Edgardo Ikaji

Show me your spirit! YOUR FIGHTING SPIRIT!!!

Edgardo is a Pokemon Trainer and martial artist hailing from the Four Kings Dojo in Saffron City, being a student in the dojo and the son to one of the four kings: Bruce Ikaji. Edgardo shares the wish of his dojo to reclaim their rightful ownership of the Saffron Gym from Sabrina. Edgardo is on a quest to find the strength (both physical and mental) to take on Sabrina and reclaim the rigthful position of the Four Kings Dojo.

## Personality

Edgardo is a flame. He's simple in the way he functions, but his outlook is anything but. He's a boy very much driven by emotion, whether positive or negative. He celebrates every victory with a roar, and every defeat with a slump. He's loud and brash, not afraid to show others how passionate he is about what he is doing.

Edgardo can often fall victim of taking himself too seriously, which leads to particularly strange interactions with others and particularly crushing defeats. When things don't go his way, Edgardo will be the first to blame and punish himself, falling into slumps very easily. However, he doesn't let himself reach that spot easily. He has an iron will. He's not one to quit while ahead, and will make sure every possibility is exhausted before he goes down. And if he goes down, it'll be in flames.

Everything Edgardo does, is for what he believes is the good of others. Edgardo will easily put himself at risk if it means the safety of those he cares about, or the advancement of a common goal. However, this philosophy does skewer his vision of morality. Even if it doesn't align with what he wants, Edgardo will do good and fight for it's sake. He also doesn't hurt others if he doesn't deem it just. As he is used to looking up to his father for everything, not just Martial Arts, he has a tendency of blindly following the ways of those who earn his trust. In this sense, Edgardo can be a bit gullible, and will sacrifice aspects that make him who he is to better imitate others who he believes posses the qualities he needs to better achieve his goals.

## History

### **Pre-Day 1**

#### Four King's Dojo

Edgardo's journey begins the same way almost all the other dojo member's journies start, with a promise of change and a trip to Sabrina's gym. Edgardo, untrained and unknowing in the art of Pokemon battles, proclaims that when he returns to the gym, he will have settled the score and turned the Four Kings Dojo into the official gym of Saffron City.

#### Saffron City Gym

Edgardo crashes inside the gym and utters his warcry!

> "Sabrina! I've come to end your reign and restore the fighting dojo to it's rightful place!"
>
>

This catches the attention of two psychic lackies, who start to gatekeep and give Edgardo a hard time. Edgardo, however, ignores them, for he would rather conserve his strength for the true challenge. Eventually, Sabrina arrives and breaks off the scuffle. Edgardo challenges her for the right to become the official gym of Saffron on the spot and Sabrina, although irritated from the repeated chore, agrees to the fight. As they walk to their destination, Sabrina points out that Edgardo is travelling with a Normal-Type Munchlax. She asks if that goes against the code of the Dojo. Edgardo replies that it's not about the type, it's about the fighting spirit. Sabrina scoffs at the childish philosphy.

Sabrina is able to pick up that this will not only be Edgardo's first gym fight, but that it will be his Munchlax's first official battle. The gym leader warns Edgardo, but although scared, Edgardo is much too determined to turn back now. And thus the 1v1 commences. Sabrina sends out her Kadabra and Edgardo retaliates with his only Pokemon, Kung Fury! After taking a few seconds to compose himself, Edgardo goes on the offensive, having Munchlax send out his signature Power-Up Punch! What Edgardo fails to realize at the moment is that either Munchlax is too slow, Kadabra is too fast or a combination of both. Kadabra easily dodges the attempt and reacts by himself with a silent Psychic, smashing Munchlax into the wall next to Edgardo. Munchlax, however, is tanky, and he was able to stand up nd return to his fruitless endeavor, this time trying a Tackle.

This ended predictably, with Munchlax being plastered on the wall once more. In desperation, Edgardo called forth Munchalx's potentially strongest and yet most unreliable move: Metronome. This finally catches Kadabra off-guard, as a weak but impossibly quick Thunder Shock strikes the Pokemon. This was it. Last Resort was finally ready. Munchlax charged the devastating move and shot it out like a beautiful cannon of majestic power. This was it. The gym was his. However, Edgardo once again underestimated the capabilities of his opponent.

