Himura’s fight against the strange Steelix would have boiled down to various combination attacks while in the end he would use himself as bait for all his pokemon to hit a weak point the Steelix gained after all the fighting. Bolt would have evolved to a PIkachu, Blaze to a Charmeleon and Valkyrie to a Pidgeotto after the fight and promptly passed out.

With that fight out of the way the Alakazam would have finished his fight too and after going over everything that happened in the mountain one last time he would teleport Himura and everyone he rescued to the pokecenter in Cerulean and the story would continue from where Ann found Himura.

Himura would somewhat explain what happened but wouldn’t say anything about Team Paradox, his sixth sense would flare up, telling him that speaking of them to pretty much anyone or in public would be a bad idea.

At this point Ann and Himura would make up after telling a little more about their past, Himura telling about his struggles growing up and Ann, even if a little embarrassed that her life was somewhat easy in comparison, would tell that she really wasn’t good at anything besides the stuff you need to participate in contests.

After recovering himself, Himura would allow his pokemon to be checked, he would get scolded for allowing Bolt and Blaze to evolve as they were too young and it might have caused problems. Nothing really bad happened to them but the nurse Joy would tell Himura that unless his pokemon were battling endlessly and against very strong pokemon, evolving while so young might make them very aggressive and dangerous to him. Himura would notice that using his power he could tell his pokemon’s levels would have been somewhat high(30-40s) but still not evolving. After a little research and some testing Himura would discover that pokemon could hold on unto the energy they gained by battling and whatnot to achieve a stronger evolution. Like, you could evolve and get a little stronger or you could hold on for a while and get a lot stronger when you evolve. Doing that is also what causes a young pokemon to not go crazy if they evolve early.

After resting for a while, helping Ann train and answering a few questions about everything that happened to the authorities, Himura would have gone after Misty to challenge her. At this point I was going to show she was in some sort of relationship with someone but I couldn’t really decide if I would use an original character or research something from the manga cannon I might have missed(I know that in the manga she likes Red but she loses that one very early on.) I would also allude that she might have kids and not necessarily be married yet. Would be somewhat a running gag that every time she would try to actually have a marriage ceremony something would happen.

Himura would challenge her to a gym battle personally and be scheduled as the main event on one of the days. Himura would also make a bet with Misty where if he won she would help him find a water pokemon for his team and in exchange she could use a stronger team, not the normal one to a challenger with only one badge.

Upon the day of the challenge arriving, after waiting for the other fights, Himura would have been called and the battle started. It would be a 4 vs 4 battle. Himura would battle each of Misty’s pokemon with one of his, switching out to give everyone a chance to fight. Misty’s third pokemon would have been a very strong gyarados that could fight against Bolt even when he was raining lightning on him.

The last pokemon she would use was a Lapras covered in scars. Blaze would fight against it and not even once Misty would give commands to it. The fight would have been strangely even as the Lapras would start to strategize a little but would ultimately be defeated. Himura would have a perfect win but nobody would say that Misty was a pushover in the battle, Himura earned his win.

Misty would then tell the story about the Lapras, it was a strange female one that left its group because it just loved to fight and came to find its way to Misty since nobody could handle the girl. After a night of healing Misty would present Lapras to Himura and ask if she wanted to go with him. The Lapras would accept and join Himura’s team.

The story would then somewhat shift to Ann’s training for the contest, two rivals would be introduced to her, a girl that pure natural talent that could make almost any pokemon into a star and an older boy(15-16 year old) who would use espionage and his intellect to discover who the judges of a contest would be and then prepare something specific to those judges. He wouldn’t be what people call good in a vacuum but his performances were in the top 10% of what you could expect at that level.

Himura would have gone up, towards bill lab, found that a lone Team paradox was in the nugget bridge trying to start something. he would stop things before it even started and it would dawn on him that maybe the places where Team Paradox appeared where not all that random and might be following the games or anime somewhat.

The story would continue, Ann would come in second in the contest, losing to her new girl rival. Following that, Ann and Himura would go to Vermillion, purposely avoiding Saffron city due to Ann’s request.

There, Ann would win a street lottery and gain 3 tickets to pass a week in a ship that was ported to the city(not S.S. Anne.) Ann would sell the third ticket to a random rich woman and both her and Himura would spend a week enjoying the cruise ship while also training. Himura would also learn to surf on his new Lapras over the week as they bonded. It would also be noted that Himura felt strangely at peace in the water even after everything that happened to him.

