Ryu: To say Spenser having Suicune was a shock is an understatement.

Ryu Zoro and Ruby were currently at a Pokémon Center, healing their Pokémon as per usual.

Zoro: Yeah, but shockingly that wasn't the most amazing thing we saw. Mudkip evolved into Marshtomp, and right after you showed how strong Electivire is.

Ryu: Yeah, he's definitely making his way up there in power. Even Blade and Nova need to ramp up their training.

Zoro: Anyway, speaking of evolved Pokémon, what do you plan to do with Eevee?

Ryu: Pfft, you expect me to choose?

Ruby: Huh?

Ryu: I'm letting Eevee chose what he want to evolve into. He does really want to gain power like the way my other Pokémon have, but hasn't found the right path.

Zoro: Really?

Ryu: He'll evolve when he's ready.

Right then, Nurse Joy came out with the group's Pokémon.

Nurse Joy: Here we are! All of your Pokémon are in top shape now!

They took their Pokeballs, as Blade and Nova immediately came out of their Balls.

Ryu: You both REALLY hate being stuck in those.

???: Man, this is a nice coincidence.

Everyone turned, seeing a familiar Trainer.

Ryu: Gary!

Gary: Long time no see guys! Zoro, I didn't know you'd be traveling with these two.

Zoro: Someone's gotta keep an eye on these two.

Ryu: Oh please you nearly got us killed cause of your horrible sense of direction!!

Gary: I don't doubt that. How are you doing with the Battle Frontier.

Ryu: It's going great. I've got 2 more Symbols before I've beaten the whole thing.

Gary: Sounds like you've been working.

Ruby: What about you? After the party for Ryu's victory, Professor Oak said you went off to train.

Gary: I did. Ryu isn't the only one who wants to prepare for a chance to face the Elite Four and Champion you know.

Ryu: So I'm guessing that means-

Gary: I'm planning on winning the Silver Conference in Johto.

Zoro: Shooting big aren't you?

Gary: Trust me, I know. Lance is also the Champion there, so I realize I'll already have to compete with a total monster.

Ryu: I mean hey, I won't be competing so you have a decent shot.

Ruby: Cocky.

Gary: Very funny! Like gramps said, I've been training!!

Ryu: Oh you know your track record against me!

Gary: Fine then, once I heal my Pokémon, let's save a Battle!!

Ryu: You're on!!

Zoro: Well that escalated quickly.

Ruby: Man, now I wanna battle too!

TIME SKIP!!

After Gary's Pokémon were healed, he and Ryu were in the back where a battle field was ready.

Gary: Let's make it a one on one.

Ryu: Fine by me.

Ryu grabbed an Ultra Ball with a smirk, as Gary grabbed a Pokeball in response.
