There was no emotion to the battle. Neither the nerd nor the Magnemite even acknowledged that the trainer had substituted his Pokemon for the fight. It was as if they were AI robots running on a script that did not allow for changes or adjustments to the way things were supposed to go. Sure, it made the fight a little bit easier, but surely it was a little disconcerting. Especially since this nerd was a person, who was very, very unlucky. White hot flames erupted from the jagged maw of the saber toothed snake and engulfed the Magnemite. Even though the snake was no true fire Pokemon, such a devastating weakness was apparent and it did a lot of damage. In fact, Seviper was hurting the magnemite so much that the metal from the screws on the face of the electric type was starting to melt and run, dripping onto the floor. The metal drops sizzled for a second before hardened. With a thud, the magnemite fell to the ground, its lone eye crossed out and defeated. While the opponents Pokemon were strong, it was clear that Venom did not come to play around here. The defeated steel Pokemon disappeared in a flash of light, before a third and final poke ball floated in front of the nerd and when the latch was telekinetically opened, a much larger form, a Magneton, appeared. Clearly the boy's best Pokemon, the expressionless electric type blinked and seemed ready to charge up, following unheard orders from a trainer with no mental function at the moment. Level 30 Magneton, will Venom change Pokemon? Koffing at 34/71 HP ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/seviper.png) Seviper gains 1,350 Exp for the victory.

Even though Venom never cared for other human beings, he couldn't help but take notice of the emotionless expression present on the super nerd's face. And more importantly, what lied behind that emotionless expression. Venom wasn't a psychic by any means, but this ninja training had given him a kind of sixth sense, and he put it to good use as he stared right into Teru's eyes, narrowing his own. As far as the Poison type trainer could tell, the real Teru was locked away behind that blank expression, shouting out for someone, anyone to come and save him. Again, Venom never cared much for humans at all, but he still found all of this to be downright revolting. To him, the use of mind control was one of, if not the worst things any living being could do to another.
Especially when the being behind the hypnosis was a Poison type Pokemon. The longer this unexpected side quest went on, the more determined Venom became to put an end to the wild Gengar's schemes once and for all. Luckily, Seviper demonstrated once again that she was more than a match for any and all Steel type Pokemon that came her way, holding her head high and smiling proudly over her defeated and half melted foe. "Hmph! Honestly now. Did you really believe that this little piece of junk would be enough to take me down? Tell me, is this truly all the dreaded Steel type is capable of?" Asked and answered, as Magnemite was quickly swapped out for its evolved form, floating in the air and looking like it could put out a much strong jolt than Magnemite and Voltorb combined.
Be that as it may, neither Venom nor Seviper flinched, their resolves resonating with one another and driving them to fight on and win at any cost. "Be confident, but not cocky, Seviper! Frankly, I've seen enough of this madness for one day! My patience has reached its boiling point, and this Gengar will pay for what it's done! And in case it's watching us right now, show it why it was a grave mistake to play these games while Team Toxic is around! Turn up the heat and use another Flamethrower at that Magneton now!" Venom's tone and facial expression were both very serious, as his eyes changed into a pair of snake eyes while he spoke. Clearly, the Kantonian trainer was done playing around. "Oh, I do so love it when you get those eyes, master darling! They are simply divine!" Continuing to smile, and even starting to blush slightly, Seviper faced the Magnet Pokemon and let loose with yet another stream of blistering flames.

The seviper breathed blistering flames upon the magneton, but the electric type was faster, gathering energy between its magnets that shifted to bright, primary colors. Suddenly the little orbs twisted away from the magneton to form a triangle with energy pulsing between the three points, and that energized pulse surged forward to slam into seviper. Hard. It wasn't enough to send her attack off course, but it was enough to show that this pokemon was quite powerful. Enough so that it was possible that if she was a level weaker or it a level stronger...she might not be able to endure a second blow. And a second blow did come. Same as the first. And this time, the triangle seemed to become tangled around the serpent and she felt her whole body tense as electricity danced along her scales. Her movements became sluggish. She struggled to open her maw as her form twitched and strained. Paralysis. But fortunately, before her foe could strike her down, she breathed flames once more, so hot that the steel type wavered, glowing like metal in a forge, before dropping to the ground with a resonate CLANG. It was returned quickly to its ball and the human stood there like an puppet without someone pulling his strings to live. His expression was still blank. Then suddenly, he reached into a pocket and just...threw money at Venom in a jerky, uncontrolled movement. Still unspeaking. If Venom continued to confront him...he would just...collapse, like the thing that was controlling him had abandoned its hold for now.

