Inside the Indigo Plateau Pokemon League building. PSEUDO stands at the front desk.

RECEPTIONIST: Are you a boy or a girl?

PSEUDO: Boy.

RECEPTIONIST: And what is your name?

PSEUDO: Pseudo.

RECEPTIONIST: Would you like to rate your service in this survey?

PSEUDO leaves the front desk. The RECEPTIONIST calls after him.

RECEPTIONIST: Thank you for registering for the Elite Four challenge!

PSEUDO looks around the room. There are groups of people with microphones and cameras, talking animatedly about something.

PSEUDO: Is that a literal camera crew?

CECIL: Likely preparing for the next challenge.

VERNE: People sure love to see a good Pokemon battle.

ROD: And we’re gonna give ‘em one.

JASON: Gonna give them a few.

PSEUDO stops at the shop corner.

The CLERK stares, amazed, as PSEUDO piles an armful of Hyper Potions onto the desk.

CLERK: Okay, that’ll be-

PSEUDO leaves the desk and returns with another armful of Hyper Potions.

CLERK: Uh… that’ll-

PSEUDO leaves the desk and returns with another armful of Hyper Potions.

Then another.

Then an armful of Full Restores.

And another.

And another.

And two more of Full Heals.

And one more of Hyper Potions.

The CLERK looks between the pile on the counter and PSEUDO, who is staring expectantly.

CLERK: … that’ll be… a lot…

PSEUDO flashes his Trainer Card - in the currency section, instead of a monetary value, is the word “$HITLOAD$”.

PSEUDO: Bought like two things since I left Pallet Town.

CLERK: I don’t have the context for that - can you carry all this?

Later, his bag filled with items, PSEUDO crosses the room to the waiting area and sits. He looks across at the camera crews, who are starting to eye him.

ORBIT: Looks like you’re on the radar.

PSEUDO: Good. If they’d happy to broadcast Gary’s dirty little face across Kanto, I must be a dream come true.

CECIL: Anyone else feeling terrified and excited?

WARP: Not feeling as such would be strange.

VERNE: I’m ready.

ROD: Me too.

JASON: Same.

CECIL: And me.

WARP: Of course.

PSEUDO: Orbit? You ready to kick us off?

ORBIT hesitates, a little unsure, but decides.

CECIL: Definitely.

Ahead of them, a pair of guards open the double doors to the next room.

GUARDS: The Elite Four awaits! Challenger Pseudo is permitted to enter!

The camera crews scramble to gather their equipment and hurry through media access passages. PSEUDO watches them go, waiting for them to get there in time to capture his moment.

PSEUDO: Today’s my day.

PSEUDO holds ORBIT’s Pokeball and passes through the doors.

The Elite Four gauntlet. PSEUDO walks down a hallway lined with blue tiling and bright blue lighting.

PSEUDO: Could get used to this.

The hallway opens into a room lined with ice pillars. The temperature immediately drops and PSEUDO’s breath is visible in the air, as is a thin layer of mist along the ground.

In the center of the room, a red-headed woman in glasses and a skirt surveys PSEUDO.

LORELEI: Welcome to the Pokemon League.

PSEUDO: Thanks! You’re not wearing enough clothing for this room.

LORELEI: I am Lorelei of the Elite Four! No-one can best me when it comes to Ice Pokemon.

PSEUDO: Lucky I brought an Electric-type.

LORELEI raises an eyebrow and a Pokeball.

LORELEI: Your Pokemon will be at my mercy when they are frozen solid!

PSEUDO holds out ORBIT’s Pokeball, mirroring LORELEI. A superior smile plays upon her face.

LORELEI: Are you ready, Challenger?

PSEUDO: As I’ll ever be!

Elite Four Challenge - PSEUDO Vs. LORELEI

LORELEI releases DEWGONG as PSEUDO releases ORBIT.

LORELEI: Hail!

Part of the mist on the ground is lifted into the air, creating a swirling mass of clouds above the trainers. Hail begins to drop on the battlefield.

PSEUDO: Orbit! Shock Tactic!

ORBIT understands the code. It starts sparking and rams against DEWGONG, dealing a great amount of damage with Spark. Hail falls against ORBIT but it tries to ignore the damage. DEWGONG uses Ice Beam but only deals some damage to ORBIT - who quickly uses Shock Wave. DEWGONG is shocked with more electricity and falls - KO!

