Pokémon White
Episode 10: Running with Pinwheels
Emile wanted to catch a Petilil solely to show off the in-game trade with NPC Dye in Nacrene City. Searching Pinwheel Forest, he finally found one at Level 14. Ottawa immediately weakened it with her last Razor Shell attack and then fell to a Sleep Powder, then Emile threw a Heal Ball that succeeded in catching her and gave her a nickname.
Emile withdrew her from the PC, spared time to check her stats, and then traded her to Dye for her Cottonee, Fluffee.
Episode 58: Cruisin' Round Towns
In Nacrene City, Emile battled against Dye with Mean Leaf, now grown into a Level 65 Lilligant, with Hex. It continuously healed itself with Synthesis, allowing him plenty of time to go over the multiple bios that were obtainable at this point.
This was the first instance in the Pokémon series of a trainer battle with a previously traded Pokémon.