From Edgardo's perspective, Kadabra had been cleanly obliterated by the blast. However, Munchlax knew something was wrong. In all his excitement to finally put forth his strategy, Edgardo did not notice Kadabra teleporting out of the way, now standing behind a completely defenseless Munchlax. Before Edgardo could process the horror, Munchlax had already been skyrocketed into the ceiling, finishing Edgardo's first ever Pokemon battle in utter and absolute defeat.

Before leaving the gym and Edgardo and to his own devices, Sabrina chastised Edgardo for his brash attitude and predictable strategies, crushing any will that might have survived that final blow. Edgardo returned his Pokemon and walked off to the streets of Saffron, tears starting to form in his eyes.

#### Saffron City

Edgardo finds a warm and comforting alley to cry in. How was he going to tell his father, his fellow fighters... How was he going to everyone that despite his best efforts, he failed miserably? Just as Edgardo reached the zenith of his misery, Kung Fury exited his Pokeball. He weakly approached his trainer and made it clear to him this couldn't be the end. Seeing how strong of a will his Munchlax had rejuvinated his own. Edgardo was back, and he wasn't giving up, not ever now! However, the two still recognized their own faults. Edgardo knew that to better himself and his partner, he needed to seek adventure and find his own path to power. He couldn't return to the gym, or he feared he'd put himself in an infinite loop, one never to surpass Sabrina. And thus he decided to move on and take on the rest of the gyms, one day possibly achieving the strength to take on Sabrina. And besides, he did promise his gym that he wouldn't return unless Sabrina was defeated. Edgardo decided he was a man of his word on that. After a quick trip to the Pokemon Center, Edgardo was ready to officially start his journey.

#### Route 5

The first step to his journey was getting journeymen. Of course, Edgardo couldn't just have any old Pokemon. He needed those with the strongest fighting spirits! And thus, Edgardo began to scream all across the winding route, asking for the Pokemon inhabiting it to show him their fighting spirit. After he had sucessfully scared off every single Pokemon on the route, Edgardo naturally concluded that the Pokemon of Route 5 simply did not posses the spirits he was looking for. His next step, calming down, for perhaps his spirirt was scaring off the Pokemon. He sits on the grass and simply meditates. Once he opens his eyes, he notices an Abra joined his meditation circle. At first, he reacts with a jolt, for the slightly familiar face reminding him of the Kadabra that had crushed him. However, he composed himself and realized this was an opportunity. He realized this was the perfect weapon against Sabrina, her own medicine!

First, Edgardo sent out Munchlax, and asked him to befriend the wild Pokemon. Kung Fury certainly tried, but the Abra was completely unresponsive, almost as if it was deep asleep. Edgardo then shyly gave Munchlax one of his Pokeballs and asked him to tap it onto the Abra. Munchlax complied, and without much struggle at all, Abra had been caught...by Munchlax.

Exilirated at the feeling of finally having a victory, Edgardo quickly sent it out and dubbed it Ice T due to it's calm and cool nature. He tries his own hand at interacting with his new companion, but just like with Munchlax, Ice T was completely dulled out. Edgardo, despite not being able to talk to it, feels a powerful yet silent Fighting Spirit eminating from it. With that out of the way, it was time to proceed! Next stop, foraging! Edgardo, and most likely Munchlax, would get hungry eventually. So, food needed to be found! Seeing a familiar and comfortable building ahead, Edgardo and gang headed to the Day-Care Center.

#### Pokemon Day-Care

Once he arrives, Edgardo strikes a quick friendship with the old couple running the center, Roger and Elizabeth, who provide with specialty Munchlax Pellets and information about his new partner, who thanks to the couple, he now knows is male and has the ability Inner Focus. Touched by their kindness, Edgardo tears up for the second time that day. Deciding to not waste their efforts, Edgardo sets off once again.

#### Route 5

After a bit of a botched training session, Edgardo senses an incredibly powerful fighting spirit nearby. He runs towards it, and notices another trainer doing the same. Seems he's not the only one interested in this particular Pokemon. Soon in the horizon, Edgardo sees the source, a Pineco who is simply laying on the ground. The stranger reacts first, sending out his Cyndaquil, and chucking it right at the Pineco. Edgardo is quick to follow, finally using Abra's teleporting abilities to meet the poor flung Pokemon there. Edgardo and the now introduced Zavier meet at a stalemate, both recognizing what the other wants. Zavier proposes a Pokemon battle to determine who would be spoiled with the presence of such a magnificent Pokemon. Edgardo, of course, agrees.

