It was exactly as Venom had thought all along. Now that Toxel had evolved into Toxtricity, she'd make an extremely fine addition to Team Toxic. With both trainer and Pokemon smiling at the Punk Pokemon's first and rather effortless victory, Toxtricity proceeded to play a victory tune on the cords on her chest. "Oh yeah, boy! That's what's up! Team Toxic in the house, with Toxtricity representing!" Toxtricity had picked up those phrases from random strangers Venom walked by during his time in Goldenrod City, and she just thought they sounded cool, continuing to play her music with sparks coming from her body. Venom knew what those phrases meant but didn't really have an opinion of them one way or the other. More than anything else, he was just happy to see his newly evolved Pokemon so happy, not to mention strong, enjoying the sounds of her music too.
"Yes, you certainly are amazing, Toxtricity. Just evolved and already a skilled fighter and musician. Team Toxic is lucky to have you. I know I might be getting ahead of myself, but who knows? You might even have what it takes to best Whitney's Miltank in battle all on your own." The ninja praised Toxtricity for her abilities, starting to wonder if having her deal with the Goldenrod gym's strongest Pokemon was a better strategy than the one he had prepared originally. Either way, the Poison/Electric type was very happy to receive such kind words from her trainer, continuing to play her music for another minute before turning to face him with a light blush and a happy smile upon her face. "I'm starting to see why the others love getting praised by you so much, master. It feels even better than battling itself."
In response to Toxtricity's claims, Venom suddenly found himself chuckling a bit, finding himself rather flattered by his Pokemon's compliments this time. "You're quite the charmer yourself, Toxtricity. So, moving on, how about we see what this Electrike was so desperate to protect?" The purple-haired trainer posed a suggestion, turning to face the tunnel beyond the incapacitated Lightning Pokemon and growing rather curious about what could be waiting for them beyond it. Toxtricity turned to face that same expanse of tunnel herself, continuing to smile, as she shrugged her shoulders. "Works for me. As long as I get to battle, rock out, and get praised some more." With that, the poisonous pair walked past the unconscious wild Pokemon, heading right into the tunnel that it was trying so hard to protect and wondering why it tried so hard to protect it to begin with.

Walking past the unconscious Electrike, there was nothing remarkable looking besides a nicely situated nest made with scraps and junk materials to keep a wild Pokemon or two warm enough. There's a pile of old clothes and fabrics that were likely to keep the Pokemon warm. On the side, was a pile of broken plastics and packaging for where the Pokemon likely broken into for a bite or more. The Electrike's nest didn't smell too bad either, maybe more like old and sweaty, but not like horrific to the levels of Koffing. However, once the human and his newly evolved Toxtricity turned around, a lone Voltorb was staring down at them. "Hey, no trespassing!" It hummed. Maybe it was the electric canine's roommate or neighbor or friend. Whatever the case it was, this Voltorb was keeping an eye on the duo to make sure they're not staying past longer than needed. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/bw/voltorb.png) A (level 24) Voltorb is observing Venom and Toxtricity. _Ff9B31xp_1-42p_1-6p_1-3p_1-2p_18-241-42·1-6·1-3·1-2·18-24

When he walked past the defeated Lightning Pokemon, Venom was honestly not sure what to expect. When it came to wild Pokemon, there were any number of explanations when it came to their behavior. But from the looks of things, this explanation was fairly simple and straightforward. It looked as though this part of the Goldenrod Tunnel was Electrike's home, and since the improvised nest was empty, it didn't seem like this Electrike had any mate or pups to speak of. Well, maybe not anymore. It might've at one point in its life or another. Regardless, Venom was glad that it didn't have any at that particular point in time.
