<I AM RATICATE. YOU KILLED MY FATHER. AND I WILL KILL YOU!> Well that was an entrance. To be fair, the raticate sent flying earlier was probably just fine, if lost in the fog after being thrown so far by that punch. But not every pokemon was the brightest. This explosively emotional raticate that flew out of the grass in a blur clearly wasn't the smartest rat in the litter, but clearly, he was loyal to his family. He chittered at Venom and the other pokemon, ears flat against his skull, growling with spite and fury. <How dare you attack an innocent. He did nothing to you! You're all the same. Humans and human kept pokemon. Just monsters. Monsters who hurt us wild pokemon without care of mercy. I will not stand for this! I will make sure you never hurt anyone else like my father ever again!> The rat then lunged at Venom, rather than any of the pokemon around him, blinded by his emotions. <NOW DIIIIIE!> (No doubt one of Venom's team would slap the rat down before he caused too much hassle.)

Admittedly, both Venom and Koffing were surprised when they suddenly heard a very loud and very angry voice shout at them through the fog and the tall grass. But it only took a few seconds for Venom to regain his composure, watching as the angry Mouse Pokemon appeared before him and Koffing. It took even less time for the ninja to deduce what this Raticate was shouting about, thinking back to Croagunk's very short bout with the wild Raticate that was only trying to enjoy some food. "Woah there! Settle down, big guy! We didn't kill your father! We only-" Koffing raised his voice right back at the wild Normal type, trying to make it see reason, until Venom raised one arm out in front of him, putting a stop to his attempts. "It's no use, Koffing. This Raticate is far too angry for any words to reach it right now."
"Still, I do understand how it's feeling. If anything were to happen to my father, I'd definitely be very upset myself. Be that as it may, revenge solves nothing. This Raticate's father will turn up sooner or later. Most likely after this fog finally fades away. Until then, I believe there's only one thing we can do in this situation." Venom was perfectly calm and composed, keeping his eyes locked on the wild Raticate, but showed absolutely no fear whatsoever. But before he could explain further, Raticate shouted at him once more and charged straight for him with intent to kill. Seeing this, Koffing flinched, then quickly floated out in front of Venom, ready, willing, and able to defend his trainer. "No one's dying today! If you wanna hurt my master, then you'll have to get through me!"
The Poison Gas Pokemon glared at Raticate as it approached, waiting for Venom to give him the order to attack, but the order never came. "Thank you, Koffing, but I believe someone else is already on the case. Isn't that right, Croagunk?" After having it happen to him three times in a row, the Poison type trainer saw it coming this time, as Croagunk suddenly emerged from his Pokeball just before Raticate reached Team Toxic, meeting the wild Pokemon head on with a powerful Drain Punch attack. "Yeah, I'm on, master! Hopefully the son can put up more of a fight than the father!" In the several seconds in which all of this took place, it felt as if everything was happening in slow motion. Venom watched a new battle unfold with a calm smile on his face, Croagunk striking back against the angry rodent with his Drain Punch, and Koffing was watching it all happen with wide eyes of shock and awe.

Venom was a ninja by trade, but negotiating with wild Pokemon who already had bloodlust in their eyes might be out of his expertise, unless he was carrying a much more calming Pokemon or something. Breathing in the KOffing's noxious gases and then seeing the Croagunk's orange and black taunting hands, the Raticate was feeling the opposite of calm. "My father's dead! He is not responding to my cries and we've been grieving since a few hours ago!" The normal type dramatically replied, wailing depressively. Then, in a fits of rage and sadness, it charged forward trying to Take Down the Croagunk. The poison type was slammed right on, but quickly maneuvered himself out of the Raticate's vengeance. Then, the poisonous toad hopped around the ground before landing a powerful Drain Punch. "You! You bring doom to all! I must be with my family at my last breath!" the rodent cried and fled to recuperate from the massive blow. Maybe if he give his father a few more hours, the paternal Raticate would recover soon too.

