Synopsis
Tom and Porygon head down Route 43 to the next town over, where Tom gripes about having so much ahead of him in his journey yet, and not having a Pokemon of his own. He and Porygon encounter a Machop, where Porygon offers to help Tom catch him. After a brief scuffle with Porygon that sees the Machop land a blow to Tom's groin, Tom manages to capture the Machop in a Pokeball. With Porygon now unable to continue fighting, Tom helps it get moving again as they continue down the road.