As usual, Edgardo's initial strategy consisted of smash and destroy. Munchlax lunges at Cyndaquil with a Tackle. The latter is easily able to dodge the incoming attack and counter with an Ember. Luckily, thanks to Thick Fat, Munchlax tanks the hit quite well and gets right back up. Edgardo recognized his repeated mistake, and decided he wasn't just going to scream out moves. He needed to think. Edgardo ordered Metronome. Without even seeing what the result would be, Zavier showed off his Spring Kick technique. Using the first kick of Double-Kick, his Cyndaquil sprang up into the air and his second to strike down with great force. Luckily for Edgardo, Munchlax used Shadow Sneak, and by dipping into his own shadow, was able to completely dodge the attack. Zavier reacted and made Cyndaquil fallback and hit an Ember once more. Munchlax avoided this too popped out of his shadow unharmed. Now that Munchlax was close, Edgardo saw the opportunity to land a heavy hit, and thus Munchlax was to approach with an Upper-Cut Power-Up Punch. However, as usual, he was much too slow, and Cyndaquil countered with a nasty Double-Kick, stirking the belly and forehead, finally landing some serious damage on Munchlax.

Seeing his opportunity, Zavier had Cyndaquil use Defense Curl. However, this gave Edgardo a brilliant idea.

> "Munchlax! Power-Up Punch the ground!"
>
>

Munchlax put all his trust into his trainer and striked the ground with all his might. This worked, and gave Munchlax a boost in power to negate the Defense Curl. Zavier began to grow worried, as setting up would prove fruitless in this situation. In a brash move, Zavier went on the offensive, having Cyndaquil go for a Spring Kick. Munchlax readied a conter with Power-Up Punch. As Cyndaquil fell, Zavier knew he needed to do something to take care off the counter, and thus he ordered Cyndaquil to cancel out and spring up from Munchlax's head. Edgardo and Munchlax's bait had been bitten. Now that the defense was cancelled, there was no protecting Cyndaquil from the Last Resort Munchlax sprang upwards with. This knocked Cyndaquil clean out of the sky and crashing into the ground.

Everything halted, for it seemed Munchlax had bested the little rodent Pokemon. However, the fight was far from over. Cyndaquil barely stood up from the attack, but it quickly sprung to life once more as the fire from its back bursted into a pillar, before resting as a bonfire-sized flame. This was Cyndaquil's Blaze. Zavier tried out the new form with an extra-powerful Ember. Munchlax retaliated with Metronome, but seeming to start suffering from the draw, got Defense Curl, which did little to protect him from the wave of fire approaching him. With another Ember approaching, this time Munchlax used Tackle to clash. With the power of Thick Fat and sheer determination, he was able to breakthrough and shorten the distance to Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil approached with a Double-Kick to which Munchlax responded with a series of Power-Up Punch. The two clashed and seemed to find themselves on even ground now.

The two went back and forth for a while, Edgardo trying to keep up with Cyndaquil's massive power boost, all the while chastising Zavier for his repetitive strategy. Zavier was much too focused on the fight to pay any mind to the comment. After all, he did seem to have the edge. Eventually, Munchlax was able to roll Beat Up, which prompted Abra and Munchlax to come and force Cyndaquil into a corner. By this point, Pineco had long since ran away, preferring not to be obliterated in their clash.

> Tears of made of pure testosterone fell down Edgardos cheeks. The site of both his compadres was just so beautiful. The bonds he felt with his Pokémon had never been stronger. Feeling completely confident in his partner he shouted with all his might “KUNG FURY USE LAST RESORT!!!!”
>
>

This attack forced itself into Cyndaquil, and the latter responded with the strongest Ember he could muster. In a puff of white and red, the two Pokemon had knocked eachother out. While the battle seemed to be over, for Zavier, this had to continue. He hastily sends out his Zubat. Edgardo reacts and re-summons his Abra. This time, Zavier was the first to react, quickly making Zubat approach with a super-effective Bite. Abra was unresponsive, and took the damage. However, then Zavier did something a bit unhinged.

> Zavier smiles, lowering his cap over his eyes and snapping towards Edgardo, signalling for Zubat to attack towards him. "Supersonic."
>
>

In the first moment of conciousness shown from Abra, he teleported towards the Zubat and smacked it out of position before it could hit Edgardo. After realizing what was going to happen, Edgardo cancelled the battle and stormed out. Honor was perhaps the most important thing to him in any battle, and it seemed as if Zavier completely lacked it.

