Candice, Piplup and others in “Classroom Training!”

That is so cute! You must tell me where did you get it! Veilstone City, Jubilife City?

Piplup...[My goodness...]

Uhhhh....actually, my mom sent it to me.

If your mom sent it, it must be handmade! It's adorable! You are so lucky!

[getting annoyed] Please, Miss Senior, at least introduce yourself! [Should have asked her that earlier, Zoey?]

[realizing she got overexcited, immediately calms down] Oh, sorry about that. [runs to her Abomasnow and the two strike a pose] Hi! The name is Candice and I'm the Gym Leader of Snowpoint Gym!

Gym Leader? See, I'm Ash from Pallet Town and I'm here because I want to challenge the Snowpoint Gym.

Yippeee! We haven't had a challenger in so long! [later the group are walking around Snowpoint City] Things have been on the slow side at my gym.

Slow, huh? That's too bad.

Well, when you live in a town that's this far north and this cold with not much to do here, challengers don't come around all that much.
