It was an incredible day for Joshi today. Incredible indeed, as he had just beaten the Gym Leader Burgh after his 3rd attempt. As he walked out, happily popping the badge into his case, he looked at his starter Pokemon, Dewott, whom looked back at him in turn. They high-fived each other in excitement, despite being incredibly tired.

They quickly hustled back to the Pokemon center and rested up, healing not only his prized Dewott partner, but also the other Pokemon on his team, consisting of a Riolu and, a Pokemon he got given to him by his mother, Azumarill. The Dewott and Riolu were both male, while the Azumarill was female. The Dewott was named Boss, the Riolu was Shu, and the Azumarill was Stacy.

As he walked out, still smiling about his success in the gym, he bumps into a lady with light blue drill hair and blue and orange patterns, with a skirt that Joshi thinks is a bit too short. Nevertheless, he couldn't help but blush.

He wasn't very attractive or good at anything in his own opinion, and so he never ended up socializing much with girls, mostly due to confidence issues. He was 5'9'', had pretty pale skin, wore dark, square-framed glasses, and wore a blue and white cap that stood atop his messy, somewhat curly hair. His attire consisted of a blue hoodie with a black hood that was almost always kept down due to his hat, a white undershirt with sleeves that went down to his wrists, white slacks and black shoes. He also always carries with him a Marill backpack which he often gets teased about on his travels.

He couldn't remember the last time he was so close to a girl other than his mother. "U-Umm... I'm sorry." he stuttered and took a step back, in turn bumping into a man walking out whom gave Joshi a mean glare before walking into the busy night streets of Castelia City.

"You!" the girl yelled at Joshi, bringing him back to his senses. "You tried to look up my skirt, didn't you?" she continued angrily as Joshi looked at her. "Huh? Me? Of course not!" he protested. "Are you completely sure of that?". "Well... I may have seen the outline of your... umm... your..." he was trying to find the right words, but couldn't seem to grasp any straws in this situation.

The girl simply closed her eyes in annoyance. She took a Pokeball from her belt, spun it around on her index finger, and tossed it into the air, catching it directly in her palm; all this with her eyes still closed.

She tosses the Pokeball and opens her eyes. Out pops a Dewott which, unlike other Dewotts, has a scar across its left eye, which keeps it shut. It also sounds like it has a deeper voice than other Dewotts. "Meet my first, and most loyal Pokemon, Dewott. Or, as I like to call him, Ken. He'll be your opponent for tonight. Now how about you?" she said, adamantly showing she wanted to fight. "Hey, hold on! We don't have to fight. Please?" he pleaded, shaking in fear.

It was then that a Pokeball fell out of his bag and to the ground beside his foot. Out emerged his Dewott, Boss, whom stared intently at his fellow Dewott, Ken. "Seems your Pokemon wants to fight too." she commented in a mocking voice.

Joshi just freaked at this point. "Boss...? What are you thinking! This is crazy!" he pleaded, reaching the maximum of his stress and showing his real inner coward.

Boss simply looked at Joshi, raised a finger to his lip and shook his head. "You... think we can?". Boss nodded with certainty in reply, and pulled out both Scalchops, one in each hand, to get into a fighting stance.

The girl and Ken simply look at each other and give a mutual smile, and Ken gets into the same stance as Boss, although only using one of his Scalchops in his right hand, rather than both, the other remaining untouched on his hip.
