Flashback time!!

Etho stood in the arena, looking around at the crowd. There were so many of them. There always were, but it felt like more than usual. Etho was brought out of his thoughts by the announcer calling the trainer he'd be fighting onto the arena.
His name is Jared, apparently. Etho doesn't like the look on his face. "So, Eh-tho, you ready for this?" he asks. "...It's Etho. And yeah. 'Course I am." Etho replies. "Which is why I think we should get started. Vanillish, go." he continues, releasing his Vanillish from its Pokéball.
"Oh my god, a Vanillish? What are you, a 12 year old girl?" Jared laughs. Etho narrows his eyes. Jared releases his first Pokémon. "A Salazzle? Really? What are you, an incel who peaked in high school?" Etho laughs.