At the end of the week Team Rocket(Team Paradox) would attack the ship, looking for something. Surge would start a small-scale war against the people dressed as rocket members, this would be used to show how brutal actual fights could be in the world. Surge would be impressed by Himura and note that there was no way that the people they fought and killed were members of team rocket as he used to be a member and that wasn’t how they worked. The fact that their bodies seem to vanish and pretty much only him and Himura were noticing it also was alerting him that something was going on.

After the clean up Surge would use his privilege as an Ex-Gym leader and allow Himura to skip the line and fight the new gym leader as long as he made the fight more public and outside the gym to help boost the spirit of the people in the city. The new Gym leader would be a girl that appeared on the last season of Pokemon where Ash was still the protagonist, it was a fight for the world tournament.

The battle would be a 3 vs 5, the gym leader's two first pokemon would just set up the stage and soon lose(electric terrain, hazards, the like) and the battle would be pretty much a raid against her Raichu, her real ace. During the fight Himura would see the Raichu the gym leader was using, using variations of other moves, almost like they were new ones, and would start, in the middle of the battle, to make his pokemon try to create new moves. It would be a start but after various exchanges and not much progress, HImura would be down to his last pokemon, the Lapras. It would be a challenge but after they both finally get in sync, Himura would win in the end.

Next Ann would have her contest and win by the skin of her teeth as her partner, Sunny, would evolve during the finals, securing her a win in the battle event. She would then inform Himura that for a while she would focus on bettering herself as she knew she had no chance of winning the next stage of contests. Himura would start to help her train her pokemon to actually be able to fight.

They would go back to Cerulean, take a stop in the Power Plant where Sparkly would evolve into a Pikachu after helping there with some energy problems. They would then all go to the Rock Tunnel but after coming out, instead of reaching Lavender, they would get a little lost and arrive straight in Route 8. Ann would capture a Kanto Vulpix that became infatuated with Blaze after he defeated a lot of pokemons in the route as Himura was challenged by various people.

Next Stop was Celadon, once again avoiding Saffron. Ann would go on a shopping spree, mostly with Himura’s money, and almost everything they would need for their future adventures would be available. Seeing the possible problem of not having money Himura went towards the game corner, both for the money and to look for team Paradox. There he would find a strange scene of an Eevee playing in the slot machines and winning more often than not, even if not much.

The people there would explain the Eevees owner was a scumbag that owed money to a lot of bad people and the Eevee was trying to help for some reason. Himura would follow the eevee, find his owner and after a very heated discussion where bandits made a deal with the Eevee’s owner to sell the pokemon in exchange for dealing with his debts a fight would break out as the Eevee would have been devastated and Himura didn’t like it.

By the end of everything, Himura would have defeated everyone there, the police would have arrived to lock those people up and the Eevee would be given to him as he was the only one he was somewhat responding to. Himura would begrudgingly accept as he knew that both him and the Eevee wanted two different things and that wouldn’t change any time soon. This would be a long story line on how you could be a good trainer even to a pokemon that doesn’t necessarily have their interests aligned to you. This Eevee would barely fight but Himura’s other pokemon would convince him to at least train.

Himura would challenge the gym but he would this time just sweep with Blaze. Following that he would ask the gym trainers to help him find a grass pokemon to add to his team in exchange for helping them devise counters against their weaknesses. Erica would more than welcome it and until the day of the Ann Contest(she would still participate, even if for the money) HImura would work for the gym but would not find a single grass pokemon that wanted to come with him. Some people would mock him, saying that he should just capture a pokemon but Himura refused. Besides the Eevee, every single one of his pokemon were on board with his plans and Himura needed pokemon willing to go the extra mile. Beating a pokemon into submission wouldn’t help him.

Taking the cycling road, they went down, towards Fuschia City. As training, it was Ann that battled most trainers who challenged them to a fight. She would have won more than she lost.

Upon arriving in the city, Himura would inquire about the Safari Zone. It wasn’t the one like in the manga but like in the game or anime. You would pay to enter and had a limited time to catch pokemon with the special balls.

