It's a bright, sunny morning in Pewter City, most Trainers' first stop on their road to becoming a Pokemon Master. Today's young hopeful is nineteen-year-old Joseph Cotter, presently found on the outskirts of town, training his Pokemon with a little sparring match. The gleaming crimson of his Scizor's claw cuts a bright swath through the air, but Joe's most beloved Pokemon, his Kirlia, has learned well how to dodge by now. With his high resistance to Psychic and Fairy attacks, Scizor makes an ideal partner for target practice, lasting longer than any of the boy's other Pokemon. However, Joe had gotten his Kirlia a little gift recently, a TM for Thunderbolt. With an electric crackle, a thoroughly-singed and rather annoyed Scizor collapses into the grass, fainting, as the attack bypasses his defenses.
"Sorry, Scizor, guess I didn't realize it'd hit that hard," apologizes Joseph, as he returns the armored insect to his Poke Ball. Turning to Kirlia, he says, "Good work, looks like you can win if you get the first hit in, even with the bad match-up! Shame you can't learn any decent Fire-type moves, or you'd be unstoppable. ...Hey, are you feeling alright?"
The reason for Joe's concern over his Kirlia is made apparent as she begins to glow, filled with the power of evolution from her unexpected knockout.
