Obsidian

Obsidian or just simply Obi is a major character in Obsidian's Story. He is Kualono's mate and the father of Kopako. He is Naomi's sixth known Pokémon, but was released in the end of Nanu's Revenge.

Description
He is a hybrid between and  and shares characteristics of both species. He is mostly blue-grey in colour, with a white ruff and long, white, bushy-furred, curly tail. His front paws are bright white in colour, while his back paws blend in with the blue-grey fur. Several black rocks stick out from his white ruff. Several scars line his face, neatly etched in three parallel lines. His eyes are dark green to greenish-black, depending on the angle. According to Naomi, his fur is silky.

Obsidian is often reckless and fearless, attacking anything that threatens him, his mate or his daughter. Outside of battle, he is usually stoic, brave and generally optimistic. Rarely objects to be being petted and enjoys it. He also enjoys being carried by Lolani, in her feet. He loves to be petted and hugged by humans, despite being a semi-wild Pokémon.

He typically acts more like a dog than a cat, but is an expert stalker, his paw pads barely making a sound while hunting. In chapter 30, it is shown he can tell between many smells, including the difference between various food smells, burning wood, coffee, other people and many other smells. This coincides with the sense of smell of real dogs and wolves.

In Blu's Tale
Obsidian was born to Blu and Swift during the story.

After Blu's Tale/In Obsidian's Story
Sometime after Blu's Tale, he runs away, much to Libelle's chagrin.

He encounters Kualono and her claws connected with his face, causing the three scratch marks upon his face. He attacks her using Stone Edge, which is super effective against Kualono's typing. However, their battle ends in a tie.

After Obsidian's Story/Before Nanu's Revenge
He also has a mate, named Kualono and a daughter, named Kopako. He claims that they've tried too many times to have a child, only for her to either miscarry or not become pregnant, which means one of them has a reproductive disorder.

His eyesight is a bit blurry in his left eye but is unknown as to how it happened.

In Nanu's Revenge
He lost his mate, Kualono to a blizzard and Lolani explains that she might still be alive in a cave. He decides to go with Naomi, letting her capture him, as her team wasn't full. Naomi sees them off, letting them go back to Mount Lanakila to look for her.

In chapter 30, Lolani carefully picked him up, despite his slight protest. He soon discovered that he liked being up high. He teased and asked Lolani if Vod'dan was her mate, but she started blushing. A strong wind picked up, carrying her off and letting go of Obsidian. He falls quite a distance, but the snow cushions his fall; however, his cheek got scraped up by a rock, causing a tooth to fall out. He tries to regain consciousness but fails in doing so. A short time later, he hears footsteps. He shakes the snow and ice off his fur. He closes his eyes as he feels he is being carried by Olivia.

He later wakes up inside a cabin, covered up by a blanket and lying down beside a fireplace. He looks around and sees various photos, including one with Olivia, Nanu, Hala and Hapu. He also sees a photo of Molayne, Kahili, Acerola, Kahi and Olivia. Also beside him was a bowl of Pokémon food, which he admits he doesn't really care for, and a bowl of water, which he quickly laps it up.

His cheek begins to burn in pain, and he starts to whine. Kahili notices this, after coming out of a shower, and calls Obsidian "little guy" and tells him he's been unconscious three days. She then calls out to

Olivia comes into the room, wondering what Kahili was yelling about him, and he recognises her as the person in two of the photos.

A month after Nanu and Naomi's wedding, Naomi decides to release Obsidian, along with Kopako, Vod’dan and Lolani, as well as Gigi releasing Kualono, so they can be free again.

After NR/before NP
Sometime before the start of the story, Kualono is pregnant again, carrying one of his babies.

In Nanu's Paradise
He reappears in chapter 9 of NP, being reunited with Naomi, Nanu, Gigi, etc. after ten years of not seeing them. He first attacks them, not realising who they were, and telling Kualono to stop mock attacking them, finally realising who they were, feeling guilty. He wraps his front legs around Naomi, Naomi wrapping her arms around him as well, embracing and crying for a few minutes.

He eventually joins Mathéo’s team, along with Kualono joining too.
