PS13/EPS01: A 1st Trial of the Fighting Dojo!
PS13/EPS01's Documented "Plot"
After storing his Partner Drizzile & Toxel (again) into his Pokemon Storage System, Michael arrived on the Isle of Armor, where a doctor was kind enough to update his Rotom Phone with the addition of the Isle of Armor Pokedex.
Coming across a gentleman who chose to take a pass from joining a dojo led to Michael seeing a familiar face that he met once at Wedgehurst station (when Slowpoke was caught), that familiar face introduced himself as Avery (his game counterpart). From what Avery said, Michael noticed that he might end up taking someone else's place in joining said dojo (even though the gentleman said he could).
Meeting up with Avery outside, Michael gets to see his 1st sight of the Isle of Armor, which looked wonderful. After winning a battle against Avery, Michael noticed from Avery (after he ran off) that he doesn't want him to be at the dojo but hearing that Champion Leon trained at that dojo before had made Michael decided to try out a chance in training there.
Arriving at the dojo, Michael saw the shocked look on Avery's face (upon his arrival) then introduced himself to Honey (her game counterpart). Although Michael was impressed to learn about Avery aiming to be a Gym Leader, he got unimpressed from noticing how Avery covered up a little lie from Honey + he gave Michael a little warning about keeping quiet about it (which was unimpressed also).
After wondering about a sense of an unusual appearance (maybe from being watched), Michael proceeded into the dojo where Honey introduced him to the students then her son Hyde (his game counterpart) apparently gave Michael an Exp. Charm, which shall always lead to increased Exp. Points.
After meeting Master Mustard (his game counterpart) & winning a battle against him, Michael noticed that he might be aware of a certain misunderstanding but Mustard was happy that Michael joined them so he gave the young Gym Challenger his own Dojo Uniform (which shall be worn during his training on the Isle of Armor). Mustard informs everyone of a secret armor of their dojo, which shall be received by the student who clears 3 trials.
The 1st trial ended up starting with chasing 3 fast Slowpoke & defeating them to get back Avery's dojo uniform, which Michael ended up clearing (thanks to his own Slowpoke).
Afterwards, Honey allowed Michael to choose 1 of 2 specially-raised Kanto Starter Pokemon, Bulbasaur or Squirtle. A very grateful Michael had chosen Bulbasaur (due to already having a Water-Type starter as his partner) & is looking forward to having a Gigantamax Venasaur on his team. With the 2nd trial nearly about to start with searching for Max Mushrooms to make Max Soup, Michael thanked Honey for his Bulbasaur while she has confirmed to take Squirtle in her own care + she was kind enough to introduce the Armorite Ore-collecting student.
Michael decides to take a small break to have Slowpoke rest up for its recent hard work as the young Gym Challenger shall soon proceed with training at the Isle of Armor's Dojo.
To Be Continued
(Next: PS14/EPS02)
Note: As of PS13/EPS01 = Due to an Exp. Charm being obtained from the Isle of Armor (+ remaining PERMANENTLY ON), rotating all Pokemon friends (even the Starter/Partner Pokemon itself) is needed for training properly by increased Exp. Points!
Lesson Note = Isle of Armor has been allowed (up to maybe 4 "Expansion Pass Special" episodes) AFTER 3rd Gym Battle got finished, it was supposed to have been after PS10 however, if it weren't for an unexplained change of plans while Galarian Michael was still in the Wild Area, which forced it to be moved after PS12.
