Samurai

**Samurai** returns in Pokémon Reset Bloodlines as a reoccurring character. He retains his old arrogant personality. He also is shown to heavily favor Bug-type Pokémon, showing reluctance to use other types.

## History

### Starting Arc

Samurai battled Gary Oak when the Pallet Town native ran into him in Viridian Forrest. Samurai suffered a total defeat and felt completely dishonored by the other trainer's behavior both in and out of battle.

When he ran into Ash and noted that he too came from Pallet, Samurai decided to take out his frustration on him. This too resulted in Samurai facing defeat, having his Pinsir fall to Ash's Metapod, and his own Metapod to fall to Ash's Pidgeotto. When Ash's Metapod managed to use both String Shot and Tackle to defeat Pinsir, Samurai was taken aback and claimed that it must be a Caterpie in Metapod clothing, not knowing that a trained Metapod could learn the attacks.

### Hunter J Kidnapping Arc

Samurai decided to wonder trade his Butterfree, hoping to get a rare Bug-type in return. Instead, to his disdain, he got a Snivy from someone in Unova. He attempted to battle it to see what it could do but to his frustration his other Pokémon were defeated by the Grass-type.

Samurai then made his way to the Route 10 Battle Club, where he did some training with his Bug-types. In one battle after his Venonat fell to a Sandslash, his Snivy released herself from her ball and took the battle in to her own hands. The snake Pokémon managed to defeat the Ground-type with moves that Samurai was not aware she possessed. To his astonishment she then took her Poke Ball from his hand a cut it in two with a Leaf Blade, before attacking him and running off.

Samurai continued his training in the Battle Club where he was matched against Iris. When Iris revealed that she was not taking part in the gym challenge, Samurai was insulted thinking she would not be proper training for his Pokémon. This was later proved incorrect when he was easily defeated by Iris' Excadrill.

### Fuschia Arc

Samurai was observed by Sabrina, due to the incompetence he had in Ash's previous memories. She deduced that he was more competent in this timeline and deserved to keep living.

### Stuff In Between Arc

Samurai had a battle with Joshua, but his Bug-types were unable to earn him a win. Joshua mocked Samurai, bragging how he was so much better for having four badges rather than Samurai's three. When Ash came by and challenged Joshua, Samurai cheered for Ash, while noting that it felt weird to cheer for someone who had defeated him in the past.

### Indigo League Arc

Samurai managed to make it to the Indigo League Conference, proving that he was able to earn his eight badges. Samurai won his first four rounds in the tournament. In his fifth he was matched up against Koga, who was easily able to defeat the rookie trainer. This ended Samurai's first tournament run with a Top-64 finish.
