As we continue on Route 3, we find a Blitzle roaming in the area, one of them likes Pikachu's electricity and decides to join our team.

Blitzle: The Electrified Pokemon: Electric Type. Its mane shines when it discharges electricity. They use their flashing manes to communicate with one another.

And then we're inside Wellspring Cave, and I know for sure this used to be one of my hiding spots. I also decide to capture myself a Woobat, who also followed me 2 years ago until I release it.

Woobat: The Bat Pokemon: Psychic and Flying Type. Suction from its nostrils enables it to stick to cave walls during sleep. It leaves a heart-shaped mark behind.

Once we're done here, we are about to enter Nacrene City until we hear a voice, "You guys! Wait just a sec!"

We turn around and we find a girl who can't stop herself and she crashes me and Alice into the river.

"Ash! Alice! Are you alright?" Eve yells.

After getting out of the water, we decided to warm our clothes and the girl keeps apologizing. "I'm so sorry, please forgive me... I feel totally awful..."

"It's alright." Alice says.

"So what are you doing here?" Cilan asks.

"I want to have a talk with Ash." Then she takes out the Rotom Phone and Professor Juniper appears.

"Hey, Ash. Still on your way to Castelia City, right?" Professor Juniper asks.

"Yes, but I get a Ribbon for the contests already." I say.

"Congratulations. But that reminds me, I forgot to give you a badge case, Bianca has it."

After the girl introdues herself as Binaca, she tries to give me the badge case, but it is really dusty. And just when she tries to hand it over, a Minccino grabs it and takes it away. I know for sure that Minccino really doesn't like dusty things.

Binaca wants to capture the Minccino, so she brings out her Pignite to help out. After Minccino takes out Bianca's Pignite and then our Oshawott, it runs off with the Badge case again.

Bianca lures the Pokémon out of hiding by rubbing one of Cilan's shiny spoons in the dirt. When Minccino shows up to "rescue" the spoon, Bianca is determined to catch it and pulls a dusty Poké Ball from her bag. Minccino sees the dirty Poké Ball and can't resist giving it a shine. And much to everyone's surprise, the Poké Ball activates and captures Minccino.

Once we get to the Pokemon Center, Bianca and I have a battle. We're using one Pokemon each, and I decided to try Blitzle to battle the Pignite. Pignite's Heat Crash proves powerful, but with Blitzle's Spark attack, Pignite is down.

"Bianca may have more badges than Ash, but what matters is the strength." Alice says.

Bianca then vows that the next time we meet she'll be stronger, and then she leaves. Eve says, "She sure can move in her own phase..."

"I agree." I say.

When we arrive at Nacrene City, we find a lot of warehouses and art everywhere. We decide to check out the museum because Golly wants to check it out, only to find that it is closed.

"Excuse me? Anybody there?" Eve asks, and it is then we hear a scream, and the husband of the former Gym Leader Lenora rushes out.

"Sir, are you alright?" I ask.

"In there! It's horrible!" We see nothing inside, and he explains that he's being chased by a Dome Fossil. We find the story to be a little bizarre, and inside we investigate only to find that the Fossil is back on its display.
