[Seth Silvester]

Patting Himalayas in approval of the pokemon's last performance, Seth continued the trek forward. "What do you think if I gave some of the antidotes to Thea once I create them?" he questioned as the pair walked through the mires. Well, Himalayas more or less waddled next to Seth, but it worked. "I think the Infirmary would benefit from having more antidotes on hand, especially if there are going to be badge challenges against us in the future." The man grinned at this, adjusting his glasses slightly.

From the dull foliage something moved. "Hopefully this one isn't another bug," he spoke, stepping back as his Snorunt stepped forward to meet the new pokemon.

Still seeking any Poison type pokemon.

A putrid gas mixed with the foggy mire around Seth and Himalayas, causing Seth’s eyes to water. He raised his arm up, burying his nose into the crook of his elbow as he squinted at the incoming wild pokemon. They had certainly found a poison type, no denying that, Seth thought to himself—a flat kind of humor. Seth assumed it was either a Weezing or Koffing from the shape of the pokemon and the gas around them. His assumptions were correct as the Koffing blocked the cleared path in front of them. Each time the wild pokemon breathed more gas pumped from the craters in its body, causing Seth to cough.

Between the fits of coughing and his voice being muffled from behind his arm, Seth finally managed to order Himalayas to Ice Shard their opponent. The attack lowered the Koffing’s levitation in the air, its balloon-like body sagging slightly as it stared back at the two. Suddenly, more than just gas leaked out from the Koffing as sludge spat from the creature’s pores, covering Himalayas’ small frame.

This was not how Seth wanted to milk the pokemon for toxins.

“Use Disable! We don’t need any more of that happening,” the Warden croaked, observing how the Koffing formed a ball of energy and attacked once more. Seth’s poor Snorunt bounced back from the impact, leaving trails of sludge that had fallen of him in his wake. “It’s okay,” Seth soothed, “Get back up and freeze him like we did last time. I want to collect the poison before we leave.”

After using Powder Snow, Himalayas successfully froze the Koffing and Seth walked up to it. He collected the sludge on his Snorunt, scooping it into a few vials and wiping it off his pokemon with an extra rag from his pack. He then filled a vial of the gas leaking from the poisonous pokemon, tears weeping down Seth’s face the longer he worked on the Koffing. Once done, the man pulled back and told his Snorunt to finish the battle. They had antidotes to make and Seth was in desperate need of cleaner air.
