Meanwhile in the nearby Petalburg forest, a battle was fininishing.

"My wurmple! How could you!" the bug catcher complained. "Maybe if you used some different pokemon instead of just catching those pathetic things, you would have a slightly increase chance," the victorious trainer bluntly said.

"You know what? I take that back. Just give up battling and release the Wurmples. They'll be happier that way." The Gastly that was by his side laughed at this statement as the bug trainer ran away.

"That wasn't even a challenge. C'mon Skull, take a rest. I'll call on you if it's needed." Jake returned his Gastly to it's pokeball.