LORELEI: Lapras, use Confuse Ray!

LORELEI releases LAPRAS. ORBIT is hit with a Confuse Ray and becomes confused.

PSEUDO: Come on, Orbit, focus!

ORBIT struggles to see straight. It rolls around a little in its confusion - then strikes with a mighty Thunder, cracking down from the clouds above to defeat LAPRAS - KO!

LORELEI: Slowbro - attack while it’s confused!

LORELEI releases SLOWBRO. She prepares to attack - but is surprised by something.

ORBIT has been replaced with JASON.

PSEUDO: He needed a break.

The excited JASON leaps at SLOWBRO with Bite, taking the part-Psychic type down easily - KO!

LORELEI grits her teeth and releases CLOYSTER. PSEUDO returns JASON and brings ORBIT back out, now free of confusion.

ORBIT uses Thunder straight out of the Pokeball, bringing down CLOYSTER in one hit - KO!

LORELEI throws out her last Pokemon - a JYNX.

LORELEI: Ice Punch!

PSEUDO: Thunder!

ORBIT moves first with Thunder, bringing down a bolt of lighting - that JYNX dodges! JYNX darts across the field and lands an Ice Punch into ORBIT.

PSEUDO: Whoa-!

JYNX stumbles. Signs of electrical disturbance sputter around her.

PSEUDO: Hah! Orbit’s Contact paralyzed her!

LORELEI: That won’t help you one bit!

ORBIT tries Spark, hitting JYNX and damaging her a bit.

LORELEI: Jynx - Lovely Kiss!

ORBIT is hit with Lovely Kiss. Its eyes close as it quickly falls asleep.

PSEUDO: Oh, boy.

PSEUDO takes the opportunity to spray ORBIT with a Hyper Potion.

LORELEI: Take him out.

JYNX pounds ORBIT with another Ice Punch. PSEUDO wakes ORBIT up with a Full Heal.

ORBIT uses another Spark, almost defeating JYNX - but is put to sleep by another Lovely Kiss.

PSEUDO uses a Full Restore on ORBIT.

PSEUDO: Haha, now we’re-

LORELEI uses a Full Restore on JYNX.

PSEUDO: Oh, for fuck’s sake-

ORBIT uses Thunder but misses. JYNX uses Lovely Kiss again. PSEUDO wakes ORBIT up with a Full Heal just in time to get Ice Punched again.

PSEUDO: Come on, Orbit, just one good hit-!

ORBIT gathers its energy and uses Thunder again. Lightning strikes from the clouds down to the battlefield below - hitting JYNX for a critical hit! JYNX finally falls - KO!

PSEUDO wins!

PSEUDO: Yes! Round one done!

ORBIT: We did it!

LORELEI adjusts her glasses.

LORELEI: Alas, Challenger, for I… you’re better than I thought!

LORELEI steps aside. The door to the next hallway opens behind her.

LORELEI: Go on ahead - but be warned, you’ve only got a taste of the League’s power.

PSEUDO: Tastes like victory.

LORELEI: Aren’t you the little smart alec.

PSEUDO gives LORELEI a cheeky grin as he ambles through to the next hallway, which is is tiled yellow, lined with yellow light.

The next room is similar to the first, though where there was blue there is yellow, and where there were pillars of ice there are pillars of stone.

BRUNO: So, you’ve beaten Lorelei!

In the middle of the room, PSEUDO watches a large, muscled, shirtless man stand up and face him.

PSEUDO: (monotone) Oh my god.

BRUNO stands with his hands on his hips, his chest puffed out - the very image of manly dominance.

BRUNO: I am Bruno of the Elite Four!

PSEUDO: You’re kidding.

BRUNO: Through rigorous training, people and Pokémon can become stronger without limit-

PSEUDO: (judgmentally) The muscles.

BRUNO: I’ve lived and trained with my Fighting Pokémon!

PSEUDO: The drive.

BRUNO: And that will never change-!

PSEUDO: The hypermasculinity.

BRUNO: (annoyed) What are you saying?

PSEUDO: That I’ve never seen a more heterosexual man in my fucking life.

BRUNO: I don’t understand.

PSEUDO: Nothing - is your beltline torn off?

BRUNO: Silence!

PSEUDO: Did you belt a ripped onesie for the goddamn aesthetic-

BRUNO holds out an oversized Pokeball.

BRUNO: We will grind you down with our superior power!