Himura would spend the entire time Ann was preparing for the contest in the safari Zone, trying to find new pokemon to join his team. HIs work would pay off with a Scyther and a Taurus joining his team. At this point Himura would start to plan on how to rotate his team to equally train them. He also explained that Blaze could never leave his belt so that everyone please don’t think it is favoritism, Himura’s life depended on it.

Ann would participate in her contest and lose in the initial stages. Soon after HImura would challenge the gym. After an intense 6 vs 6 tactical battle where Himura would have managed to barely win by using his new pokemon, he would get another badge. Koga would suddenly appear and congratulate Himura, scaring Janine. Koga would imply that he has some idea on what is going on and that HImura should be prepared to fight at any moment. He would also give a collection of TMs to Himura as a gift, giving the reason that the battle had actually reawakened Janine’s brain to fight again and he was grateful. It would be explained that Janine was actually considered the most unfair gym in Kanto since she would go out of her way to research the people who would battle her and plan counters for that. The fact that, even after that, Himura managed to match her planning with battle strategy and improvisation was commendable.

Asura would evolve in that last fight and contrary to what was to be expected, he became calmer upon evolving. After the fight Himura would focus a little more on the moves he was trying to create with his pokemon.

For Blaze he was trying to combine Dragonbreath with Flamethrower. It was going somewhere but blaze couldn’t maintain the mix long enough to be something wholly new.

Bolt was trying to combine Iron Tail with any electric move. Himura, after studying a little, noticed that most pokemon immune to electricity were only immune on the outside of their bodies, even ground pokemon. Bolt’s tail was uniquely pointy and they were trying to create a move that pierced any defense and shocked you from the inside.

Valkyrie was strangely good at using Twister so Himura was trying to see if he could make her combine twister with her other moves, Air Slash being the best one at the moment.

Asura, after evolving, on his own, was trying to create a new elemental punch move. With Lapra’s help, he was trying to create the water punch.

The Scyther, Tauros were too new to the team for anything and Eevee wasn’t a fighter.

Himura and Ann would leave the city and go towards Lavender Town. In the middle of the way they would have been attacked by what would have been the competent Jessie and James of this story. A pair of members of Team Paradox sent to specifically interact with Himura. They would have a unique pokemon from a previously closed region that required you to capture it in two pokeballs at once and two people had to command it. It would be a snake-hydra pokemon that would slowly gain more heads. The pair would be somewhat comedic but not enough for you to not take them seriously. It would also be clearly implied that they couldn’t use their full power for some reason so not using 6 pokemon each to battle Himura would have an explanation.

To Ann and most people, those two would have been a pair of team rocket cosplayers that didn’t like Himura personally for some reason.

In Lavender town proper, Himura would visit the pokemon tower, deal with more members of Team Paradox. Mr. Fuji Would actually be alive by this time and try to stop the members of team paradox himself but would fail due to his age. Once Himura dealt with the situation, Mr Fuji would fall ill and before he died he would give Himura a few mega bracelets along with a Charizardite Y. The mega bracelets were to be given to people Himura thought were worthy and the Mega Stone was payment. Strangely enough nobody would know how Mr Fuji came to acquire the items as he never left town and nobody delivered it to him as far the people that took care of him knew.

Himura would also gain the power of seeing the spirit of some dead pokemon. This would make him go into a short lived coma that would leave both him and Ann stuck in the town for a few days.

The story would then shift to Steven and Wallace fighting something and losing badly. Once they were with their last pokemon Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald would appear and rescue them with the pokemon they were fighting fleeing soon after. There would be some foreshadowing that they would have to wait for Himura to come back to deal with that thing. Steven and Wallace would say that they need to prepare everyone for what would be a clear disaster.

Stolen content warning: this tale belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences elsewhere.

Back to HImura and Ann, they would finally go to Saffron. Ann would make them stay at her home. After some light teasing from her parents, Himura would train for his fight while Ann did her best to make sure she could put on a decent show in her hometown. It would also have been explained that Ann pretty much ran away from home to pursue her dreams and that it was only after Himura explained his situation to Ann that she began to secretly communicate with her family to make peace. It somewhat worked, her mother was still worried sick about her but they now at least understood her better.

After spending a few days there, Himura would be the spectator of a scene where Ann’s family was just being happy together and he would start to cry uncontrollably. Ann and his family would comfort him, him explaining that he lost his family. Himura might be what he was but he still had scars. Seeing a happy family in front of him opened them a little. He was a very tough 10 year old but he was still a 10 year old.