After cooling off a bit, Edgardo decided to search for more Pokemon to train against. However, once again, the fighting spirit of the route just was not cutting it out for him. With this, he simply decided to see the end of the route and find someplace to sleep. However, the natural fog of Route 5 had caught up to him. Edgardo followed the path of the river, hoping to find an exit that way. However, the stream kept going, and going, and going. Edgardo had tired himself out till nighttime following the same infinitely long trail. What Edgardo eventually found was not an exit, but rather Zavier, spread across the floor passed out. Seems something had gotten him, and hidden in the fog, it might come for Edgardo next. Edgardo, in an act of honor and valor, took Zavier and went to go look for clarity. The fog only got thicker and thicker. Edgardo was running out of options, and thus, asked Abra to teleport the three of them somewhere safe. Abra shyly grabbed onto Edgardo's leg and took the three of them to their last location The Day-Care Center.

#### Pokemon Day-Care

Now secured in the Day-Care, Edgardo was quick to ask Roger for help. Roger was able to confirm that Zavier was still kicking, and he just needed to catch up on some well-deserved rest. He kindly offered the two a room to pass the fog in. Roger let it sleep that the fog was most likely Misdreavus and Mismagius claiming the night by creating artificial fog and confusing everyone in the route with their illusions. Edgardo seemed content with the explanation, until Roger explained they were either looking to prank him, or hunt him. Not feeling comfortable choosing between the two, Edgardo ended his first day as a Pokemon Trainer with a nervous laugh and restless sleep.

### **Pre-Day 2**

#### Pokemon Day-Care

Edgardo got no sleep due to fear of the Misdreavus affecting more than just the route. However, Edgardo's natural oil dump of energy made it so this wasn't that big of a problem. He'll just make up the sleep later. Zavier was still asleep, so he'd just leave him to the care of the couple. After healing his Pokemon and expressing his grattitude, Edgardo would head off back to the hellscape that was Route 5.

#### Route 5

Edgardo traverses the route once again in search of spirited companion. However, the creatures found him first. A Meowth, thinking he was prey, attacked his leg. Meowth then retreated once it saw that Edgardo was much larger. In his excitement, Edgardo ran up to it and accidentally kicked the Meowth across the route, making it run away on landing. He gave it chase, but alas, the kick gave Meowth too much distance, and it found its way out before Edgardo could reach it.

With that venture dried out, Edgardo was forced to find another way. Eventually, he did, catching an Oddish midway through burrowing itself on the ground. Realizing kicking Pokemon probably wasn't the best strategy to catch them, Edgardo employed a familiar and sneaky technique. He asked Munchlax to approach with a Pokeball, mimicking the way they caught Abra. Unfortunately, this only ended with Munchax tanking an Acid. This move convinced Edgardo that the Oddish was brimming with fighting spirit. And thus, he engaged it in battle.

After a short scuffle with the Oddish, Munchlax found itself slowly getting drained. They needed a new approach, and fast. Edgardo then came up with an idea. He handed Munchlax a pebble, and using the power boosts from the Power-Up Punches, fling it at Oddish. Munchlax complied and shot the rock like a bullet. The pebble struck Oddish with great power, and gave Edgardo enough time to throw a Pokeball at the distracted Oddish, securing his capture.

> "Excelsior!"
>
>

#### Cerulean City

After catching Oddish, Edgardo finally finished the treck and reached Cerulean City. He wanders around in awe, for this is the first time he explores a city that isn't Saffron. After a failed attempt at finding more food for him and his partner, Edgardo goes to the Pokemon Center in order to heal. However, his lack of sleep catches up to him and he ends up taking a short nap. Upon waking up, he realizes he didn't even reach the counter.

While at the center, as he waited to heal his Pokemon, he oversees a news broadcast on the TV talking about a gas attack on Route 6. Edgardo would rather not listen to that, so he distratced himself by asking Nurse Joy about the machinery available to him. They spend some time talking and eventually, he leaves the center with his newly healed party. With that out of the way, he was off to Route 4 for some "bonding-time".

#### Route 4

This time, Edgardo doesn't rush into the grass. He merely walks into it. His patience was rewarded with a pack of Rattata, which his newly named Oddish; Miku was able to take care of. No, they were too weak! He needed to find something stronger! And boy did he get something stronger.

As he traversed into the more rough-road side of Route 4, he encountered a Primeape. The first thing Edgardo did was hide behind a boulder, for this was an exceedingly tough opponent. However, he came to the conclusion that as a fellow martial-artist, he must listen to him. And thus, he approached the Primeape and kindly asked it to join him. Edgardo in turned was gutpunched.

