Do you think you are ready for Brandon, Ash?
Remember, the reason you lost last time was you didn't have a handle on Brandon's Pokémon, right?
[at the ruins, Brandon looks at a large panel and notices it as a slide puzzle]
Of course! If I could just rearrange these symbols...
Hey, Brandon, it's me!
Oh, Ash! It's good to see you, son.
Hey, thanks. So how is all your work going?
Good. I have just solved a most important riddle. Observe. [slides the panels around] Very soon, I will have the answer I seek.
[After Ash recalls his defeated Torkoal]
You've battled very well, young man.
Yeah, but I've got a lot to learn.
[nods in agreement] A good first step: honesty makes you grow. Let me tell you one thing. A Pokémon battle isn't only about the trainer, you see. It's all about a Pokémon and its trainer truly becoming as one.
I'm trying to learn that, really.
Good, because the only one who could teach that to you is you.
I'm never going to forget that, I promise.
[places both his hands on Ash's shoulders, acknowledging Ash's growth] That, young one, is the ultimate Pokémon battle.
[understanding Brandon's advice] Right!
