“Oh gee thanks. I have been meaning to get to them soon but with life and new Pokémon coming in the way, I wasn’t able to do it right away. Luckily I have been traveling towards Violet City for some time before tonight’s party so I should be on my way to face Falkner.”

“Whoa, you managed to defeat him and Bugsy already? That’s terrific. I think that my Pokémon are in levels high enough to take on their own by now so I do hope that they can handle them in the gym challenges. Here’s hoping that I can get at least two badges by the end of this year. And hopefully face Jasmine at some point too.”
