Step 2 | Video/Action for Route 34

[The audio is switched on a few seconds before the video is, so it starts with a lot of rustling sounds as Evan attempts to get his 'Gear out of his pack.]

Ah come on, what are you stuck on now? The one time she does something in--got it!

[As soon as the video is stabilized, it shows a Torchic and a Rattata currently...well, you could call it 'battling', but it seems more like the bird is being chased around the small clearing.]

C'mon, you're supposed to evolve already. Just...use Ember or something and finish it off...STOP RUNNING.

[And then the 'Gear is turned towards Evan.]

She's still afraid to fight other Pokémon...if they fight back, it's even worse. How do I make her get over it?

Just put her in a situation where she has to fight or die. And make it clear you're not going to bail her out.

[Well, or 'get seriously injured' because apparently no one actually dies here. ...Does that apply to the Pokemon too? She's not sure.]

That's what I'm trying to do. That's why we're outside right now.

It's turning into more of a 'fight or flee' situation though...

If you're trying that and it's not working, maybe you should just get rid of it and find one that IS willing to fight.

Or get one of your other ones to really corner it so it can't run.
