Numel and Camerupt

bills-pokedex:

Numel
The Numb Pokémon
Type: Fire/Ground
Official Registration #: 322
Entry: True to its species designation, this small, camel-like pokémon is known for its dense nature; it doesn’t notice when it’s been hit until much later. Of course, this pokémon’s body is also a walking cauldron containing magma that reaches temperatures in excess of 2200 degrees Fahrenheit, so even if it fails to notice when it’s being hit, that doesn’t necessarily mean hitting it is a good idea.

Camerupt
The Eruption Pokémon
Type: Fire/Ground
Official Registration #: 323
Entry: The evolved form of numel, by battle experience. The “volcanoes” on this camel-like pokémon’s back are actually bone protrusions with direct connections to camerupt’s magma reservoirs. Said reservoirs are normally the source of camerupt’s fire-based abilities, but every ten years—or whenever camerupt is angered—these volcanoes erupt, spewing super-heated molten magma dozens of feet into the air. How can this pokémon’s volcanoes erupt with such force, without harming their camerupt host? That is an excellent question, reader! The answer is [CONTENT TO BE INSERTED WHEN THERE ACTUALLY IS AN ANSWER]

Mega Camerupt
The Eruption Pokémon
Type: Fire/Ground
Official Registration #: 323+
Entry: The advanced form of camerupt, via cameruptite. It is perhaps unsurprising that mega evolution boosts most of camerupt’s capabilities, including both offensive strength (in both forms) and defensive abilities (also in both forms). It is, after all, a creature capable of triggering mini volcanic eruptions from its back in its base form; the extra energy merely disturbs its inner magma enough to strengthen the force of these eruptions. Yet despite how dangerous and utterly destructive mega camerupt can be, its considerable drop in speed, combined with its general shape, have caused the internet to refer to it as “volcano roomba,” because no force of devastation is too cute for the internet, apparently.