Yet another battle had been won by Team Toxic, and another Steel type had learned the hard way that Team Toxic definitely weren't to be taken lightly. With his highly trained reflexes, Venom easily caught the money that was thrown at him, tucking it away into his pocket afterwards. As for Seviper, she made use of her Shed Skin ability, taking a moment to shed her skin and rid herself of the paralysis that Magneton had inflicted upon her. "Phew!...Shedding can be such a chore at times. But I must admit, I do love how clean and pure my scales look afterwards. Wouldn't you agree, master darling?" Seviper commented on her new and improved appearance, looking and sounding quite satisfied, before looking to her trainer for his thoughts.
The ninja smiled at his serpentine companion, nodding his head at her and paying her a complement as well. "You look lovely, Seviper, as always. And you defeated a Steel type that was several levels higher than you are now. A very impressive showing indeed, my friend." Seviper smiled and blushed at such praise, very happy to be hearing such kind words from her beloved trainer of all things poisonous. "Oh, master darling, stop. You're making me blush. I never could've pulled something like this off without your guidance. Give yourself some praise as well." Venom smiled and nodded at her once more, but then lost that smile, as he turned his attention back over to the super nerd before them.
Clearly, Teru had been freed from Gengar's control, but it seemed as though he still wasn't quite all there, so to speak. Although Gengar was a Poison type, Venom wasn't entirely sure if Teru would be okay or not, having not encountered situations such as these very often at all. Regardless, it was just another reason to confront this Gengar and finally put an end to its misdeeds. "This human is of no concern to us, Seviper. Let's keep moving. We still have a very arrogant Gengar to deal with." With that, the purple-haired young man called the Fang Snake Pokemon back to her Great Ball for some rest and relaxation, then continued down the underground tunnel, walking right past the dazed super nerd. Hopefully, Team Toxic's next opponent would finally be the Gengar that had been giving them nothing but trouble since their return to Goldenrod City's underbelly.

With the possessed trainer defeated, Venom was able to continue walking, though he was probably starting to wonder how much more he would have to deal with in this tunnel. The lights above him flickered, almost threatening to go out and leave the trainer in the pure blackness of these tunnels. For some people, that would probably be a full fledged nightmare, drenched in darkness with a malevolent spirit around. Faint laughter surrounded the poison master as he walked forward, proving that he was at least headed in the correct direction. Once again the hallways seemed to stretch in front of him, an optical illusion caused by his constant movement forward with the plain walls around him. Finally, he seemed to reach a dead end, the tunnel ending abruptly with the closed off room. It seemed to be some kind of generator room, a large machine in the back corner humming softly. Maybe it powered some of the buildings on this side of the city. Suddenly, a pair of eyes appeared by the far wall, two large red eyes almost staring through Venom's soul. "Well done trainer, you got here," the voice said, projected right into Venom's mind. "This will be your tomb," it said, before cackling. The eyes flickered and disappeared for a second, before the entire Pokemon appeared. Gengar was large, apparently having lived in these tunnels for a long time. How it managed to evolve was a good question, unless it was one of those abandoned Pokemon who had gone rotten from the emotional abuse. Laughing still, the Gengar floated above Venom.

