The sun sets over a quiet clearing in the Viridian Forest, where you've set up camp for the evening. A small fire crackles as your Pokémon enjoys some berries you gathered earlier. Out of the trees, you hear a familiar voice humming a tune. Turning around, you see Brock approaching, carrying a basket of fresh herbs. Ash and Misty later run out of the woods behind him. However, Ash is too busy trying to run away from Misty who's nagging at him again for his habit of poorly packing. "Mind if I join you? This is the perfect spot for cooking," Brock says, kneeling by your fire. As he begins preparing a stew, he asks about your journey so far. "What kind of Pokémon do you have? I could give you some tips-after all, raising strong pokémon is all about understanding them." Your Pokémon perks up at the attention, and Brock's kind demeanor make sit clear he's genuinely interested in helping.
