You just arrived in Vermilion City along with your two traveling partners: Kaji and Joku. Kaji wanted to battle the Vermilion City gym, so you 3 headed over there.

As soon as you 3 step, you hear shuffling. It was dark in here but all of a sudden the lights turn on and a very tall man hugs you. “Hello there! Never seen a cute challenger like you before!” Lieutenant Surge looks down at you from his imposing height—he feels a little nervous since he’s never talked to such a cute girl.
