After a rough day of battling with N and his minions T2T was back on the road, on his quest to get the badges. T2T had had a relatively peaceful walk, a few trainers had came but got beat by Iron-Fist. Partway through the walk T2T encountered another trainer.

"Excuse me." He said. "Are you T2T."

"Yes." T2T replied. "Why?"

"Well. I am Hilbert. One of Prof. Juniper's trainers. I was told to see how Riolu is doing."

"Actually his name is Iron-Fist." T2T said showing him the Pokeball. "Well, not like that. How strong he is. Go Tepig!"

"Lets go Iron-Fist!" T2T said.

Tepig snorted fire out of his nose and kicked dust as he began to charge.

"Tepig use Flame Charge!" Hilbert shouted.

Tepig burst into flame and charged at Iron-Fist. Tepig got nearer and nearer.

"Iron-Fist use counter!" T2T said.

The blue aura surrounded Iron-Fist. Tepig was a few feet away when Iron-Fist slid out of his path and punched him in the snout. Tepig flipped over and landed on his back. Tepig struggled to get back on his feet as Iron-Fist dashed back to T2T.

"Use quick attack." T2T whispered to Iron-Fist.

Iron-Fist dashed forward, Tepig sprung to his feet and readied for the attack. Faster than the eye could see Iron-Fist threw a punch at Tepig and knocked it backwards again. Tepig caught on fire and its eyes turned blood red.

"Tepig calm down!" Hilbert said. "This is why you lost our last battle, control your temper! Use…" Tepig dashed ahead before Hilbert could finish. He put his head forward and smashed his skull against Iron-Fists. Tepig got dizzy from the attack and calmed down. He looked around then noticed Iron-Fist falling from the sky. Purple ball of energy at hand. Iron-Fist slammed down on Tepig causing him to faint.

"Well, I didn't really expect to win anyway. So here is what wanted me to give you." Hilbert said. Then he handed him a small machine.

"Its TM52 Focus Blast. Riolu could really use it. Anyway gotta go back to Striaton City see ya later. Good luck with the badges!"
