It had been another quiet day in the town of Dewford. Lucia had been enjoying her time training for the upcoming Gym Challenge and this time, spending time with some of lesser used Pokemon. A Paldean Wooper had been roughing up some of the training dummies placed outside to focus on using some of their moves. While instended for combat, however, Muck had other options.

"Poison Jab it, Muck!" Lucia called out behind the fence.

The Wooper turned to look at her with a mindless cry, before then following orders in his own, empty headed way. Spinning around once, he summoned forth the latent poison in his body and spat out a glob of mud at the target, drenching it further in caked mud. Once done, the Wooper would throw himself into it and begin to goof around.

"What? No, not Sludge Shot! We went over this!"

Lucia groaned, trying to snap her fingers together to get Muck's attention. It took several tries, but he had caught on and looked back to her with that mindless smile.

"Urrrgh! You're lucky you're cute. Focus up for a second. I want you to look at that dummy."

He turned his head and nodded, bouncing up and down.

"Yes! Okay, now you know how to use Poison Jab, right?"

Muck nodded his head again.

"Good! Now do it."

Another Sludge Shot as he spun back to his trainer, just in time to see her holding in her frustrations.
