# 0_0 Morty: It’s good of you to have come.
Here in Ecruteak, Pokémon have long
been revered.
It’s said that a rainbow-hued
Pokémon will come down to appear\fbefore a truly powerful Trainer.
I believed that tale, so I have
secretly trained here all my life.
As a result, I can now see what
others cannot.
I see a shadow of the person who
will make the Pokémon appear.
I believe that person is me!
You’re going to help me reach
that level!
# 0_1 Morty: I don’t think our potentials are
so different. But you seem to have\fsomething more than that...
So be it. This Badge is yours.
# 0_2 VAR(259, 0, 0) received
the Fog Badge from Morty!
# 0_3 Morty: By having the Fog Badge,
Pokémon up to Lv. 50, including traded\fPokémon, will obey you.
Also, Pokémon will be able to use Surf.
Here is another thing...
I want you to have this, too.
# 0_5 Morty: It’s Shadow Ball. It causes
damage and may reduce Special Defense.\fUse it if it appeals to you.
# 0_6 Morty: I get it...
The person the Kimono Girls were
talking about must be you...
Never mind.
You should be strong enough to go
across the sea.
When you go west and then south,
you’ll reach Olivine City.\fWhy don’t you head for it?
# 0_7 Yo! Champ in the making!
The Trainers here use Ghost-type\fPokémon at will.
A ghost is like a shade or a phantom...
It won’t do any good to use physical\fstrength alone.
# 0_8 Whew, VAR(259, 0, 0).
You did great!
I was cowering in the corner out of
pure terror!
# 0_9 You have business with the Gym Leader?
Morty, the Gym Leader, has gone to
the Burned Tower.
Sorry, but you’ll have to leave.
Ho ho ho.
