Vergil's Hitmonlee

Vergil's hitmonlee is another special pokemon.

Intially also first encountered as an egg, Victor and Puka (now a alolan Raichu) find it on the beach among other similar eggs, having been brought to the region through deep underwater streams. Victor says he believes Puka was also brought from that region, as it differs from regular raichu.

Initially Victor thinks all those eggs are dead and will never hatch, but Vergil notices that it is getting warmer, thinking there may be life inside. He then decides to hold it close during the night, in an attempt to use his body weight to bring it to normal temperature and save it. During the night, Vergil has weird dreams, not realizing that they are actually memories from Tyrogue while still in the egg. The memories are:
- A scientist talking to another one, asking why to use a fighting type. The other scientist replies that it might turn out to be similar to Gallade. The first scientist replies that it won't be of any use to them, and he should dispose of it.
- He then feels diving in water, then surfacing and just drifting apart in the stormy sea.
- Eventually he feels a familiar presence, Zack. He doesn't see him, but feels his aura. At the same time, he feels a terrifying presence too, a vast dark power (will turn out to be corrupted Kyogre).
When he wakes up, he thinks it's all just a dream.

When it hatches, Tyrogue is a distant and tough pokemon, endlessly training to strengthen its body by breaking rocks. In times of peril, Tyrogue has shown to possess psychic powers to an extend, but its frustrated mood makes it incapable of focusing its power onto targets. Victor says Tyrogue is a variant, meaning it comes from a region of another climate and conditions, forcing the tyrogues there to evolve in a different way. In reality, Tyrogue is the result of an experiment made by Silph co, in which they infused part of Mew's DNA to a Ditto. Then they made Ditto breed with different pokemon, in hopes that it would create stronger variants. Tyrogue was one of the few to actually surive. The ditto was much smarter than average, and while normal dittos can transform to the enemy pokemon, this one can telepathetically communicate with the trainer and transform to whatever pokemon the trainer chooses. Also can use many moves.

At some point, a cursed hypno and a bunch of drowzees attack the place vergil is, putting everyone to sleep and draining them of their powers.There, he and Vergil connect psychically, and Vergil sees its memories from when it was only an egg. On top of what Vergil had previously seen, this time he also saw the hitmonlee father being dead alongside the eggs, and then tossed to the sea. Vergil then showed Tyrogue his memories too. Tyrogue saw how much he and his trainer had in common, as well as with Ivy and Cubone, and got closer to all of them. Vergil offered to become a family with Tyrogue, and asked for an offer to help Tyrogue become stronger, physically and mentally, not accepting what the scientists said that he is a failure. Touched, Tyrogue accepts Vergil's proposal, and their bond severs Hypno's hypnosis, waking everyone up. With their spirits up, Vergil and Tyrogue defeat a drowzee as other trainers defeat the other drowzees and hypno. After this, Tyrogue trains intensively with Vergil and the other pokemon. Hitmonlee manages to defeat the fighting gym from saffron.
He eventually learns to use aura sphere, and trains his legs more. later, he evolves into hitmonlee, and learns more moves. Along with aura sphere, he uses mind reader, and high jump kick. He also learns a variation of harden, using it on his legs to block incoming attacks and deal powerful kicks. He also uses his psychic powers to create psychic fields on which he can step mid-air, and he uses another technique to free himself midair when he is thrown back, neutralizing the effects of the collision to the ground.
Hitmonlee trains intensively with trainers from the Fighing Jodo and the P1 Grand Prix (maybe they will be in both). Anthony, Giant and Rebecca.The pokemon hitmonlee trains with are: Hitmonchan, primeape, machamp and gigantamax Machamp.
