Misty

Guess that's one victory for us! I have to give you some credit, though... you're way stronger than I thought you'd be!

Acerola

Yeah! Our Pokémon all look like they had a ton of fun in that battle!

Calem

I told you I'm not a newbie when it comes to Pokémon training...

but you definitely impressed me back there. I can see how you've made it this far in the tournament.

Well, Espurr... They're definitely in the running for the championship... We've got some decisions to make.

Acerola

Hm? Is something wrong, Calem?

Calem

Well, it's just... I actually have a couple reasons for coming to find you today.

You've all heard of Team Break, right?

Misty

How could we not? They're trying to sabotage the PML by stealing people's Pokémon! We've battled tons of them.

Acerola

I haven't seen them around lately, though... Not since the tournament matches began, I think.

Calem

Well, it seems they're back in business. They've started stealing Pokémon again.

I was planning to infiltrate one of their hideouts, but Cynthia told me to hold off.

That's when she told me about you all... She said you might be willing to help.

Misty

Aha... Well, how could we say no to that!

Calem

But aren't you supposed to be preparing for the finals? Are you sure you want to get involved?

No hesitation at all, huh? Cynthia was right... You've definitely got some resolve.

Misty

That's right! We've still got some time before the opening ceremony begins. Let's do this!

Acerola

We'd love to help you, Calem! Let's take down Team Break together!

Calem

Thanks, everyone. Just do me a favor and don't go too overboard, OK? You've still got a tournament to win.

Right, then. Let's head to that hideout.

That's one of Team Break's hideouts... They're keeping their stolen Pokémon in that cave.

Misty

It's pretty well guarded. We'll have to be careful!

Calem

Espurr and I can handle the guards. Wait here. We'll take care of them.

Misty

What? Why don't we all go together?

Acerola

Yeah, let's do it together, Calem!

We'll be fine as long as we all stick close to one another.

Calem

... ... ...

All right, let's do this. Come on, everyone!