Himura would become unofficially part of the family. Ann’s mom and dad would from that point act like his parents when possible, calling to talk with him and what not.

Himura would challenge the Gym. Unlike other Gyms, the fights there were all private with only a selected audience. In a comedic turn of events, Himura would win the battle by default since Sabrina herself would be knocked out by trying to read his mind. A day later they would actually battle but only to a draw.

Ann would have her contest but even after putting on the best show of her life so far, she would have lost to someone just passing through Kanto that was leagues above her. It would be someone famous that didn’t have time to normally participate in contests but would have the skill to be a master if she could compete.

Himura would take on the Fighting Dojo and Eevee would have his first fight, winning after learning Psychic and trashing one of the pokemon there because it reminded him of his owner. At this point the Eevee would start to get bouts of intense anger.

HImura would have his rematch with Sabrina and win. Blaze would evolve after the fight along with Valkyrie and Asura. Bolt felt that he could also evolve but was divided between evolving onto an Alolan Raichu or a Kanto one.

There would be a whole chapter about Himura and Ann going on a date that mirrored one that their Pikachu’s were going. It was always my intention to make them a couple but only after a lot of things. This was to give a glimpse of that. It would be a kids date, not a kiss or anything would happen. This would also show that Himura, in many ways, was a child, even if he had part of an adult brain inside him. He had pokemon and battles inside his head most of the time.

Sparkly would choose the Light Stone(it would be explained that you could evolve a Pikachu into its Alolan form using a special Light stone from there) and Bolt would use the remaining thunder stone one to evolve into a Kanto Raichu.

So far the story would have taken around 6 months(in story time) and the next part would be a somewhat time skip. Koga would have appeared again and explained to Himura that someone was planning on attacking Silph Co. But not any time soon. Himura would travel down to Cinnabar to challenge the gym there but after seeing the gym leader once, he knew that he could never win as he was at the moment.

The next few months would be spent with Himura training, his pokemon learning the moves they created, Himura would actually give one of the Mega Bracelets to someone, it would be later explained that he was one of the Ruby and Sapphire's kids that was on his way back to Hoenn. The Scyther would be evolved into a Scissor(without trading), Asura would have evolved too. HImura would also have given up on finding a grass pokemon in Kanto. During those months he was training, Ann would go around doing contests again, winning one and leaving only one left for her to classify for the conference at the end of the year.

Ann’s Gloom and Vulpix would also be evolved during this time. Ann would also note that unlike Himura, she can barely take care of 3 pokemon so she won’t be trying to catch any new one any time soon.

Himura would also have found 3 other mega stones. One for his Scissor, one for his Pidgeot and one for a Gyarados that he gave to Misty to take care. Her new tentative at a wedding ceremony would be interrupted by a wild magikarp evolving and somehow managing to use the mega stone to mega evolve on his own.

The team paradox duo would also occasionally pop up, but never using a pokemon that didn’t officially exist.

Himura and Ann would fly their pokemon back to Cinnabar. At this point the island was completely restored and a geothermal power plant that also served as the gym was there to not allow things to get destroyed like before.

The gym leader there was someone from a remote region, he was actually their champion until a while ago but he left the position to take care of the powerplant there. He would explain that he actually lost someone from his family there and wanted to make sure something like that wouldn’t happen again.

The fighting would have been intense, barriers to protect the spectators almost gave up mid fight. The last battle was between Blaze and the Gym leader’s magmortar. Blaze would mega evolve and not go crazy(until this point every pokemon HImura had that could Mega evolve couldn’t maintain the mega evolution for long without going berserk even when Himura got serious and didn’t even need to tell his pokemon what to do.)

After a last clash that melted what was supposed to be a fire proof arena, Himura was given the badge.

The story would then split between Ann and Himura. They had a time limit now to win their last gym battle and contest. Ann would go back to Saffron and win her master ribbon there while Himura would go to Veridian and challenge the gym there.

The story would go between them and their preparations. The gym leader of veridian would actually get permission for a 6 vs 8 battle just so Himura could use all his pokemon. Eevee actually wanted to fight this one after the gym leader said something to him.

The battle and the contest would start at the same point. Their struggles would be mirrored.

Himura would actually mega evolve every single of his pokemon he could by using the spare Key stones on the other Mega Rings he had but he would still barely win. Ann would also have to win actual fights against her rivals that were competing just for the money to win her ribbon.