If it turned out that the Electrike he and Toxtricity had just defeated was a parent, then the Poison type trainer would've felt just awful. Not only would he have ordered one of his Pokemon to attack a parent who was merely trying to defend its family, but he would've also left said family without a protector from other trainers or wild Pokemon that would seek to bring them harm. Thankfully, this wasn't the case. And as Venom breathed a sigh of relief on the matter, Toxtricity glanced at her trainer, wondering why he seemed so relieved, while continuing to play music on her chest cords. Unlike the ninja, the Punk Pokemon lacked his knowledge and foresight, blissfully unaware of the potential harm they could've done here. And if she was being honest, Toxtricity would've loved to have found some kind of treasure waiting for them beyond the wild Electric type.
Still, it seemed as though Team Toxic's actions weren't unrewarded, as they both heard the sound of a brand-new voice directly behind them. Toxtricity turned around to face the wild Voltorb, but Venom did not, already aware of what was there without having to turn around. "It's a Voltorb, isn't it? Just hit it with a Sludge Wave or two, Toxtricity." The Poison/Electric type glanced at her trainer again, not sure of how he managed to deduce that the voice they heard did indeed come from a Voltorb, but she was definitely amazed by it. "Woah! Amazing, master! I knew you were good, but I had no idea you could do stuff like that! You can count on me!" After giving Venom a smile and some applause, Toxtricity faced the Ball Pokemon, strummed her cords once again, and repeated her actions from her previous bout with Electrike.

The human and his Pokemon didn’t seem to heed Voltorb’s warning. It started at them firmly, rolling back and forth to block the passageway. Electrike was a welcome guest in the area, one that Voltorb knew fondly. Electricity sparks flew off the red-and-white sentient orb’s body as it rolled over to that its face was upside down, making the tight frown look like an awkward smile through narrowed eyes that looked quite angry. “I am a Voltorb. Glad of you to notice. Now you need to leave!” It hissed loudly, rolling back over so that it was properly face up. When the order was given and Toxtricity immediately agreed to attack, Voltorb’s eyes widened in disbelief. Were they that ignorant and uncaring of what belonged to others?! This was Voltorb’s territory! “You’ve left me no choice. I will fry you, then your trainer, though I take no delight in this.” The sentient sphere growled loudly. Voltorb’s red-and-white body started glowing with a strange yellow light that fully encompassed the round Pokemon. In an instance, it fired the electrically charged beam directly at the strange looking lizard, though its attack seemed to barely scratch the other Pokemon. “What are you?” Voltorb cried, unable to believe what it was seeing. How could this strange looking lizard take its attack like it was nothing?! There were few lizards that Voltorb was aware of since it spent its whole life in Goldenrod’s Tunnel. And it hadn’t pegged Toxtricity to be as strong as she was. Shen she unleashed thick pockets of sludge from under the ground, Voltorb cried in pain. It rolled about trying to escape the worst of Toxtricity’s attack, only to make matters worse. Eventually, in conceded. “You are stronger than me. I yield. The tunnel is yours!” It huffed, before rolling far off into the distance. ![](https://play.pokemonshowdown.com/sprites/gen5/toxtricity-lowkey.png) Toxtricity gained 1200 EXP. 24*50: 1200 Toxtricity increased to 2400/2791 EXP!Toxtricity grew closer to Venom. +1 Toxtricity increased to +5 Happiness!

It was exactly because of all the rolling around that the wild Voltorb was doing that tipped Venom off about the Electric type's identity to begin with. To the ninja's highly trained ears, the sound of a Voltorb rolling across the ground was unmistakable. No other wild Pokemon in the Goldenrod Tunnel made such a sound. And if by some chance a wild Voltorb had managed to evolve into Electrode, the sound would've been much louder. Not to mention, the Ball Pokemon's voice would've been deeper and more confident as well. Whatever the case, Venom knew that Toxtricity could handle this wild encounter just as easily as the first one, keeping his back turned as the battle began and ended in only a single round.