PSEUDO sputters in laughter.

PSEUDO: You’re kidding! You can’t be serious, you-

BRUNO: Onix!

BRUNO releases ONIX.

PSEUDO: Fine, but holy shit, dude.

PSEUDO releases CECIL.

Elite Four Challenge - PSEUDO Vs. BRUNO

BRUNO: Rock Tomb!

PSEUDO: Surf!

ONIX attempts to entomb CECIL but the rocks are washed away by the Surf - ONIX is slammed against the wall. KO!

BRUNO: A single hit!?

BRUNO takes out another oversized Pokeball and releases HITMONCHAN.

BRUNO: Hitmonchan!

CECIL: That’s your cue, Warp.

CECIL returns as WARP is released. He steps lightly, watching HITMONCHAN closely.

BRUNO: Take him out!

HITMONCHAN throws a punch but WARP holds up a spoon. HITMONCHAN’s fist stops just before it makes contact, being held back by psychic energy. HITMONCHAN pushes, trying to get past the wall, getting closer to attacking WARP…

PSEUDO: Warp, no playing around this time.

WARP: Ah.

HITMONCHAN is blasted backwards with the force of WARP’s Psychic pulse. He hits the wall in the same place ONIX did - KO!

BRUNO releases HITMONLEE.

BRUNO: Hitmonlee, Mega Kick!

HITMONLEE springs across the room but WARP waves a hand and casts him aside, immediately KO'ing him.

BRUNO: What? No! Onix, get him!

PSEUDO: Another one?

ONIX is released. It crashes into the ground, immediately using Earthquake.

PSEUDO: Earthquake…

WARP, however, is fine. The ground around him rumbles and breaks but where the floor begins to dip, he remains in the air. Rocks crash around him but those that would make contact instead begin to glow and float around him.

ONIX, wary, watches the display. It raises its tail to-

WARP raises his hands. The rocks shoot across the room and pelt ONIX - before it can react, WARP already has it in the air. ONIX is spun around like a rotor and crashes into the ceiling - KO!

BRUNO: Machamp! Use-

MACHAMP is barely released before WARP has him targeted. WARP holds him in the air. MACHAMP’s body begins to spin and shake, as it were being pushed and pulled in every direction at once. It tries to escape, but WARP has him. WARP holds up his spoon and points - MACHAMP is launched like a bullet into the wall - KO!

PSEUDO wins!

PSEUDO: Victoryyyyyy!

WARP: Fantastic!

BRUNO squeezes his fists in frustration. His entire body flexes.

BRUNO: (defeatedly) Rgh… my job is done. Go face your next challenge.

PSEUDO: Cheers, guy.

PSEUDO passes BRUNO, but stops beside him.

PSEUDO: One more question, Bruno.

BRUNO: Yes?

PSEUDO: … what does it take to be a real man?

BRUNO looks to PSEUDO and gives a proud, knowing smile.

BRUNO: A real man is one who trains with pride, a man who’s strength is matched only by-

PSEUDO: (prettily) Trick question, you’re in a prison, wear pink once in a while.

PSEUDO skips away from BRUNO, who is left stunned.

PSEUDO hurries back.

PSEUDO: Just gonna-

PSEUDO runs a hand down BRUNO’s arm.

PSEDUO: Incredible. Thanks, Brun’.

PSEUDO leaves the room. BRUNO looks after him, still confused.

The third hallway is lined with purple, giving it an eerie vibe.

PSEUDO: Oh, okay, we’re getting edgy now.

The third room is coloured purple, surprising no-one. The pillars lining the room are stone memorials.

In the center, an older woman with an apron and cane stands.

AGATHA: I am Agatha of the Elite Four.

PSEUDO: Woah, you’re kinda ol-you know what, you look lovely.

AGATHA: I hear Oak’s taken a lot of interest in you, child.

PSEUDO: (lighting up) Oh, how do you know Oak?

AGATHA: That old duff was once tough and hansome-

PSEUDO: (recoiling) I no longer want to know how you know Oak.

AGATHA: - but now he’s a shadow of his former self. Now all he wants to do is fiddle with his Pokedex! Pokemon aren’t for collecting! They’re for battling!

PSEUDO: Are you a fucking Rocket grunt?

AGATHA: I’ll show you how a real trainer battles!

PSEUDO: What, with a villainous backstory?

