I can see why they started making the legendary on the cover actually relevant to the plot in later games. It's pretty weird that you get Ho-oh by having it randomly summoned by some magical Eevee girls. Though most of what's happened so far has also been pretty weird.

Yeah, it's definitely weird. I think they were trying to sort make Ho-oh more plot relevant in line with the newer games. In the original Gold, you just get the Rainbow Wing from the Chairman of the radio tower and then take it up to the bell tower and find Ho-oh chilling there, and the Kimono girls are just five trainers you can fight when you first get to Ecruteak. I kind of liked that, though. I'm not really sure how I feel about the sense of destiny that comes from the mystical Kimono girls scouting your character in this game. I like the idea that your player character is just some random kid in Pokmon.

You might have said this, but do you plan on playing through Kanto and Mt. Silver too?

Yes, I will be playing through those. I feel like this game isn't really complete until you beat Red.

Dylan went back to the Pokmon Center and added Ho-oh to his party. He walked around with it for a little while, hoping it would turn some heads, but no one commented on it. They just talked about the happenings at the light house or which Pokmon could be found nearby. In the end, he decided to take on the Pokmon League without Sol or Deus. That would be more sporting. He flew back to New Bark town and had Leviathan surf and waterfall for him. After a long path full of tough trainers, he made it to Victory Road. He stopped and rested in a woman's house before going in, though he was a little suspicious about sleeping in the same room as a stranger. After he left, he checked his bag to make sure she hadn't stolen anything.

There were no trainers on Victory Road, just a lot of boulders and rock-type Pokmon. He had his Seadra lead the way for most of it, and then switched to Teddy to let him gain some experience, though that made the Golbat a much bigger annoyance.

At the end of the Road, Morris caught up to him and challenged him again. He had a full team of six now, but Dylan won without losing any Pokmon. Romeo dealt with Sneasel and Magneton, Teddy brought down Feraligatr with one Petal Dance, Kadabra and Haunter were no match for Ivan, and Sawyer took down Golbat. After the battle, Morris decided that Lance had been right and he needed to love his Pokmon more, and that was why he kept losing. Dylan didn't really think that was his problem. If he had been giving the advice, he would've just told Morris to switch his Pokmon and use items more often.

For his final preparations, he found a trainer to help him evolve Leviathan to Kingdra (which meant a trip back to Mt. Mortar for a Dragon Scale,) and revisited the Goldenrod department store for a Focus Blast TM, which he gave to Romeo. He had also taught Thunder to Sawyer and Blizzard to Leviathan. Now there was nothing left to do except challenge the Pokmon League.