Despite the rather creepy and haunting elements that surrounded him, Venom continued to press onward, displaying absolutely no fear or hesitation at all. This Gengar was going to pay for its misdeeds, and Team Toxic were going to be the ones to make it happen. No matter what. "You'll have to do a lot better than this if you wish to scare me off, Gengar! If anyone should be afraid here, it's you!" The Poison type trainer threatened the unseen Shadow Pokemon, knowing that it must've been somewhere close by, watching his every move by this point. But still, Venom didn't care, far too determined to even think about turning back now. And soon enough, the end of the hallway was within his sight.
Coming to a complete stop as soon as he reached it, the ninja narrowed his eyes, able to sense the presence of a very powerful, and very evil Poison type Pokemon. The wild Gengar was definitely here, and this was only confirmed once Venom saw its big red eyes and heard the sound of its voice. Still showing not even the smallest hint of fear, Venom glared right back into the Gengar's eyes, maintaining his unwavering resolve. "Silence! You give Poison types a bad name! Your careless actions end today! Team Toxic is here to make sure of it, Gengar!" Venom's voice was bursting with confidence and determination, but as the Gengar fully manifested before him, he began to see just how daunting the mission he had chosen to undertake really was.
Just one look, and Venom could tell. This was one very powerful Gengar. It may very well be on par with even Morty's Gengar. And given that Venom hadn't even managed to best Whitney in a gym battle yet, it was clear that this battle would prove to be anything but easy. Be that as it may, the Kantonian trainer wasn't about to just turn around and run away. If he did, he'd never be able to forgive himself, knowing that more would suffer at the hands of this Gengar, and the opinion of Poison type Pokemon would only get worse and worse with each, and every atrocity committed by this spectral entity. "Where's a Grafaiai when you need one? Oh well." Venom said to himself after a small sigh, then grabbed a Great Ball from his bag and activated the spherical device.
"You're up first, Grimer! Let's give this out best shot!" Starting out with an obvious type advantage, the purple-haired trainer tossed his Alolan Grimer into the fray, hoping that she'd be enough to wear Gengar down, or even beat the Poison/Ghost type all by herself. As soon as she appeared, Grimer looked up at the wild Gengar and glared at it right away, knowing that it must've been the troublemaker they had been searching for since they returned to the underground tunnel. "We're ready for you! Shall we try our battle plan for Whitney's Miltank, master?!" The Sludge Pokemon questioned her trainer, never taking her eyes off of Gengar for a second. "Exactly what I was thinking, Grimer! So, start off with Minimize! Then right into Knock Off!" Venom gave Grimer her orders, and she did her best to carry them out, as both trainer and Pokemon knew that Gengar would likely try some underhanded methods to hinder their plan.

"Scare you?" The Gengar laughed. "This isn't about you! I am just laughing and enjoying myself! I am in a great mood today and I won't let you ruin it!" It giggled some more. It was delightfully enjoying possessing some Pokemon and weak-minded humans today, as it pondered how long it would take to weaken this one's mind. It grinned when the human protested some more. Alas, all the humans sound so tough before they were hypnotized to be its underlings. "I will talk all I want. Here's some 'earplugs' if you really don't want to heearr me." The Gengar dangled two nasty looking wireless headphones covered in mold, sewage, and goo on it, taunting the human. "Poison Types? I am giving the ghost types have a great reputation out here though! People have a great reaction when they hear about the ghost types of Goldenrod City!"Gengar didn't care who this Whitney was, but upon seeing the differently colored Grimer, it grinned as its prey was finally ready to fight and struggle. Before the Grimer could react, its eyes glowed red as it stared deep into the Grimer's soul. "Sshhh..." It manically tried to lure the opponent to sleep. Thankfully, the Grimer wasn't paying attention enough as she shed some of her grime to minimize herself denser. Then, the Gengar's eyes glowed bright and summoned some bright swirling lights around the slightly smaller Grimer. The spectral illumination swirled and spun around the Grimer at high speed and strange pattern, making the Grimer effectively confused and hit herself against something. "Heeheehee, you're mine! It's easier for both of us if you don't fight. Now, human, why don't you knock off that tough facade?"Wild Encounter Weather: Clear [attr="class","qkt-bkgd"] [attr="class","qkt-wild-pkmn"] Gengar LV 35 HP 100% [97/97]

