Shizriu was, in his opinion, a professional trainer. He wasn't worried too much about being champion.
In fact just being with his Pokémon he was content enough. He did, however, enjoy taking the challenge in whatever region he has ever visited.
Shizriu prided himself as a magician. Or well… so he would always say he was a magician. He had a secret that he didn't quite like making public.
Shizriu was walking through the forest. It seemed deeper to him than it had looked.
He sighed, this was his first week in the Unova region, and he wasn't quite use to the terrain.
He came across a young girl in the forest; she was about 10 years old. Being 19 he envied this girl's fired up face.
"Well, well… you wanna have a battle?" He asked the girl. She nodded. "Sure! I just got my Pokémon today!"
This caused Shizriu to smile, he remembered that feeling. "How about during our battle I show you some magic tricks" Shizriu said smirking.
The girl's eyes brightened. "I would love to see magic!" Shizriu nodded and pulled out a pokeball.
"Do me a favor, tell me what Pokémon you are gonna use, to be fair, I'll tell you mine. I have, in my hand, a Charmander."
The girl then pulled out her pokeball and said, "Well I have an Oshawott." Shizriu smirked and asked, "Are you sure?" as he threw the pokeball in his hand, out of the pokeball and Oshawott came out, confused and dazed.
The girl also looked baffled. She threw the pokeball in her hand and out came Shizriu's Charmander.
The girl applauded Shizriu and the fight went on from there, after their Pokémon changed sides.
Shizriu then gave back the girl's pokeball and vice versa. After a short exchange between both Pokémon, Charmander fell due to the elemental disadvantage.
Shizriu congratulated the girl on her win and then said, "Now... watch this." Shizriu walked over to his Charmander and gave it a tap on its head.
The Charmander then picked itself off of the ground and seemed to shake off its wounds. "Wow! How do you do it?"
Shizriu smiled grimly. "A magician never reveals his secrets…" Shizriu called Charmander back to his pokeball and walked away.
He felt like he was being followed. He turned to see a Snivy following him. Her face seemed… oddly human.
She then spoke to Shizriu, "A magician? Feh… you are no more a magician than I am a fire-type Pokémon."
Shizriu smirked, "What gave it away?" The Snivy rolled her eyes and crossed her arms, "Well… One you used teleport to change yours and that girl's Pokémon, and two… you are talking to me in Pokémon, which means that you, good sir, are a half-Pokémon… as am I"
