Chapter Nineteen: Pidgey Postal Panic!
"OK, let's have it out here!" Sapph announced gesturing to the back lot of the Pokémon Centre, which like the one back in Nightspark City had a battle field marked out. "Two on two sound alright to you?"
"Sure!" Tony agreed. "I'll have this reaction balanced out in no time!"
"Uh, Tony? You're scaring me," Sapph said with a bit of a laugh.
The two boys marched briskly to the opposite ends of the battle field and turned to face each other just as an early evening fluttered through the surroundings.
"Ladies first," Sapph said with a smirk.
"Ha, ha," Tony replied bleakly yet smiling none the less. "Alright Oni, Verdant… let's go!
Two beans of light burst from the capture devices Tony threw down, both materializing into large Pokémon; albeit of entirely different proportions: one stood at roughly six feet on four sturdy legs. With a wide face and dull violet irises, the Venusaur let out a protracted yawn and stomped its three clawed feet, its thick-stemmed pink flower opening up wide to receive as much sunlight as it possibly could at seven in the evening.
The other Pokémon Tony summoned wasn't just big; it was gigantic. A filthy great snake made entirely of brownish stone, a long sharp looking horn protracted from in between its beady black eyes. Oni rose to its full terrifying twenty-eight-foot-ten-inch height and glared down at the opposition it was to face, squinting slightly due to its ridiculous height.
"Onix and Venusaur, hunh?" Sapph mused as he pulled off two pokéballs from his belt. I hope Lavender will be more than enough to handle the Venusaur, he thought to himself. Hopefully Zen can defeat Oni quickly and provide backup…
"C'mon out, Zen! And you, Lavender!" Sapph cried, mimicking Tony's action and releasing his Combatant and new Evolution Pokémon into the fray.
About time, Zen said softly, his golden eyes locked menacingly on the Onix, who seemed to cower before its much shorter opponent.
There's no need to send out Lavender, Sapph, Zen said aloud. I'll be more than enough to handle these wimps.
I beg your pardon, Zen, Lavender retorted huffily. Just because I'm cute and cuddly, it doesn't mean I can hold my own!
OK, whatever. When you're down chatting with the dustbin, feel free to join in, Zen said sarcastically, causing Lavender, who had indeed been speaking freely with a dustbin that stood near the edge of the battle field, to blush violently through her fur.
Though I doubt, Zen went on in an undertone, charging up a bluish white sphere of power in his hand as he spoke, there'll be anything left by then.
Without an order from Sapph, who'd been watching the whole conversation with his jaw open, Zen hurled the Aura Sphere right at Oni, whose eyes widened in horror.
"Zen, don't act alone! Wait for the order!" Sapph yelled.
Oops, Zen smirked, looking over his shoulder at Sapph. Butter fingers.
"Verdant! Block that Aura Sphere!" Tony rallied.
The Venusaur took off running at a speed that belittled his size and threw himself between the frightened Rock Snake Pokémon and the Aura Sphere, letting the orb of energy slam into his head. Skidding back a little, Verdant shook his head and shrugged off the attack, as if it were nothing more than a love tap.
Th-th-thanks, Verdie, Oni whimpered still shaken by the abruptness of Zen's attack.
No problem, Verdant grunted. That hurt a lot more than I let on… this Taebrawl is strong… he added mentally.
Need some help now, Zen-Zen? Lavender chirped as she cantered towards Oni and Verdant.
"No, Lavender! Come back, you're going the wrong way!" Sapph yelled, beyond panicked at this juncture.
"Oni, use Rock Throw on the Eevee! Verdant, Razor Leaf on the Taebrawl!" Tony bellowed.
Oni and Verdant complied by hurling a round of sharp stones and leaves at their requested targets. Zen, thinking on the fly, quickly used a weak telekinetic jolt to throw Lavender sideways just as the small boulders landed with violent impact upon the ground. This maneuver left him open to the speeding Grass attack that Zen blocked deftly with his metallic arm, minimizing the damage he took some, but not by much.
What the hell are you doing, Lavender?! Zen roared as he flinched from the Seed Pokémon's assault. If the overgrown worm didn't squash you, I swear I'll kill you!
