Desert winds peppered at the lone traveler. Hot, stinging sand digging into every crevice that it could find within the folds of his clothes. Perhaps it had been foolish to come out here in the sandstorm after all. He could barely see much less find his destination.

Drawing a hand above his eyes he attempted to wipe away the grit from his face though that only served to move the dirt around instead. It was a futile endeavor, he was never going to make it to his caravan like this. Water sloshed at his belt, a precious resource that his friends needed.

There was a tap on his shoulder.

Whirling about he drew his weapon, a rusty knife, from its hidden sheath only to be met not with a weapon in kind but instead a smile.

"Need a guide friend?"

Standing before the dumbstruck human was an anthropomorphic Flygon. A beast neither fully man or Pokemon but a strange mixture of the two. Red lenses flashed in the desert storm as he looked amused by the human's gaping expression.

"Come on now, best close that up before you start swallowing dirt." With a burst of his diamond-like wings, the sandstorm was suddenly gone. Vanquished by the creature's power.

Leaning back with a satisfied grin, the humanoid Flygon offered a hand. "The name's Rygone. Rygone the Flygon." he chuckled, "Pleasure to meet you."

Drawn up as part of an artist's exchange, this was a species that I've had teased as a part of my name a few times. So I figured, why not! Let's go all in!