But during that single round, Toxtricity smirked confidently down at the small Electric type, shrugging off its Electric attack like it was nothing to her. "Oh. That tickled...a little." The Punk Pokemon giggled a bit, mocking the Voltorb's efforts, but was still kind enough to answer its question before finishing it off. "I'm Toxtricity! A proud member of Team Toxic, and a Poison/Electric type! Now, listen to these sweet tunes!" She strummed her chest cords yet again, as her music became even louder, as her Sludge Wave washed over Voltorb, giving her another win. Both she and Venom were very pleased by this result, but neither of them had any plans to stay in the tunnel that Voltorb and Electrike called home.
"Your respectful offer is appreciated, Voltorb, but Team Toxic has no plans to settled down anywhere or anytime in the near future. You may keep your tunnel, if you wish. Our apologies for disturbing you and your friend, but we appreciate the experience. Thank you, and farewell." With his back still facing in the same direction as the wild Voltorb, Venom spoke to it in a fair and compromising tone of voice, before he and Toxtricity left this expanse of tunnel, moving on to the next one in search of even more opponents to train against. And, of course, Toxtricity continued to play music on her chest cords the entire time, relishing her second victory and how much stronger she was because of it.

Goldenrod Tunnel stretched far underneath the heat of the city. Known for their rather questionable businesses and patrons, it was no doubt that Venom might have caught some of the shadier deals happening in the darker recesses of the tunnel. A tall, lanky fellow turned to a short girl pushing her glasses up on her face and grinned. "As agreed!" He scoffed, passing some change over to her before bolting further down the tunnel. She laughed, a strange sound that was more like a wild creature's growl than a human's laugh, and stuffed the funds into her pants pocket. When the short girl noticed Venom, her facial expressions widened with glee. Another sucker to fall into her scams. She waltz over, hands pressed cutely to her side, and winked with a loud whistle. "I've never seen someone as..." Lips pursed, considering her next line of words as eyes washed over the entire tunnel. "...handsome as you. Where you been hiding, huh, hot stuff?" No matter how Venom chose to respond, she would keep the same 'air' about her. The twenty-something young lady already assured herself that this young man would easily be duped into her trap. "Care for a stroll with me, handsome?" She giggled and gestured to the rest of the tunnel. Should Venom agree, she would lead him far off the beaten path where lights no longer illuminated any part of the tunnel. Should he disagree, she would only press further, her facade slowly fading. "Come on, please! Won't you show a weak, defenseless lady like me safe passage?" With a wink, of course. When she couldn't convince him OR they were totally alone, she would transform back into her true form - a Gastly - and try to steal his soul by force. A Wild Gastly wants your soul! Level 24.

In truth, Venom had spent most of his time in Goldenrod City in the dark, filthy tunnels that lay beneath it. Therefore, he had more than enough chances to witness the dark side of this supposedly peaceful and happy metropolis. Once more, Venom was disgusted by the seemingly unending greed, gluttony, and carelessness of the human race. Fortunately, this time around, he had Toxtricity and her melodies to sooth his soul and help him push those ugly thoughts out of his mind for the time being. That being said, the ninja was no fool, knowing very well that on rare occasions, Pokemon could be just as guilty as humans. Especially ones that grew up in such an environment as this one.
And speaking of guilty Pokemon, both Venom and Toxtricity came to a stop once they heard a voice call out to them, turning to face the source of said voice. With her still untrained eyes, Toxtricity saw only a pretty young woman, and began to smirk at Venom upon hearing the next words she spoke to him. "Well, well, well. What is this, master? I had no idea you were such a ladies' man. Ya gonna take her up on her offer?" The Punk Pokemon questioned her trainer in a sly and playful tone of voice, nudging him to make a move and seize the opportunity that had presented itself to him. However, this "young lady" may not have realized it, but she made a very big mistake in underestimating the purple-haired male before her.
