Plot

The player meets Blue with his Pidgeot who remarks that he would love to have battled the player, except that he had already battled other Trainers today. However, he agrees to give the player some battling tips. He first introduces the player to Flannery but is surprised to find that the two are already acquainted. The three then have a battle with another team.

Blue next introduces the player to Misty, only again to find out that they are on the same team for the Pokémon Masters League. Blue states that the player could be much stronger if he was on the team, but Misty is incredulous that Blue always believes he is better than her. Flannery suggests a battle to resolve the argument, and Blue further suggests joining a team-on-team elimination battle. Blue and Flannery join the player to form a team and win against their first opponent.

After winning themselves to the finals, Blue is surprised to receive a Poryphone message stating that Misty had been defeated. Misty soon joins the player's team and Blue accuses her of being sloppy in battle. Misty pretends not to hear and delivers a message from the opponent who defeated her stating he wants a rematch with Blue. Misty leaves the arena and they soon find out that their finals opponents are Bruno from the Indigo Elite Four.

After the battle, Bruno commends how well the player's team worked together. Bruno's apprentice is dumbfounded that they lost against children, however, Bruno remarks that underestimating them as children indicated that he still harbours hubris and concludes that team battles are about how well Trainers work together, not on individual strength. Bruno, Blue, and Flannery all pledge to train even more. Flannery and Bruno begin training together immediately.
