My first ever MM post. o__o Of my favorite pokemon. <3 

I always have thought I'd start the game as a "Youngster," since a lot of that type of trainer seem to have rattatas.  

Every team I ever put together in Yellow had a rattata in it that got named Lyra, after my pet rat. <3 She has long since died of age. 8( I do frequently miss Lyra. But now I have a dog to take care of. ^^

This rattata illustration + a decade of other art can be found on my devart.