"Well, duh! We are Poison types, ya know!" Croagunk yelled out a little joke at the wild Raticate as it fled, then snickered to himself a bit. Neither Venom nor Koffing joined in on said snickering, but they didn't let Raticate's words get to them either. Surely, sooner or later, that Mouse Pokemon would reunite with its father and see that he was, in fact, not dead. "Well done once again, Croagunk. Your timing is improving quite nicely. Thank you, my friend. Now, return." Venom gave his Poison/Fighting type Pokemon some praise, then called him back to his Pokeball for some rest. Not that Croagunk needed it, of course. Now that their latest foe had been swiftly dealt with, it was once again time for Team Toxic to resume their quest for an invasive Pokemon from Paldea.
And as luck would have it, the fog finally cleared away, giving rise to a very cold and very slippery environment, blanketed all over route 34. This would make spotting a Bramblin much easier, but it also meant that Venom and all of his earthbound Pokemon would have to watch their step. Fortunately for Koffing, this change in weather didn't affect him in the slightest, as he floated all around his trainer with a big smile spread across his face, taking in all the new sights around him. "Wow! This is so cool! Oh! I made a pun!" The Poison Gas Pokemon laughed out loud, and even Venom found his antics to be mildly amusing, chuckling a little himself before smiling at his hovering Pokemon. "Yes, yes. Mother Nature certainly works in mysterious ways. Now then, let's continue our search, Koffing." Venom began to walk over the frozen grass, placing his hands into his pockets, as Koffing eagerly followed him in the air.

Venom had apparently stumbled into a rats nest because he would soon realize that this stretch of the route was infested with raticate. As yet another rat was sent scurrying off into the distance by a couple of drain punches, ultimately sent off to join its totally not dead rat father who was dispatched in the same manner, Venom would spot a blur of brown. Surely THIS had to be a bramblin! Of course, as he closed in, he would discover it was not a swiftly scampering tumbleweed but a rat stuck on a slippery patch of ice that had formed over a puddle. It was flailing and skittering and then suddenly it was sliding right at Venom with a startled hiss.
<Gah! Outta my way! I can't put on the brakes! Woah!> And right between Venom's feet the wild rat would end up, paws in the air, sprawled on its back, fur all mussed, a baffled expression on its face as it tried to fathom how it ended up in this pitiful, helpless position. <Uh, a little help here? I can't seem to get my footing.> ![res](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/raticate.png) A [LV 20] Raticate is slippin' and slidin' your way!

Given the sheer number of Raticates Team Toxic had encountered so far, Venom was beginning to suspect that Goldenrod City's rat problem was real after all. He had definitely heard the rumors and stories, but this was one of those times when seeing was easily more powerful than believing. And it wasn't just the outer routes of the city either, as the ninja recalled the several Alolan Rattatas and Raticates he discovered while venturing through the Underground Tunnel. Although, given the conditions in which those Mouse Pokemon lived, Venom was still unsure if this city was a paradise for rodent Pokemon or not. Whatever the case, the Poison type trainer hadn't forgotten his current two goals in coming to route 34. To get all of his Pokemon in shape for Team Toxic's future gym battle against Whitney, and to locate and capture at least one or two Bramblins while they were still here to be caught.
And for a brief moment, Venom thought he had finally spotted the Tumbleweed Pokemon in question out of the corner of his eye, quickly turning his entire body to confirm this encounter. Unfortunately, what the purple-haired trainer saw was nothing more than another wild Raticate, sighing in disappointment as he eyed the Normal type. "Jeez! There really are a lot of them around here! Aren't there, master?!" Koffing was still plenty enthusiastic though, floating right by his trainer's side and trying to reignite his fighting spirit out in the cold. "Yes, and this one appears to be having some trouble." Venom remarked, jumping over the wild Raticate with ease as it slid towards him, avoiding the Mouse Pokemon before landing back on his feet safely, not looking to be having the same difficulties as said Raticate had standing on the frozen ground.
Still, never one to turn away a Pokemon in need, Venom walked over to the struggling Raticate, bent over, picked it up, and placed it back on the ground on its own two feet gently. "There you go. I know it's difficult but try to take it slow. And maybe try moving around on all fours for a while. Okay, Raticate?" The ninja offered the Raticate some advice, smiling down at it in a friendly manner, then suddenly got an idea thanks to all of Raticate's sliding around and such. "Hmmm...Maybe that's the answer. Koffing, try sending your Sludge Wave out in all directions. If there's a Bramblin nearby, then surely that much sludge will draw it out. And if it doesn't, then at least your sludge should thaw this frozen ground and make life a bit more bearable for the Pokemon that live here."
The Kantonian trainer explained his idea to the Poison Gas Pokemon floating beside him, standing up straight and turning to face him as he did. Of course, Venom knew that any and all Pokemon in the area would also get caught up in the Sludge Wave attack, but he had plenty of Pecha Berries on hand to fix them up if need be. And besides, he was beginning to grow rather desperate and impatient. "Yeah! Uh-hu! I can do that! Just watch me!" Koffing smiled big, nodding his entire body in confirmation, before floating out into the center of the area he and Venom now found themselves in. Once there, Koffing built up massive amounts of toxic sludge within his body, before releasing them all at once and sending them out in all directions around him. Given his immunity to all forms of poison, Venom didn't flinch or make any efforts to dodge the incoming Sludge Wave. The wild Raticate, on the other hand, was right in the line of fire, as the massive Sludge Wave threatened to drown it in toxins.