The young warrior is mad, but controls his anger. He unintentionally provokes the Primeape by telling it it should have said something before striking if it wanted to prove its true strength. He sends out his Oddish, but he gets taken out with a series of swift Karate Chop. Next up to bat is Ice T, who ended up angering the Primeape even beyond by embarassing its rushes via Teleport. In the peak of its anger, Primeape rushed at Edgardo. Now that this was the second time a Pokemon attacked him, Edgardo was prepared and took his fighting stance, ready to settle this old-school. As Primeape reached in for a series of clutched-rabbit punches. Edgardo sustained the damage, and now that it had Primeape close, supplexed it harshly into the road, a move he learned from Barry the Stone Wall, one of the four kings of his dojo. However, Edgardo exposed himself, which prompted Primeape to land a series of Low Kicks on his stomach.

Seeing as his opponent had the power advantage in the close-range, Edgardo now moved to keep his distance. Using Poisoned Emperor Tristen's "Flicker Jab" technique, Edgardo marked his distance from Primeape. Primeape duck-rushed under the attacks and approached with Scratch. Summoning the third ruler of his dojo, Edgardo was ready to counter with a Judo Throw from Counter-Queen Emilia. Primeape fell right for the trap! It jumped at Edgardo and managed to get a Scratch on his forearm. However, Edgardo took hold on the Pokemon, slammed it into the ground with an over-the-shoulder throw, and finally channeled his father, the last king of the Dojo: Combat King Bruce. With the help of his father's Volcanic Entei Smash, a low strike to the nose. Primeape was defeated, left to breath heavily on the ground. Edgardo threw a ball to catch it, but Primeape escaped. However, instead of getting angrier and attacking once more, Primeape turned around and walked away, limping from his wounds. A respect among warriors compelled Edgardo to let it scurry off. Perhaps they will meet once again. With Edgardo and his party exhausted, it was time to pay another visit to the Pokemon Center.

#### Pokemon Center

Despite having coming out the victor of his fight, defeat was splattered on Edgardo's face as he walked inside the Pokemon Center. He gave his Pokemon to the Nurse Joy and sat down, waiting, reflecting... Despite winning, Edgardo had become stuck with the idea that since Primeape escaped the Pokeball, Edgardo never truly won. If that Primeape had decided to continue, it would have most likely decimated him and his entire team. It wasn't Edgardo who spared Primeape by not chasing him, it was Primeape who spared Edgardo by deciding to go. This little doubt crushed Edgardo. Just as he was about to break, Nurse Joy joined him on his seat and handed him his Pokemon back. She asked if he was alright, since he was bleeding and looked rather roughed up from the fight. Edgardo seemed to almost disregard her worries and ask her what was next for him.

> "Should I just quit? I mean... I’m not really proving anything by going on this journey other than that the fighting dojo is cool and should be on top, and I’m not even doing a good job at that, since I also seem to be disappointing nearly every opponent I fight..."
>
>

It was a strange question, especially one to be asking a Nurse Joy of all people. However, she did have an answer for him.

> "Well... if your current strength isn’t working out, how about trying to apply it differently? Maybe the problem isn’t your strength, but rather how you are using it."
>
>

That little comment from Nurse Joy seemed to click everything into place for Edgardo. It wasn't about hitting things with all his strength, it was about finding ways to use that strength cleverly. He didn't lack the strength, he lacked the focus to make it count. Happy with this answer, he hugged Nurse Joy and promised her hand in marriage before running back into the city, going to his hotel room and sleeping on it.

### **Pre-Day 3**

Edgardo woke up with new prespective. What better way to train than completely expose himself to only the toughest challenge he could take on at his level. Today, he would face the gym!

#### Cerulean City Gym

With no readiness to be accounted for, Edgardo walked inside the gym, and waited for whoever lead the establishment to make themselves known. Eventually, Misty showed herself to which Edgardo responded with a quick challenge! Of course, Misty accepted, and the battle was afoot.

