinarians all suspected he used to be part one of those awful fighting rings with dog pokemon... those aren't regular battles... they're almost always to the death... and every day when i look at his scars or see him get triggered by something, i can't help but feel nothing but absolutely murderous intent towards the fucker who did that to him. if i ever see them, i really think i would kill them. i don't think i would regret it, either, and that fact scares me.
