It is said that there was once a trainer who had been so frustrated by repeated defeats that she removed the limiters from her Meowstic's ears and allowed it to fight at its full power. Most Mewostic are weak pokemon, at least by League standards; their defenses are mediocre, and the psychic attacks which they can control are insufficient compensation. Yet Meowstic, like Espurr, have a far greater power hidden within their ears; evolution has not gifted them with any ability to command their power, only amplified an uncontrollable destructive force that wild Meowstic unleash only when their lives are in jeopardy.
In her first match of that year's Kalos Pokemon League, she ordered her Meowstic to use an attack called Psychic Ear. This was done, according to reports of the tragedy, at the beginning of the match; and she wore no armor, nor did she take any other precautions before making the order. At the name of the new attack, knowledgeable individuals attempted to shield themselves in any way possible; theyaccounted for a disproportionate percentage of the survivors. At the end of the match, the arena itself had been destroyed in the Meowstic's explosion; its trainer, opponent, opponent's pokemon, and half the crowd lay dead.
Perhaps this trainer was not motivated solely by her repeated defeats; she had undergone extensive practice with her Meowstic before this match, and perhaps this had led her to truly believe her pokemon could control this forbidden power. Perhaps the tales of her greed were simply invented after the fact, for it is easiest to blame the dead. In any event, her Meowstic could not be moved from what had once been the battlefield; it dug a hasty grave for its trainer, and spent the rest of its days weeping over her corpse.
