Nidoran

I exited the forest after a....minor scuffle with a few critters attacking me in the forest, those beedrills are especially unreasonable!

"Excuse me trainer! Can I ask you some questions?"

Huh? Ah fuck it's the police! "Ahh...How may I help you officer?"

Officer Jenny looks up at the young boy with the red cap, with growlithe by her side she glares at the boy to show him her authority, "Earlier today there was a major forest fire in the area and you are a suspect!"

FUCK! How'd they find out! Ahh what am I going to do! I just started my journey! I didn't mean to burn down part of the forest!

"Officer, I just started my journey! I surely have nothing to do with the fire!"

She glares at me for a long while; "I'm going to have to take you in for questioning!"

Ah?! This lass is too unreasonable!

Wait what's this?! I look over her shoulder to see a drunk old man passed out on the floor.

"Officer look behind you! There's a disturbance of peace!"

"—Huh?!"

Officer Jenny turns around sharply to see an old man harassing a young girl while crawling on the floor.

"Hehe, miss surely I can teach you to catch some Pokémon!"

"Eek! Please leave me alone!"

Jenny quickly sprints over to the scene, "Stop right there!"

After a while of questioning it was later reported that this man was a repeat offender! Harassing new trainers while intoxicated! He was swiftly arrested and Officer Jenny patted herself on the back in her proud act of righteousness!

"Now what was I doing earlier..?"

"Ah?! That boy!"

She swiftly turned around only to see no one was there!

"Where did he go!?"

———-

Meanwhile west of Viridian City, Route 22

———-

That was too close! I almost got caught! If that old man wasn't there I would have been screwed!

After Jenny turned around I quickly booked it towards Route 22, I wanted to see the entrance to the Indigo Plateu, so I swiftly ran there.

I walked into the forest for a reason! To catch my next Pokémon!

I wanted to find a Nidoran! I don't care which gender, either is fine!

I took Charmander back out after the forest fire fiasco, and we began to survey the area.

After a couple of hours we had no such luck, we decided to call it a day and I set up camp. I took out the tent and set it up outside. I swiftly stewed some food before releasing Totodile as well.

We all ate together before tucking in for the night.....

....Or we would have if we didn't here screeching out in the forest!

I quickly return Charmander and Totodile as Charmander's flame would give away our position while Totodile is too noisy!

Me and Pikachu quickly hide in the bushes as we traveled towards the screeching.

What we encountered left us dumbfounded!

There was a little Nidoran Female bullying a whole hoard of male Nidorans! Each of them falling one after the other!

The little blue Nidoran charged at the hoard one after the other after putting them in a state of confusion through supersonic!

....This?!

I took out my Pokédex to scan the situation,

|\| This hoard is undergoing a mating ritual, the males are trying to prove their dominance by making the female Nidoran submit|/|

What?!

This little girl doesn't deem these fellows worthy!

'Observe'

[Nidoran (Female)

Age - 3

Tier - Intermediate

Type - Poison

Ability - Rivalry

Rivalry - the attack's power is raised by 25% if the target and the user have the same gender, and is reduced by 25% if the target and the user have opposite genders. If the user or target is genderless, the move's power is unaffected. Unless the Pokémon is genderless, Rivalry powers up confusion damage.

Move Set - Scratch, Growl, Tail Whip, Poison Sting, Double Kick, Bite, Toxic, Supersonic]

This lass is too formidable! It has it damage reduced yet it still is beating them!

I notice how intelligent it is by using up a lot of strategy, first it uses it egg move, Supersonic, which gives boosted damage to to her ability when dealt confusion damage, she then uses the opportunity to follow up with a toxic damaging them increasingly more overtime including the initial boosted confusion damage!

It then follows up with moves like double kick and bite in a guerrilla tactic by hit and running each one after her, further disorienting them! It's only a matter of time for her to win!

This Nidoran is very formidable and also intelligent! I got to catch it!