After breathing out a small sigh, Venom grabbed a Great Ball from his bag, pressing the button on it as he gave the "girl" his response. "I realize that I've spared your kind from the rule of a corrupt Gengar, but that's not an invitation for you to go right back to hunting souls for yourselves. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. You Gastlys would be far better off trying this trick on someone who's more likely to fall for it. It's hard for most humans to tell, given all the trash around here, but you reek of poisonous gas. I'd know that scent anywhere." The Poison type trainer was completely sure of the words he was saying, not even the slightest bit fooled by this wild Gastly's attempt at deception.
Toxtricity was confused by her trainer's reaction, but now that this Gastly had been caught, Venom expected a fight, which is exactly what the Great Ball in his hand was for. "How about you knock off the disguise already?! Grimer, come on out and use Knock Off now!" From the red, white, and blue sphere, Team Toxic's Alolan Grimer appeared, looking up at the girl that had chosen to approach her trainer so carelessly. "I know you'd never ask me to attack a human, master! So, this must be another Gastly, right?! You can just leave it to me! I'm all over it!" Trusting in her trainer's judgement, Grimer gave him a smile and a nod, then turned to face the "young lady" and stretched her body until she was the taller one of the two of them. With that, the Sludge Pokemon raised her slimy hand, and moved to strike down the not so clever Poison/Ghost type Pokemon.

Ruse discovered, the pretty 'lady's disguise faltered. Her white teeth morphed into a monstrous and contorted rictus of a sneer. Her eyes seemed to bug out of her skull as her shape twitched and convulsed, the human mask rippling on the edges like she was turning into gas before his eyes. "Fool. I will have your soul. Even if I must cast a curse upon you and yours for the rest of your lifetime!" A nail appeared, glowing with light, and lodged itself harshly into the side of her false head. There was a splash of false gore as painfully realistic blood seeped down her cheek and neck. Then she tried to lunge for Venom, caught mid shapeshift, feet no longer touching the ground. He and Grimer would feel a terrible sense of dread, like they only had a few seconds to act before their lifeforce was drained away by this creature's spell. And that was when the grimer smacked her. The rest of the disguise seemed to ripple then...POP! There was a terrible wail as the woman's form completely collapsed into a ball of gas...and said ball of gas twisted and convulsed for just a second before fading away...

Although the feelings of dread and despair quickly filled Team Toxic, Venom refused to allow himself to flinch in the face of danger such as this. It was all part of his ninja training. No matter how terrifying or hopeless a situation may appear, Venom had been trained to maintain a calm outward appearance at all times. It was some rather simple psychologic warfare. If his foe didn't see him losing his composure, then it was possible that they'd end up losing their composure instead. That being said, Venom was still very grateful that Grimer took care of yet another soul-sucking Ghost type Pokemon as quickly as she did. If the Poison type trainer was to have his soul stolen one day, then he'd much rather prefer it to happen in a more respectful environment.
Fortunately for Team Toxic, they were all safe to travel and fight on another day, with Grimer growing even stronger yet again as a result of her victory. "Phew...That was a close one. I'm very glad to see that we're all okay, master." The Alolan Sludge Pokemon breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to face her trainer and fellow Poison type with a happy smile upon her face. "Yeah, that was pretty scary, but you two were really cool too. I mean, master seeing through that Gastly's disguise so quickly, and Grimer defeating it in just one hit. Team Toxic really is the best!" Toxtricity had a smile of her own, strumming out a loud tune upon her chest cords that lasted about ten seconds and echoed through the underground tunnels.
It wasn't long before the ninja was smiling as well, extremely grateful that neither he nor his beloved poisonous Pokemon were injured in their latest bout. But even by that point, there was still far more work to be done, and this work wouldn't finish itself. "That's the dream anyway, Toxtricity. Thanks for once again being Team Toxic's resident ghostbuster, Grimer. I'll definitely call on you again if we encounter anymore but go ahead and return for now." Venom called Grimer back to her Great Ball, put it away, then headed for the next expanse of tunnel ahead of him, with Toxtricity continuing to follow his lead and play some catchy melodies. What would the next foe be like? Who knows?

