After saying goodbye to Flannery and Mr. Moore, Ash and his three companions returned to the Pokémon Center to rest. Before leaving, Flannery told Natsuki to come to the Lavaridge Gym in three days to challenge her, as she had postponed all her other challenges. Because of this, the four of them decided to stay in Lavaridge Town for the next three days. Besides, there was still some time before May's next Contest, and since Verdanturf Town happened to be right along their way, nobody was in a hurry. They spent their time leisurely training or visiting the nearby volcano.
"All right, Kirlia, tomorrow is the battle with Miss Flannery, let's go ask Ash to borrow some Fire-type Pokémon to train with!" Natsuki woke up early today, a rare occurrence for her, all fired up for the upcoming battle.
"Fine by me. But it's so early, Ash is probably still asleep," Kirlia checked the time and saw it was only seven-thirty; Ash was definitely still sound asleep at this hour.
