# 0_0 Buck: Yo, if it isn’t VAR(259, 0, 0)!
Out training right away, are you?
So, uh, since you’re training anyway,
can you do me a favor?
I’d like you to patrol Stark Mountain
for me.
# 0_1 Buck: Up past here, there’s this
volcano. It’s Stark Mountain.
Deep inside it is this special rock called
the Magma Stone.
I can’t explain it well, but it’s really
important. It keeps a Pokémon asleep.
But lately, I’ve been hearing rumors
about vandals in Stark Mountain.
They say goons in space suits are
causing trouble there.
# 0_2 Huh?
What, me?
I was on my way to the Pokémon Center
because my Pokémon’s low on HP.
So, if you could get up to Stark
Mountain now, that’d be great. Thanks!
# 0_3 I’ll keep asking the same thing over and
over until you say “Yes!”
# 0_4 Buck: OK! You’re in charge!
Patrol Stark Mountain for me!
Don’t worry about me.
Not even a little bit, OK?
# 0_5 Wake: Oh, if it isn’t VAR(259, 0, 0)!
It’s been a while!
You’ve grown so tough that you’re
training out here now...
Everyone keeps getting tougher and
tougher...
And, in doing that, they develop
closer bonds with their Pokémon...
# 0_6 VAR(259, 1, 0): That’s my master!
Those are words of wisdom!
# 0_7 Wake: What? Are you still having trouble
understanding?
I don’t for a second ever recall
accepting you as an apprentice!
I mean, if it’s wrestling moves, I can
show you all you like, but...
# 0_8 VAR(259, 1, 0): Awww, master, don’t be
that way!
You’ve got to get me into that club
in the Survival Area!
# 0_9 Wake: ...How’d I get involved in this...?
So, anyway, VAR(259, 0, 0).
You’re going to Stark Mountain?
Even the wild Pokémon there are very,
very tough...
If your Pokémon aren’t well trained,
they’ll have a miserable time...
Then again, that kind of challenge
is an exciting prospect...
But no matter what, you’d better
be fully prepared!
I’ve got to get ready for another
tournament. Farewell!
# 0_10 VAR(259, 1, 0): You know, I think I got
a little tougher again.
That’s why I’m off to the Battle
Frontier so I can make some challenges!
# 0_11 Master!
Wait for me!
