Meli: Let's make one thing clear: I didn't lose! You may have won...but there's a difference!
Linka: Seriously?! And what's that?
Melli: I just lacked...errr...time! Yes, I'm afraid there simply wasn't enough time for me to raise my Pokémon nice and strong! Ah! Could this be why Adaman is always going on and on about time being a precious thing?! My word, the Diamond Clan and almighty Sinnoh truly are never-ending founts of wisdom!
Luke: So how about we do some cooking?
Melli: Yes, yes, I know what comes next. You want to know what pleases Lord Electrode so you can make some balms for it. Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you... Because I have completely forgotten what Electrode likes!
Lexx: Why you big!
[Lexx tries to attack Melli, but his siblings restrain him.]
Linka: Cheater...
Melli: What's the matter? Upset? Too bad anger doesn't make balms!
Adaman: Melli's really giving you the runaround, isn't he, Linka?
[Adaman walks up to them]
Linka: Good timing!
Adaman: These must be the twins, Nice to meet you. Anyways, I guess it's my fault for not telling you in advance what Electrode likes. So here's the—
Melli: Adamaaan!
Adaman: What now?
Melli: I could hear you just now, you know! Are you really going to tell this little noodle what she needs to find? Just like that?! Lest we all forget, you're the leader of the Diamond Clan! Why do you bother with these Galaxy louts?
Adaman: Use your eyes, Melli. Haven't you even looked at your frenzied lord? Don't you feel even a twinge at how it suffers, fighting to control the energy that's bursting out of it?
Melli: I see nothing but a Pokémon overcome with joy at being among almighty Sinnoh's chosen ones! Anyway, it's not like trials and suffering are always cause for doom and gloom. These things exist to help us grow!
Adaman: I'm sorry, Melli. I can't write off these frenzies as some trial from almighty Sinnoh. That's why I'm doing the best I can to help out Linka here. This is bigger than what team or clan we belong to! Oh, and by the way? I wasn't just going to tell her that he/she needs Crunchy Salt—I was going to go right ahead and give it to her. *Gives Linka Crunchy Salt.*
Linka: Thank for being reasonable while he wasn't.
Adaman: Now it's time to make some balms. So lend a hand—both of you!
Melli: Fine! At the end of the day, let none say that the great Melli shirked his duties as warden. I'll help make your precious balms!
[They worked the balms, with the twins joining in on the help. After a while, the balms were ready.]
Melli: There! I made you a practically infinite supply of balms, so chuck all you like at Electrode. But don't underestimate my lord's strength! I very much doubt the likes of you can quell it. So, even knowing you're doomed to fail, you still wish to pit yourself against Electrode?
Linka: I'm ready to battle.
Melli: Heh. You've a great deal more pluck than you have sense, I'll give you that. A word of advice: don't stop moving while you're battling Electrode, or you'll be dead in no time!
[Linka entered the Arena. She heard a voice coming from a large tree.]
?: You must be Lexx's sister, Linka. I was hoping you'll come.
Linka: And You must be Electrode I'm guessing.
Electrode: O.K. guys, entrance time!
[Five Voltorb fall out of the tree.]
Voltorb: Introducing...our lord!
[A Giant pokeball falls out of the tree and onto where the voltorb are, blowing them away. Like the other noble pokemon, it was glowing gold]
Linka: Whoa!
[The pokeball turns around and reveals that it is a pokemon with an angry face upside-down.]
Electrode: I am Electrode, Lord of the Hallow. *Turns right side up* Feel the might of my explosive abilities!
Linka: Alright you're on!
[Electrode fired a yellow ball of electricity, the electric ball came toward Linka. She tried to dodge it, but it kept following her.]
Linka: Ugh. I can't shake off the attack!
Electrode: And my friends would like to join the fight too!
[As Electrode shook, Voltorb rained down on the field and exploded, Linka dodged the explosions, and started throwing balms at Electrode. Electrode jumped to where Linka was, but she dodged out of the way while still running from the electricity ball.]
Electrode: You think one ball of electricity is awesome, how about two?
[Electrode created another ball of electricity which like the first, came toward Linka.]
Linka: Another one? Seriously?
[More exploding voltorb rained down. The others were watching the battle as Melli was cheering for Electrode.]
Melli: That's right! Blow that White haired flimsy noodle to smithereens!
Leif: Is that allowed?
Adaman: Unfortunately, it is. It may seem like an unfair matchup, but that's how Electrode fights against its foes.
Lexx: I wish my stuffed animals could do that, uhmm minus the exploding part. Then I'll have an army and have tea party guests at the same time.
Adaman: Stuffed...animals?
Leif: Oh yeah, Ummmm...How do I put this...we don't have pokemon in our world.
Adaman: *Surprised* W-w-Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?
[Adaman's Jaw dropped. Back with the battle, Linka got hit by both electricity balls, she kept throwing balms then Electrode created two more electricity balls that followed Linka was well as raining voltorb.]
Electrode: Now for an electric explosion!
[Electrode floated in the air and begin charging up electricity.]
Linka: Uh-oh better get away from him.
[Linka ran out of the way just before a pulse of electricity blasted around electrode. Electrode then started to get woozy.]
Linka: Now's my chance!
[Linka sent out Pach.]
Electrode: I shall fight your pokemon!
