Trainer Jyu Xyiu was born into a clan of "fox-using" Pokemon Trainers. Though her home region is that of Hoenn, she left for the Sinnoh region to continue her studies on Pokemon. In Sinnoh, she happen to come across a very clumsy Buneary stealing food from a kiosk.

She playfully caught the Buneary and lightly punished her for her "wrong-doing" but decided to pay for the food to give to the Buneary. The Buneary follows Jyu on her studies on different habitats on the wide array of pokemon.

On the side, Jyu's clan are martial artists, making her take on daily routines before her studies. The Buneary precociously imitate Jyu's action until it was caught. Jyu laughed finding Buneary trying to pull off her forms "cute" and she show the Buneary how to properly maintain stances while performing the physical fighting attacks. The Buneary decides to tag along Jyu where she went from the Sinnoh region, Johto region, Kanto and returning to Hoenn.

Her clan's elders see that she has learned very well and give her gear to start her own pokemon journey. On choosing her Pokemon, the Buneary clumsily fell on scene causing a large commotion and landing in place of where Jyu was going to pick her "starter". Jyu smiled as asks the Buneary she wanted Jyu to be her Pokemon trainer. The Buneary hops in excitement and Jyu captures the Buneary with her pokeball.

Jyu see her Elders off as she wander the regions capturing and studying the newer pokemon she discover. The Buneary continues to train under Jyu more like a martial artist than a pokemon itself. Jyu spends months with her new friend in training and sparring and gave the Buneary the name "Ti Long" (Kicking Dragon).

Still a clumsy rabbit, Ti Long travels alongside Jyu taking on many Pokemon Trainers, exercising forms, and studying new habitats.

Jyu and her pokemon come across the Lavender Town trainer, Dio, and his pokemon. He almost lost a close battle due to that dangerous Lopunny that Jyu had. He luckily defeated Ti Long with his Drowzee.

Dio thought Jyu was a high-ranked trainer but was surprised that she's more of a researcher than your everyday trainer.

Dio: You fooled me with the way your Lopunny took out 5 of my 6 best. (Ti Long had little struggle taking down Ryujin (Charizard), Soldier (Raichu), Queen (Nidoqueen), Monkey Fist (Primeape), Levi (Gyarados))

Jyu explained that her clan are Pokemon Trainers but it's more ceremonial such as organizing big events, etc. He compliments Ti Long and Jyu on a difficult battle.

Dio: I'm just lucky you had one. I couldn't bare to think fighting you if you had a full set.

Jyu: Laugh. ....Ti Long is still training. She went overboard. I hope your pokemon are okay. You should get them to the Pokemon Center 20 meters from here. Point to the left. Ti Long exert herself a lot. I just hope their injuries aren't permanent.

Dio: To Ti Long. ....I'll like to have a rematch with you personally.

Ti Long does a formal bow but does a "bring it" gesture before almost tripping over her ear.

Dio: This tough guy. To Jyu. Well, I'll catch you later?

Jyu: Smile. Are you saying you want to see me again?

Dio: Uh...yea. You know. It's cool meeting other trainers. That's the whole point of these Pokemon and traveling. Hehe.

Jyu: We'll see you around....

Dio: Dio. Put out right hand to shake her hand.

Jyu: Lightly bow to him. Nice to meet you, Dio. I'm Jyu Xyiu. But you can call me Jyu.

Dio: Nice to meet you Jyu....and the...Kung Fu Lopunny. Is kicked in the shin lightly by Ti Long. Ow!

Jyu: Ti Long. Behave. I think she likes you.

Dio: Or just wants to beat me up.

Jyu: She's still practicing.

Dio: Okay...uhmm...Center's that way, right? Point in the direction Jyu brought up earlier.

Jyu: Yes.

Dio: See ya later. Run off as he wave at them.

Jyu: He seems nice.

Ti Long chirp a bit.

Jyu: Me? No. He is determined though. That's pretty cool. Other trainers give up after their first pokemon is defeated.