Venom continued to glare at the wild Gengar, making sure to keep his mind sharp and his willpower strong at all times while facing it. Unlike Gengar's previous victims, Venom would see it coming when the Shadow Pokemon would try to possess him. Plus, all of those other people and Pokemon were relatively untrained compared to the Poison type ninja. Still, that didn't stop him from becoming a bit more irritated in the face of Gengar's taunts and bold claims. "Ghost types? Ghost types don't need any more help winning over the masses. It's just as you said. Many humans love Ghost type Pokemon for one reason or another. As much as I hate to admit it, that's been an undeniable truth since the invention of the very first Pokeball."
"But that's all the more reason why Team Toxic can't afford to simply give up in our mission! And given your reputation, you'll make a fine steppingstone on Team Toxic's rise to the top! If we can defeat you, then all of Goldenrod City will know the true power of the Poison type!" Venom declared with an extreme amount of pride in his voice, not faltering for even a second. Not even when Grimer had become confused as a result of Gengar's Confuse Ray. Still, she had managed to dodge the Hypnosis, and she had shrunken in size, which would make it harder for Gengar to land any more moves from this point onward. Still, rather than run the risk of a superpowered Hex attack, the ninja quickly grabbed a certain berry from his bag.
"How's this for a facade?! Grimer, heads up!" Venom waited for just the right moment, then tossed a single Persim Berry right into Grimer's mouth. The Sludge Pokemon chewed and swallowed it straight away, then immediately shook her head from side to side, breaking free from her confused state. "Oh my!...That was dreadful! Simply dreadful! Is that really what this Gengar has been doing to its victims so far?!" Grimer questioned out loud, still haunted by the visions she saw during the minute she was under the Poison/Ghost type's control. "If it happens again, I've got more Persim Berries, Grimer! But for now, try Knock Off again!" Venom grabbed another Persim Berry from his bag just in case, while Grimer slithered over to Gengar and tried once more to land her first blow of this fated bout.

"A fruitless battle you insist on when could so easily just submit. You know you want to~ It would be more fun for me if you just knocked off this whole insistence that you are somehow superior to myself. That I will be your stepping stone versus the other way around." The gengar mocked. It watched Venom heal his grimer with narrowed eyes and sneered. "Is that really your strategy? I can so easily thwart it." Those menacing eyes glowed again, but the grimer was much smaller now. A harder target and a little more leery of the ghost after being confused by it once. It snarled when it noticed that the grimer kept moving like it still had its head on straight. "No matter. This battle is far from over!" But before it could do anything else, the grimer lurched up and slapped the ghost hard with a sludgy fist, early a hiss of disdain from the gengar, those eyes flashing again. That. Hurt. The ghost seemed to swell in size, its gaseous form ballooning to loom over them, as if to intimidate them with that little trick.

As Venom continued to listen to Gengar's words, he suddenly found himself clenching his fists tightly, thinking back to all the times he witnessed Poison type Pokemon being put down. "Just submit, you say? No, I can't do that. And it's not just because I have no desire to become one of your puppets. If I just give up and submit to you, or anyone else for that matter, I'd never be able to face my own Pokemon ever again. Nor would I be able to face my father and sister back home. They've all entrusted the future of Poison type kind to me, and I sooner forfeit my own life than let them down. I mean that. So, no. I will never submit to you or anyone else. Not until Team Toxic has dethroned the champion of Johto and shown the world that Poison type Pokemon are not to be ridiculed ever again."
The ninja glared up at the Shadow Pokemon as he spoke, his voice underflowing with pride, both for his family and for the venomous Pokemon he loved so very much. It would take a lot more than a power-hungry Gengar to cause this trainer's willpower and resolve to waver. And as soon as Grimer knocked said Gengar down onto the ground, Venom stopped glaring up at it, and started glaring down at it instead. What's more, Gengar's sudden expansion and intimidation tactics, much like its attempts to make Venom submit, had absolutely no effect on Venom or Grimer. "Really now! Resorting to such simple-minded intimidation tactics after taking only one hit?! Have you no shame at all?! Or do you really think so little of us?!" Grimer glared at Gengar as well, giving the Poison/Ghost type a good scolding for its rather immature actions.
In any case, although this Gengar was quite strong, if it was resorting to such desperate tactics, then it was probably safe to assume that one more hit would finish it off. True, it was still faster than Grimer, but that speed meant very little in the face of Grimer's smaller size. "For what it's worth, Gengar, I am very sorry for you. If we had met under better circumstances, I would've gladly found a place for you on Team Toxic. Hopefully, you'll be able to learn a few things from this battle and become a better Pokemon as a result. Now, Grimer, use Knock Off once more! End this madness!" Just as he had done in the previous round, Venom called for Grimer's most powerful attack, and the Sludge Pokemon moved to repeat her actions from said round. "Your days of tormenting innocent people and Pokemon are through!" Grimer declared, stretching up her slimy body and raising her right hand, aiming to strike Gengar down once and for all.