"Zen, look out!" Sapph yelled all but too late. Tony taking advantage of Zen's distraction, had ordered his Venusaur to grab hold of Zen with Vine Whip, which slowly constricted on the Psychic/Fighting type's body as Oni began to tunnel underground…
All of a sudden, the debris of fallen rocks came pelting through the dust cloud, striking Verdant all over and cutting the vines which held Zen fast. Stepping backwards, Zen leapt backwards in a graceful back flip in the nick of time: Oni reappearing just where he'd stood a second before.
"Nice save, Lavender!" Sapph cheered as a pinkish light shone through the dissipating dust cloud and Lavender tottered out of it looking slightly punch-drunk.
"Whoa, energy rush, she giggled feebly as she traipsed drunkenly towards what she assumed was Zen.
"Zen, now! Use Aura Sphere on Oni!" Sapph cried out, pumping his fist.
Whilst still in midair, Zen readied a sphere of energy which he hurled at the back of Oni's head, scoring big time damage and causing the Rock Pokémon to bite the dust in defeat.
"Aw, man! Verdant, looks like it's down to you! Body Slam the Eevee, quickly!" Tony rallied as he returned his fallen Onix.
"What the… aw, crud! Lavender, run away!" Sapph yelled as the indigo dinosaur-like creature launched itself high into the air with the aim of crushing the lightweight Normal type flat.
Tch, what a nuisance, Zen thought as he touched the ground and ran in to intercept.
"Change of plans, buddy!" Tony called out to Sapph. "Verdant, use Solar Beam on the Taebrawl now!"
"Hunh? Doesn't that need to charge up first?" Sapph said surprised.
"During the summer? Get serious, Sapph!" Tony replied with a smirk.
Lavender suddenly launched herself straight up with the intention of taking the Solar Beam head on. Fortunately however, she wound up slamming herself into the underside of Verdant's jaw, knocking the Solar Beam attack awry. Zen then ducked beneath the laser of pure sunlight as he kept running, leaping upwards to swing his bandaged foot deep into the airborne Venusaur's side, causing Verdant to bellow in pain from the two consecutive attacks as the three Pokémon fell to earth. Zen scooped Lavender into the crook of his natural arm and kicked off away from the falling Venusaur's bulk, landing on one knee as the Seed Pokémon slammed into the ground on its side about six feet away heavily, promptly passing out from the onslaught it had received.
"Looks like it's over, Tony," Sapph observed cheerfully as Tony returned his Venusaur silently.
"Yeah," Tony said ruefully, walking over to shake Sapph's hand. "But that sure was fun!"
Sapph smiled as he returned the handshake. As the trainers exchanged this light banter, the tension between the victorious Pokémon was considerably greater.
What the hell were you thinking? Zen snapped at Lavender as he dumped her on the ground roughly.
Well! Excuse me if I want to keep my team mate from getting hurt! Lavender retorted, stung by Zen's ingratitude.
I wasn't talking about that, Miss Airy-Fairy! Zen yelled back. Although that was a stupid move in itself! I was referring to running head on into that Venusaur when Sapph said to fall back and leave it to me! What are you, deaf and blind?
At the mention of the word 'blind', Lavender flushed angrily and yelled back, Sapph didn't say to leave them for you, you arrogant jerkwad! You condemning me for not following orders to the letter is like a Muk calling the Grimer a stinking mess!
What did you say?! Zen bellowed back even louder. Listen, newbie! I don't care how cuddly you think you are, do that again on my watch and I wont bail you out!
A streak of red light hit Zen at that instance, interrupting the feuding Pokémon. Zen swore loudly as he was pulled back into the confines of his pokéball by Sapph who looked down at it ruefully.
"Trouble in paradise?" Tony asked as Lavender continued to berate the ground where Zen was standing a moment before.
"The usual I suppose," Sapph said, sounding slightly put out. "Zen never really has been a team player. Add that to the fact that he's a rebel by nature…"
"…and you have a recipe for disaster," Tony finished knowledgably.
Sapph only sighed again before he looked up and asked his friend, "Oh yeah, what was it about Haley that you didn't want to discuss in front of her?"
"Oh," Tony said nervously, looking around as he went on, "Well, this information I'm going to tell you is strictly confidential, meaning no one else has to know, nor should find out…"
"I know what 'confidential' means, Tony," Sapph said coyly.
"This is serious, Sapph!" Tony said sternly, surprising Sapph. Tony wasn't usually this uptight.
"So what's up then?" Sapph went on in a whisper.
