Chapter Plot
In another region, at a certain time, a Cacnea, Beautifly, Volbeat, Duskull and Wingull attack a man, but he easily defeats them, impressing his interviewer and cameraman. The woman reveals that the man, Norman, is the new Gym Leader of Petalburg City. The woman, whom Norman says are moving from Johto to join him in Hoenn today.

A woman driving a moving van is watching Norman's interview. She calls out to the back, trying to convince her son, Ruby, to watch, but Ruby is busy making hats for his Poochyena, Skitty, and Ralts. Ruby admires how cool his Pokémon look. He notices his Poocheyena's hair is longer on the left side, so he cuts it a bit, showing its elegance.

The van suddenly gets mired in mud. The lady calls for Ruby's help, but Ruby refuses on the grounds that he doesn't want to get his Pokémon muddy. Instead, he has Ralts use Confusion to lift the enormous van out of the mud.

Ruby, looking around, says that Hoenn seems beautiful—perfect for his team of intelligent, strong, adorable, cool, and beautiful Pokémon.
