When I’m dancing with you, the whole world disappears. #pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #pokemon #charmander #riolu

An illustration of a charmander’s face as he spins, looking at his partner with bright eyes and a toothy smile. The world behind him is all bright smears of color.

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.

New faces on the mountaintop. ❄️🗻 #pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #pokemon #lucario #weavile #froslass

An illustration of a lucario, weavile, and froslass lined up on an icy blue background. The lucario is crouched with a serious expression, the weavile has a cane of ice and a poncho and is grinning, and the froslass is removing a roll of bandages from a bag.

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.

Meeting Dismas. #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.

Tesha @teshamerkel.bsky.social · 14/04/2025

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.)

Asher, Will, and Fidel. #pmd #pokemon #zorua #zoroark #yamask #pokemonmysterydungeon

A drawing of three Pokemon: a playful zorua running by, a yamask explaining something with his hand out, and a much larger zoroark looking back at the two of them with a gentle smile on his face.

A crop of the first drawing, showing a playful zorua running with a big grin on his face.

Human Mystery Dungeon..? 🤔 #pmd #charmander #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.

Memories. ✨ #pmd #riolu #pokemon #pokemonmysterydungeon

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

Happy Valentine's Day! 🩷 #pmd #pokemonmysterydungeon #pokemon #charmander #riolu

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.

What’s an adventure without a few life-risking battles? 🐍 #pokemonmysterydungeon #pmd #pokemon #seviper #riolu

A seviper is attacking a pinned riolu, who is barely holding him off by pushing against his fangs. The lighting is bright with harsh shadows.

First post! An old commission I made for @energyscarf.bsky.social. The team is getting cozy as the weather turns colder! #pmd #pokemon #pokemonmysterydungeon #eevee #shinx

An eevee and a shinx from Pokemon are curled up together, eyes closed and smiling. Their tails are intertwined.
