After four days of training, Dylan finally managed to beat the Elite Four again. Tybalt was a huge help against the first two, Alyosha and Messiah handled Bruno, and he had to use a mix against Karen. Messiah mostly soloed Lance's team with Ice Beam, and Thor had just enough health to survive one hit from Gyarados and counter with a fatal Discharge. When he won, Lance repeated the same speech he had given last time, and Oak and his co-host even showed up again. It was really weird - as if they had forgotten the last time this happened. He did like getting the chance to register his new team at the Hall of Fame, though.

He felt emboldened, and decided to take on Red again. Thor had to learn Rock Climb so he could make it back to the peak. Tybalt survived Pikachu's Iron Tail and one hit KOed it with Earthquake, despite a 30 level gap in Pikachu's favor. Blastoise missed its blizzard and focus blast often enough for Thor to take it out. Lapras was the hardest to deal with. He had to wall it off with Messiah until it ran out of PP for all its moves and knocked itself out with struggle, while Red and Dylan both threw around full restores. Snorlax ultimately lost to Tybalt thanks in part to the defense drop from Crunch, and Charizard was helpless against him, dealing very little damage with dragon pulse and falling to one Rock Slide. Venusaur was the least impressive of all: it was slower than Alyosha, failed to OHKO him with Sludge Bomb, and fell to two uses of psychic.

Red didn't say anything. He left the mountain, moving so fast that Dylan couldn't tell where he had gone. There was no arguing about it now: he was the best trainer in either Kanto or Johto.

As he sorted through his backpack for hyper potions to refresh his team with, his hand touched something. He pulled out his notebook and stood there in the snow, flipping through it. There was nothing there except simple drawings and scrawled notes. It had been a long time since he had added anything to it. He flew back home, went to his room, and tucked it away in the drawer of his desk.
