- Lavender Town
{After fighting through the Pokemon Tower, Yellow and his team needed to rest for a while. While they were still in the area, Yellow decided to take his Pokemon to see the name rater, and finally get around to naming them.}
Lumina/Pikachu: I don't see the point of this.
Saurio/Ivysaur: Apparently, it's to help people tell us apart when we end up fighting others of our species.
Lumina: Hm... I can see why that would be a problem for Vulpix, but why the rest of us?
Charles/Kadabra: He seems to think it impolite to keep calling us by species. It doesn't occur to him that we have little need for names on our own.
Urbeth/Vulpix: Wait, what do you mean when you said it might be a problem for me?
Jolt/Jolteon: Oh that's because the Rival has a Vulpix, Jolteon, and Kadabra too.
Lumina: Yes, and we're sure to meet them again... wait, in our last encounter, he only had Eevee and Vulpix, you had not joined us, and none of us have mentioned Purple since then. How could you know about this?
Jolt: Um... sixth sense?
Lumina: ...You are a strange creature, Jolt.
Jolt: (Darn... I guess there's no point asking her if she wants to visit the future world with me.)

Yellow: Alright guys, we're going back to Saffron City, to see what we can do.
- Saffron City, north side
Yellow: (Two Gyms. One's guarded, the other isn't. Let's visit this one...)
- Fighting Dojo
Yellow: (Well, Purple's name isn't engraved on the statue...)
Blackbelt: Hoohah! You're trespassing in our Fighting Dojo!
{This fighter uses lv 31 Machop, Mankey, and Primeape. Despite their level advantage and X Attack items, Saurio, Leviat, and Charles manage to win. Saurio grows to level 26}
Blackbelt: Oof! I give up! The prime fighters across the land train here.
{Yellow retreats to heal. On his return:}
Blackbelt: I hear you're good! Show me!
Yellow: Of course!
{This Blackbelt uses Lv 32 Machop and Machoke. Saurio and Leviat win}
Blackbelt: Judge! 1 point! Our Master is a pro fighter!
Blackbelt: Nothing tough frightens me! I break boulders for training!
{This one uses a Lv 36 Primeape. It beats Leviat, leaving Saurio to land the finishing blow. Saurio grows to Lv 27}
Blackbelt: Yow! Stubbed fingers! The only thing that frightens us is psychic power!
{One heal later:}
Blackbelt: Hoargh! Take your shoes off!
{This one uses Lv 31 Mankey, Mankey, and Primeape}
Blackbelt: I give up! You wait 'til you see our Master! I'm a small fry compared to him!
{Another healing trip.}
Blackbelt Leader: Grunt! I am the Karate Master! I am the Leader here! You wish to challenge us?
Yellow: Yeah.
Karate Master: Expect no mercy! Fwaaa!
===Battle Start: Unidentified Karate Master===
Yellow: Hey, I wanted to ask you something-
Karate Master: Kiaah!
{The master sent out Hitmonlee, Level 37}
Yellow: (No good, he's too worked up.) Charles, Psybeam attack!
{Round 1: Hitmonlee spends his turn Meditating. This is a mistake, because Charles' Psybeam is a one hit KO.}
Yellow: I admit, you've trained more than I have. So why are you staying in here in the middle of a disaster?!
Karate Master: A Leader's place is in his gym! Even if I am no longer in the League, I will not break that rule!
{The Master sends out a level 37 Hitmonchan.}
Yellow: But what's the point of a title if you can't use your power?
{Round 2: Charles strikes first this time, and Hitmonchan goes down.}
Yellow: Staying holed up in here won't solve anything...
{Charles grows to level 30}
Karate Master: Hwa! Arrgh! Beaten!
===Battle End===
Yellow: Just... think it over. So what happens now? You did lose,
Karate Master: Indeed, I have lost! But, i beseech you, do not take our emblem as your trophy! In return, I will give you a prized fighting Pokemon! Choose whichever one you like!
Yellow: These pokeballs behind you, then... I'll pick Hitmonlee!
Karate Master: I see! And will you give him a nickname?
Yellow: Bruce seems to fit. (Hm, there's something written on this scroll: Enemies on every side. What could it mean?)
Karate Master: Ho! Stay and train at Karate with us!
Yellow: Sorry, but I need to train out there... Silph Co. Seems a good place to start from here.