Linka: Pach use Super Fang!
[Pach used Super Fang on Electrode.]
Electrode: Eat my Cloroblast!
[Electrode uses Cloroblast on Pach.]
Linka: Super Fang again agile style!
[Pach uses Super Fang on Electroode.]
Electrode: Here's another Cloroblast!
[Electrode uses Cloroblast on Pach, but Pach dodges it.]
Linka: Iron tail!
[Pach used Iron tail on Electrode, stunning it.]
Linka: Gotta throw Balms non-stop!
[Linka threw balms rapidly at Electrode, The lord of the Hallow came back to its senses. Electrode begin another electric explosion attack, Linka dodged it and as soon as Electrode was dazed, Linka sends of Sakura.]
Linka: Sakura, use Draining Kiss!
[Sakura used draining kiss on Electrode.]
Electrode: Thunder Agile Style, Let's go!
[Electrode uses Thunder on Sakura.]
Electrode: Now for a Strong style one this time!
[Electrode uses Thunder on Sakura.]
Linka: Use Draining Kiss, Agile Style!
[Sakura uses Draining Kiss on Electrode.]
Linka: Draining Kiss again! Strong Style!
[Sakura used draining kiss on Electrode. Stunning him. Linka threw balms at Electrode before it snapped out. Electrode then created another electricity ball, but this time a blue one. Linka kept dodging the orb as well as the rain of exploding voltorbs. After dodging another electric explosion, Linka threw balms until...]
Electrode: *rolls back* Nghh... how could I...?
Linka: Ya! *Throws the finishing balm at Electrode, freeing it from its Frenzy and returning it back to it old self which was like a voltorb only the red and wooden colors are swapped. Electrode rolls over to Linka]
Electrode: Oh yeah, That's so much better! Take this as my thanks for helping me.
[Electrode hands Linka a yellow plate.]
Linka: And this plate is...
Electrode: The Zap plate. Well, I shall be off!
[Before Electrode could roll away, Lexx then runs up to it.]
Lexx: Wait! *Gives his crown to Electrode.* This is a much better gift than that silly 'blessing'.
Linka: Isn't that your most prized possession?
Lexx: Don't worry, *Pulls out another crown* I always carry a spare.
Electrode: Wow! I can't wait to show it to the other nobles!
[After Electrode rolls off, The others walk up to them.]
Melli: Oh, for shame! What utter calamity... *drops to his knees* I agreed to make those accursed balms, yes... But now that almighty Sinnoh's precious blessing has vanished forever...it's just so unbearably sad!
Adaman: Is that how you see it? Electrode looks relieved to me. Glad its suffering's ended, probably.
[Melli gets back on his feet.]
Melli: Oh, come on, Adaman! Seriously? That's just your wishful thinking, nothing more. All your preaching doesn't ruffle me one bit, but if almighty Sinnoh grows angry with me because of this...I don't know what I'll do!
[Ingo then came to them]
Ingo: I arrive, right on schedule!
Melli: Now what did YOU bother coming back for?!
Ingo: Only to say that I recalled some things after Linka did the honor of traveling with me. Things to do with a world where I believe I lived before my memories were lost. Most people there caught Pokémon, lived with them, formed supportive partnerships with them... And then there were the Pokémon Trainers... The ones we called Pokémon Trainers were truly devoted to their craft. They always looked toward the next challenge and had Pokémon battles every chance they got, all to help themselves and their Pokémon grow. Through battle, Trainers forged bonds of understanding with their Pokémon, and with their opponents and their Pokémon, too. With everything, I suppose. If Pokémon and people work together, we can forge new paths forward. We'll be lost to history if we go on believing only Pokémon can be strong— or if we go on fearing them instead of understanding them.
Adaman: Interesting...
Melli: Oh! Once again, the brilliant Warden Melli has realized something rather clever! It's not just my Pokémon that need to be strong—it's me as well! The greater my valor and might, the more my Pokémon can reach their potential! I wonder if almighty Sinnoh will be pleased once I've achieved exactly that? Hey, Adaman! Share with me again the wisdom of almighty Sinnoh passed down among our clan!
Adaman: All right, all right! Open your ears, shut that big mouth, and listen well, my friend! "Give not into sorrow. Give not into anger. Offer only friendship to those around you. Give not into sorrow. Give not into anger. Bring not almighty Sinnoh to sorrow. For that is when time's flow will cease." And there you have it.
Ingo: Bravo! Excellent! Please, all of you, do your best and run toward the destination— an even higher state! Of course, your "higher state" is clear, Linka. It surely lies with the next lord! Now, this time I really will make the complete return to Jubilife Village. Perhaps with someone like Linka to show that Pokémon need not be feared, the people of Hisui will find new tracks forward. Now, begging your pardon, I owe Commander Kamado my report. Until next time, Linka.
[Ingo leaves.]
Adaman: Can we find a way to honor our past while also forging a better future? Maybe that's what almighty Sinnoh really wants from us. After all, it rules over all time... and it created everything there is.
Melli: Be ready to shield your eyes, Galaxy grunt! I'm going to polish up both myself and Electrode until our strength and brilliance are blinding!
Linka: *smiles* We'll see about that.
[As the left, Electrode is shown wearing its new crown.]
Electrode: Now how am I supposed to roll with this...
