PS04: A Newly-Evolved Partner!
PS04's Documented "Plot"
Stocking up on items at a Poke Mart, Michael was all set to head for Turffield to begin his Gym Challenge.
Started by traveling through Route 3, Michael battled some opponents before running into Sonia, who explains to Michael about a company owned by Chairman Rose & how he's responsible for providing Galar with its energy, which sounds a little fascinating to Michael. Sonia was kind enough to give Michael an Escape Rope & even heal up his Pokemon before they departed from each other.
After battling another opponent, Michael visited a trainer's (Becca) Pokemon Camp. The 1st batch of curry Michael & Becca made together was usual to the curry that Michael made himself before (from his own camp in the Wild Area) but it was still good. Michael's Sobble had lots of fun playing with Becca's Pokemon & even Michael himself played with them so much that Sobble's bond with its trainer started to grow a little. The 2nd batch of curry was a little different because it was more good than the 1st one.
As Michael was ready to depart, Sobble gained enough Exp. Points to evolve into Drizzile, which Michael was so happy about. Michael & Becca gave a kindly farewell to each other & Becca's Oddish (Oddball) kindly gave Michael a Chesto Berry as thanks for a good time.
After collecting some berries (from a berry tree) & battling 2 more opponents, Michael arrived at the entrance to the Galar Mine where a woman (presenting herself as a pop-up Pokemon Center service) kindly healed up Michael's Pokemon as he heads into the mine.
After battling many opponents (with only his Slowpoke), Michael ran into a trainer whom he recognized from the opening ceremony & that trainer introduced himself as Bede (his game counterpart). Bede also recognized Michael as a Gym Challenger endorsed by Champion Leon while he then explains how he was endorsed by Chairman Rose. From hearing how Bede's game counterpart scoffed at him, Michael got serious about accepting to face him in a battle, which Michael managed to win, thanks to his newly-evolved Drizzile.
As Bede's game counterpart departing (after a little more scoffing from him), Michael wondered a little about why he was gathering Wishing Stars in the Galar Mine.
Michael exited the Galar Mine & arrived on Route 4 where another woman (as a pop-up Pokemon Center service) kindly healed up Michael's Pokemon.
After gathering more berries (from a berry tree) & battled many opponents (including a Poke Kid's Pikachu & a Poke Kid's Eevee), Michael visited another Pokemon Camp by a Backpacker & her Poke Kid sister (Molly & Susan) where Drizzile (along with its trainer) had another good time by playing with Molly's & Susan's Pokemon (including a Pikachu). Michael was proud of the curry he made with Molly & Susan because it ended up not becoming spicy, which made it so great to enjoy.
As Michael departed back on his path, he came across a Wooloo & Turffield Gym Leader Milo (his game counterpart). Both Milo & Michael recognized each other from the opening ceremony as Milo mentions how he's looking forward how good Michael is as a Champion-endorsed Gym Challenger, while Michael mentions how he'll be looking forward to his 1st-ever Gym Battle.
As Milo headed on back to his stadium, Michael has arrived in Turffield where he met up with Hop who looked on at Turffield Stadium with Michael as both Gym Challengers are aiming to be ready for own Gym Battles. Hop explains about Sonia looking for Michael to ask about something & at that time, Sonia's Yamper (who apparently shown up), kindly guided Michael to its trainer's location for her.
Sonia spoke with Michael about Turffield's Geoglyph, which made Michael wonder if it has something to do with Dynamax. Listening to Sonia, Michael wondered more about Galar's Hero Legend which includes The Darkest Day.
After receiving a few gifts from Sonia, Michael stayed at the Pokemon Center for a while as he's anticipating huge experience from his 1st-ever upcoming Gym Battle.