The strange lights that illuminated Goldenrod’s vast networks of underground tunnels flickered overhead. Most of the residence within the tunnels were quick to dodge in and out of makeshift stores or plop down on fluffy pillows meant to be seats in front of wooden tables were street vendors had their wares sitting out in plain sight. One youngster and his older brother, hands tightly clasping onto scissors, waved over some customers and immediately began cutting their hair into unique styles. The styles, while definitely a work of some kind of art, left a lot to be desired, resulting in one of the customers punching the older brother in the face before storming off ranting loudly to herself about the horrible service. Further up ahead a group of young teenagers were gathered in a large circle. They snickered and laughed as they held water pails in their hands. “Hurry up and drown it! It’s no use to us anyways, it’s lost every fight it’s ever been in!” One of the teenagers – a tall young lad gangly in appearance with a military-style haircut and eyes so dark brown they were almost black screamed. “Yeah, no sense in letting it keep being a loser. Just put it out of its misery already!” Another squawked, jumping on the tips of his toes as he pointed to something obscured by all their bodies. Whatever it was immediately flung rocks in the air, slamming them into each child with great force after two of the teenagers drenched it with water. The yelled at first and cursed the strange rock Pokemon out, but more stones were slung into the air and bruised the teenagers on their arms, legs, and even their face. They immediately switched their tune and scattered down different directions of the tunnel, screaming about the deranged Pokemon and warning everyone they passed by to stay away. One of the younger teenagers, short with thick, curly hair and wide rimmed glasses paused only briefly by Venominon. “I’d run if I were you. That crazy monster is attack everything in sight!” It pointed to an Alolan variant of Geodude, who floated towards Venominon and his team whilst spinning small stones in the air. It cried angrily, nostrils flaring from the pain that it had recently endured. “All of you evil humans shall know what it’s like to feel pain! You don’t care about Pokemon. None of you do! None of you deserve us as your friends!” The Alolan Geodude screamed at the top of its lungs. A Wild Alolan Geodude is very angry! Level 24. It's looking to take its frustrations out on Venominon!

With Toxtricity continuing to play her funky music, she and Venom continued to venture through Goldenrod City's underground, searching for any and all ways to get stronger. And even after all the time Team Toxic had spent down here, they still occasionally saw things that caught even their ninja master by surprise. Like watching a dissatisfied customer assault the barber who cut her hair for example. Upon witnessing this event, Toxtricity's music stopped for a brief moment, as both she and Venom couldn't help but look on with widened eyes. However, they didn't stick around for very long at all, not wanting to fall prey to the woman's fury for whatever reason due to proximity. Thus, Venom and Toxtricity picked up the pace, moving away from the angry woman as quickly as possible.
"Yeesh. Master, are all humans like that? Or just the ones in this city?" The Punk Pokemon asked her trainer as they powerwalked through the tunnel, doing her best to pick up her song from where she left it off. "It's more about situation rather than location, Toxtricity. But yes, most humans are selfish, ignorant, and prone to fits of violence for no good reason." The Poison type trainer answered his Pokemon's question, just as another example of what he was saying appeared in the tunnel up ahead of them. Venom and Toxtricity wouldn't see all of what was going on, but the things they heard told them everything they needed to know on the matter. It was clear as day that these young delinquents were tormenting an innocent Pokemon, and needless to say, Venom didn't like that one bit.
With a small hiss escaping from his lips and his pupils becoming narrow slits, the ninja began to approach the younger humans to put a stop to their actions. However, he only made it about halfway before the tables were suddenly turned, surprising Venom yet again. Still, he also calmed down, happy and relieved to see that whatever this wild Pokemon was, it was fully capable of defending itself. Be that as it may, his glare immediately returned as soon as one of the hooligans approached him, not caring for the words he had to say one bit. "Is that so? From what I witnessed, it looked to me like you and your friends were unfairly antagonizing a Pokemon because it didn't meet your outrageous expectations. If anyone should be running away, it's you. And I'd pick up the pace, unless you wish to find out just how deadly a Sludge Wave can be to humans."
