MAY: Petalburg City! Dad! I'm back! I chose Torchic!

NORMAN: Cool.

ASH: You're a Gym Leader! I challenge you!

NORMAN: Very well.

They battle. Ash loses. Team Rocket appears. Team Rocket gets whooped again.

MAY: Wow, you're good at this Trainer stuff!

ASH: Well duh!

MAX: Hey, I'm Max and I'm comin' along with you!

ASH: ...Whatever.

They head to the Petalburg Woods.

BARNEY appears!!!

MAY: Ahhh! What's that big purple thing!?

BARNEY: Ho ho ho! I'm the new Team Rocket Executive!

ASH: No you're not!

Pikachu fries Barney and Torchic finishes him with Ember.

Barney explodes.

MAY: Ew! pukes on a nearby Shroomish

SHROOMISH: MISH!! throws Stun Spores everywhere

TORCHIC: fires off multiple Embers

MANY WURMPLE: shoot String Shots everywhere

ASH: Let's just go to Rustboro...
