[Oooh boy, a kid who wants to battle? Start 'em early, that's right! Stoutland and Gurdurr will totally hang with you, Emboar, since they know the routine.]

You're free to! Even if it's just against your own Pokémon, you know, for training and all! I mean, it'll be better if you battle someone else but... You know, there's nothing wrong with going solo!