AGATHA throws a Pokeball, releasing GENGAR. PSEUDO releases JASON.

JASON: To be fair, you’re not collecting Pokemon either, you’re using us to battle, too-

PSEUDO: Jason, don’t be that guy.

JASON laughs.

Elite Four Challenge - PSEUDO Vs. AGATHA!

AGATHA: Gengar! Double Team!

GENGAR splits into two forms of itself, grinning madly.

AGATHA: Hahaha! Now you must-

JASON Bites one of the GENGARs - the real one. It immediately falls - KO!

AGATHA: What?

PSEUDO: Can we not monologue through the fight, please? We’ve all got places to be.

AGATHA: Grr- Golbat, take her place!

PSEUDO: Warp, take this one!

JASON tags out for WARP as AGATHA releases her GOLBAT.

AGATHA: Use-

PSEUDO: Psybeam!

WARP emits a Psybeam from its forehead jewel straight into GOLBAT’s mouth. KO!

PSEUDO: Yeah, eat it!

AGATHA: Nng! Arbok, Iron Tail!

AGATHA releases ARBOK. It makes to swing its tail but WARP flicks it aside with Psychic. KO!

PSEUDO: You know these are all Poison-types, right?

AGATHA: What’s that supposed to mean?

PSEUDO: Your PR people are billing you as a Ghost-type trainer.

AGATHA: I have two Gengars and a Haunter!

PSEUDO: Woah. So diverse. My mistake.

AGATHA grits her teeth and releases another GENGAR. PSEUDO switches WARP out for JASON again.

JASON: Haven’t we been down this road before?

GENGAR sticks its tongue out. It pulls it back in to attack but JASON is too fast - he Bites it. The GENGAR shrieks and Flinches, giving JASON the opportunity to Bite it again, defeating it - KO!

AGATHA: Oh, you are a defiant one, aren’t you.

PSEUDO: This is what not being thirsty for Oak’s dick looks like.

AGATHA’s eyes widen in horrific offence. She throws her last Pokeball into the field.

AGATHA: Go, Haunter!

AGATHA’S HAUNTER is released, looking quite terrifying. AGATHA smirks.

AGATHA: You know what to do.

HAUNTER chuckles, its body growing larger in preparation to attack.

PSEUDO: Get it.

JASON Bites HAUNTER, doing a significant amount of damage - but not enough to defeat it.

JASON: Shit-

PSEUDO: Oh, boy-

HAUNTER’s energy spikes. It opens its hands and flashes its eyes, enacting its attack-!

HAUNTER uses Curse, cutting its own HP to zero.

PSEUDO and JASON stare. AGATHA’s lips are pursed.

PSEUDO: … did it just-

AGATHA: Obviously.

PSEUDO wins!

JASON: Huh. Well.

PSEUDO: A win’s a win?

JASON: Let’s go with that.

AGATHA is bitter.

AGATHA: Eurgh… you little maggot- you mock me, slander me and now you-

PSEUDO: Beat you fair and square? Don’t mind if I did.

PSEUDO goes to leave.

PSEUDO: By the way, having a tragic backstory explain your shitty beliefs doesn’t count if it’s about some guy not liking you.

AGATHA: We were colleagues, you presumptuous little shit.

PSEUDO: Oh my god, it was a joke, lady - (nicely) if you’re gonna be evil, don’t make it about someone else. Succumb to your own dark side. Corrupt your own damn self.

AGATHA: I’m not evil, I’m-

PSEDUO: (nicely) Agree to disagree, you heartless witch.

AGATHA: I hate you.

PSEDUO smiles serenely and goes to leave again.

PSEUDO: (quickly) Also, Pokemon aren’t for collecting or battling, they’re for friendship and lifelong bonding and all that stuff 'kay bye.

PSEUDO leaves. The fourth hallway is teal-coloured.

PSEUDO: We’re nearly there, guys - just one more member to go.

The fourth room is decorated with what look like huge dragon claws - or teeth. A caped man with dramatic hair stands in the center of the room.

LANCE: Ah! I’ve heard about you, Pseudo!

PSEUDO: Sweet.

LANCE: You can call me Lance the Dragon Trainer! I lead the Elite Four!

LANCE swishes his cape.

LANCE: You know that Dragons are mythical Pokemon?

PSEUDO has a flashback to the Legendary Birds and MEWTWO.

PSEUDO: (strained) Are they really?