Tony exhaled slightly as he began, "Well, the thing is…"
A shadowy figure that stood just inside the doorway's eyes contracted as Tony's soft whisper carried on into the center.
***
"WHAT THE HELL D'YOU MEAN, HE AIN'T SAPPHIRE MANSON?!" a loud voice shrieked from within a metallic room that lay within the intricate maze of a giant airship that made its slow and steady way southwards.
"What I mean is that the boy you incompetents captured is not Sapphire Manson, Zula!" Julius Atlas bellowed, throwing the ornate paperweight that stood on his desk across the room, causing the glass ornament to shatter.
"Calm down, Captain Atlas," a tall woman in a red flamenco dress with a bored look in her eyes. "Are you quite sure…"
"…that the arrogant, unyielding, obstinately insubordinate ruffian you apprehended in Green Hill City isn't the cocky, loud-mouthed and unscrupulous yob I who ran across me in the Relic Caverns isn't Sapph Manson? Yes, I'm sure!" Atlas raged on.
"So who is he, then?" Zula snorted impassively. "'is twin brother?"
"If you'd read the report, you'd know that's exactly who he is," Atlas growled. "Sapphire's strongest Pokémon is a Mongle! That boy doesn't have one at all!"
"Hey! We caught Manson, didn' we? Although he's not Sapph Manson," Zula added grudgingly. "Lord Theologos needn't know we screwed up!"
"Now, now," a sunny voice chirped from the shadowy corner behind Atlas causing the three captains to jump in shock and stare at the corner where Captain Orion had seemingly materialized out of the darkness that half-filled the lavishly designed room, his reddish brown eyes pleasant yet possessing a deadened look about them.
"O-Orion!" Atlas said, sweating slightly as he addressed the happy go lucky youth with a mixture of bravado and surprise. "What brings you to the Javelin?"
"Oh, there's no need to look so alarmed!" Orion said with a laugh that far from lightening the atmosphere, caused the other captains to shudder involuntarily. "Can't I just drop in to say hello?"
"Dropping in is one thing," Zula muttered to Vulca out of the corner of her mouth. "Teleporting in so as to scare the crap outta us is another…"
"Anyways, I must be going back now," Orion said stepping into the shadows, leaving his gleaming eyes the only part of his visible through the gloom. "Do try to apprehend the real Sapph before he gets to Chinooka City, will you?" his voice rang pleasantly through the room as his eyes, which were fixed on Zula's terrified face vanished from sight. "I'd hate to have to tell Lord Theologos about this. You know how much he banks on my honesty…"
All that was left in the room after the disembodied voice died away was a state of deep unrest, in which Atlas collapsed into his chair, mopping his sweat-drenched brow with his handkerchief.
"We have to land the Javelin immediately," he mumbled. "Zula, send word to the engine rooms to land us in the Bamboo Hills. Vulca, assemble all grunts in Assembly Hall Alpha. I'll address them there."
Both women nodded fervently and left without another word, the door clanging shut behind them.

"Well, Sapph… ready to go?" Haley asked spritely as the boy trainer sleepily made his way to the reception area. All her Pokémon sat at her feet talking loudly and eating happily and it couldn't be plainer that the fact that Bubbles, Pixy and Blitzkrieg being fully recovered was the source of her newfound charisma.
Mumbling incoherently as he yawned out his reply, Sapph rumpled his hair under his yellow and black cap and sat down to his source of morning charisma: breakfast.
As Sapph washed down the last of his waffles with fresh Oran Berry juice, Tony walked in with four pokéballs in a tray. Clipping two to his belt, he smiled broadly and said, "Morning, guys. Sleep OK?"
Haley nodded happily as Sapph gave a friendly nod and gratefully received his pokéballs from the blue-haired trainer. Noticing that Tony had slipped him a little extra, his eyebrows contracted slightly yet his smile did not falter as he rose to bid farewell.
Opening the door for Haley, he gave one last look at Tony and nodded slightly with Tony when the female trainer wasn't looking.
"Hey, isn't your friend coming along?" Haley asked as the duo walked towards the Green Hill City limits.
"Nah, he's going back to Johto," Sapph said in a distracted tone as he traipsed up the street alongside his companion. "Although he did mention heading for the Fourtix region or something for a break before heading home. So… how about grabbing some Honey for the road?" he said in a perky voice as he ran up the street towards the convenience store.
