Leaving the Gym,Pink heads to the Poke center for some healing and shopping.When she about to leave the city Bi walks up to her.
Bi: hey Pink did you just leave the gym?
Pink:yeah check this out,(shows Bi the Quake Badge)
Bi:Whoooooa! That's the Driftveil gym badge! Niceness! That's so awesome!! Oh, no, no! I'm just admiring! I'm a Trainer too, you know! And at times like this, we battle!
Pink: ok then.

Bi: It's been a while since I had a Pokémon battle with you,Pink but you've gotten REALLY strong! I'm still not that strong, so I can't put it into words all that well, but... I think you really understand the feelings of your Pokémon, Pink.Well I'm off to the next city bye (leaves)
So Pink walks through Rt. 6 training with her pokemon. She then reaches a cave but a electric web blocks the entrance.
Clay: Kept me waiting! (Clay walks up.) This is a nest for an electric Pokémon called Galvantula. Why they made a nest 'round these parts, I haven't a clue... But people are worried about it, so as a gym leader, I've gotta do something! Go! Krokorok!! (Krokorok comes out and charges the web, making it turn to dust.) I still ain't sure just how able ya are, but... Think ya wanna go somewhere, and ya can go anywhere. Think ya wanna do somethin', and ya can, anytime. And it's alright to do what ya like, y'know? The only limit... is yerself! (leaves)
Pink: Thanks Clay (Enters the cave)
The moment she enters however when she is ambused by two white haired ninjas.
Pink: what the...
"come"
Then they drag her futher into the cave,where N stands nearby.
"Go with Lord N."(The two vanish into thin air.)
Pink:Who the heak was that N!!
N:Those men you just saw were two of the Shadow Triad. They're members of Team Plasma assembled by Ghetsis. By the way, it appears it was they who set up the Galvantula nest at the entrance to this cave. Chargestone Cave, This is a nice place. Electrical equations are put in practice, and it has connections to Pokémon.Were it not for the human visitors, it would be an ideal locale for me. Now then, you have been chosen.Do you find this surprising? 
Pink:For what may i ask
N: I have spoken of you all to Ghetsis. And through the Shadow Triad, we have investigated you. Cheren is searching out an ideal he calls strength... And Bianca believes in a truth,that not everyone can grow stronger. You have not settled upon either. A neutral entity, so to speak... And that would seem to be a positive quality. Team Plasma members await you ahead. Ghetsis will test how much of a Pokémon Trainer you truly are.(leaves)
Pink: I wonder what they testing me for. Oh well onward.
Pink waks further through the cave where she sopts Bi and Prof Juni studing a floating stone.
Pink:hi you guys
Bianca: Hey, White, did you know? These floating rocks move when you push them. Isn't that right, Professor?
Juniper: Hi there! You doing well, Pink! As ever, this place seems filled to the brim with that electricity Pokémon love! And there are these stones, floating by means of electricity repelling against itself Of course, not all stones can be pushed. As for why I'm here, my father asked me to look into a gear-like Pokémon called Klink. I look into the origin of Pokémon, the era when they were born... though working the behest of others is a bit annoying... Of course, though, I enjoy investigating what I'm interested in! 
This cave has been here since long, long ago, yet  I haven't found even a scrap of data proving Klink even existed prior to 100 years ago. Yes! Klink abruptly originated 100 years ago. That must be it! Pokémon... where'd they come from? And where are they headed? If we could know those things, we could get along so much better. That is what I believe!
Bianca: Heyyy, Pink! Pokémon really are wondrous, aren't they?! Why would these amazing little guys want to be with me, I wonder?
So Pink leaves them to their research and goest to another section of the cave.
(The whole Shadow Triad teleports in this time.) ...Come. (They walk you over a bridge to a floating rock.) There are stairs leading down ahead. Team Plasma is waiting for you there.
Going downstairs, Pink sees a lot of plasma standinh about and beats each and every one of the. When she reaches the cave exit, N is blocking it
Pink: there i went through you little test now kingly move N.
N: The world turns gray with the mingling of a great many thoughts.I can't allow it to happen. Pokémon and humans should be cleanly split. As clearly separate as black and white. And it is then that Pokémon can be perfect. Yes! That is my dream! A dream I seek to make reality! Do you have a dream Pink?
Pink:yes,I do
N Wonderful,I'll battle you to figure out your dream.
[Pink v. N]
N sends out Boldore
Pink sends out Sage
N:Smack down
Pink:seed bomb
N: Power gem
Pink:vine whip
<boldore faints>
N sends out joltic
Pink sends out blaze
N:gastro acid
Pink:heat crush
N:spark
Pink:flame charge
<joltic faints>
N sends out ferroseed
N: gyro ball
Pink: fire blast
<ferroseed faints>
N: Why? Why is it that though I agonize over being a Trainer, no matter how much I fight, I can't win...? Ugh! Is this how I am to pursue my ideals?! The legendary Pokémon,will it befriend me...?!
Just then Bi and Prof. Juni arrive.
Bianca: Pink! Mistralton City is just ahead!
Juniper: Good ears, Bianca. I can't believe you heard her from so far away! So Pink, who's that Trainer there...?
Pink: This is N.
N:Prof. Juniper,what are your thinking. You seem to have no qualms about the relationship between people and pokemon. You catagorize Pokemon using abitary rules thinking you can understand them that way. The very Idea of a 'Pokedex' disgusts me. Shame on you!!
Pink: Hey!! Don't you dare talk to Prof. Juni like that!!
Juniper: Oh...? You sound quite opposed to it. But, hey, your opinion is just one way of looking at things. And my own wishes, too, are just one of the ways. How to get along with Pokémon... that's for everyone to decide for themselves, isn't it?
N: ...So it's people with mistaken beliefs who torture Pokémon... I can't simply ignore such an idiotic world as that! (leaves)
Juniper: Well, I wasn't exactly expecting him to get it right away.It's alright for him to learn bit by bit, so I hope he comes to understand how we all feel. Now then,I suppose I'll collect a bit more data here, hm? For us to better get along with Pokémon, we need to know more about them!
Bianca: Uhh, Pink! I'm serving as a bodyguard for Professor Juniper right now, so I'll be sticking with the Professor!
Pink: ok see you guys later
And Pink exits the cave into Mistralton.
