@Trainer17: "The Leaf does not lie on the path that leads to the Eight Color Blade--and many times, heroes do not venture into the forest to find it--it is given or granted to them." Brock smiled. "We will first venture to Vitiva to the south--there I can learn just how well you four can work as a team in battle. Once we learn from Sage Oak if The Leaf has appeared, I will enlist two of my closest friends and allies to lead us there. One of them will teach you how to link hearts with Pokemon."

As a Vulpix hopped on his lap, Brock went on "Our journey will take us through the forests of the elves, through the mountain realm of the dwarves, the shining realm of the fey, and beneath the sea, where the sea angels dwell."