Venom was extremely serious, glaring his snake eyes at the younger male and fully prepared to give Toxtricity the order to unleash her most powerful move upon him at any moment. Fortunately for the delinquent, Team Toxic's attention was quickly turned over to the wild Pokemon in question, surprised once again to see that it was a Geodude straight from the Alola region. "Woah! Master, check out that Geodude! I can feel electricity coming off of it from here! But that can't be right! I thought Geodude was supposed to be a Ground type!" Toxtricity was quick to comment in her surprised state, able to sense the power of a fellow Electric type Pokemon even at their current distance apart. Unfortunately, based on what this Geodude was saying, it didn't sound like it was in any kind of mood to chat and make friends at the moment.
"Ordinarily, yes! But this Geodude is from the Alola region, Toxtricity! Just like our friend, Grimer! I'm surprised to see one here of all places though!" Venom gave his Pokemon a quick explanation, then prepared himself for the Alolan Rock Pokemon's approach. But rather than grab a Pokeball containing one of his own Pokemon, the ninja instead grabbed an empty Ultra Ball from his bag, getting to attempt to capture this wild Geodude. "I know you may not believe me in your current state, Geodude, but I do understand exactly how you feel! Humanity is evil, but I can assure you that not all humans are bad! Which is why I ask that you please get inside this Ultra Ball! If you do, then I promise I'll find you a far better trainer than those fools who mistreated you! One that'll treat you with plenty of love, compassion, and respect! Now, let's go!" After making his declaration, Venom stood his ground and threw the Ultra Ball right at the wild Geodude, watching as it got sucked inside upon impact.

The teenager didn't stick around to listen to what Venom had to say about it, after he had given his warning, a very polite and good hearted one if somebody had asked him, he had taken time to not just leave a fellow human unknown to the dangers of the wild pokemon. He might not plan on sticking around to defend the other trainer, but then Venom at least had a chance to run off as well, that he did not choose to do so, was not the teenager's problem. The geodude didn't care about Venom's words either, why should it believe him? He was either going to battle it, or catch it and force it to do what he wanted. That was the life of a pokemon from its experience, a frantic life fighting to keep your freedom, or a life in miserably slavery. If humans could coldhearted drown it when they got tired of it, then it would rather die than being captured. "LIES! ALL LIES!" It screamed at Venom and flung the floating rocks at him and Toxtricity, it was so angry that it missed by a mile. He did not step back or look threatened by it at all, which only made the geodude feel more trapped, it was in a corner and there was no way out. That only meant one option was left. It began glowing as Venom threw the ball which hit the geodude and covered it in red light. Before it got sucked in a white light flashed from the rock and electrick type, and a deafening boom followed, shaking the tunnel as several deep cracks appeared in the walls. Toxtricity was thrown backwards and straight at Venom while rocks fell from above. Darkness fell over the tunnel as dust filled the air and the light had gone out. Fearful voices of both humans and pokemon were heard, a few whimpers from someone who had been hurt, but most just tried to figure out what had happened and if everyone around them were okay. The geodude was no where to be seen, it might have fallen into the crevice in the floor where it had been when it self destructed.

Fortunately for Venom, not all Pokemon felt the same way as the wild Geodude did. Just before the explosion struck, Toxtricity sprang into action, moving out in front of Venom and letting loose with a very loud Metal Sound, shouting and strumming her chest cords like her life depended on it. And some could argue that it did. Thankfully, the Punk Pokemon's counter was just enough to spare both her and her precious master from serious injury. The soundwaves from her Metal Sound collided with the shockwaves from Geodude's Self Destruct, weakening them just enough to save the poisonous pair. However, the explosion was still powerful enough to injure Toxtricity some and send her flying right into Venom who was standing directly behind her.
