==Synopsis==
Justin aims to bolster Torchic's confidence by having him face Bug-Type Pokemon!
==Summary==
Justin is very proud of Torchic for helping him defeat Winston and his Litleo but acknowledges that Torchic struggled due to his lack of powerful Fire-Type moves. Therefore, Justin resolves to teach Torchic Fire Spin after researching that Fire Spin is a move young Torchic develop as they grow stronger.
Justin has Torchic battle and defeat several Bug and Grass Pokemon, particularly Wurmple and Shroomish in order to build experience an power. When Torchic gets tired, Justin switches to Ralts to train. Since Roxanne is Rock Gym Leader, Justin will be using him and Eevee to hopefully win their first badge. Justin considers teaching Ralts a third move, but he is pleased with his current power.
When Justin and Torchic resume training, his firepower has noticeable improved and she defeats a Dustox with Ember. However, one of the Ember attacks stray and spark a fire. The fire is put out by a Pokemon Ranger's Surskit.
The trainer introduces himself as James and blames Justin for the burns he has been treating on the wild Bug Pokemon. Justin apologizes and explains himself, leading the Pokemon Ranger to propose a battle. James explains what Justin did is now illegal. Many trainers pass by an battle against the wildlife in the forest. His job is to make sure the habitats are not destroyed such as stopped forest fires and tending to wild Pokemon when he finds them. However, James insists he is always open to a good battle.
Justin calls out Torchic first and James uses a Nincada. Ninjada hardens its body to weaken Torchic's Peck then strikes hard with Fury Swipes. Torchic fires an Ember, which Nincada dodges by burrowing away. Ninjada bursts from the ground to strike then hammer another Fury Swipes. Torchic endures and when commanded to use Ember, Torchic unleashes a Fire Spin, which consumes and traps Nincada. Nincada tries to burrow away, but Torchic defeats it first with Ember.
James recalls Nincada and Justin is thrilled he Torchic has mastered Fire Spin. James calls his Surskit, who smothers Ember and Fire Spin with Water Sport and Bubble Beam. Torchic then uses Peck, but she is defeated by a super-effective Aqua Jet.
Justin calls on Eevee second. Eevee proves a much tougher opponent for Surskit. After training blows, Eevee counters Aqua Jet with Double Team to surround Surskit then hammers the trapped Pokemon with Shadow Ball, which wins Justin the battle.
Justin and James shake hands on a fun battle. James treats Justin's Pokemon and offers Justin escort out of the Petalburg Woords toward Rustboro City. Since Torchic has learned Fire Spin as he wanted, Justin accepts.