LANCE: They’re hard to catch and but their powers are superior! They’re virtually indestructible!

PSEUDO: 'Indestructible’, okay, I’m sure that’s true.

LANCE: What’s that? You doubt our power?

PSEUDO: Isn’t Gary already the Champion? Haven’t you already been defeated-

LANCE: (dramatically) What this insolence?

PSEUDO: What’s what?

LANCE: The isole-

PSEUDO: (yelling) What?

LANCE: (yelling) I said what is this-

PSEUDO: I can’t hear over all the hot air escaping from your head.

LANCE: The scorn!

PSEUDO: The what?

LANCE: Enough!

LANCE lifts a Pokeball.

LANCE: Are you ready to lose? Your League challenge ends with me, Pseudo!

PSEUDO lifts his own.

PSEUDO: Nah.

Both trainers throw their Pokeballs into the field.

Elite Four Challenge - PSEUDO Vs. LANCE

LANCE releases GYARADOS, PSEUDO releases ORBIT.

GYARADOS arcs its body to attack - ORBIT tackles it with SPARK. GYARADOS is electrified and goes down immediately. KO!

PSEUDO: How challenging.

ORBIT chuckles.

LANCE: Well, then. Try out my Dragonair!

LANCE releases DRAGONAIR. It uncurls in the air and trills menacingly.

PSEUDO: Hmm, Dragon-types. Don’t have any Ice, don’t have any Dragon, resistant against most elements… guess I need a Wildcard.

PSEUDO brings ORBIT back and throws a Pokeball.

ROD is released.

ROD: Ye-heah, it’s Rod’s time!

LANCE: (laughing) A Raticate? You send a Raticate before the almighty dragons? What could you possibly do with-

ROD Hyper Fangs DRAGONAIR straight into submission - KO!

LANCE: What?

ROD: Eat a dick, Lance!

LANCE: Rgh- my second Dragonair - Thunder Wave!

DRAGONAIR is released. DRAGONAIR is Hyper Fanged. DRAGONAIR is KO’d.

ROD looks at LANCE with the smuggest expression possible.

LANCE: Come on! Oh, prepare, Pseudo… prepare for Dragonite!

LANCE throws another Pokeball - releasing DRAGONITE, who looms over the battlefield.

PSEUDO: Aw, he’s adorable!

LANCE: Wh- he is not adorable! He is a mighty dragon!

PSEUDO: (with a squeaky-high voice) But look at his little face!

ROD: Orbit, he’s part-Flying, get on this!

ROD tags out for ORBIT.

PSEUDO: Hey, I thought you wanted to-

ROD: I took down two of the leader of the Elite Four’s Pokemon without breaking a sweat, I’m good, man.

PSEUDO: Nice.

LANCE: Dragonite… Outrage.

DRAGONITE envelops itself in its powerful dragon energy - it thrashes into ORBIT, dealing quite a bit of damage.

PSEUDO: Orbit! Are you okay?

ORBIT: Rgh- I’m going to end this-!

ORBIT charges an attack - Thunder. DRAGONITE is struck by a powerful bolt of lightning… but survives.

ORBIT: What?

PSEUDO: No-!

ORBIT: But it- it was-

DRAGONITE continues to attack, barreling into ORBIT. ORBIT is smashed away into the wall.

PSEUDO: Orbit!

ORBIT’s surface cracks. Its entire expression is frozen in place.

PSEUDO: What are- no, hold on - Orbit, what’s happening?

The crack spreads. From inside, a bright light is growing.

PSEUDO: Oh my god, no, no no-

A piece breaks away. The light inside explodes into the room. Sparks fly, electricity spills.

PSEUDO: Orbit…

The light fades. The sparks stop. What is left on the floor of the battlefield no longer has an expression.

PSEUDO: Orbit-!

WARP leaps out of his Pokeball, roaring in anger.

WARP uses Psychic on DRAGONITE, eliminating the rest of its HP. KO.

LANCE: Rrgh… your Pokemon are strong! Let’s see them take caare of this!

LANCE releases his final Pokemon - AERODACTYL.

WARP: Pseudo!

PSEDUO is forced to leave ORBIT.

PSEUDO: Ah… uh… Verne! Verne, switch out!

PSEUDO is only mid-sentence when VERNE emerges from his Pokeball.

LANCE: Have you ever seen an Aerodactly before? This Pokemon’s been extinct for a long time, I wouldn’t expect you to-!