Edgardo, knowing hye had something to counter the weakness of the gym, started with Oddish. Misty summons her Goldeen and the match begins. Goldeen quickly takes the wheel of the fight by attacking and running away back into the pool of the battlefield. Oddish, however, is not phased, and just like Edgardo, remains patient. Once its time to attack, Oddish uses Absorb to slowly widdle down the Goldeen. Eventually, Misty gets impatient and tries to go for a Horn Attack, which leads Goldeen open to a nasty Acid, knocking it out and leaving Edgardo with the lead. What Edgardo didn't know was that a devil was about to join the in the fight: Psyduck. Edgardo was at first confused, since Psyduck just stood there tanking Absorbs. However, this was all part of Misty's plan, for eventually, all that damage started giving Psyduck a headache, which manifested in a brutal Psychic that smashed poor Oddish into the walls of the gym, and knocked it out in one hit. Edgardo now only knew to fear the monstrosity he was witnessing.

Edgardo, with only one Pokemon left, of course chooses his partner Munchlax. Psyduck quickly makes some distace between the two with Water Pulse, theatning to either push Munchlax into the waters it clearly could not traverse, or confuse it and harm it further, all the while headaches were a constant threat. Edgardo realizes he needs a quick win here, so he instructs Munchlax to try and close the distance. Kung Fury is unsucessful, and only ends up killing time and health. Eventually, Edgardo gets desperate and begins to rely on Metronome. After a few unsucesful hits, Munchlax lands on Sinister Arrow Raid. Seeing the clear threat, Misty tell Psyduck to dive inside the pool. The arrows follow Psyduck, but are stopped by the pressure of the water, leaving Psyduck unscathed. Now, using the pool as a safeguard, Psyduck begins to launch more Water Pulse at Munchlax, to which the latter could only result to blocking. In an attempt to fully get him off the edge, Misty begins to introduce Ice Beam, eventually ending up freezing one of the Water Pulse into a perfectly solid ice sphere. Using Psychic, Psyduck now controlled the orb from a safe distance, bashing it into Munchlax and forcing him to block or theaten to be pushed at a much faster rate.

Munchlax is able to find his strength and punches through the orb, shattering it! This, however was the perfect distraction for Psyduck to sneak up on him. He fakes an attack and dives back into the pool, but this tricks Munchlax into countering the open air, and falling into the pool. This was a very harsh situation, as Munchlax's heavy pelt, and less-than-slim body made it difficult to avoid anything, while Psyduck was a perfectly adept swimmer. In one final desperate attempt to turn the tides, Edgardo called for Metronome, which yielded Grass Pledge. The potentially super-effective move missed Psyduck, but that wasn't the point! It hit the water, and the naturally reactive effect of the move, turned the pool into a walkable swamp. Psyduck was now too close to Munchlax, and did not take enough damage to trigger a headache, and thus, with the multiple attack boosts that Munchlax had gained hitting the floor and projectiles throughout the fight, the young critter finished the fight with an uppercut Power-Up Punch, sending Psyduck barreling back to the shore, landing Edgardo his very first gym badge: The Cascade Badge!

Edgardo was thrilled beyond comprehension, but knew his training couldn't lack for this one victory. He scurried to the Pokemon Center to tell his prospect wife the good news.

#### Pokemon Center

Once his Pokemon were healed, Edgardo was a bit lost. He wasn't sure what the next escalation in his training needed to be. And thus, he asked the wise Nurse Joy for help. She directed him to Pewter City, where there was not only another gym, but also a rookie tournament that Edgardo was eligible for! These two factors convinced the young boy, and he was off once more.

#### Route 4

Gligar Encounter Group

Run to Mt. Moon

See Geodude, get scared

Go to Route 3

#### Route 3

Cyan was an asshole and Edgardo did not understand. This, however, only made Edgardo was to battle him for he confused his passionate railing as fighting spirit. Cyan agrees to embarass him.

Munchlax tries to get some punches, Magnemite keeps missing and hitting Thundershock, but munchlax gets some scrapes in. Eventually, metronome gets Magnet bomb, to which Cyan introduces a quirk o0f magnemite to switch the repulsion. Metronome, very unlucky, lands on Magnet bomb again which makes Munchlax take more damage. Edgardo gets angry and tells Munchlax to rush before the magnets drop. Cyan, too cocky to notice lets Munchlax land a critical punch, knocking out Magnemite before the magnets caught Munchlax. Cyan recognizes that his pokemon went down first, and is promptly mad about it. Edgardo asks for his name, and Cyan responds annoyed. Edgardo disregards this interaction as Cyan heads to Pewter. Seeing as tha battle ate up the last of his time, Edgardo decided to camp out and finish his journey to Pewter in the morning.

### **Pre-Day 4**
