Dave! Barry already left. I don't know what it was about, but he sure was in a hurry!

What's the matter, dear? ... Wow. That's what happened to you? You and Barry are lucky to have met Prof. Rowan. Imagine if you didn't... I wouldn't like to think what the wild Pokémon might have done to you two. Dave, go see Prof. Rowan, and thank him properly for your Pokémon. His lab is in Sandgem Town, isn't it? Now that you have your own Pokémon, the tall grass won't be so threatening.

 Were you surprised to see me, Dave? I got bored, so I came out to Hearthome for a little vacation. I'm just as surprised to see you here, my dear! But are you serious about entering Contests? Not dressed that way! When your Pokémon is all dressed up, you can't be dressed your usual way. Put this on for a little glamour.
