Riley and his friends are moving ever closer to Olivine City and the next Johto League gym. But today, their route leads them straight to a place called Whitestone.

Marina: They say that Whitestone is one of the most historic sites in the whole Johto region.

Riley: What's so famous about Whitestone?

Marina: It's a small city with buildings made entirely out of white stone.

Jimmy: Well, there it is, guys!

Karen: It's beautiful. I can see why they call it Whitestone.

Marina: Yep. Whitestone sure lives up to its name. As our heroes talk, Team Rocket spies from behind.

Jessie: So, it seems they're headed for Whitestone. It certainly is beautiful.

Meowth: It looks like all of dem buildings is made out of marble. Dat's ritzy!

Jessie: I just adore marble! I love everything made of it! I love marble bathtubs, marble tables, marble statues! (sighs) Everything!

James: I never understood why grandpa-pa's mansion was made of marble, it was like a mausoleum with lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Maybe they use marble because it's...marbleous! Jessie and Meowth both smack him.

Jessie and Meowth: Bad joke, James.

James: Sorry.

Meanwhile our heroes make their way through the city.

Marina: Whitestone may look like it's made of marble, but it's not. Centuries ago, people painted everything white and they've kept doing so for generations. Which makes sense since paint's a lot cheaper than marble is, huh?

Karen: Well, even if it's not real marble, it's still quite a sight.

???: Hey!

Everyone raises their heads and when they look forward, they see a woman yelling at some Pokemon who are vandalizing her house by painting it with their tails.

Woman: What are you doing to my nice, white wall?!
