Tough Training for Tepig! is the second chapter of Pokemon Battle Destinies.

Plot
After a loss to Shane and his Oshawott, Duncan and Tepig are seen training and honing their skills in a grassy meadow. Tepig uses Flame Charge to maneuver throughout the field in order to gain faster speed, but crashes on a log where a Mareep is asleep and falls into a river. Duncan sends out Murkrow to help retrieve Tepig and saves him.

The two then laid down under a tree where they were exhausted from training which made a confused Duncan angry and throw a rock. He suddenly heard a scream and runs towared the bushes. Out of nowhere, a girl shows up and smacks him on the head. Her Snivy does the same to Tepig who headbutts in retaliation.

After much apologizing and understanding, the girl named Kathrine decides to help him train hard by making Tepig focus on its speed and control of Flame Charge. Duncan and Tepig manage to overcome this as the Fire Pig's speed increased and had Flame Charge no longer skid, but instead keep itself from falling and finally mastered its fire-type attacks.

Then Kathrine decides to join him on their journey towards the Unova League as they head out!