"It is not over! I am not done! I care not for your quest, but only for your defeat! You shall die this day!" The Gengar refused for this to be over. It refused to LOSE to this 'poison' obsessed human who ranted about leagues and family. BAH. Who needed family?! Everyone died in the end. Everyone left. All that mattered in life and unlife was control. Other beings were nothing but pawns and humans were the worst culprits of harm if left unchecked. That mindless drone he controlled like a puppet was better off under his sway, and so would Venom. Its eyes glowed again with menace, and this time, it caught the gengar's sight. That dazzling ray hit the grimer and left the pile of sludge swaying back and forth. It was hard to focus. But it couldn't falter. Not right now when the most important thing it could do was win! Pushing through the confusion, the grimer lashed out an arm and slammed it into the gengar again. As it did so, the grimer felt a shudder pass through its system that would take a while to shake off. Gengar's cursed body had left its mark, temporarily disabling the attack. But that did not matter. Not when the gengar shrieked in outrage at its loss. It couldn't hold a physical form. It slowly deflated until...it vanished into a puff of toxic smoke. Defeated. Venom was victorious.

As Grimer slowly regained her sense of self, both she and Venom looked on in silence, watching as the evil Gengar faded from existence. Perhaps the Shadow Pokemon simply passed on to the next world, but neither of them had any real way of knowing for sure. Similarly, the poisonous pair had no way of knowing what caused Gengar to fall down the path of villainy in the first place. Could it have suffered a grave injustice or betrayal? Or maybe lost someone dear to it at one point in the past? Whatever the case, Venom knew very well that no one simply started out evil, especially not Pokemon. So, despite all the terribly things it had done, Venom gazed upon the last spot where he saw Gengar, then offered it a single bow.
"For what it's worth, I do consider it a shame that things had to turn out this way. I wish you peace in wherever you find yourself in your next life, Gengar. And thank you. Team Toxic shall not waste the experience we've gained from you." Venom's tone perfectly matched his actions, as he slowly raised his head as soon as he finished speaking. All the while, Grimer was still reeling from the effects of Gengar's Cursed Body, as well as the second Confuse Ray, doing her best to recover. She was just grateful that that ability didn't kick in after her first Knock Off attack against the Poison/Ghost type. "Oof...I'm very glad we won and that all of this chaos is behind us now, master...but do you think I could go back to my Pokeball for a while please?...I don't feel so good..."
"Of course, Grimer. You were amazing today. Now, have yourself a nice, long rest. You deserve it." The ninja turned to face Grimer, gave her a warm smile, then called her back to her Great Ball for some much-needed rest and relaxation after what was probably her toughest battle yet. With that, Team Toxic's work was done here. All the people and wild Pokemon in the area were safe, and with Gengar gone, there was little risk of this ever happening again. But, of course, there was still plenty more training to be done. So, Venom turned right around, left the creepy expanse of tunnel behind, and ventured into a new area of tunnels, searching for more opponent for Team Toxic to train themselves against.
However, just as he entered these new underground tunnels, the Kantonian trainer received yet another surprised. One that emerged from this bag with a mouth full of candy. "That was fun! Can we go on another adventure, master?! Please?!" It was the youngest member of Team Toxic. The Baby Pokemon, Toxel. From the sound of it, she heard everything that happened from inside Venom's bag, smiling big with excitement. She was also drooling quite a long, sucking on the one Rare Candy and two Candy Canes that Venom had in his bag, while holding one of his Modest Mints in one tiny hand, and one of Venom's TM99 Sludge Waves in the other tiny hand. Now that she was older and higher leveled, she had learned how to speak properly, it seemed.
