Black shouts a challenge of battle out to Route 1 in general, hoping that a trainer will accept it. Hiker Andy, hidden nearby, does, and they begin to have a triple battle: Black's Tepig, Munna, and Braviary against Andy's Cottonee, Roggenrola, and Blitzle. However, part way through, Andy has a fit and runs off in order to gulp down lots of water, his Pokémon losing while he is distracted. Andy declares that he'll just retire as a trainer, spilling his life story to Black. Black gives him a pep talk, which doesn't work.
