Yeah, th'fun part is, I've seen some even bigger dogs in Johto. [Arcanine = transcending doghood.] I think th'water thing's just a fire type thing; at least he's not tryin' t'hide in my jacket anymore. [He laughs at that, with how big Bas is now...]

[And gives a whistle at Kishi - who's easily one of the larger pokémon he's seen.] Looks like you're all set if you've got t'cross water, there.

I got lucky an'managed t'not get hit by th'Shedinja; mostly Yuki - was like she saw'em comin' before I did. [Remember the little Smoochum that tagged along with the girl he'd travelled with off and on? Yeah. She's now a Jynx, and waving at the camera from the background.] Did you guys come out'f that okay? I heard a bit about weird dreams, but...[Well, as worried as he is, at least it's a danger that's past.]

I got Victor t'calm down, but he never did warm up t'people, so I let'im go out by Olivine; left me with th'five, but we're doin' pretty well at that. An'Kaguya - well, she's not so little anymore. [Another tip to where the Yanmega is flying in circles overhead...] If you've got a bigger flyin' type, they can get you around th'wierd tree thing that's blockin' the path, even if they can't carry y'too far; Kaguya lifted me over it t'get to Goldenrod quicker once already.
