Echo walked in on another trainer’s battle and saw them win. When they were done, he went up to Bugsy and challenged her. He lost badly to Scyther, and he decided to go out and train.
While out training, he went ahead and went into the Ilex Forest. It was a little blocked off, but he cut down trees with his Honedge. Slamming into them, he cut down tree after tree, until he came to one that was already cut down. Slowly, he approached it, wondering what cut it down, but then, it popped out of the ground and floated towards him. He threw a Pokéball out of fear towards it, and it somehow caught first try.
Echo said, “Cool! A Phantump! Bet you didn’t expect that, huh, Honedge?”
Honedge tried to cut down another tree in agreement, but the tree attacked it, and Echo freaked out and ran from the forest with Honedge from the wild Trevenant. “That thing is insane,” he said, “We shouldn’t have even gone in there, but at least we got a new friend.”
Echo went to the Pokémon Center to heal up, and once he was done, he sat down at a chair and released both his Pokémon to play with them.
