RA093

==Synopsis==
Yazmyne stops by a trainer club to rest and train Cyndaquil after he lost control of his Blaze during the Amberboa Contest. Unfortunately, Yazmyne doesn't know how to train Cyndaquil's Blaze without hurting him to unlock the ability. Yazmyne watches a Double Battle at the trainer club as she loom and the winner of the battle overhears her woes and tells her simply to have her Pokemon attack Cyndaquil regardless. Yazmyne is disgusted by the suggestion but cannot continue when her Bagon runs away from the trainer in fear.
The trainer, whose name is Collin, recognizes the Bagon as his former Pokemon, whom he abandoned and gave to Professor Cypress. Richard remembers thinking Bagon was weak on his own so he couldn't have the energy to be strong. Richard released Bagon to Cypress, knowing only Battle Items, Cypress' specialty, could be he only way for Bagon to be strong. However, Richard adds he doesn't wish for a Pokemon who isn't strong on his own. 
Yazmyne dismisses Collin for him not being about to see the value Bagon as she has. Richard scoffs at the notion because he's very away of Yazmyne winning the Kanto Grand Festival as well as the Wild Rose Masquerade, having been a competitor in the latter event. He notes that she didn't use Bagon in the any of the tournaments because she knows Bagon is her weakest link of her team. Bagon begins to believe Collin because Yazmyne truly hasn't used him in her competitions, but Yazmyne tells Richard of the Etylia Town Contest to which Bagon was a vital asset in collecting her second Riau Ribbon. As such, she proposes a Double Battle with the bagain that Collin has to apologize to her Bagon if she wins. If she loses, she'll forfeit her elemental gems, her prize for winning the Wild Rose Masquerade. Collin agrees.
Collin chooses Gabite and Hariyama and Yazmyne chooses Bagon and Cyndaquil. During the battle, Bagon's low confidence against Collin causes him to falter and Cyndaquil takes significant damage battling alone and standing up for Bagon. Cyndaquil ultimately taps into Blaze and gains control for a moment by delivering a powerful Flame Wheel, but the control is fleeting, and Cyndaquil burns out. When Hariyama looks to finish Cyndquil, Bagon evolves into Shelgon and defends his friend with Protect.
