Maybe further hinted at when she proves her mettle in battle against the evil team when they show up early on and she runs 'em off.
Like maybe as early as when you get your Starter after battling the Rival, and you have to face off against a Grunt or something.
It would actually be kinda neat if an evil team makes their appearance at the very beginning, y'know?
