rascoal

while the sight of fire in a coal mine is not often a welcomed one, the sight of this pokémon often makes miners' entire day. thats because the flame emitted from the body of rascoal can only react with its own body or the flame of other rascoals. this also makes miners days because rascoals make their dens in large deposits of nearby coal. this has led them to be a hero of sorts to the hard-working people of pankasu's twelfth district, as they happily show miners where to dig in exchange for a few shiny objects or a snack or two. trainers should be wary, however, these pokémon can not so easily be trusted as during the slower mining season they become quite mischievous and often resort to quick tricks and pranks on oblivious trainers. they have even been known to trade out goods from a trainer's pack with rocks.
