The Artist

One day, the S.S. Anne arrived in Vermilion Harbor. Leaf and I boarded the ship. There were many Trainers onboard, and we battled all of them. We also ate a gourmet meal in the ship's restaurant. Afterwards, we exited the ship.

As the ship departed, we noticed a girl standing on the port. Her face, hair, and shirt were splotched with paint. She carried a large sketchbook in her hands, and a duffel bag was slung over her left shoulder. Leaf and I walked up to her. The girl introduced herself as Mina. She was a Fairy-type specialist from Alola.

"Aww…Well, shoot. I was so caught up sketching the ocean view here that I guess I missed my ship. Hmm…I guess I'll stay here for a while, in that case! I really like the color of the sea in Kanto anyway," Mina said.

I invited Mina to come with Leaf and I to Mt. Moon. That was the only place in Kanto known to have wild Fairy types (the Clefairy and Jigglypuff families, to be specific). Mina said she'd go only if I'd battle with her.

"How about it, Kantonian Trainer? Want to try battling my Fairy-type Pokémon?" Mina asked.

I accepted. Later that night, we arrived at Mt. Moon. The full moon was out, and there were no clouds in the sky. A cool breeze blew. A Clefairy and a Jigglypuff wandered through the grass.

Mina called out a Clefable, and I called out my own Clefable. Our Clefable were evenly matched in defense and power. They exchanged Moonblast attacks until her Clefable was knocked out.

She sent out a Wigglytuff. I recalled Clefable and sent out my own Wigglytuff. Our Wigglytuff were evenly matched. They swapped Dazzling Gleam moves until her Wigglytuff was knocked out.

She called out a Mr. Mime. I recalled Wigglytuff and called out my own Mr. Mime. Our Mr. Mime were evenly matched in power and speed. Her Mr. Mime used Light Screen and Reflect to bolster its team's defenses. My Mr. Mime knocked hers out with three Shadow Ball attacks.

She sent out an Alolan Ninetales. I recalled Mr. Mime and sent out my own Alolan Ninetales. Our Ninetales were evenly matched in speed. They traded Dazzling Gleams until her Ninetales was knocked out.

"Oh, wonderful! I'm shocked at your strength! You and your Pokémon battling side by side. Now, that's a great composition!" Mina said.