Just after both their battles ended, Himura would be contacted by Koga, telling him to go to Saffron as fast as he could because team paradox was planning to make a terrorist attack on the entire city and Himura was the only one that could see the strange distortions they created fully.

The Gym leader would give Himura the item Sacred Ash. Himura didn’t have time to think about what her having that item would mean and just used it on his pokemon to fully revive and heal them. Mounting Valkyrie he would fly straight towards Saffron.

Upon arriving he would go straight to the Silph Co. building because it would be the only place that had some sort of distortion. Upon his arrival, Koga, Brock, Misty, Sabrina, Surge and Janine would go after him to raid the building. A mini-war would happen inside the building and it would be mostly destroyed with all the battles happening. Upon reaching the top floor one of the leaders of the team paradox would drop its disguise allowing even normal people to see his true appearance and then he would flee as Giovanni himself would begin to try and hunt the man as nobody had the right to impersonate him or his team. The duo that was following Himura would start to battle him at the top floor, this time with all their pokemon, but once they saw that they were going to lose they also fled in to a portal but sweared that next time would be the last time they battled because they wouldn’t need to hold back anymore.

The story would then cut back to Ann and turn the clock a little as the rest of the gym leaders besides the one in Viridian would start to try and protect the city from members of team paradox posing as team rocket members. This part would mostly be used to explain just how much a powerful trainer is worth as with just barely 10 people they protected an entire city with minimal damage. Ann would also add that she could see part of Himura’s fight at the top of the Silph Co. building and note that Himura was making sure no stray moves hitted the city.

After everything Himura would just collapse in exhaustion. Once he woke up he would somewhat explain team paradox to the gym leaders but would stop once Koga signalled him that they were barely hearing what he was actually saying. After everyone left, he and Koga would have come up with the theory that you needed to be a somewhat powerful trainer to understand what was going on. The gym leaders were incredibly talented and powerful trainers but an elite 4 member or champion was another thing entirely. Koga would continue to investigate things and say to Himura that he should just continue his journey.

Ann and Himura would soon go towards the conferences. After a not really eventful victory road they would arrive at the conference plato where the league and contest conferences happened one after the other.

The story here would have much to go on for a little while. Ann would register herself in the contest conference and Himura for the league one. They would prepare a little but mostly focusing on Ann for now and the contest conference would start. It would be a 7 day thing where you had to win 3 contests to classify for the finals. Some contests could have multiple winners. The exact details wouldn’t be really explained but Ann, with some strategizing from Himura, would easily classify for the finals in the first 3 days and prepare for the finals on the last day.

On the day of the finals Himura would be on the on the spectator seats and watch as Ann would just by the skin of her teeth advance the first two stages. The story would then cut to her and the finals would start. it would be a simultaneous show with another person that was clearly above her level. There would be some explanation as to how Ann was just in the Zone and not even her had any idea how she managed to get to the actual finals. She would start to remember a few conversations that she had with Himura and how if not for him she would probably have just gone back home after a while before doing anything worthwhile. Here she would also remember how Himura was really looking forward to the show she would do in the finals and how he wouldn’t miss it for anything in the world. After doing her best performance she would still have come up short of a true professional but she was happy. She knew that she couldn’t win but she did her best and that was enough. Upon receiving her prize there would be a little interview with all the finalists and when it was Ann’s turn she would thank her family and Himura. The interviewer would try to find Himura in the audience but he wouldn’t be found and some people would note that he left a while ago from his seat. Ann would have an extreme bad feeling and rush outside the contest hall.

The story would then cut to Himura feeling something really dangerous outside the contest hall just as the final was about to start and left to check. Once outside he would see the biggest rift in reality he ever saw and every instinct he had would scream to him that something really bad was coming.

He would fly up there and from the rift the two paradox members that battled Himura would have a quick fight with only the strange pokemon only they had that needed two trainers. After they easily lost they would explain that they acquired ultimate power and Himura would pay for the humiliation they suffered. After that a moltres would appear from the portal and start to just attack everything in sight while the two paradox members fled into the portal.

Himura would notice that the Moltres was starting to eye the contest hall and would begin to fight it.

