Last time, our heroes finally reached Goldenrod City where Riley battled Whitney, the Goldenrod Gym leader, for a Johto League Plain Badge. But Miltank proved to be unbeatable. And now, a defeated Riley must choose between rematch, or retreat.
Our heroes find ourselves in Goldenrod's Pokemon Center, just as the treatment light goes off, indicating that Riley's Pokemon are recovering after a successful treatment.
Marina: Are my brothers Pokemon gonna be okay, Nurse Joy?
Nurse Joy: Don't worry. All they need is a goodnight's sleep and they'll be fine tomorrow.
Marina: Thank you.
Nurse Joy: A lot of Whitney's challengers wind up here with me. Your brother should be very happy. Chinchou and Sneasel are in better shape than most of our other patients.
Jimmy: I'm happy to hear that, but Riley on the other hand.... They all look and spot Riley looking a bit depressed. The others walk over and try to comfort him.
Karen: You gave it your best, Riley.
Riley: Not enough though. He said feeling down.
Jimmy: Come on. Don't let this one loss set you back. Sure Whitney's tough, but that'll make it even more better when you beat her.
Riley: Doubt it. Maybe this is the end. Maybe I should just give up and head back to Newbark Town.
Marina: Don't say that, Riley!
Nurse Joy: Sometimes Pokemon aren't the only ones who need time to recover from an especially tough match. Trainers need time to recover, too.
Jimmy: Right! After some good food and a goodnight's sleep, you might feel different tomorrow.
Riley: I guess.
Jimmy, Marina & Karen: 💧
The next day, Riley was reunited with his Pokémon, but he was still a bit depressed. His Pokémon tried to cheer him up however.
Jimmy: This is bad.
Marina: I know. I've never seen him like this before.
Karen: Every trainer goes through these kind of things on their journey. Soon, a familiar voice is heard.
Whitney: Good morning! Everyone turns to see it's Whitney.
Whitney: Hi!
Marina: Hi, Whitney!
Whitney: I came to see how all the Pokemon are doing after yesterday's big battle.
Cyndaquil: Cynda! (We're all better)
Whitney: Cyndaquil! She picks up Cyndaquil. I have a special place I want to show you that I think you're gonna love! She starts to head to the exit. Come on, everybody! Follow me!