Venom was ready for the impact though, once again putting his quick wittedness and ninja prowess to work, bracing himself and catching Toxtricity in his arms the moment she flew at him. The Poison type trainer then dug in his heels, using every single ounce of his strength to slow them down before they crashed into anyone or anything that might've been behind them. With that, they were just barely able to avoid slamming into a chunk of debris that had fallen from the ceiling several yards behind them. That said, both Venom and Toxtricity were more than a little drained after all was said and done, both panting heavily and taking a few minutes to regain their lost stamina. All the lights in the expanse of tunnel they stood in had been completely destroyed, but Venom could still see enough, glancing over Toxtricity's shoulder and narrowing his eyes into the darkness.
The Alolan Geodude was gone and saying that the tunnel had been completely destroyed would've been an understatement for sure. "So...did we win, master?" Toxtricity asked, unable to think of anything else to say after all that had happened, still reeling from the Rock Pokemon's all-out assault. "...Yeah, we won. Thanks for the save, Toxtricity. Get some rest for now. The others can take over from here, my friend." Venom gave her the best answer he could, then recalled her back to her Pokeball so that she could recover. After that, the ninja stood alone amongst the debris, a single sigh escaping his lips as he began to trek through it, aiming to reach the other side and continue training his Pokemon. "I suppose sometimes when you offer a helping hand, it gets bitten. Farewell, Geodude. When you finally regain consciousness, I hope you're able to find some semblance of peace."

Screams echoed deeper from the tunnel as rocks and debris was flung in every direction. The roof collapsed, causing large chunks to fall and build a nearly impenetrable wall in several directions. The nearby shops were absolutely destroyed by all the damage, with their once brightly lit windows shattered into several thousand pieces, and their wares scattered off the tables to litter the ground in erratic, often severely damaged patterns. While there were many people who had been knocked to the ground from the ensuing shock wave and flying debris, those who were fit and able immediately took to helping their injured companions. “We need a medic! Stat!” One boy whose face was flush with freckles dotting from just below his eyes, down his neck, and out the long sleeves of his button-up shirt onto the backs of his hand shouted. He waved his hands wildly in the air and charged from one spot to the next, leaning down to check the fallen, injured people of the tunnel. “We’ve got twelve…make that thirteen…no fourteen injured! One in critical condition! Whose calling the police to arrest this gangster picking a fight with wild Pokemon capable of collapsing whole tunnels?!” He continued in a high pitched shrill. When none answered, all their eyes immediately shifting uneasily by the young man’s words, he huffed and slammed his hands on his hips. Spinning on the tips of his heels as though he knew that he had to take the law into his own hands, he marched up straight to Venom and pulled a small red-and-white orb out of his pocket in a hurry. “Ok Team Rocket! I’m tired of your gang coming in here and ruining everything within…pfft….seconds! Leave us alone, you understand?! I will not stand for this! Raikou come on out!” He shouted, unleashing a _ with the click of a button. Venominon would be given no other option, though, as the young man did his best to block Venom from the only other useable path out of there. Good Samaritan Gunnar is going to arrest Venom himself! He sends out his Level 30 Raikou the Manetric. Who will Venom use? Mod Information: Manectric is the only Pokemon Gunnar owns.

Venom cared not for all the destruction caused by Geodude's attack, nor did he care for all the screams that came from the humans who had been injured by it. In fact, the purple-haired trainer walked right past them, completely ignoring their plight, while some who weren't injured in the slightest took advantage of the confusion to loot various items from the collapsed businesses. However, Venom paid them no mind either and it wasn't just because of his distaste for human beings. After everything that transpired with the Alolan Geodude, Venom couldn't help but feel as though he failed. True, the humans who caused the Rock Pokemon's suffering were now suffering themselves, buried under piles of rubble, but the moment both they and Geodude recovered from their injuries, who's to say that the same thing wouldn't just end up happening again?