Coming to an immediate stop, Venom glanced over his shoulder, then reached back and pulled Toxel out of his bag, holding her in his arms. "Oh, hello, Toxel. Have you been outside your Pokeball this entire time?" Honestly, the Poison type trainer had no idea, far too focused on stopping the wild Gengar to notice the small Pokemon's presence before this point. He was both surprised and impressed at the same time. In response to her trainer's cluelessness, Toxel giggled, finishing the Rare Candy and two Candy Canes and swallowing them down her small throat before answering him, still holding onto the Modest Mint and Sludge Wave TM in her small hands. "Yup! I've been watching master and all my Poison type friends having lots of fun training and getting big and strong! I wanna play too!"
In response to all of this, Venom couldn't help smiling at the Poison/Electric type, really wanting to let her start training, but not sure if she'd be able to handle it just yet. However, it seemed the universe had other plans, as Toxel's entire body suddenly started to glow, surprising both trainer and Pokemon at the same time. "Woah! Master, what's going on?! I feel...good! Really good! Like I can do anything!" Toxel stated out loud, surging with tons of new energy, as her small body began to grow in size and change in shape. Venom couldn't believe his eyes, realizing what was happening, and quickly placing Toxel on the ground in front of him. "Toxel...this is great news! You're evolving!" Venom started to get excited himself, going into Poison type fanboy mode, watching with sparkles in his eyes as his Pokemon friend from Galar became an entirely new Poison type Pokemon.
Additionally, as she evolved, Toxel seemed to absorb the Modest Mint and TM99 Sludge Wave into her body, adding their power to her newfound strength. Pretty soon, the light of evolution slowly faded away, revealing the Punk Pokemon known as Toxtricity. It's Low Key Form to be exact. Growing even more excited, Venom quickly checked her new stats on his Pokedex, seeing that she had learned how to use Sludge Wave from the TM, all of her stats had gone up by a lot, and she gained a brand-new ability called Punk Rock. "Wow! Amazing! You're so much stronger now! It's so nice to meet you, Toxtricity! Of course, you can start training with the rest of the team now!"
Toxtricity took a moment to adjust to her new body, staying silent as she did, but then she looked back at her trainer, saw how excited her was, and giggled some more, playfully punching his left shoulder. "I'm excited too, but take it easy, master. Don't go turnin' into a spaz on me before I finally get to battle." To help calm her trainer back down, Toxtricity strummed the cords on her chest, causing the sounds of a bass guitar to fill the underground tunnel they stood in, and all surrounding tunnels as well. This was just what Venom needed to regain his composure, clearing his throat before speaking again, but continued to smile at his newly evolved companion. "Sorry. Old habits. In any case, let's go find you a suitable first opponent, Toxtricity." From there, the venomous duo continued to venture deeper into unknown territory, but it was clear as crystal that things were definitely starting to look up for Team Toxic.
OOC: Okay, just to clarify, I would like to evolve Venom's Toxel now. First off, I'll give her one of the Modest Mints in Venom's inventory to hold, or how ever it works here on ZZ. After that, I'll use the one Rare Candy and two Candy Canes in Venom's inventory to level her up to level 30, which is when Toxel evolves into Toxtricity. In this case, it should be the Low Key Form. And finally, I'll use one of Venom's TM99 Sludge Waves to teach the newly evolved Toxtricity Sludge Wave, having her forget Acid in place of the new move. Thanks so much.

