Being a Smeargle was much more hard work than people think, sometimes!

Certainly, Sketch means that one could pick any road in life you want... But those are, like, big decisions!! Those moves stick with you, unless you decide to forget one in lieu of another - and you have to actually find the perfect moves to pique one's interest with!

Hence some of Yip's choosiness, in which moves she wanted to sketch. Certainly, she could go for something powerful and straightforward... But where was the flexibility in that? What fun was there in just, having a huge fuck-off laser?? Where was the mischief potential???

But, as she found, there was much to learn from her own packmates.

During the evenings, when they begin to howl one by one... It takes her by surprise, to see when some use Copycat to Howl with!

This piques her interest, the ability to copy moves without having to commit to it. Thus, she is more than happy to Sketch it for herself; a fun and flexible move, with which to cause some shenanigans. Perfect!

If you asked Yip, having a floating letter bouncing all over the place was weird. She didn't wholly understand the deal with Wulkos - it just sort of showed up one day, and Ettie happily accepted the psychic-type's presence around the den.

But, one thing that she did notice about them, was the move Hidden Power. Sometimes, whenever they had to chase off a wild intruder, Wulkos' Hidden Power seemed to - without fail - leave the foe smarting! And each time she saw it in action, she was more enamored with the move. Something that she could use in any situation, against any enemy? Sign her up!

Thus, the next time she saw Wulkos putting the move to use, she was quick to Sketch it for herself; no doubt, she'd find use for it.