"Hey, hold up, Sapph! How come you didn't get any yesterday?" Haley hollered as she pursued Sapph up the road.
"Uhhh… sold out," Sapph called over his shoulder with a laugh as Haley grudgingly sped up to catch up with her rash (and recently slightly evasive) travel partner.
***
Well, I am in a bit of a mess, Rubin thought to himself as he hung from a hook on the wall in his prison cell aboard the Javelin.
Giving his shackles a furtive shake he stared desolately around the bleakly decorated cell and thought, what the hell could those women want Sapphire for? And how the hell could they mix that idiot for me! We're not even that similar! Where is this rig headed? And now that I stop to think about it, he added, looking sideways out of the barred windows at the slowly setting sun sank below the horizon, why are they stopping?
Two grunts passed by the prison at that point, one of them holding a salami submarine sandwich with all the trimmings and the other a large Cola. Peering into the cage, the one with the sandwich waved it ostentatiously at Rubin and cackled, "Don't look so hot now do you, Manson? Bet you'll think twice before meddling with us again, wont ya?"
Rubin merely cast the speaker a dirty look as his stomach gave off a huge rumble.
"Hungry?" asked the other guard in a falsely sweet voice.
"Well, hanging around here without food for about two days straight does build up an appetite," Rubin replied darkly.
"Tough luck, hero," the guard went on, dropping the unctuous tone of voice and leering at their prisoner.
Just then, Vulca's voice came over on the intercom with an announcement: "All Class Three grunts are to report to Assembly Hall Alpha immediately. I repeat: all Class Three grunts report to Assembly Hall Alpha immediately."
"Aw, maaan," the first guard moaned, looking up at the PA speaker that had issued the command. "Cap'n Vulca knows we can't eat in there…"
"Quit griping," the second guard snapped. "Let's just leave our lunch here and get it over with. After all, it's not like he can get to it," he added, jerking his thumb at the door as he placed the cola on the table on the other side of the corridor facing the cell.
Still grumbling, the first guard dropped his uneaten sandwich on the table next to the drink and marched up the corridor with his buddy, around the corner and out of sight.
After their footsteps died away, Rubin let go of the hook and dropped to the floor lightly. Reaching into the sole of his shoe he pulled out a pokéball and enlarging it, opened it and muttered, "OK, Ralis, think you can use Confusion to levitate the food over here?"
The Emotion Pokémon nodded its green capped head and, waving its slender white hands, caused the food to hover off the table and towards the bars of the cage where Rubin's open arms received them.
Petting Ralis on the head fondly, he pulled out five more Pokéballs from the turn-ups of his jeans released five more Pokémon who crowded around their trainer who was busy dividing the foot long sub into six. Handing a piece to each Pokémon, he said softly, "You guys eat. You need the strength."
When they began to protest, he raised his hand and they fell silent at once.
"I'm OK," he reassured them. "I'll just drink the coke. We just need to bide our time until we can get out of here and shut this place down."
Because no one captures Rubin Manson without suffering the consequences, he added as an after thought as he slurped down the cool soft drink.
***
Tony's back slammed into the brick wall as he slid down it, his glasses gone and a puffy bruise blossoming on his face.
"What the heck's wrong with you?" Tony yelled, pulling himself to his feet and trying to peer through the gloom that filled the alleyway.
"You spoke to Sapph Manson about Damian Kent," the voice said coldly as a pair of slanting silver eyes drew closer.
"Why? Are you Team Shadow?" Tony demanded, pulling off a pokéball and throwing it down, revealing an ethereal Pokémon which levitated a few feet above the ground, its two hands seemingly dismembered from the rest of its oddly shaped body, from which a large, sagging tongue hung.
Genghis, get ready to use Hypnosis, Tony ordered his Pokémon silently.
"Hardly," the voice said coldly taking another step forward. "I'd return the Haunter if I were you. I've already hurt one Pokémon trainer badly already. I don't want to increase the injury toll."
Tony gulped and gritted his teeth. Hold on, Genghis, he thought.
Aloud he said, "If you're not with Team Shadow, why do you want to know about Damian Kent?"
"It's personal," the voice said again, the platinum grey eyes boring into Tony's brown ones.
