I...I think I'm gonna challenge the gymleader again soon. We didn't do so good last time, but we got a lot of real good trainin' and I worked real hard to learn a lot o' stuff. My Pokemon n' I are just tryin' to get in a little more trainin' before we challenge him, though.

...I'm actually a little nervous, y'know? Heh heh, it kinda feels like a match back home. A kinda mix o' nervous n' excited all at the same time!

Oh, uh...before I forget! It shoulda taken a real long time to get to Violet from Goldenrod, right? 'Cause I was in Goldenrod like, last week or somethin' n' when I woke up the other day, I was a day or so outside of Violet. Does stuff like that just happen here or what? And I thought that uh, a...a buddy o' mine was still here, but...

But when I woke up, I tried callin' him and I still couldn't get hold of him...

Musta been some kinda crazy dream or somethin', right?

...We're gonna do our best to beat the gymleader. We've got a disadvantage as far as types go, but I think we can do it this time! _{[Mac grins a determined little grin and the feed shuts off.]}
