Carter knew Teddiursa and Tynamo could probably use some training as well, so he went to the PokeMart and stocked up on Potions before heading to the infamous Nugget Bridge. He stepped onto the bridge confidently, activating Teddiursa's Pokeball as the first Trainer stepped up. Carter could tell by his clothes and net that he was a bug catcher. Teddiursa, let's go!"

"Go, Caterpie!" The bug catcher said. The green Bug-Type attacked immediately, using String shot to try to wrap Teddiursa up. "Teddiursa, Fury Swipes!"

The two ttrainers battled, and Carter emerged the victor. He made short work of the others on the bridge as well, until he came to the last one. It was a shady-looking older guy. He handed Carter a nugget and congratulated him. "Good job, kid. You know, you're strong now, but you could be even stronger."

"Even stronger? How?" Carter asked.

"Why don't you join Team Rocket? We have only the strongest Pokemon." The man said, smiling darkly. "Why, if you joined us, you could get stronger than anyone else. Even the gym leaders."

Carter looked at the Nugget in his hands, considering it.
