Ah. I read about these creatures and their levels, from gaining battle experience if I recall.

[That made sense then that the Meowth couldn't use it yet. From the few battles Ardbert had seen it do thus far, it wasn't very experienced at all. At least the failed attempt at a move was a distraction to get the cat to stop eating grass. Instead it turned its back to them to wander off.

Given that his Pokemon had stopped, he turned his gear back to finally get a look at Steven and in turn giving Steven a better look Ardbert.]

I know little of the beasts of this world and even less so of their inheriting of... skills from breeding. [By the look on his face and his hesitation he's clearly not going to be getting that one soon.]

Still. It's a comfort to know I won't want for coin during my travels and for that you have my thanks.