It seemed that the ninja's idea to help clear the slippery ice was a good idea. The raticate was quite appreciative when the ninja moved to pick up the creature and set it back on its legs. It didn't quite use all 4 of its legs often but that was good advice considering how slippery the terrain was right now. <"That's a good idea. Though we aren't used to the slippery ice I think I might still slip once or twice."> Such was a thing with how slippery it was around here. However, the Pokemon did stay a moment to listen to the idea of the trainer and his Pokemon. Yet what he didn't realize was the use of Sludge Wave would no doubt them as well, Raticate seemed to focus itself even as the first wave hit him. <"Wait a minute I'm still in the area."> it probably wasn't the only pokemon that was affected but the ice on the ground seemed to slowly start to melt so it was doing its job at the very least. When it didn't seem they were paying attention the Raticate retaliated with a rather strong hit but it wasn't enough to do anything to the koffing and the second wave finished the job washing the Raticate somewhere back in the bushes and completely burning the rest of the ice that was present. Two pidgey and one stone was it? Or something like that.

Venom's plan had worked perfectly, as the two strong waves of toxic sludge caused all the ice in the surrounding area to melt away into nothing. Of course, it also killed all the grass in the area, and injured a few wild Pokemon at the same time. Still, given Venom's natural poison resistance, both he and Koffing were completely unharmed themselves. But as they watched the Raticate Venom aided get washed away by the two Sludge Wave attacks, Koffing started to regret his actions, calling out to the Normal type with some very obvious remorse in his voice. "Oops! Sorry, Raticate! Don't worry! That poison will only sting for a few days!" The Poison Gas Pokemon's statements probably weren't helping, but fortunately for him, his trainer was prepared with a new topic of discussion.
"I'm sure that Raticate will be fine, Koffing. More importantly, that's the third Raticate we've encountered since returning to this area. They're the most common Pokemon found here. Put simply, we're not getting anywhere in our search for a Bramblin." The ninja spoke in a tone of voice containing both determination and exasperation, starting to get a bit frustrated, but was still unwilling to simply give up and leave route 34. "So, what do we do, master?! Do you have another plan?!" Koffing turned to face his trainer, floated over to him, and started questioning, trusting that said trainer had another trick or two up his sleeve. "I was hoping to save this, since they're so hard to come by, but then again, Bramblin are even harder to come by. So, I suppose now is as good a time as any to give it a try."
The Poison type trainer answered Koffing, digging through his bag at the same time, until he found the item he was looking for and pulled it out of his bag for the hovering Pokemon to see. "Woah! What's that, master?!" Koffing once again questioned his trainer, floating as close as he could to the small item in his hand to get a better look at it. The item in question was a small glass bottle, containing some kind of green-colored solution. "This, my friend, is a Lure. I've never used one before, but supposedly, it gives off a scent that rarer Pokemon find irresistible. Granted, that scent won't last long, and there are no guarantees that it'll draw a Bramblin out of hiding, but I believe it's better than just leaving our next encounter to chance."
With quite a few other rare Pokemon found on route 34, including Sevipers, Zangooses, Ponytas, Abras, and Dittos, Venom knew that even though the Lure in his hand would increase their chances of finally finding a Bramblin, it was still quite a long shot. Be that as it may, it was better than running afoul of yet another Raticate. So, having finished his explanation, the Kantonian trainer opened up the bottle, sprayed the green solution all around Koffing and himself, then closed up the empty bottle and put it back into his bag, not wanting to litter. "Now, we wait." Venom commented, keeping his wits about him, as he and Koffing waited for the Lure to do its job and hoping that it would attract the Pokemon from Paldea that they sought. "Well, even if it doesn't work, it's still pretty cool! Hey, Bramblin! Come on out! We know you're out there! And we're gonna find you! No use in hiding!" Koffing shouted out with renewed enthusiasm, very excited to see what would come of his trainer's latest trick.

