Virtus

Born to Cadmus and Marshmallow, the deity and spiritualist of the Tides of the Moon, the small anomaly was treated with a deep respect as a half-deity. Though he had no transformation powers like his little sister, he made up for this in his strange mechanical bology, allowing his mind to act as a sort of supercomputer. His intelligence was almost unrivaled even at a young age, and he enjoyed spending his free time reading books with his Malmal (a nickname he and his sister Smore called their parent Marshmallow when they were freshly hatched).

As well as intelligent, Cadmus also recognized that as Virtus grew older, it found a passion in protecting, starting with Smore of course. Protecting Smore when they were both fresh and new, moving to protecting Denks and Artemis, and even protecting Marshmallow themself on one occasion. So Cadmus brought up the idea to Virtus to become a trained guard, and the little Pokemon became incredibly excited at the prospect. This would mean that it would be able to protect everyone in the Tides, as much as possible. So, they set out to get it situated in the guard barracks, being trained by the same Pokemon that had trained Denks.

When his training was over, and he was promoted to Guard, he remained his usual intelligent and excitable self when he was with his family, but the moment he stepped into the barracks or out in the field, it seemed as if a switch gets flipped in his mind, and he becomes an entirely new, very serious Pokemon. He patrols dutifully, he protects efficiently, and he attacks mercilessly, agains those who would try to take his family down.

Being a guard was hard, but it was fulfilling for Virtus. Whenever an intruder found their way in its sights, it would stop at nothing to get them to stop or leave. However, as time went on, this became a problem as it was starting to simply "shoot first, ask questions later", which as a guard was less and less of a necessity, as there were Pokemon that wanted to join but would try to sneak in to avoid confrontation, only to meet the merciless gaze and power of Virtus just trying its best to do its job.

Cadmus noticed this change in his child, and it worried him. So he decided to sit Virtus down and explain what he was doing was good, but he needed to learn compassion and mercy in certain occasions because while there were those that they needed protection from, there were also those who needed to be protected on the other side that were gong through a lot and were simply scared to cause anymore trouble. Virtus took this advice to heart- knowing his dad knew that he was doing what he was doing and genuinely wanted to correct him caused something within him to soften. Because he was right, there were an unfortunate amount of times that Virtus had attacked a Pokemon that simply needed to seek refuge as quickly as possible from something, and would be quickly reprimanded without explanation. With this explanation though, and this direction, Virtus vowed to do better by his father.

The next time something like this happened, Virtus would get the jump on someone trying to sneak in and hold them down, but hearing its father's words echo in its mind, its grip loosened and its voice softened. It explained who it was and who the group was, and questioned the scared Pokemon gently. After getting the answers and managing to get the Pokemon to calm down, it brought them into the refugee shelter and reported the situation to its guard captain.

This newfound gentleness and compassion found itself a place in Virtus's heart, and the young Pokemon felt a warmth wash over him as his body began to glow and change. Learning the importance of compassion and gentleness even in a serious job like guarding and protecting allowed Virtus the space to evolve, and he evolved into a Pidgeon-Delcatty-Malwyrm. With a new outlook on things in regards to his duties, and a higher databank of information at his disposal due to his evolution, he happily trotted home, excited to tell his family about what happened.
