Youngster Joey

==Summary==
Youngster Joey is considered the first Pokémon trainer that Ethan ever faces in the Johto Pokémon games. He is first seen battling a trainer named Mikey on Route 30, later seemingly having been defeated after Ethan delivers the Mystery Egg.
He is known for having a Ratatta that he constantly refers to as “top-percentage”, making him something of a memetic icon in Pokémon and pop culture. He is characterized a bit more in Pokémon Crystal, where it is revealed he only has one Pokémon because he wants to become powerful with only his partner. Oddly enough, he is depicted in several mangas as having a buzz cut instead of short hair like other Youngsters.

Notable Attacks/Techniques: 
*Tackle: Rattata charges into the opponent, dealing damage.
*Tail Whip: Rattata wags its tail cutely, making opposing enemies less wary and lowering their Defense stat.
*Quick Attack: Rattata attacks the opponent while moving faster than the eye can track.
*Scary Face: Rattata makes a scary face, frightening the opponent and lowering its speed.
*Crunch: Rattata crunches down on the opponent with dark energy. It has a chance to lower the defense of the opponent.
*Assurance: Rattata slams into the opponent with an attack that deals more damage if the opponent was already damaged just beforehand.
*Super Fang: Rattata’s two front teeth glow white and they grow longer. Rattata then hits the opponent with its teeth, it always damages the target until it has half of his current HP.
*Hyper Fang: Rattata bites down on the opponent with its large front teeth, it may flinch the target.
*Substitute: Rattata creates a clone that looks exactly like itself, when the clone gets hit with a strong enough attack, it disappears. Sound-based moves will bypass the substitute and hit him, however.
*Endeavor: This attack move cuts down the target's HP to equal the user's HP, the move does nothing if Rattata has more or equal HP.
