Purrloin
The Devious Pokémon
Type: Dark
Official Registration #: 509
Entry: Due to this kitten-like pokémon’s deceptive cuteness, the humans of purrloin’s native Unova are frequently incapable of holding a grudge against it, even when it blatantly steals food and valuables from them. As this use of an adorable, wholesome-looking facade in order to evade punishment is a well-known habit of theirs, purrloin has come to be thought of as, even among native Unovans, an accurate representation of the Unovan justice system on the whole.
Liepard
The Cruel Pokémon
Type: Dark
Official Registration #: 510
Entry: The evolved form of purrloin, by battle experience. This sleek but beautiful leopard-like pokémon is known among Unovans for two things. First, it is widely considered a symbol of elegance, with its shimmering pelt and graceful movements. Second, it is known for stalking its prey with the utmost stealth and attacking them from behind. That having been said, it is a point of interest in this author’s opinion that many pokémon in Unova seem to enjoy sneaking up on its prey and attacking it from behind or using appearances to coax its target into letting its guard down … not that this author is saying this implies anything about Unova or its people, of course.