As the Koffing called out for the swarming species of Pokemon currently venturing around route 34 there was a deafening silence at first. The lure Venom applied to both himself and Koffing seemed to have no effect at first and then all of a sudden a strange flash of light appeared before the two of them. As soon as the flash started to weaken a scrawny looking Abra with a reduced coloration floated in front of both quite interested in what the two were doing. The psychic type had seen plenty of people and Pokemon wandering about however it was a rare sight to see humans and Pokemon pour lure onto themselves to try and attract a Pokemon. Though the sight had indeed been amusing for the Abra it knew that as a shiny that if it stuck around for very long it would likely become the victim of a capture attempt. Unlike most shiny Pokemon however it was a master of teleporting away as soon as it got the chance to do so. It did not want to jump the gun as it did not want to look like a coward however as soon as it picked up on any attempt to be captured it was ready to vanish in the blink of an eye. While it waited to see what the human would try it floated up and down studying the Koffing near Venom as it found the fumes the poison type produced quite alarming and yet intriguing at the same time. For now the choice of what to do next was up to Venom however if he wanted a chance to capture the elusive Abra he would need to be fast and would only get a single try at capturing it. ![](https://www.serebii.net/Shiny/BW/063.png) Shiny Abra (Level 21) appeared) Please select a Pokemon.

For the first minute after applying the Lure, Venom and Koffing waited patiently for a wild Pokemon to be drawn in by it, mentally preparing themselves for battle as they did. However, even with his ninja prowess, Venom didn't expect to be greeted by a sudden blinding light. "Woah! What the heck is that, master?! I can't see it! I think I'm going blind!" Koffing yelled out, as the light had caused both him and Venom to shield their eyes from it. Thankfully, neither of them was actually blinded by it, as the light faded away a few seconds later. As soon as they could see again, the poisonous pair were greeted by a very surprising sight, causing Venom's eyes to widen and a quick gasp to escape from his lips.
It may not have been a Bramblin, but the Pokemon that had been drawn in by the Lure was something even more rare. "That's an Abra, isn't it?! It looks kinda pale! Is it sick or something?!" The Poison Gas Pokemon questioned with great confusion, having only seen this species of Pokemon a few times in his life, but never one like this before. "No, Koffing. It's not sick. It's shiny. Nobody is sure why, but once in a blue moon, a Pokemon is born with a different coloration from the rest of its species. This new coloration doesn't grant the Pokemon any special powers or anything, but given how incredibly rare they are, they're still highly sought after by trainers all over the world. Like that yellow Magikarp we sold to that one trainer a few months ago."
After hearing all of that, it was Koffing's turn to gasp and go wide eyed, eyeing the curious Abra as it floated all around him, doing his best not to scare it off. "...So then, this Pokemon is like some kind of treasure? What should we do, master? Should I try an attack?" Koffing asked, whispering the entire time, figuring that this Psychic type could disappear just as suddenly as it appeared if it became startled for whatever reason. "No. Don't attack it, Koffing. We only have one chance to do anything before this Abra will decide to use Teleport and flee from us. I'm guessing for most trainers, this Pokemon was the one that got away. Hopefully, that won't be the case for us."
Venom began to whisper as well, slowly grabbing a Pokeball from his bag, all while keeping his breathing steady and his eyes locked on the Psi Pokemon. While it was very true that Venom only trained Poison type Pokemon, and he hated the idea of treating Pokemon like currency, even he was far too tempted by the one-of-a-kind treasure before him. If he did manage to catch it, then he could sell it for pretty much anything he wanted, and there were definitely a few things that the purple-haired trainer still wanted. So, while Koffing had Abra distracted, Venom withdrew the strongest Pokeball he had from his bag. An Ultra Ball. Then, after taking a single deep breath to steady his nerves, the ninja used all of his skill and strength, throwing the ball directly at Abra, and prayed to Arceus that it would be enough to capture it.

