[Collaboration] Volcanic training

 Effort Ribbon Awarded! 


   Demonic red eyes glowed in a underground cave that was lit ever so dull by the volcanic magma that lazily swirled around age hardened ash that had long turned into rock. This was the lair of Vampire, commonly called Vamp for short. A gorgeous hybrid of a Vaporeon and Houndoom, Pup to Hellhound and Sacha. Despite being owned, He held no bonds to his trainer beyond the human owning his pokeball. Preferring to stay in his cave unless summoned. Training alone and practicing with unfortunate wild pokemon to increase his skills.
    Born the runt of the litter, it was fretted the pup wouldn't survive so the breeders took him away from his mother to tend to him personally and make sure he got plenty of vitamins. That little bit of extra care did its job and more. The pup quickly grew and even surpassed his siblings in height and weight. When the litter was a month old they reintroduced him to his siblings, but he seemed distant and almost uninterested in the other pups. Instead preferring to play by himself and sleep in his own little nest.  Its assumed that being removed from his mother so early that he never bonded emotionally to anyone or thing.
    As a adult the beastly sized hybrid stood at over five foot to the shoulders and almost 8 feet on his hind legs. He was happiest being surrounded by the intense heat of the volcano where he practiced and trained for hours on end until he tired enough to go soak in the lava. Today was any other normal day, using moves he'd already learned to make sure he didn't forget them. His teeth beginning to glow with a humming blue lightning as it arced between his fangs, fizzling and growing as it glowed strongly, as for what he was preparing to strike at... well I don't think it would be wise to find out!
