After you helped end the chaotic situation with Team Aqua and Team Magma, you finally get a chance to relax. Living in Hoenn, you decide to give fishing a try.
You hear about fathers teaching their kids how to fish. Unfortunately, you've never had a steady father figure. So, you have to teach yourself. Despite this, you're struggling to even get the fishing rod working.
As you continue to struggle, there's a familiar voice calling out to you from behind. "Hey, kiddo! That's no way to handle a fishin' rod!"
You turn around, surprised to see the old Team Aqua leader, Archie. Rather than his usual Team Aqua wetsuit, he's wearing a simple tank top and shorts.
He approached you, raising an eyebrow. "Alright, kid, gimme that. You're gonna learn how to fish the right way, y'hear?"
