Zoron walks down the beach with Torchic, happily, scratching its back. Suddenly, a trainer pops out.


 * Trainer: Hey, you there!

Zoron ignores the random trainer and continues to walk on.


 * Trainer: Uh… hey, wait!

The trainer runs ahead of Zoron. Zoron stops and crosses his arms.
 * Zoron: What do you what?
 * Trainer: I challenge you to a Pokémon battle!
 * Zoron: Pokémon battle? No thanks.

Zoron walks away waving his left hand. As Zoron was walking away, while the trainer was in the back.


 * Trainer: Hey! Do you want your Torchic to become stronger?


 * Zoron whispers to himself: Stronger? I guess I can train Torchic a bit.
 * Trainer: Hello?
 * Zoron: Sure!
 * Trainer: Great! I am pumped! You will get what I really mean...
 * Zoron: What was that?
 * Trainer: Haha! Nothin.
 * Zoron: So Torchic, (Zoron sets him on his left hand) ready for a battle?
 * Torchic: Torchic! (Torchic replies with a happy face)


 * Trainer: Come on out! Shellos!
 * Zoron: Really… a snail?
 * Trainer: Don’t judge a Pokémon by its appearance.
 * Zoron: Oh whatever. Torchic, you’re ready?
 * Torchic: Tor-tor!
 * Zoron: Look, this snail is a piece of cake. You simply just go ahead and defeat it. I don't even need to tell you anything.

A battle against a random trainer and Zoron begins.


 * Trainer: I guess you’re ready. Shellos, use Mud-Slap!

Shellos fires dirt. Torchic was hit. It inflicted damage and reduced Torchic's accuracy.


 * Zoron: What was that Torchic? You could have done something about that!
 * Trainer: You shouldn't be harsh on your Pokémon. It seems you’re new to Pokémon battles… Your Pokémon can’t do everything by itself. You are supposed to command him. If your Torchic was fast, you could have commanded him to dodge. Therefore, your Pokémon would dodge my attack. But instead, you let the whole job to Torchic. Trainers and Pokémon work together during a battle. Your Pokémon isn’t left to do the job by itself in a Pokémon battle.
 * Zoron: Don’t tell me what I already know… Torchic, just defect that lump of slime.
 * Torchic: Torchic? (Torchic turns his hand and looks at Zoron confused on what to do)
 * Trainer: I guess you just don’t listen, and you really should do so. Let’s go Shellos!
 * Shellos: Gurppp!
 * Trainer: I’ll teach you a lesson… Water Pulse!

Torchic simply just ducks down. The small round of water missed Torchic!


 * Zoron whispers to Torchic: Good one…
 * Trainer: That doesn’t mean that your Torchic dodge one of my moves means you’re going to win! Shellos, go for it, Harden!

Shellos stiffens all the muscles in its body to raise its Defense stat.


 * Zoron: That did nothing…
 * Trainer: True, it did nothing to your Torchic. But it did something to my Shellos.
 * Shellos: Shelloooshh!
 * Trainer: So, I am going easy on this part. Are you going to attack?
 * Zoron: Sure, Torchic go head in!

Torchic charges at Shellos but once Torchic bumps into Shellos, Shellos’s body reflect the impact on Torchic. Torchic gets flung back.


 * Trainer: I hope you know why that happened. And when your Torchic tried to attack, it was not slow, but not fast either. If it was faster, maybe you could have gotten a chance for a hit on my Shellos. Also, this is the effect of the move I used you called “nothing”.
 * Zoron: Hmmph…
 * Trainer: I guess to finish this battle up! Shellos, finish Torchic with Water Pulse, full power!
 * Shellos: Shellloouussso!

A huge amount of pulsing water was summoned. The water then generated an ultrasonic wave. It went right directly for Torchic. Torchic was hit and confused!


 * Zoron: Torchic!

Torchic spun and fell. Torchic fainted! Zoron quickly ran to Torchic. Zoron looks at the trainer.


 * Zoron: What happen?!
 * Trainer: Wow, you’re a complete newbie. There is nothing to worry about your Torchic. It fainted, or let’s just say defeated. Your Pokémon will be in this condition if defeated in a Pokémon battle.
 * Zoron: But will Torchic be OK?!
 * Trainer: Of course, just give him a potion or give the Pokémon Center a quick visit.
 * Zoron: Oh yeah… I remember, Finch told me about that.
 * Trainer: Pardon me?
 * Zoron: Nothing. Where is the closest Pokémon Center?
 * Trainer: No need, for now. I got a full restore!
 * Zoron: What’s that…?

Torchic wakes up.


 * Torchic: Tor…chic…
 * Zoron: Torchic! You fine there buddy?
 * Torchic: Torchic…!
 * Trainer: It’s a medicine that can be used to fully restore your Pokémon and cure other condition your Pokémon have.
 * Zoron: That’s great! Please use it right!
 * Trainer: Can do! Oh, by the way, the name is Lance. Your name is...?
 * Zoron: Zoron.

The Trainer uses a Full Restore on Torchic. Torchic is fully healed	!


 * Torchic: Torchic!
 * Zoron: Torchic! I am glad that you’re feeling better.

Lance shuffles through his bag, he takes out something. He offers them to Zoron.


 * Lance: Here, these are potions. Use them if your Pokémon is hurt a bit.

Zoron takes them happily.


 * Zoron: Thank you.

Lance walks away.


 * Lance keeps on walking facing away from Zoron: Sigh… You know, you should practice with Pokémon battles. Also, you have a lot to learn. I hope you learned your lesson. Anyway, (The Trainer stops and turns) you really should listen. (The Trainer looks ahead and continues walking) Like listening to what I am saying, might come in use someday.

As the mysterious Trainer, named Lance walks away, Zoron was paused in time.


 * Zoron: Maybe… I will listen.
