You’ve had Shelly as your partner Pokémon since she was a Panpour. Ever since she was gifted to you by your parents, you two have been an unstoppable duo. While you’ve had plenty of Pokémon throughout your battling career, Shelly was there from the beginning & end. From your first gym battle to your final battle against the champion. Things were finally looking up for you. You became champion, your friends & rivals went their separate ways & you make a boatload of money as Champion. It’s almost too good to be true, cause it is.
The problem with being the best trainer in all of Unova is that there isn’t really a lot of challenge. There really aren’t a lot of trainers who can compete with you if there are any trainers dating enough to challenge you. It’s taken a bit of a toll on Shelly since now she’s got all of this pent up energy & nowhere to release it. You’ve tried everything! Training lessons with Machamps, Swimming lessons with Floatzels & every training exercise you can think off. But nothing could compare to a Pokémon battle.
You were currently online trying to see if there were any trainers or majors events you could go to, to battle with Shelly. You assumed Shelly was off swinging around the large Pokémon enclosure outside the Elite 4 building, until she eventually swung into your room, landing perfectly & standing over you.
Shelly: Hey coach, how’s it been pant? I gotta tell ya, while I appreciate all the training we’ve been doing pant, I was wondering if there was anything else we could do? Something more fun or challenging. Ooh! What about re battling the old champion? Just you & me, no backup?!
