Poison Pokemon
Arbok
Caught as an Ekans; found on Route 34
Level 65
Female
Nature: Docile
Characteristic: Somewhat Stubborn
Move Set: Acid Spray, Mud Bomb, Gunk Shot, Venoshock
This Ekans happened upon Atem when it was just a newborn. At first it was very angry, having lost its way from its other newly hatched brothers and sisters, and took its bad mood out on Atem. It latched onto his arm, biting him as hard as it could. While its fangs were still something to be reckoned with, it had no poison yet. Atem took it on as a teammate and raised it; the Ekans ever since then taking to nibbling on Atem's being from time to time as a method of calming. Now as an Arbok it still likes to do this but it makes Atem very nervous as its venom is very powerful.
Nidoqueen
Caught as a Nidoran; found on Route 3
Level 59
Female
Nature: Bashful
Characteristic: Strong Willed
Move Set: Double Kick, Chip Away, Super Power, Sludge Bomb
This little Nidoran was found with another when the two were very young. They were very in love. Atem felt bad about splitting them up so he caught them both. They work very well together in double battles, often trying to protect one another or even sometimes trying to out do each other.
Nidoking
Caught as a Nidoran; found on Route 3
Level 59
Male
Nature: Bold
Characteristic: Hates To Lose
Move Set: Double Kick, Poison Sting, Earth Power, Megahorn
The other set in the duo of the Nidorans. He's always been grateful to Atem for catching them together and keeping them so well off. Whenever he has one, he always seems to call the other. Outside of battle these two are often seen cuddling with one another.
Seviper
Found on Route 114
Level 58
Male
Nature: Rash
Characteristic: Proud Of Its Power
Move Set: Poison Tail, Poison Fang, Poison Jab, Bulldoze
This snake pokemon attacked Atem while on his travels through Hoenn- quite mercilessly. It was very strong and put up an extremely tough fight but in the end Atem was able to out maneuver it with quick thinking. Sometimes it still has trouble being part of a team, rather wanting to be brilliant on its own. It's because of this that Atem can't ever use him for double battles. It also has a bad streak with wanting to impress Atem no matter what the situation. This often lends the trainer to a lot of headache and trouble.
Crobat
Caught as a Zubat; found in Mt. Moon
Level 57
Female
Nature: Hasty
Characteristic: Highly Persistent
Move Set: Cross Poison, Wing Attack, Air Cutter, Poison Fang
This Zubat wanted to prove so much to its other clan members that she was so amazing that she relentlessly went after Atem even after he'd sprayed a max repel. The end result was her getting knocked clean out after smelling the air, falling from the cave ceiling right to the floor. Taking pity on the bat (though having been thoroughly annoyed by other attempts by them through this cave) he caught the pokemon and brought it to the pokecenter. After feeling much better, the Zubat decided to stick around as a member of his team.
Drapion
Caught as a Skorupi; found in the Great Marsh
Level 65
Male
Nature: Hardy
Characteristic: Loves To Eat
Move Set: Ice Fang, Poison Fang, Crunch, Dig
This little Skorupi wandered upon Atem's camp at night time looking for some food. Through the rest of his travels during the night along the Great Marsh it continually attacked his camp trying to eat all of his tasty food. In the end, when sharing wasn't cutting it, he decided to battle and capture this pokemon. It has an innate love of all food- human or pokemon and will eat most anything given to it. Even though it has been trained and has become better since then, sometimes if left unattended by something yummy it will wander off and steal a taste.
