Erinachiropt
Indigoyle

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
POKÉDEX ENTRY:

No: 703
Name: Erinachiropt
Species: Stage One Firebat
Height: 2'4" (71cm)
Weight: 24lbs (10.9 kg)

Type 1: Fire
Type 2: Poison

Description: Erinachiropt is a splicing of Cyndaquil and Zubat genes
by humans, which escaped, and is now being bred by a colony of
Gligars for their own mating purposes. It can dig and breathe fire,
but it cannot fly.

Move List: Combination of Zubat and Cyndaquil moves, except for
those which require the use of its wings, and any strong fire
attacks that stem from its back.

Erinachiropt is the result of strange genetic experiments by the
humans to try to create a fire bat by splicing Cyndaquil with the
genetically versatile Zubat. This Pokémon is the first stage of
development; however, before the project could be continued any
further, the male and female subjects escaped, and the project was
shelved.

The two escapees were found by a colony of Gligars in the Lake Eerie
area. Their fire abilities were seen to have potential. With
Erinachiropt's part-Zubat structure and the Gligars' ability to
breed with them, the Gligars saw them as potential to reduce their
susceptibility to cold through a controlled breeding program of
their own, so as to allow year-long hunting.

The species is farmed by Gligars in the caves beneath Lake Eerie:
that farm is its only habitat to date. Erinachiropt's unstable
genetic structure tends to be submissive in breeding except with
itself, thus making itself a catalyst for "stronger" Gligar
production. Should any Erinachiropts escape from there, it is
theorised that they will seek out Zubat colonies and try to meld as
a ground-dwelling version.

Erinachiropt's wings are redundant. While they still retain the
musculature and nervous links of its Zubat ancestor, thus allowing
them to be moved, the wings do not allow the creature to fly. As
evolution of the species progresses, these may drop off.
Erinachiropt is short-sighted, but it retains the Zubat's ultrasonic
abilities to allow for navigation. Like its Cyndaquil ancestor,
Erinachiropt has its fire and digging abilities, including the
ability to flare on its back, albeit not as strong. It is unknown if
the creature has the ability to evolve like other Serielumenae
(evolving Pokémon), but if it does, the period until its evolution
is long and drawn out.

POKÉDEX ENTRY:

No: 704
Name: Indigoyle
Species: Gargoyle
Height: 3'2" (97cm)
Weight: 40lbs (18.1 kg)

Type 1: Fire
Type 2: Poison

Description: Like Erinachiropt, Indigoyle is a combination of Golbat
and Quilava. It still can't fly, but it has better fire attacks.

Move List: Combination of Golbat and Quilava moves, in addition to
its previous moves, except for those which require the use of its
wings. Its fire attacks aren't as strong as Quilava's, though.

Firstly, I'd like to thank Jimi for helping me with this. ^^ The
reason for its name will become clear once an actual evolution takes
place...

Like its Erinachiropt prevolution, Indigoyle is a combination of
Zubat and Cyndaquil genes. The evolution comes as a result of those
two creatures. Thus, it has a more Quilava-like stature, but it
still retains Zubat/Golbat features, such as its long pointy ears,
sharp canine fangs and redundant wings. Also, like its Zubat
heritage, the creature's eyesight will sharpen and be able to take
in more around it, but will still require the use of its
echolocation for greater distances than it can see.

It should be noted that the creature still retains its unstable
genetic heritage. Thus, any mating that does occur will only produce
baby Erinachiropts if both parents are of the same species; cross-
breeding produces non-Erinachiropt offspring. This will occur in
subsequent generations also, i.e. an Erinachiropt-born non-
Erinachiropt will not produce Erinachiropts. If you made sense of
that statement, good. XD

Indigoyles maintain their fire and digging abilities. Their strength
in fire attacks improve from their younger forms; they can use their
back flames with more skill and control, thus allowing them stronger
Quilava-like battle moves. They aren't as strong as actual Quilava
moves, though.

Erinachiropt moves to Indigoyle in the normal, levelling up way. For
all intents and purposes, this should be considered the final
evolution. But, you never know...
