Plot

Template:Incomplete synopsis The scene opens to Serena riding a Rhyhorn with much difficulty. Her mother tells her that she's competed in Rhyhorn races everywhere and that she can do it as well. She also tells her to keep it up and to "be one with Rhyhorn". Serena is chucked off of Rhyhorn afterwards, and exclaims out loud that she hates it.

The scene continues off from before when Froakie is rushed to Professor Sycamore's lab after a battle with Team Rocket.
