The Klink Line

Klink
The Gear Pokémon
Type: Steel
Official Registration #: 599
Entry: Although every klink consists of minigears that look similar to those of every other klink, in actuality, each minigear possesses gears that vary ever so slightly to the point where the minigear of one will not fit with the minigear of the other. Thus, klink that become separated and encounter other klink will simply rebound off of any minigear that is not their predetermined partner. Interestingly, however, klink minigear must always be in motion, as their constant movement against each other generates the energy a full klink requires to live, and the second a klink separates, that movement ceases. So how the behavior of separated klink minigears may be observed is, as with many other pieces of pokémonology, a point of mystery and fascination to this author.

Klang
The Gear Pokémon
Type: Steel
Official Registration #: 600
Entry: The evolved form of klink, by battle experience. Klang uses the speed and direction of its gears to communicate its emotions; the faster and more rigorous its gears turn, the more excited or upset it is. At its most agitated, its gears may reach speeds that could cause components to be shot free from a klang’s body. Should this happen, the klang’s entire bioelectrical system will cease to move, which in turn will force the unfortunate klang to shut down and die. Also at risk for dying: anyone standing within range of a large, thin piece of metal being shot from an overheating mechanical pokémon. Needless to say, only one of these things is mentioned in the Unovan pokédex.

Klinklang
The Gear Pokémon
Type: Steel
Official Registration #: 601
Entry: The evolved form of klang, by battle experience. The red core in the center of this giant mechanical pokémon serves as an energy tank. As klinklang spins, it generates energy that the core then channels into its electrical and light-based attacks. Of course, this bright red, giant core that is largely exposed from above may also serve a second, handier purpose: as a giant bullseye for quite seriously anything that wishes to attack as it generates the power it needs to strike.
