"Have you heard of the move 'Frustration', Lt. Colonel?" Kimblee's reply is prompt; he's actually considered that much in advance, and to be blunt his battling partner is one of the largest nerds Kimblee has met in a while - they've looked into it. "It's one of those moves that strengthens in power based on certain circumstances regarding the creature's upbringing - along the lines of Return, which strengthens based on how well it's treated. Frustration can be said to be Return's inverse; it strengthens in power based on how much it dislikes its trainer.

"The fact that such a move even exists implies that most of these creatures won't attempt to flat-out kill their trainers, regardless of how far you push them. To say nothing of the fact that none of my others have even attempted, and judging by how some of them are, it isn't just that the one had some sort of issue with its personality. The only difference is the microchipping procedure."