The Poison type trainer was unable to shake those thoughts and concerns, keeping his head down, letting out a sigh, sticking his hands into his pockets, and continuing onward down the tunnel. Still, even in his current state, his ninja prowess hadn't failed him, as he dodged or jumped over every single injured person or piece of debris he past. Unfortunately, as the path ahead grew narrower, Venom suddenly found himself coming to a stop, raising his head to stare at the trainer who had chosen to stand before him. At first, the ninja didn't think much of this new face, far too focused on his concern for the lost Alolan Geodude to put forth his full level of effort at that moment. But then, the moment this bold trainer accused him of being part of Team Rocket, all of that changed. And not for the better.
"...Team Rocket?...You really believe that I'm part of Team Rocket?..." Venom questioned Gunnar in a tone of disbelief, having never heard anything so disrespectful in his entire life. Then, after taking about a minute to process the reality of the situation, a very dark aura began to swirl around the Kantonian trainer's body, while his pupils changed into narrow slits, matching those of a snake about strike down its prey. With those new eyes, he glared daggers at Gunnar, clearly not even the least bit amused by his accusations. "You have no idea just how wrong you are, do you? You've committed several grave mistakes here, human. Allow me to list them off for you, since you appear to be too foolish to do so yourself. First of all, my name is Venominon Ouroboros, son of Koga of the Elite Four. I am most definitely NOT part of the despicable organization known as Team Rocket, and how dare you even accuse me of such a thing."
The snake-eyed trainer's tone may have been composed, but it was also filled to the brim with rage, sounding like that rage might boil over at any second, as he continued to speak. "Second, if anyone should be blamed for this destruction, it should be the insensitive idiots who were bullying that Alolan Geodude. If they hadn't antagonized it, it would've never self-destructed in the first place. Clearly, they are unfit to train Pokemon, let alone criticize one that was only doing its best to fulfill the orders that THEY gave it. Frankly, as far as I'm concerned, they deserve all the injuries they got from this collapsed tunnel and much, much more for what they've done." There wasn't even a small scrap of sympathy to be had in Venom's voice, his rage continuing to rise steadily, and he still wasn't through just yet.
"Thirdly, this entire city was ruined long before I got here. Since arriving in this Arceus forsaken city, I've seen it all. Garbage piled up everything, Pokemon stolen right out of their trainer's hands, other Pokemon insulted and abandoned by their trainers for failing to meet their ridiculous expectations, and foolish humans like you pointing their fingers at everyone but themselves for all of their own mistakes. The fact that someone like Whitney still lives here is one of life's greatest mysteries without a doubt. And finally, quite possibly your biggest mistake of all, was challenging me to a battle right now. Believe me, I am in no mood to deal with humans like you. And if you won't step aside, then I'll gladly show you a poison that burns far worse than any that could come out of your mouth." Venom's anger had finally boiled over, as he withdrew his hands from his pockets, grabbed a Great Ball from his bag, and tossed a Pokemon of his own out onto the field of battle.
"SSSSSSSSSSSSSeviper, let'ssssssssssss teach thessssssssse foolsssssssssss a lesssssssssson!" The Poison type trainer had become so mad that he began to talk with a lisp, just like the serpentine Pokemon he loved so much. Seviper appeared from the Great Ball, took one look at her trainer, flinched, then turned to face Gunnar and Raikou, giving them a warning. "Uh oh. Looks like you made the master angry. You two twits best get down on your knees and beg for his forgiveness before it's too late." Although, if Seviper was being honest, she didn't really care what they did, smirking at the thought of either scenario as she twirled her Amulet Coin around her tail. "Ussssssssssse SSSSSSSSSSludge Wave, SSSSSSSSSSSSeviper! Now! And don't hold anything back! Drown thesssssssssssse foolish humanssssssssssss in poisssssssssssson!" At his command, the Fang Snake Pokemon began to spin her serpentine body around rapidly, building up huge amounts of highly toxic sludge, before sending it all towards Gunnar and Raikou. "Hope you can swim, darlings!"
