While Beh, Roo, Chatlord, Chimlord, Buizel and Burmy fight down Team Galactic's army of Staravias and Skuntanks, Pearl bolts in shock and disbelief as Phool reveals that the Lady is the daughter of the Berlitz clan, the number one wealthy Berlitz family in Sinnoh, and he and Ignor are professional bodyguards who have been hired to protect the girl on her journey.

Pearl holds his head with his hands, and wears a twisted look on his face as he tries to calm himself from the information overload. And so, the Lady is not a tour guide as they thought, but a rich girl, and client of professional bodyguards. Next to him, Dia keeps a nonchalant expression, and continues to stuff Berries into his mouth.

Phool states that the boys don't seem to comprehend what they are saying, but similarly, they don't quite get why Pearl seems so startled and what exactly the misunderstanding is in between. However, there isn't really time to dwell into that now, and there is only one thing that they wish to know. Phool puts on a serious look, and demands the simple answer of whether Dia and Pearl are their friends or foes.

Without hesitation, Dia replies that they are friends, much to Pearl's astonishment. Dia licks the berry juice off his fingers, and grins that since they are all there to protect the Lady, they are definitely friends. Phool seems satisfied with the response, and Ignor agrees that it is the best simple and concise answer.

Dia giggles and offers to perform a Manzai verse now that they are on the same side, and says it will help lighten up the mood.

Dia: Speaking of Pokemooon~ This is the Veilstone City~ Since we are already in Veilstone, we're bound to fail if we stand alone~
Pearl: It's not the time for that silly!!

The two bodyguards crack a smile at the joke, and say they will leave that for later, as the most important thing right now is to protect their hidden Lady from this big army of foes in front of them. With that, Phool and Ignor call Buizel and Burmy forward again, and the sea weasel unleashes a blast of water on the Skuntanks while Burmy shoots out a barrage of Hidden Power towards the Staravias. However, being greatly outnumbered, the two Pokemon are having a hard time, and Phool points out that it will be too inefficient to take out the opponents one by one.

He suggests repeating their battle strategy at the Lost Tower, and Ignor quickly orders Buizel to spin its tails to create a twister. The spiralling wind instantly catches the Skuntanks and Staravias, and sends them crashing back towards the TG grunts. Watching the battle behind the bushes, Pearl comments that the sand picked up by the twister helps to blind the foes, and Dia exclaims that Buizel's tails are really cool to be able to generate such power winds.

Pearl then recalls what Phool said about the hidden Lady, and assumes that they are referring to Lady Berlitz. He wonders why the bodyguards must hide her from these eerie people, and Dia believes that they must be after her. Pearl places his hands on Dia's shoulders, addressing him as Diamond, and Dia instantly gets what his companion is about to say. Running up towards Ignor with Beh and Roo, Dia grins that there are better things to complement the twister than just sand, and orders a Razor Leaf from Roo. The Grotle unleashes a shower of leaves, which are quickly caught by the spiralling winds, and slam hard onto the Staravias and Skuntanks. Ignor compliments Dia, and says the twister serves to blind and attack their enemies simultaneously now.

On Phool's side, Pearl warns him that the Skuntank from behind is trying to deliver a Night Slash, and Phool quickly orders Burmy to take it down. Phool is surprised that Pearl is able to foretell what attack a Pokemon is about to use, and Dia giggles that it is Pearl's talent.

The two bodyguards then share a nod and grin with each other as they watch Dia and Pearl fend off Team Galactic's army with their Pokemon. Quite unexpectedly, these two boys have extraordinary battle sense, and will no doubt emerge to become powerful trainers after they teach them some professional strategies. With that, Phool and Ignor hop behind Dia and Pearl, and tell them to stand next to each other and follow their commands. The bodyguards clasp their hands to make a gun-like hand sign, which Dia follow suit, while Pearl is a bit taken aback as to what they have in mind.

Phool starts off with Chimlord, and wants Pearl to have it perform an aerial attack as if it is climbing trees or rocky cliffs. Pearl does as he is told, but begins to fret when Chimlord starts to plummet as there are no actual trees or rocky cliffs in the area. Phool assures him and says it is part of the attack combo, and quickly tells Dia to command a Stealth Rock from Roo. A barrage of rocks are instantly unleashed onto the scene, and Chimlord adeptly scales across them to reach the center of the twister, which is now surrounded by the flock of Staravias.

Phool then calls for an Ember, and Pearl is doubtful if it is enough, but Phool tells him to just trust them, and Chimlord hurls a ball of fire towards the twister. The attack gains great momentum as it is tossed around, and manages to knock down all the starling Pokemon in the blink of an eye. Pearl exclaims at the unexpected effect, and Phool explains that the spiralling winds have greatly powered up the Ember, on top of highly increasing its scope of attack.

While the TG grunts and their Skuntanks remain bewildered at what just happened, Chatlord creeps up behind them carrying Burmy in its claws. After hovering right above their heads, Burmy unleashes a Hidden Power, and takes out all the skunk Pokemon. Dia marvels at the scene, and says he never thought their Pokemon were so strong.

Phool grins that he has certainly underestimated his own Pokemon, and Ignor says they just haven't used the right strategies to put their strength to good use yet. Pearl still can't believe that their Pokemon are classified as strong, but Phool tells him to see for himself, and points to Chimlord and Roo, who are beginning to glow and tremble.

In a flash of light, the two take the new bodies of an Infernape and a Torterra, and the boys exclaim that they have evolved into their final forms. Pearl believes that their Pokemon must have unknowingly built up all these skills and experience from the gym challenge training sessions they had with Lady Berlitz, and Dia agrees that while it was the Lady who actually battled in the gyms, these training partners of hers have also grown stronger together in the process.

Several Staravias and Skuntanks begin to stand up from the ground, and Phool comments that their foes are apparently not giving up yet. However, he says they must try to move, and Ignor wonders why. Phool reminds him that they have overlooked the fact that they are still battling right in front of the Department Store, where they have hidden their very important client. Ignor realizes their careless thought, and motions Dia and Pearl to follow as they lure the TG grunts to another part of the city.

Meanwhile, in the fitting room of the Veilstone Department Store, Lady Berlitz gradually wakes up, and slowly lets her eyes adjust to the darkness around her. Prinplup pops out from its Pokeball, and the two begin to explore the place. The Lady soon sees the assortment of clothes and items that line the shelves, and realizes that she is in some kind of big store.

Back at Team Galactic's headquarters, Saturn stomps his foot in fury with Croagunk, and finds it hard to accept that his stupid grunts still haven't been able to get to the girl even knowing she is already within the city. Holding in fist in anger, he grunts that he must make the bodyguards suffer the ultimate horror. As soon as he says that, he remembers something that is equivalent to the ultimate horror, and puts on a smirk. He walks into the adjacent room with Croagunk to look for Jupiter, another TG commander, but finds no sign of her.

He then remembers that Jupiter has said the energy charging has been fully complete, and steals an evil glance at an odd-looking machine that has five metal plates opening up from a shiny globe in the center like the petals of a flower. While Croagunk also puts on a smirk, Saturn wonders if it is time to test out the device...

(Original Japanese Jokes)

1. In the short Manzai verse Dia did for Phool and Ignor, he said 'Tobari City desu~ Kono machi ni kitekara arasougoto bakkari de mou tobaritaku arimasen', which means 'This is Veilstone City~ Ever since we come here, there have been endless fights, so we don't want to rest the night here now'. The pun is on the word 'Tobari', which is the Japanese name of Veilstone, and also means to stay, or to rest the night at.
