BA052

==Synopsis==
Yazmyne's learns more about stone evolution in the worst way possible. 
==Summary==
Yazmyne invests her training efforts into Ivysaur as she prepares for her rematch against Erika, trying to devise ways to counter Erika's spore strategy as well as her new Tangrowth. However, only Butterfree and Ivysaur can effectively counter the spores. Daniel has been practicing with Yazmyne and suggests she teach her Pokemon Safeguard, which he considered for his own Pokemon but none of them can learn the move. Yazmyne thinks it is a good idea to teach Staryu, but it would only be a temporary measure as Staryu is still weak to Grass-Type moves. Yazmyne and Dante decide to take a break, hoping to come up with more ideas later.
Meanwhile, a few trainers spot Yazmyne's Staryu and Daniel's Weepinbel and invite them to the Celadon Mall where three brothers selling Water, Fire, Leaf, and Thunder Stones to trainers, who quickly use them on their Pokemon. The brothers acknowledge Yazmyne from her Contest victory in HopHopHop Town and were hoping to evolve her Staryu into Starmie with a Water Stone as well as Daniel's Weepinbel into a Victreebell. While Dante briefly considers it as seeing the Erika's, Yazmyne quickly pulls Staryu back and refuses their offer rather rudely, which angers the brothers. That night, Yazmyne, Daniel, and Dante allow their Pokemon to sleep outside at the Pokemon Center, and during someone steals Staryu. The try to steal Weepinebl as well, but the Grass-Type likes to sleep high in the trees. When Yazmyne awakens to find her missing Pokemon, she turns panic into fury.
Yazmyne goes on a rampage across Celadon City to find her Staryu, refusing to contact the police as she wants to hunt down Staryu's captors. Yazmyne finds Staryu, which had been evolved into Starmie by the Eevee brothers, who did so to get back at Yazmyne for insulting them. Yazmyne surprisingly screams and breaks into tears. She shouts angrily explains that she knows plenty about stone evolution. Yazmyne explains that fully evolved Pokemon who evolve by stone instead of experience are traditionally incapable of learning incredibly rare, valuable, essential attacks and movements that they could have learned in their unevolved form, citing several attacks that her Starmie can never learn, such as Psywave, Hydro Pump, and Power Gem, and Reflect Type that it would have been able to learn in its Staryu form. Yazmyne in her rage dishes out more insults before brutally defeating the Eevee Brothers in battle.
Yazmyne recovers Starmie and assure it that she loves it all the same. Daniel and Dante strongly consider turning in the boys to the police for stealing Yazmyne's Pokemon. However, the boys plead for forgiveness and offer Yazmyne an egg that will contain an Eevee. Yazmyne accepts the egg but destroys their remainig stock of evolutionary stones out of lingering rage.
