Koji: Difference between revisions

He was a brash young {{pkmn|Trainer}} who wanted a {{p|Cyndaquil}}, and ended up competing with {{Ash}} to catch one in a forest. Even though Ash caught one first, Koji pressured Ash into a {{pkmn|battle}} with the prize being the [[Ash's Quilava|Cyndaquil]] he already captured. Against {{an|Brock}}'s better judgment, Ash accepted the challenge and had Cyndaquil battle Koji's {{p|Sandslash}}. During the battle Koji was shown to be a confident Trainer with a powerful Pokémon. He is not a kind Trainer, and pressured his Sandslash to continue the battle even though it was exhausted. He also uses some underhanded tactics.

Despite having a disadvantage, Cyndaquil was able to use its speed and {{m|Tackle}} attack to defeat the Sandslash. Koji then decided to try to steal Cyndaquil anyway in a net, only to get badly burned when it used a {{m|Flamethrower}} at him, causing him to run away. As he fled, Brock yells after him that he should train himself before training any more Pokémon.

|desc={{p|Sandslash}} is Koji's only known Pokémon. He uses it in his attempt to catch a wild Cyndaquil that he found: first to try and stop Ash from catching the Cyndaquil, and later to battle the Cyndaquil once Ash had caught it. In the battle, Sandslash is shown to be very agile and powerful, but it is ultimately defeated by Cyndaquil's {{m|Tackle}} attack after getting stuck in a tree. During the battle, {{an|Brock}} notes that Sandslash's {{m|Slash}} attack had "amazing destructive power"; Koji mentions that Sandslash's best move was {{m|Fury Swipes}}.
