* LethalChef: A downplayed example. She can prepare canned and frozen food just fine, but would often confuse or add too many spices in her youth. She's passable now, but dislikes cooking from all of the terrible foods that she's had to eat.

* AfraidOfTheirOwnStrength: He apparently became this after an implied incident left him without a home.

** Also, when the trio and their Pokémon are suddenly weakened after they land in a den of Primeape, he fights off the weakness by shocking himself to concentrate on the pain instead and [[CurbStompBattle mercilessly dispatches the Pokémon one by one]] [[SmokeOut amid a cloud of smoke]]. He even uses a [[StaticStunGun Zap Cap]] on a Primeape [[KickThemWhileTheyreDown when it was already glued to the ground and unable to move]].
