imean it's not a bad idea by any means, just it doesn't have to be the Blitz Pit. Or a fighting arena. It could be something else entirely that would require some level of fighting experience.

for example what if he's inspired by (Sonic Heroes styled) teams of crime-fighters and wants in on that action, but gets beat down when he tries on his own. Let's say the guy who sees and trains him used to have his own team, but they split for unknown reasons that could be revealed at a later date?

You don't have to go with that idea but that's just an example of how you can go about it--plus give the trainer some depth too.
