Story:

It had been two weeks since Ditto left Littleroot Town with her first Pokemon, Blaze the Torchic. Right now, they were heading through Route 102, making their way to Rustboro City. Blaze had gotten a lot stronger since then due to all the training with wild Pokemon he's been battling, leveling up at the same time. Blaze was also coming out of his timid state, becoming braver after each win. Ditto had a feeling that with a couple more battle sessions, Blaze would evolve into a Combusken, which was one step closer to becoming Blaziken, whom Ditto had loved since she was a little girl and played with her father's Blaziken, who cared for her while her father worked. Ditto was determined to honor his Blaziken by training and caring for one herself.

While they were walking, a shady looking Trainer emerged, holding up a Pokeball in one hand and a guitar in the other, looking ready to battle her. At the moment, Ditto only had Blaze and a Poochyena, but he was in need of more training. But Ditto knew that Blaze would be powerful enough to handle this battle on his own and gain the experience he needed to evolve.

"Hey, sweetheart," the Trainer said slyly, creeping Ditto out. "The name's Frances. You up for a battle?"

Blaze suddenly leaped from his perch on Ditto's shoulder and stood defensively in front of his Trainer, ruffling his feathers.

"Tor! Torchic chic!"

Ditto smiled. "I suppose we are! Bring it on!"

Frances chuckled and threw the Pokeball. "Alright Voltorb! Time to rock their world!"

The Ball Pokemon exploded from its Pokeball, sparking with electricity, and landed in front of Torchic, who was bristling with energy. The battle commenced.

After a tense 10 minutes, quite a few Embers, Rollouts, Paralyze Heals, and Potions, Voltorb was down for the count and Blaze was standing proudly, enjoying his victory.

"Voltooorb," the Voltorb groaned weakly before Frances returned it to its Pokeball.

"Not again!!" he cried angrily, stomping his foot on the ground. "I can't believe that worthless Voltorb lost again! Why did I ever capture it!"

"Hey!" Ditto said, appalled by his attitude. "It tried its best and I believe it did pretty well at holding its own against a Fire-type."
"Yeah, who asked you?" Frances snarled, suddenly getting up close and personal to her, fists clenching. Ditto involuntarily stepped back, feeling slightly intimidated.

"Ow!" Frances yelped as he was suddenly pelted with an Ember to the back of his head. He turned around and glared at the small Torchic behind him. Blaze was jumping up and down, squawking angrily, not liking how Frances was treating his friend. "Why you litte..." he didn't get any further as Blaze's body suddenly was enveloped in a pure white energy.

"What's going on?" Frances cried.
Ditto gasped, awed by the spectacle. "He's...evolving!"

Sure enough, Blaze's tiny Torchic form started to grow taller, his head feathers becoming bigger. His wings elongated and sprouted claws as his legs and feet thickened, becoming more powerful. The light vanished and a robust Combusken stood in the place of the Torchic.

"Combusken!" Blaze shrieked, wielding his dagger-like claws at Frances, daring him to make another threat towards Ditto.
"I think it's best you leave," Ditto told him, nodding at Blaze, "because I don't think Blaze will give you a warning before he starts attacking."
Frances gulped and took another glance at Blaze, who grinned, his eyes sparking with fierce determination. "Ugh, whatever!" He turned to run until he felt someone grab hold of his arm. He looked back and saw that it was Ditto.

"One more thing," she said, pointing at the Pokeball Voltorb was being kept in. "Treat your Pokemon with more respect or they might just turn on you. I hear Voltorbs have a nasty habit of exploding when angered and I'm pretty sure you don't want that to happen, now do you?"

Frances looked petrified at the thought of being blown up by his partner Pokemon and quickly shook his head. "N-no! Alright! I promise I'll take care of it better and give it more respect. I'm sorry for everything! Now please, let me go?"

Ditto chuckled and released him. Frances ran off at a speed that would rival a Rapidash. Ditto then turned to her newly evolved partner, spreading her arms wide with a big smile. Blaze immediately walked into her embrace, wrapping his arms around her as she hugged him tightly and lovingly.

"You were awesome, Blaze! I'm so happy you taught that jerk a lesson and evolved! Way to go!"
"Busken, Combusken!"

Ditto looked down at the ground, where the bandanna that used to be tied around Blaze's neck was lying. She picked it up, folded it. and then tied it around Blaze's forehead, giving him the appearance of wearing a Tenugui.

"A strong Pokemon that uses martial art moves like you needs to look the part!" Ditto told him, patting his head. "And you totally look awesome with a Tenugui!"

Blaze beamed at this and hugged Ditto again.
"Now, what do you say we continue on training?"
Blaze nodded. "Ken ken, Combusken!" He and Ditto continued walking.
"And who knows, we might catch more team members on the way!!"