Venom was correct; plenty of Trainers with both more and less prestige than he had tried and failed to get their hands on this particular teleporting menace. The sickly shine of its golden skin had attracted many a Collector to this neck of the woods, but none had succeeded in pinning down the teleporting humanoid. If this Abra noticed the newest challenger who was trying to capture it, it showed no signs of it, eyes remaining sealed shut as it manifested into existence before Venom. Koffing did his best to distract the Abra, though it was still unclear if the Psychic was even aware of its surroundings. Its head refused to tilt in the direction of the toxic puffball, nor did it seem to look in the direction of the purple-haired ninja. Despite all appearances however, the intelligent psychic's mind was racing. It was smart enough to see this for what it was; a distraction, a pincer movement so that it would be ambushed and caught off-guard. This human would have to do better than that, it thought, summoning up its psychic power into every cell of its body. Its body began to glow in that same bright light that harkened its arrival, preparing to flee from the scene. However, Venom let fly the most powerful of his Poke Balls too quickly to allow this to happen. Just as the Abra had begun to finish the preparations for its teleportation process, the ball struck it in the small of the back, absorbing it into the ball with a bright red light. The ball froze, floating in mid-air for a moment just as the Abra had been doing moments prior. It shook and trembled in the area, bombarded by psychic energies as the Abra struggled. But it was all in vain, the ball clicking and sealing itself shut before falling to the ground limply. Within, the Abra slumbered, sealed within and preparing for its fate as being sold off or traded away. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/koffing.png) Koffing distracted Abra and gained 1050 EXP for his efforts!

As with any attempted capture, Venom and his Pokemon friend watched the spherical device with bated breath, waiting patiently and hoping that their best shot would be enough. Those thirty seconds that the Ultra Ball floated in midair and shook from side to side felt like an eternity, like the world around them had completely faded away. But then, as soon as the ball clicked shut and transported itself into Venom's PC, both Venom and Koffing gained big new smiled upon their faces. "WOOHOO! Alright! It worked! We caught the shiny Abra, master! Let's hurry and find it a good, new home!" Bursting with even more excitement than usual, Koffing shouted out loudly, floating all around his trainer in a circle while doing so. Even though Team Toxic was eager to turn their newly acquired shiny Pokemon into cash, a new Pokemon, or some other third thing, they still wanted to make sure that its new home would be a loving one.
"As much as I'd love to add this little one to our shop, Koffing, I'm afraid our work here isn't quite finished yet. Finding a shiny Pokemon, especially one as hard to pin down as an Abra, is quite the treat, but our main goal in coming here remains the same. To locate and capture a Bramblin before they disappear from this route." As thrilled as he was with his latest achievement, the ninja hadn't forgotten about the mission at hand, going right back to digging through his belongings the moment he finished speaking. "Oh yeah! Right! I almost forgot! But how are we going to do that now, master?! We used our one and only Lure drawing that Abra out of hiding!" Still quite excited, Poison Gas Pokemon questioned his master, blissfully unaware that said master was fully prepared for an outcome such as this.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. Oh, Koffing, my noxious companion, I know you haven't been with me for very long, but you should still know by now that I always have a contingency plan ready to go. I did say that they were hard to come by, but I never said that was our only Lure." Venom gave his poisonous pal a sly grin, pulling out a second Lure from his bag and showing it to him. Upon seeing that familiar bottle of green-colored solution, Koffing let out a gasp, before smiling at his trainer once more. "Master, I'm so sorry I doubted you! Now, c'mon! Let's crack that bottle open and finally find us a Bramblin!" Smiling right back at Koffing, Venom nodded his head, then opened the Lure and sprayed it all around Koffing and himself, just as he had done with the first one. And just like that, it was back to the waiting game for Team Toxic, but they were in it to win it.

It seemed the duo were on the rampage of finding the Pokemon they were desperately seeking. However, it wasn't too bad considering that they were gaining more levels on the way of doing so. The slippery ice on the ground just meant that there was more fun for the Pokemon around as well. However, some were not as happy with the outcome as the others. The use of their earlier ability to melt away the ice caused more Pokemon to come out from where they were hiding. It was something that hopefully would help the duo find the pokemon they were looking for. Was that what they were looking for just ahead? It sure looked like a Bramblin, it rolled like a Bramblin. As the duo scrambled to catch up however it seemed that the pokemon was startled jumping back, wait, did Bramblin move like that? Actually, what was that face on the creature? That was definitely not a Bramblin. Caught in the act the pokemon seemed to revert back to its correct form satisfied that it was successful in playing it's trick on the trainer! ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/ditto.png) A wild Ditto [LV. 21] appeared!

