'''Shingo''' (Japanese: '''シンゴ''' ''Shingo'') is a [[character of the day]] who appeared in ''[[EP140|Wired For Battle!]]''.

He is the student of a great [[Pokémon Trainer]] that was once an equal of the [[Elite Four]], [[Muramasa]]. Shingo maintained a laptop database on all other Pokémon Trainers who were registered with the [[Pokémon League]].  

Shingo saw most {{pkmn|battle}}s as a waste of time, assuming he could predict the outcome of any battle by analyzing the data on his database. {{TRT}} attempted to steal it, but his Scizor swiftly defeated all five of their Pokémon, prompting {{Ash}} to convince him once again to battle him by pointing out that data couldn't predict how the battle would affect the Trainer.

In the subsequent battle, Shingo's Scizor was pitted against [[Ash's Heracross]], Heracross possessing sufficient speed and defensive abilities to oppose Scizor. Although initially Shingo's database helped him calculate what attack would work best against Heracross, when Ash began to use more unorthodox strategies, such as telling Heracross to wait for Scizor to attack it rather than simply trying to attack itself, Shingo found himself unable to look at the computer and the battle at the same time. After Scizor was defeated, Shingo realized that he needed to rethink his fighting strategy and abandoned his database project.

|desc='''Blade''' (Japanese: '''ブレード''' ''Blade'') is Shingo's {{p|Scizor}}. It first appeared when {{TRT}} had stolen his laptop. He used Blade to get it back and sent Team Rocket blasting off. It then battled against [[Ash's Heracross]] and proved to be a strong opponent, taking away nearly half of Heracross's [[Hit Points]] with a single Quick Attack, as seen on Shingo's laptop. However, in the end, Heracross was able to overpower Blade and win the battle.

Blade's known moves are {{m|Quick Attack}}, {{m|Metal Claw}}, {{m|Agility}}, and {{m|False Swipe}}.}}
