[There's no footage of the gym leader battle this time. Just Atsuro holding up the Rising Badge to the camera in front of the gym. As always, the camera crew is his Clefairy, who is riding on his Porygon. He don't really have the heart to break up such a good duo for all they do.]
Just got the Rising Badge! Only got one last badge to go before I hit all eight of them! [Wait, so this is his seventh badge?] I'll be going back to Goldenrod for the holidays before taking on Azalea's gym leader.
[A thoughtful pause.]
...Man, it's been eight months since I arrived here in Johto. A lot of things happened in that time. [A sigh, which is visible in the cold air.] At the rate I'm going, I'd have all eight badges before my first year here is done, even if I take it easy.
So, everyone... [He smile a little, but it seem too casual for his next question.] Do you feel like you accomplished a lot here?