With the Gengar defeated, the tunnel was now safe....er. It was still very easy to get lost in the maze of twists and turns that was underneath such a brilliant and vibrant city, but at least now they didn't have to worry about a malevolent spirit following, stalking, and trying to hurt them. After a few minutes of walking, the two Gastly from before and his friend Steve reappeared, thanking Venom profusely. Steve looked totally back to normal, if not bashful for his behavior earlier. They explained to the poison master that they were leaving these tunnels, heading somewhere a bit more free. With a smile, wink and a nod, the two spirits disappeared from sight. Venom could tell that they were gone because the air around him instantly warmed up and the lights above him stopped flickering. Wow, what an adventure he was having. Continuing on, he turned another corner and a growling sound echoed through the tunnels. Something ahead of him didn't want Venom to get any closer, and just to prove the point, a few sparks of electricity were released as a warning. If Venom was to continue forward, he would see exactly what was trying to defend its territory. ![](https://www.serebii.net/sunmoon/pokemon/309.png) Level 19 Wild Electrike is defending its territory.

Even though the evil Gengar was gone, Venom still didn't feel comfortable in the big city, or its seedy underbelly at all. Fortunately for him, as well as the rest of Team Toxic, they now had Toxtricity and her soothing bass melodies to keep them calm and happy. And that's exactly what the Punk Pokemon was doing, smiling and strumming her chest cords as she walked side by side with her trainer through the underground tunnels. Being a fan of both Poison type Pokemon and rock music, Venom enjoyed every single note that came from his newly evolved companion, smiling and shaking his head to the tunes that came from her. Both he and Toxtricity only stopped their actions once Steve and his fellow Gastly appeared before them. Happy to see them in such good spirits, Venom listened to what the two Gas Pokemon had to say, then waved goodbye to them as he watched them vanish from sight.
"Farewell, Steve. I wish you and your friend all the happiness that a pair of Poison type Pokemon deserve in this world. Hopefully one day our paths will cross again someday." The Kantonian trainer said out loud in a friendly tone of voice, hoping that Steve and his friend are able to live happy lives from now on. That whole exchange brought Toxtricity even more joy herself, as she strummed out another tune on her power cords. "And hopefully one day, I'll get my chance to help out some wayward Poison types like them myself." Ever since she hatched from her egg, the Poison/Electric type had dreamed of having her big moment in the spotlight, strumming a louder and more excited tune at the very thought of it. Venom smiled at her once again, positive that she'd get that chance one day.
But for the time being, Team Toxic had to finish their Goldenrod City gym battle prep training, and it seemed as though the growling Pokemon around a nearby corner was their next challenger. Heading around the corner to see what it was, Venom wasn't too surprised to have stumbled upon another wild Electrike. And being an Electric type herself, Toxtricity wasn't the slightest bit intimidated by the sparks thrown off by the smaller Pokemon. "Well, not much of a challenge for you, Toxtricity, but a good first opponent, nonetheless. Let's see what you can do with your Sludge Wave attack." The ninja gave Toxtricity her orders, then took a few steps backwards to give her some space, as she stared down at her first ever foe in battle. "Master, it would be my genuine pleasure! Let's rock!" Toxtricity strummed her power cords faster and harder, playing a very loud punk rock song, while also building up large amounts of toxic sludge around herself, sending it all towards the wild Electrike in one big wave.
OOC: First of all, yes. I would like to have Toxtricity learn Spark, forgetting Flail in its place. Secondly, Venom's Koffing is still holding the Cleanse Tag. So, this wild Electrike should be level 24. And finally, Running Shoes used. Two Sludge Waves. Thanks.

There was almost nothing the electrike could do against the Toxtricity. While it sparked up defensively, growling and trying to look tough as Shinya rounded the corner, it was terribly weak in comparison to the newly evolved pokemon. It tried to lunge forward, but the other was faster, and the sludge wave crashed forth and down like a tidal wave, catching it in the murk and slamming it hard against the wall. In just a single strike, the pup was dazed and down and not about to get back up to cause trouble. Seems like someone's newly evolved companion was quite strong. Impressive, really. Just recently it was a helpless baby, and now it was spiking wild pokemon into walls effortlessly. As the sludge drained away, the electrike stirred and just laid there, unable to continue battling even if it wanted to do so. Though it was hard to tell why it was so defensive over this part of the tunnel.
Toxtricity gained +1200 for defeating electrike (LV 24) 1200/2791
