Disclaimers: I don't own Pokemon. If I did, I'd make some trash tier Pokemons more useful.

Give Dunsparce a small stat upgrade in speed and forever headbutt glare combo.

Give Swalot some type of gulping attack that traps enemy Pokemons for a bit.

Like how Sky Drop works.

Swalot om nom noms as Toxic's Poison ticks away the opponents Pokemon's life.

Pokedex No. 23: Ekans

Red came upon a sad sight as he was going through the remnants of a Shadow Pokemon factory.

Why was he here in the first place?

Red was traveling when Professor Oak had called and told him about there being something terrible being done in the Orre region.

What it was, Red didn't know.

After some investigation, Red learned the awful truth: this organization was locking away a Pokemon's heart to make them much more powerful.

Disgusted, Red immediately set out to find those who would do such a thing, before a local told him that the incident was long since over.

Some young boy named Michael was able to defeat the entire organization by himself.

Red wasn't satisfied however.

He immediately went to the factory that had supposedly made these "Shadow Pokemons" and upon reaching it, he found it in shambles.

Looking around, he was unable to tell which machine did what and was about to leave, before he spotted a glint.

Red moved over to a pile of rubble and began digging through it.

What he found was a lone Pokeball.

Opening up the Pokeball, he was met with a ferocious Ekans who immediately attacked.

Red's instincts and reflexes allowed him to dodge, before sending out his Dusclops to hold the Snake Pokemon down.

Looking at the feral Pokemon, Red didn't notice anything strange.

Red's eyes than glowed a light blue as he noticed a purplish red aura emanating from the Ekans.

Normally, this would mean the Pokemon was violent, angry or malicious, which it's shown so far, but in this case, Red could see that this aura was sporadic and not at all contained, as if it was trying to break free, but stay at the same time.

It was unnatural.

Red returned the Ekans to the Pokeball he found it in, before motioning towards his Dusclops to follow him.

Red was going to make sure there wasn't anything else left behind.

Pokedex No.24: Arbok

Red held his arms up to make sure no debris hits his face as a massive explosion continued going on.

This didn't feel right.

Red trains his Pokemons to their peak and then beyond that.

Now Red wasn't so egotistical to believe that he was the only one in the entire world to be able to do such a thing, but this case was different.

Despite not using his All-Star Team, he was in a tough battle here.

"You've trained your Pokemons excellently, while I can tell you aren't using your best, your Pokemons shown so far have showed tremendous powers despite seeming fairly new." The Elite Four member Drake commended as his Flygon landed in front of him, having finally managing to knock out his Darmanitan.

Red didn't say anything, simply sending out his Arbok.

"As silent as Lance says you are. That's fine, let us continue." The Captain grinned, before pointing at Red's Arbok. "Flygon Dragon Claw."

Red had not yet fully trained his current team to obey non-verbal commands, so there was no way to keep the Elite Four member off guard.

"Arbok, defense mode." Red ordered calmly.

To a normal observer, they might not notice the difference, but to a trained or focused eye, one would have noticed the markings on Arbok's bodys changing.

Drake's Flygon was met with indifference as Arboks intimidate even managed to cause it to hesitate.

"Hm?!" Drake observed. "Flygon, fall back and focus your energy."

Drake's Flygon immediately moved back to begin focusing, getting ready to pierce Arbok's apparent defense.

"Arbok speed mode." Red ordered, and on cue, Red's Arboks body pattern changed and had it almost immediately catch up to Flygon.

"What?! Flygon, meet it head on with your Dragon Claw!" Drake ordered.

"Wrap." Red countered.

The moment Flygon moved to try and hit the snake, Arbok had moved to wrap itself around the dragon type, limiting its movements.

"Rrgh. Flygon, Ignite yourself!" The older male yelled as the dragon type began heating itself up, no doubt willing to harm itself to get the snake Pokemon off.

Red raised an eyebrow.

Interesting tactic.

Using one's own fire move to harm others around you, albeit with the negative effects of harming yourself in the process.

But Flygon is a dragon type, capable of resisting against such a thing.

"Arbok, Attack mode, constrict." Red calmly commanded.

Without hesitation, the snake had already changed and squeezed around the dragon type, earning a loud cry from the Pokemon, before the pain was too much and Arbok relented.

"Hmph. That's a strange Arbok you got there. It seems you're able to consistently change and focus your strengths towards one area, such as speed, defense and power." Drake noted, before holding up a Pokeball.

Red had 4 Pokemons left, Drake had 3.

Things seemed to be going back and forth.

Red expected nothing less from someone Lance has the utmost respect for.

I know I didn't really focus on the personality of Ekans and Arbok here.

But to be fair, all Pokemons that show up, will show up again in the future.

I know some of you have read the Manga, yes that's where I got the Arbok idea from.

I know some others probably wanted Arbok to use Shadow moves.

Not ALL of Red's Pokemons are going to be able to just go "Yeah, I got this thing that no one else will."

Either way, here you go.

Yeesh, I have Pikachu next. Oh goodie…
