Liam recalled his Pokémon, except for Moony, who sidestepped the beam and yipped happily. "You want to stay out for a bit?" Liam inquired. The Rockruff barked once to show his trainers was correct. Liam noted that Rockruff was acting hyper, as he was dashing around and gnawing on things such as legs on couches in the center. Liam scolded him for such acts. Hearing the commotion, Joy approached him.
 "I'm sorry," Liam said as he grabbed Mooney and was actively trying to keep him away from the furniture. "I don't know what has gotten into him. He's usually well behaved." 
Joy informed Liam that a lot of Rockruffs go through this kind of thing and for trainers, especially ones not from Alola, it can be alarming. "These are the signs that a Rockruff is approaching evolution." She said with a smile. She also told him not to worry about that damage, as it is easily fixable. While holding Mooney down with one arm, Liam fished his Pokédex out of his pocket.

"[i]Lycanrock, the Wolf Pokémon, and Rockruff's evolved form. A Rock type. Lycanrock has three known forms. A Lycanrock's move set and personality can vary drastically depending on which form it takes.[/i]" The Pokédex switched to now show one form at a time. "[i]Midday Form: Its quick movements confuse its enemies. Well equipped with claws and fangs, it also uses the sharp rocks in its mane as weapons. When properly raised from a young age, it will become a trustworthy partner that will absolutely never betray its Trainer.

Midnight Form: The more intimidating the opponent it faces, the more this Pokémon’s blood boils. It will attack with no regard for its own safety. It has no problem ignoring orders it doesn’t like. It doesn’t seem to mind getting hurt at all—as long as it can finish off its opponent.

Dusk Form: This strange form is the result of its evolving at dusk. It’s very rare in Alola. Bathed in the setting sun of evening time, Lycanroc has undergone a special kind of evolution. An intense fighting spirit underlies its calmness.[/i]"

Mooney began to calm down some and Liam sat him back down. Liam began to wonder which form Mooney would take.
