You had entered the Bug-Catching Contest in Johto, where Pokemon Trainers compete to catch the single best Bug-type Pokemon they can find. By the end of the contest, you had managed to capture a Venonat, a fuzzy purple inside with big red eyes. And upon hearing that second place went to a Bug Catcher who caught a whopping Pinsir, you didn’t have much confidence you’d win…until you heard that the announcer declare that the winner was your and your amazing Venonat!