"If you knew I told Sapph about him," Tony said, steadying his voice as he went on, sidestepping the source of the disembodied voice as he attempted to master himself "why are you asking me for more info? Seems to me that you eavesdropped on the whole conversation."
"I just thought there'd be more to it than you let slip to Sapph Manson," the voice breathed. "But if that's not the case," it went on as the volume of its footsteps began to recede. "I guess I just have to do a little digging of my own…"
"Hold it!" Tony commanded running forward with Genghis the Haunter right behind him out from the alleyway into the brighter street, yet seeing no one.
What now, Effeh? the Haunter asked his trainer in a whimsical Caribbean accent.
"This isn't good," Tony said to himself, biting his thumb anxiously. "If that was a Sahdow Executive, I 've put Sapph in danger. Genghis, return for now… Epona!" he shouted releasing his Ponyta on the street. The Fire Horse Pokémon whinnied as Tony mounted her quickly and said , "Epona, we've got to get to Chinooka City… fast!"
The Ponyta complied by wheeling around to face the south and galloping off towards the Green Hill south city limits, neither horse nor rider aware that they were being watched...
***
After a day's hard travelling due south to Chinooka City, where Sapph hoped to win his fourth gym badge, the duo decided to pitch camp in the Bamboo Forest. As Haley pitched her tent, Sapph went to retrieve some wood with which to keep the Pandosis and Gaureign away as well as to cook dinner for their hungry Pokémon.
An hour or so later, all twelve Pokémon and their trainers sat around the fire chowing down on some dinner and enjoying friendly and (in some cases) huffy dialogue.
"So what did Tony want to talk to you about?" Haley asked as Sapph took another bite of spicy sausage wrap.
"Well, you know… stuff," he mumbled, his mouth packed to bursting.
"How can you manage to do that?" Haley asked, slightly nauseated at the sight of Sapph performing two basic mouth functions simultaneously.
"Inner skill," Sapph smirked.
"A particularly disgusting one," Haley commented, rolling her eyes nastily.
Ugh, this slop is appalling! Ace grunted, attempting to negotiate a particularly tough wedge of Primo Pokéchow.
I dunno, ours isn't so bad, Pixy muttered complacently, sitting away from Mace, who'd dived head first into his bowl and lay there with slurping sounds issuing noisily from him.
Hunh? Aren't they the same? Lavender asked in a slightly muffled voice as the glop she was eating had cemented her jaws together.
Chemical composition and analysis of thermodynamic processes permit me to confer that Pixy, Bubbles, Mace, Ento, Blitzkrieg and Vapor's nutrition pellets were prepared by Haley and ours were processed by Sapph. Silver droned in his flat, expressionless voice.
Translation, please? Vapor, Haley's new Eevee and Lavender's fellow former lab experiment, said impatiently. Vapor had an impatient demeanor and regarded Zen as a rival of sorts when it came to being cool and distant, and only supplied his voice when he felt it was necessary.
I think what Silver is saying, and I agree, is that Sapph made your dinner, Ento said placidly.
Crimson and Anuvi turned green at this statement (Although it was harder to tell with the Leaf Squirrel Pokémon) and ran past Zen into the bush from which the Combatant Pokémon emerged, clutching a number of Oran Berries in his metallic arm.
What's with the Bug Scout and Flea Farm? Zen asked, taking a large bite out of a particularly juicy fruit and nodding his head at the bush where a series of loud retching noises were issuing.
Like, why aren't you throwing up, Zen? Bubbles asked inquisitively.
D'you honestly think I'm that desperate to poison myself? Zen retorted. I chucked it into the bush first chance I got…
You ungrateful… Ace snarled.
…inconsiderate… Lavender hissed.
…arrogant… Bubbles yelled.
…ARSE! All three yelled in unison.
What… you want some of this? Zen snapped, dropping his fruit and putting up his fists.
Bring it! Mace and Vapor yelled, leaping up to their feet as Crimson reappeared, looking angrily from one member to the other.
Knock it off, guys! Crimson yelled.
Who died and made you leader, Bug Head? Zen snorted.
Better him than you, moron! Vapor hissed.
Waffles and toasty cheese! Blitzkrieg yelled happily.
Guys, please don't fight, Pixy pleaded.
Shut up, Foxy! Mace snarled.
Don't you dare tell her to shut up! Bubbles screamed.