This fight would be a brutal aerial fight. Not once any pokemon or human would touch the ground. Himura would have to constantly return his pokemon to their pokeballs as he jumped between Blaze and Valkyrie that somewhat kept the Moltres away from the hall. After a fight where all of Himura’s pokemon minus blaze fainted, in a last ditch attack, Blaze and Himura crash into the Moltres and while it is on the ground Himura does something that would stay a secret for a while. Since I have no plans on actually writing these things. Himura would have caught the moltres but he would be unable to use it for a good while since the moltres would appear to Himura as a level 200 pokemon.

Ann would find an incredibly hurt Himura and Blaze on the ground, laughing like maniacs. She would cry, then get angry, then cry again as she finally understood that Himura fought something to protect the contest hall. Himura would say how sorry he was but Ann would say it was ok. her performance was only good for second place and Himura deserved to see something worth first place. Once again Himura and his pokemon would have been taken to the pokecenter for treatment. The joy would joke that Himura was starting to get a reputation with medical staff.

The story would then fast-forward a week to the league conference.There would be an exhibition match between two elite four members to hype everyone up and then things would start in earnest. Since people from both Kanto and Johto would participate, the conference would have a lot of people. Green’s kids would participate so Himura would see a few familiar faces around.

The league would be pretty much nothing to Himura. He would win most fights using one or two pokemon and not even break a sweat. In the quarter finals he would completely destroy one of Green’s kids and that would finally get some attention on him as they were the favorites to win by a mile. Green would be surprised by how much the charmander he gave Himura had grown and his own Charizard was beginning to itch for a fight with it.

The semi-finals would be the climax of this part of the story. The other trainer would be someone that only after they saw each other up close Himura would see that he was a member of team paradox. The battle would start and the team paradox member would send a legendary or mythic pokemon but everyone would see it as a normal pokemon. The entire fight Himura would have to strategize and use every little bit of power his pokemon had and would only win by the skin of his teeth. The team paradox member would smile and say that he was looking forward to their next bout. He hoped that Himura would have a little more variety of pokemon next time. Before vanishing in a portal that nobody even noticed.

Himura would almost faint as he used all his powers to the limit and was extremely exhausted. He would eat and rest for the rest of the day but come the next day he was actually angry with the entire situation. By some stroke of fate, The Eevee, seeing Himura angry, asked to fight and with some simple guidance from Himura would sweep the team of the other finalist.

Himura would be declared the winner of the conference but would decline his right to challenge the elite four right away as he didn’t want the title nor he thought he was ready since the moment he won the league his power would ‘evolve’ and he would discover that with the exception of stats, level were relative. His pokemon were level 100 if compared to the level of most trainers, but when in comparison to the elite of the elite, they were barely level 30. Experience and training did way more than he was imagining until that point.

Ann’s family would arrive after everything and throw a little party for Ann and Himura. it would be a nice heartwarming thing where lots of people that helped or became friends with Himura would take part in. Oak, Green, Blue, etc…

The day after the party everyone would go their separate ways for a while with Himura going back to Pallet.

After a few days of rest and careful consideration Himura would decide that he needed to continue journeying and he needed to go to Johto now. He didn’t want Ann to come with him because it was dangerous and she was his best friend and he didn’t want her hurt because of team paradox. Still, he was somewhat an adult inside and knew that Ann would get angry no matter the reason he gave so he asked to meet with her in vermillion a few days before he took a ship to Johto.

There, he would explain in no uncertain terms that He was going to Johto and probably a lot of other places in the world and if she wanted to go with him she had to be ready to fight on his level. It didn't need to be now but she had to strive to be a better trainer to be able to defend herself because bad things are going after Himura and he didn’t want her hurt.

Ann would just say yes, make Himura fly her back home so she can take her back and a few things and they would go toward Johto, starting the next part of the story.

Some notes:

Blaze created move would be a dragon flamethrower that was super effective against fire, gras, water and electric but didn’t do damage to other dragons.

Valkyrie created move would be just a dragon type Hurricane that had double the chance to confuse pokemon and even a small chance to flinch.

Bolt created move would be Spark Tail, an electric Move that would be especially super effective against things normally immune to electric type moves.

Asura would have mastered 4 more new elemental fists, 2 which he could only use in double battle. Water and Flying punch for normal moves and Psychic and Dragon punch for the tag ones as he would need another pokemon to produce the energy to generate the move.

The rest of the pokemon wouldn’t use created moves until this point of the story.
