"What am I missing," Oliver muttered, leaning back as he watched the trouble maker climb up the desk in his constant search for food, or trouble. Mainly food, no matter how often he had been fed or how well, Mimic always seemed to be on the look out to stuff more in his face. "I really hope you outgrow the shove your face with food stage."

He consider the bug as it explored, reaching out to lightly stroke over the well fed body even as it wiggle and squirmed, giving his finger a nip before climbing up his hand. "You know, it sort of odd I have not seen you use a single powder attack." Oliver mused, gently ruffling the bristly fur that made up the neck collar. "Not one bit of poison, or stun, or sleep powders."

"Can you even make them?" He pulled the bug closer to his face, carefully eyeing the thick ruff as he attempted to get a closer look at the hairs. He fended off the sticky little feet, and the sharp maw. "Hmm, I think i have a magnifying glass and tweezers."

He set the bug in the enclosure, locking it up to make sure the bug could not destroy anything else of his and went to find the required items.

He set the supplies on his desk and carefully removed the bug, setting him under the magnifying glass as he picked up the tweezers, carefully shifting the fluff around. Oliver ignored the disgruntle look the bug gave him, and snorted as the bug attempted to bite the tweezers to just recoil in shock.

"Yeah, you can't eat these." He had not seen any sort of pollen or poison sacs on the hairs, instead it seem to just be rough bristles. "Is that why you just boldly throw yourself at my face? Is that your only mean of defense? Scare people off by being an aggressive asshole?"

"Well, I guess that answers the last of the research I needed to do." He stroked the bug a few times, and gave Mimic a small slice of egg before tucking him back in the enclosure, gathering up his supplies to start writing.

In the case of N. Scatterbug, the ruff around the insects neck is simply bristly fur containing no pollen glands. Unlike its Kalos counterparts, N. Scatterbug can not defend itself with various powders and has instead decided to intimidate enemies by boldly flinging themselves into predators and intruders faces. I have found this to be suprinsgly effective to upset those that come across this bug pokemon.

Who knows what behaviors and differences will be discovered when N. Scatterbug evolves, including possible differences in typing.


Oliver gave a hum, tapping his pen as he looked over this findings. Yes, this, this would do. He was satisfied with this to turn it in to the URA to get paid for it.

"Well, at the very least I am getting paid for this." He gently tapped the edge of the case. "And it will keep you in eggs. Which at least you will be happy with."
