I think if he was capable of learning something like that, he probably wouldn’t have spent 25+ years losing in pretty much every medium there is.

As far as he thinks, simple is what you go with when nothing better is available. His Seviper’s fortunately/unfortunately being borrowed by Archer at the moment, so that might not be an option. But it’s an idea I’ll definitely keep in mind! It'd be relatively easy to figure out who it belongs to since it's not really a common Pokemon in Route.
