PS08: Becoming Acquainted with Rivals!
PS08's Documented "Plot"
Upon entering Galar Mine No. 2, Michael came across Bede which soon led to a battle that the former managed to win. As Bede later departed, Michael continued to wonder about Bede especially hearing how he was still collecting Wishing Stars.
After battling a few opponents, Michael came across Team Yell who asked the young Gym Challenger for a battle, which leaves Michael in a little curiosity. After Hop arrived (having met up with Michael), Team Yell wasn't happy about that, which led to a tag battle that the 2 young Gym Challengers have won. After Team Yell retreated, Michael thanked Hop for his teamwork (& recovering his Pokemon) before the latter went on ahead in search for a certain Gym Leader.
After battling an opponent (& a Galarian Stunfisk), Michael caught up with Hop who finds Motostoke Gym Leader Kabu (his game counterpart) defeating Team Yell since they got in the way of a Carkol doing its Poke Job. Michael & Hop meets Kabu who's aware of the 2 being endorsed by Champion Leon. Kabu confirms to have finished his recent training then he commented on looking forward to the good matches he'll have by facing the 2 young Gym Challengers.
As Kabu (& the Carkol) departed, Michael learns from Hop about how some Gym Challengers gave up after losing to Kabu (probably more than once), which left Michael fascinated & Hop fired up as they proceeded in exiting Galar Mine No. 2.
It was thanks to Hop that Michael learned about Poke Jobs, which sounds helpful for Pokemon (in storage) to do whenever they're yet to be needed by their trainers.
As Hop went on ahead to Motostoke, Michael battled a few opponents before he soon arrived back to Motostoke himself. Passing by Motostoke Stadium, Michael knows he must keep in mind that he'll be facing a very tough Gym Leader in the same stadium where his Gym Challenge has started.
As Michael entered the Budew Drop Inn, he came across a familiar Gym Challenger, Marnie, who asked Michael to battle her which he accepted. With Michael managing to win at the end, both Gym Challengers thanked each other for a good (yet tough) battle as they proceeded to go rest up (in their rooms at the Inn) to be in top condition for facing the famous Fire-Type Gym Leader of Motostoke.
