As the young trainer approached Pewter City, he was stopped.
"Hold it! If you want to enter the city you have to battle me!" A female trainer jumped out. She had a blue ombré hoodie on and a pink undershirt. Her short brown hair covered the Synergy Stone on her right ear. "Where ya from? Hoenn, Johto?" She asked. The boy started to answer, but the girl interrupted. "It doesn't matter! What does matter is that I'm gonna beat cha! Pikachu, go!" A yellow mouse Pokémon jumped from behind her. "Pika pika!" It cried. The boy sent out a Kirlia and the battle began. The girl face palmed. "Oh! I forgot! My name is Meeka! I figured you would want to know the name of your worst nightmare." She pulled out a camera and began filming the battle. Oddly, she wasn't really giving Pikachu orders. Pikachu was just attacking.
"Hey, that's not fair! Pikachu can't just attack whenever it wants!" The boy shouted. Meeka shrugged. "In Ferrum it's the only way to battle."
"We aren't in Ferrum!"
"Oh! Look! Your Kirlia fainted! Tough luck!" Sure enough, Kirlia was unable to battle.
"I've got other Pokémon." He sent out a Grovyle and a Mightyena.
"That's fine, cause Pikachu can take them both! Synergy Burst!" At those words, Pikachu was surrounded by energy. It lifted up Grovyle and punched it into Mightyena, causing them both to faint.
"Yay!" Cried Meeka. "And I've got it all on video!"
"Are you working for somebody?" The boy asked.
Meeka didn't answer.

After getting her reward money, Meeka had made two stops. One at the candy store and another at the comic book store. She let her Pokémon have a lick of her lollipop as she settled down to read.
