Riley and his Pokémon were in the middle of a training session in preparation with Falkner, the Violet City gym leader. Suddenly, he runs into a wild Sneasel which he is intent on catching.

Then Team Rocket appears and tries to steal it, but our heroes defeat them and Riley manages to catch Sneasel. Now, with a new Pokémon in tow, will Riley win against Falkner and get his first badge?

Currently, Riley stood in the Violet City Gym ready to battle Falkner one more.

Falkner: I see. I can tell just by looking at you that you've gotten stronger a bit. I can only assume you've thrown yourself into some intense training.

Riley: You bet. And now, I'm gonna win this time and get that badge.

Referee: The Gym battle between Riley from New Bark Town and Falkner, the Gym Leader will now begin. Each side will have the use of three Pokémon and the battle will be over when all of either sides Pokémon are unable to battle. Also, only the challenger will be allowed to substitute Pokémon.

Marina: This is it. I hope all that training paid off.

Jimmy: Yeah.

Marina: He needs all our support. So come out everyone! She called out her Pokémon.

Croconaw: Croc!

Little Miss: Mis.

Little Miss: Mis

Marina: Everyone, let's cheer for Riley as best we can. Ya with me?! They all agree. Riley, we've got your back all the way! Marina and her Pokémon cheer for him.

Riley: Thanks for the confidence booster. Now I can't lose.

Falkner: Dodrio, I choose you! Dodrio materializes.

Riley: Dodrio first? Okay. Let's go, Cyndaquil. Cyndaquil materializes.

Referee: Let the battle begin!

Riley: Let's start off right! Use Quick Attack! Cyndaquil charges at quick speed.

Falkner: Your Pokemon is fast but mine are faster. Show them, Dodrio, use Drill Peck! Dodrio prepares to attack.

Riley: Cyndaquil, jumps onto Dodrio's back. Cyndaquil jumped, avoiding Dodrio's attack and lands on its back.

Falkner: I see. You were just building up speed. Dodrio, shake it off! Dodrio tries to get Cybdaquil, but it was having trouble.

Riley: Don't let go, Cyndaquil! Use Ember! Cyndaquil fires directly into Dodrio's faces.

Marina: A direct hit!

Jimmy: Yeah. That must've done some damage.

Riley: Nice one, Cyndaquil!

Cyndaquil: Cynda!