All seven Pokémon stared at each other furiously snarling at each other until eleven beams of light struck their targets and drew them back into their pokéballs, uttering mixed oaths and admonitions.
"Will they ever get along?" Haley said exasperatedly, returning her pokéballs to her waist as she made to clear up.
Sapph shrugged as he made a non-committal shrug and moved forward to dispose of the leftovers.
"FREEZE!" A loud chorus of voices yelled.
Sapph whirled around and got himself slammed into the ground by a muscular man in a black outfit with a large silver S embroidered over where his heart would be situated.
"Sapph!" Haley screamed, throwing Crimson's food over her shoulder and into the face of a second grunt.
"URGH! Who made this crap?!" the grunt screeched, receiving a faceful and having the misfortune of taking in a bite.
"Trispio, Spider Web!" the other two roughnecks ordered as two fine yet insanely strong lines of webbing which bound and gagged Haley almost instantaneously.
"Think it's them?" one of the two other grunts snapped, stepping into the clearing alongside a large spider who had a metallic silver sheen and evil red eyes that were mirrored along its abdomen.
"Yeah," the other one replied, following suit as his Trispio lifted Haley over its low-slung body. "Called him Sapph, this one did," he went on, nudging Haley with his toe.
"Take their Pokémon," the second grunt snarled, spitting the last of the pokéfood out of her mouth as she wiped her face clean.
"Let's get going," the third one said curtly, leering at Sapph, who like Haley now lay bound and gagged by String Shot. "Our young friends need to meet Captain Atlas."
The four brutes laughed sycophantically and they dragged Sapph and Haley away from the campsite.
Just as they left the clearing, Anuvi returned from the bush, pale and sweaty, hobbling into the clearing as he clutched his stomach.
OK, that's it. In the interest of public health, I vote that henceforth Haley does all the… hey, guys? Where'd you go?! He called out, somewhat panicky.
Suddenly a loud shout of pain echoed from between the bamboo shots and a rough voice telling the first to shut it reached Anuvi's ears.
OK, this is so not good, The Mongle decided, following along after the sounds and scents the assailants and his trainer left in their wake.
***
Well, for this week's after show, time to fact-file Team Kamren!
Name: Kamren
Age: 12
Eye colour: Silver Grey
Hair colour: Reddish blond
Character: Haley's older snobbish and occasionally sneaky. As he's from one of the most influential families in Corei, he feels he's worth more than anyone else (especially Sapph) and that everything should go his way. He hangs out with Chaz; a large, sluggish dope, Carla; a smart blonde who's almost as snobbish as Kamren, and Dex; Carla's highly intelligent 10-year old brother.
Pokémon
Although he's obviously caught more than six Pokémon, he currently travels with three:
Name: Burner
Pokémon Species: Therline
Classification: Fire Tiger
Element: Fire
Captured in: Chapter Three: The Price of Trust
Evolved Prior to: Chapter Ten: Two Annoying Rivals
Author's/Artist's Note: Burner is seen as a creep by many a reader and a savage combatant by many an opponent. Burner taps into his savage Therline nature rendering him aggressive and hard to control. If there is one thing Burner will never do, however is playing dirty. He attacks straightforwardly and expects the opposition to do likewise. Burner hs learned Flamethrower, Metal Claw, Metal Rush and Earthquake.
Name: Ciela
Pokémon Species: Zwi-tail
Classification: Noble Crow
Element: Normal/Flying
Captured in and Evolved Prior to: Chapter Ten: Two Annoying Rivals
Author's/Artist's Note: Possibly the sneakiest member of Team Kamren, Ciela isn't above sneaking in an extra hit to ensure victory. Her name is derived from the Spanish word for sky and her shiny status makes her feel practically royal. Ciela has Air Cutter, Double Team, Peck and Quick Attack in its arsenal.
Name: Volt
Pokémon Species: Jolteon
Classification: Lightning
Element: Electric
Captured in and Evolved Prior to: Chapter Eighteen: One for the Honey…
Author's/Artist's Note: Not much is known about Volt aside the fact that he is Kamren's latest addition to the team. Hardworking and modest, Volt was one of Cipher's evolution experiments who finds solace in Kamren's company, after being given to Kamren as a gift by Tony for being seen as an exceptionally strong trainer capable of protecting the poor Eeveelution. Volt knows Quick Attack, Pin Missile, Thunderbolt and Bite.
