He's in Team Rocket, and obsessed with collecting evey type out there" Tyger pauses to take a breath, then holds Splash's pokéball, being careful not to open it. "I guess Splash finally evolved, though. I'm hoping someday Aussie will too. He should've already, but the treatment his former trainer gave him...well..." TBC Tyger Wolfe