Once more, the poisonous pair waited patiently and silently for the Lure they doused themselves in to take effect, hoping that it would draw a Bramblin to them at long last. They had been here for so long now that Venom now had a battle plan in mind to capture the Tumbleweed Pokemon. Of course, it was completely pointless if they couldn't even find one at all. And then, over the frozen grass of route 34, something suddenly ghosted into view. Pun absolutely intended. "Ah! Master, over there! Is that it?! Let's get a closer look!" Getting ahead of himself, Koffing floated over to the wild Pokemon they saw as fast as he could, refusing to let it get away.
"Koffing, wait! I don't think..." The ninja reached out to his Pokemon and attempted to stop him, as his highly trained senses didn't exactly scream Grass or Ghost at this particular moment. Unfortunately, Koffing's enthusiasm was just a little bit faster than Venom's ninja prowess, as he was already long gone, causing the Poison type trainer to let out a sigh of exasperation. "I thought the wave of disobedience had subsided already. I wonder if father or sister ever have to deal with this from their Pokemon." Venom couldn't help wondering out loud, before making use of his speed to quickly catch up to his Poison Gas Pokemon, wondering just what they had drawn in this time.
Being that the Pokemon they saw wasn't very faster, it didn't take Team Toxic very long to catch up to it, getting their answer just a few short seconds after they did. Looking down at the Transform Pokemon, Koffing began to look rather disappointed. "Awww! What?! A Ditto?! I forgot these guys lived around here too! What should we do now, master?!" Koffing turned to face Venom just as he caught up to him, watching as he withdrew a very familiar Great Ball from his bag and wasted no time in calling out the Pokemon inside of it. "We deal with this opponent, then try again with the next one! You can sit this one out though, Koffing! Seviper will take over from here!"
After one good throw, the Great Ball burst open, and Team Toxic's one and only serpentine Pokemon appeared on the icy ground. "My, my. Is it me, or did it get even colder out here?" The cold-blooded Pokemon asked rhetorically, shivering a bit as she slowly eyed the wild Ditto before her. "A Ditto this time, is it? I haven't seen one of these in quite some time. Or perhaps I did and simply didn't know it. I've never much cared for these amorphous creatures and their never-ending trickery." Even though she was cold, Seviper held her head up high, looking down at the wild Normal type in a superior manner. And, of course, with another battle coming on, she knew very well what this Pokemon's first move would be, not much caring for that either.
With Ditto's one and only trick in mind, Venom was quick to give Seviper her first command, taking full advantage of Ditto's soft and squishy body before it had the chance to mimic Seviper's scaly form. "If you're cold, then let's turn up the heat on this imposter, Seviper! Use Flamethrower now! Back-to-back!" Truly, this was the biggest weakness of Ditto's Transform move. Having to actually waste a turn getting it off while the opponent had plenty of time to go on the attack. "Heck yeah! Burn red hot, Seviper! You go, girl!" Getting his smile and enthusiasm back, Koffing cheered his friend and teammate on, but she shot him a quick glare before carrying out her orders. "Don't ever say "You go, girl!" to me, Koffing! Or mark my words, you'll be next!" Fortunately for Koffing, Seviper directed her flames of fury at Ditto for the time being, building up red hot flames in her jaws before releasing them all towards the wild Normal type.

The ditto was very much enjoying itself, it had run into one of the strange tumbleweed pokemon and it had become clear afterwards that all the trainers scrambling around out here was looking for one as well. Venom was just the latest in a long line of trainers it had tricked, and just today! It chuckled at Koffin's disappointed expression. "What? Am I not what you hoped for? You have quite unrealistic standarts then since I can be anyone you like," it teased and turned to look at the seviper which was called out. "I could replace a whole team without a trainer ever noticing, if I wanted to," it added a bit more malicious. It looked Seviper up and down critically, "pfh, you are boring, I have been you too many times already," it huffed theatrically and got bathed in flames. Suddenly it came flying through the air (when had ditto's learned to fly?!) and slapped onto Seviper's face. A quick shake of her head and it flew through the air again, turning on itself and it landed elegantly as a seviper. It looked down on itself, "I think I know who's the pretties of us, huh?" It teased and got another Flamethrower as 'reward'. "You'll never find anything but me! And you'll never know if it was just me you found, when you encounter something else!" It shouted to them as it scurried away back into the wild, a flurry of snow following its movement. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/seviper.png) Seviper gains 1050 exp!
