(Disregarding any previous story developments because fucky you, I just got hit by inspiration)
Connor barged into the Pewter Gym, just having restored his Pokemon at the Pokemon Center. Despite not training them whatsoever, he felt as though he were ready to take on Brock, the very first Gym Leader. That asshole Null did it, why couldn't he?
"Brock? BROCK?!?! Where are you? Are you ignoring me? Did Null tell you to ignore me?" Connor was making quite a scene; the Gym Trainers all paused and stared at him while he angrily stormed towards the back of the Gym.
"No need for yelling, I'm right here." Brock, a tall teenager with spiky hair, rose from his seat at the end of the Gym. While he was caught off guard by Connor's entrance, it was hardly unusual. He was the first Gym Leader, after all, and he was used to seeing hotheaded rookie Trainers barge into his Gym, all energy and passion and no tact.
"Well, then, Brock. I challenge you to a battle!" Connor huffed as he reached Brock, the combination of his physique and his rage taking its toll on his lungs. "I'm Connor of Pallet Town. But you probably know me from my controversial, cynical, and darkly humorous posts on various forums."
"Uh, no, I'm afraid I don't." Brock was a bit puzzled, but went on ahead. "But you're from Pallet Town, huh? We get a lot of Trainers from there! In fact, I just had a challenger from there recently! Maybe you know him. His name was Noel or something else with an N and he had a Wartortle-"
"STOP TALKING ABOUT NULL!! WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ME NOW!! AND I CHALLENGE YOU TO A BATTLE!!!" Connor shrieked.
Brock stepped back in alarm; he certainly hadn't expected the kid to explode the way he did. Maybe he and that Null guy were rivals? Such a thing wasn't uncommon; quite the opposite, really. Internally, he shrugged; he really didn't care about the kid's backstory, he just wanted to finish this battle up quickly so he could go home. This Connor guy had come at a really inconvenient time, right before closing. Most Trainers would have just waited until the next day, using the extra time to prepare for the battle and train their Pokemon.
"Alright, alright, I get it. Let's get this going, shall we?" Brock stepped back, gesturing for Connor to do the same as a referee took his position off to the side. "Geodude, I choose you!"
