"Well..." Magnus said. "I'm glad that everyone is calm now."
"Yes." Silver added. "As I said before, my half-brother is powerful. He is cunning and ruthless. However, he is also extremely prideful, so much so that he will never turn down a challenge. You said that you were able to defeat him in battle, which is how you got him to leave Celadon. I am impressed."
"Yeah, but it was so difficult. I only barely won that fight... Who knows how much stronger he's gotten."
"Which is why you must get stronger."
"We are... but how are we going to get strong enough in time?" Rodney asked.
"Continue on your journey, challenge Gyms, do what you would normally do. Also, train with each other as much as you can. Friendly battles are a great way for Pokemon to bond and grow stronger."
"If you can become strong enough, you may be able to defeat my half-brother again." Silver mused.
"What about Lucille?" Magnus asked. "Should we worry about her as well?"
"I'm not sure... I recently got a message from my father, saying that she and Kristoph are out of the country on their honeymoon... so they shouldn't be a problem until they get back in another month."
"You still keep in contact with your father... despite everything?" Rodney asked.
"He is still my father... as the saying goes 'You keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'... But we haven't seen one another for many years. I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful."
"No..." Gold said. "But perhaps I can. Here, take this." Gold signed some kind of ticket and handed it to Rodney. "With that, you'll all be able to travel to Mt. Silver... however, I would advise against it until you are stronger, preferably after Rodney gets his eighth badge. The wild Pokemon there are the same level, if not higher, than the Pokemon you have now."
The waiter walked up to their table and took everyone's order with a smile. After he had left, they resumed their conversation.
"If I may ask..." Silver asked. "When do you all plan on rescuing Saffron? If I were you, I'd do it either immediately before or immediately after Fuschia City. Any later and Team Rocket's roots may be too deeply embedded to remove."
"Yes." Silver added. "As I said before, my half-brother is powerful. He is cunning and ruthless. However, he is also extremely prideful, so much so that he will never turn down a challenge.