PSEUDO: Let’s send it back.

VERNE uses Giga Drain, though it doesn’t harm AERODACTLY as much. AERODACTYL uses Wing Attack. VERNE uses Razor Leaf.

VERNE: We’re whittling him down!

LANCE uses a Full Restore.

PSEUDO: Fuck your entire life.

VERNE and AERODACTYL continue trading attacks. VERNE uses Vine Whip. AERODACTLY uses Wing Attack. VERNE uses Razor Leaf. AERODACTYL uses Wing Attack.

VERNE uses Giga Drain. LANCE uses another Full Restore.

PSEUDO: Argh, come on!

Razor Leaf. Wing Attack. Giga Drain. Wing Attack.

VERNE uses Giga Drain, depleting AERODACTYL of almost all its HP.

PSEUDO: That’s it, Verne, he’s nearly gone! You can do it!

LANCE: Hehe… Aerodactyl!

PSEUDO anticipates a moment of horror just before it happens.

LANCE: … Hyper Beam!

PSEUDO: No…!

ROD: Verne!

AERODACTYL opens its mouth - an intense, powerful beam of energy blasts out at VERNE.

VERNE: Pseudo-?

It connects. VERNE is engulfed in the blast.

PSEUDO: NO! VERNE, NO!

AERODACTYL’s attack ends. The light disappears. Dust and residual light and energy take a moment to dissipate. PSEUDO watches, terrified.

The field clears. Surrounded by burn marks on the ground, is VERNE… barely even singed.

VERNE: (standing up) Not even a scratch!

VERNE took almost no damage. PSEUDO nearly falls over in relief.

PSEDUO: VERNE, HOLY FUCK-

VERNE lands a Razor Leaf on a surprised AERODACTYL, which falls - KO!

PSEUDO wins!

PSEUDO sprints at VERNE, embracing him.

PSEUDO: Holy shit, dude, that was so fucking scary-

VERNE: You’re telling me!

LANCE is surprised.

LANCE: I can’t believe my dragons lost to you…

LANCE points to PSEUDO, who rolls his eyes in expectation of another annoying quip.

LANCE: You… are a Pokemon Master!

PSEUDO blinks.

PSEUDO: What? Whoa…

VERNE: Nice work, Pseudo!

PSEUDO: Uh… thanks, Lance!

LANCE: I’d love to name you Champion here and now, but-

PSEUDO: (darkly) Gary Oak was here.

LANCE: Uh… yes. He beat the Elite Four before you, so HE is the real Pokemon League Champion-

PSEUDO: Not for long.

PSEUDO walks past LANCE.

LANCE: Good luck, Pseudo.

PSEUDO almost looks back, but remembers what’s there.

PSEUDO: … thanks, man.

RIP Orbit the Electrode, Lv65.

PSEUDO: (under his breath) Orbit… I’m sorry…

The final hallway - lined with red. It’s longer than the others and includes a staircase to a large set of ornate doors.

PSEUDO walks towards it, VERNE following behind him. His footsteps echo through the empty hall.

VERNE: … Pseudo?

PSEUDO: Yeah?

VERNE: I’m sorry about Orbit.

PSEUDO: … it’s okay.

VERNE: … he was my safety net, wasn’t he. For Light Screen.

PSEUDO: … yeah. Do you still want to-

VERNE: Yeah, I do. I have to. I just wanted to make sure you knew-

PSEUDO: Yeah.

ROD: Hey, you two!

ROD, JASON, CECIL and WARP leave their Pokeballs, landing on VERNE’s back.

ROD: Stop being so depressing!

JASON: Yeah! Fights can be hard -

CECIL: And dangerous.

JASON: - but they’re fun, too, y'know.

WARP: That’s why we continue to do it, after all.

CECIL: And we’ve got nothing to be scared of!

WARP: Gary Oak has nothing the likes of what we have.

ROD: Yeah, Gary Oak’s a little shit!

PSEUDO: (smiling) You guys…

VERNE: Hey, Pseudo. They’re right.

PSEUDO looks at his team, together in front of him.

ROD: We’re gonna win this, man. For Orbit… for Diana.

VERNE: For everyone.

PSEUDO: … you’re right. You all are.

PSEUDO turns to face the door. PSEUDO’s Pokemon return to their Pokeballs.

PSEUDO pushes the door open, stepping through to the final challenge.
